       I'm quite interested in the CDs listed above, but I wonder
       if you'll accept order overseas. And if so, how much is the
       freight fee?

     What is this for? Does it contains the information of the colleges or

     I'm quite interested in some of your CD titles, do you accept foreign

I've tried that with the SMARTDRVs that came with DOS 5.0, WIN 3.0 & WIN
3.1 to no avail (plus the HYPERDISK cache I run the BBS with).  From
what I understand/heard, the SMARTDRV that comes with DOS 6.2 is the
only disk cache that can cache a CD-ROM at this time (I haven't tried it
yet... so I couldn't swear to it).

Sorry about that. It had been a while since I finished it, so I had
forgot about that. At the house with the poodle in it, go in the kitchen
and get some kind of water container. I forget what it is. You'll se it
in there though. Fill it up from the sink. Go back to the incinerator
and pour it on the wire. Voila.......Happy Zorking.

Nah, that isnt' quite true, Terry,  Here, I run some older vintage Hitachis
(purchased from you, as a matter of fact) and 2 Pioneer 604Xs.  Speed
comparison is laughable.  The Pioneers will copy files to the HD for transfer
eons prior to the Hitachis.  Plus, I use a door called EZROM that deals with
any possible collisions that might occur in my multinode setup.  The Pioneers
are approaching an affordable amount of bucks and are extremely worth the
outlay if speed, ease of setup, and reliability is the issue.  For about
$1000.00, you can purchase one of these quad speed hummers...

Ref the rest of your message, you outlined the specifics pretty well.
Are the CDROM's mentioned above falling into the category you explained?
I am specifically looking for something legal, (guess that means no
pentration) licensed, and much larger than your current disk. I
understand the costs associated, but am willing to pay the price as its
better than getting carted off to court. I beleive your current CDROM
has 1000 gif files, and I dunno how much space it uses. I need to try
and use my CDROMs to the fullest potential. I currently do not know of
any other CDROMs that are available that fall within the "legal" status.

Please keep me informed.

$2500 for seven pictures of donald duck is pretty expensive. Did'nt know
the ol boys at Disney were so hateful. I dont guess they asked him to
remove the pictures first did they? Were they on CDROM or HDD cuz Lord
knows I have'nt looked at everything on all my cdroms yet.

I am glad you liked our country, the northern part of Queensland is very
nice indeed.
What CD's do you have to sell, what charges for ail mail, what payments
do you accept. A bank draft costs 10 to 12 dollars first up.
So a CD costing $20.00 US. + $10.00 postage total $30.00 would cost me
$42.00 Aust. + $12.00 cheque Total $54.00 Aust.
So $20.00 US turns into $54.00.
To work out US $ TO Aust. $, you times US $ by 1.4.
Well nice chatting Steve..

 Hi Michael,

The passwords for the all the levles are:

***                EASY         NORMAL      HARD
STAR DESTROYER   * falcon *      biggs       ackbar

TRENCH RUN       * brigia        dagobah     kessel
END CUTSCENE     * greedo        mimban      organa

The cheat is as follows:

On the Lucas Arts logo at the start just press the joystick up & then press the
fire button,
press the joystick down & then fire ,
press the joystick left & then fire
press the joystick right & fire.

You will here a bell and a dopey voice say "Lucas Arts".
Once you get to the game menu select the difficulty that you want to play
at.Then just press 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F to go level 1 to 15.Also +
takes away damage and - adds it and escape completes the  level for you.

Cheers,

Trevor.

Greets to all!
 I have recently aquired a Mitumi Double speed CD-ROM card bundled with a
sound card. It is operating fine. However I was wondering how I should set
up the drivers for maximum efficiency. What size buffer is best for MSCDEX?
What is the purpose of this buffer? At the moment I am using a 20K buffer.
Is it possible to have this buffer in extended memory? Animations are
sometimes jerky and I thought that a larger buffer would help. It doesn't
seem to.
 Also, can anyone reccomend the Shareware overload trio pack? It seems
like terrific value at $40. I wouldn't recommend the five foot ten pack
(unless it was bundled with your CD-ROM) for $95 (Only Animation
festival & Kings Quest V are half reasonable).
 Thanx in advance, D*****.

PS Thanx to Stephen Ranson, Denis Coleman, Alan Tan & Glen Mohnoham for
their CD-ROM buying advice (on another echo). I went for a $399 bundle.

 You are right... but such a process would take a very long  time.
 I  think  such a  program  as  this  one  is  dependent  on   the
 credibility/reputation of the producer of the Cd  Rom  disc.   If
 you know that a company "doctors"  the file dates on  their  cd's
 it wouldn't be any use in running this program on their  cd.   If
 file dates  are  doctored  they  could  be  doctored  inside  the
 archives  just  as  well...  so I  don't  see  the  advantage  of
 uncompressing them in light of the hour or  more  that  it  would
 take to check the dates that way.

 Anyhow.... this program can already do  an  average  of  all  the
 files inside an archive.... all you  have  to  do  is  unzip  the
 entire cd to a directory on your hard drive and then  run  AvgAge
 on    those    uncompressed    files.    Have    fun      <grin>!

Hello Tim!

I apologize for having to echo this message to you, but I feel it is
neccesary.

I'm sure you probably read more messages on this echo than anybody else,
so I'm positive you've seen the onslaught of for-sale message on this
echo area.  When my BBS first started receiving this echo, there was
only one or two vendors posting ads to this area.  Lately, it seems as
if everyone and their mother is posting commercial advertisements to
this echo.  Personally, I'm sick of it.  I'm not alone either.

I was under the impression that there was a seperate echo area for
posting of commercial advertisements.  I'm getting tired of sifting
through advertisments to find useful CD-ROM information.  After all,
that's what this area is all about:  useful information.

I'm also sick of getting unsolicitated messages from dealers every time
I ask a question.  I'll post a message asking for an opinion about
something, and immediately I get response saying "I have it in stock for
x amount of dollars."

I'm urging you and the moderator to ban such advertisments from this
echo.  As I said above, my fellow users are getting sick of it as
well.  Commercial advertisements are not allowed on the fidonet anyhow,
and I'm hoping you and the moderator can do away with them soon.

Thanks for hearing me out.

I think that when you're in the main station when you enter and you can
choose to play a mission, etc. you hear a digitized voice saying something.
Also the gunfire, etc. from the ships would be digitized.  There's no way
you would get that sound through the headset.

Well I thought I had finished the game when I gave the last few pages to those
brothers but was I in for a surprise!  What the heck have I released unto the
unexpected world (g)

Anyway...I think that I must find the vault located in very plain view on the
Island of Myst.  I think the instructions for finding the vault is for me to
locate each of the Marker Switches on the Island and turn everyone of them
"OFF" and....that's it I'm stuck.....pleeeeeze can someone help me here?

Hi everybody,

                                HELP!!!

Is there anybody who know how to contact Brice Fleckenstein, sysop of
1:231/190?

We use FIDONET newsgroup to communicate freely, to share information.
I am particularly delighted that we could do trading and sales through
FIDONET now. It is through mutual trust that we believe in each
other's word.  And I do not want to see that somebody use
advertisement through FIDONET to deliver inaccurate information.

On 2/24 I sent Brice a check of US$130.00 for the purchase of 5 CDROM
and shippment (the shippment address are printed clearly together with
the order, and sent with a check enclosed).  According to bank records
the check was cashed on 3/14.  But up to this date (5/10!), I have
still not received the above order.

Concerning this, I have sent Brice numerous emails (since March) which
he never replies.  I have also sent him a letter more than 3 weeks
ago, asking him to have the shipment of the order confirmed, but I do
not receive any response from him yet.

It seems peculiar that both internet and NETMAIL could not reach Mr.
Brice's mailbox!  I am now VERY frustrated.  Hoping it to be a case of
mis-understanding more than a case of cheating, I'd GREATLY appreciate
if anybody could relay this message to Brice (or any of his friends)
about my serious concern.

We are a group of computer professionals (more or less :-), I do not
want to bad-mouth anybody, but I also do not want to see inaccurate
advertisements / traps appears in a FIDONET newsgroup.  I believe my
above case must be justified.  Otherwise, who knows what will happen
the next time you trade something with a friend from a FIDONET
newsgroup?  Shall we sign an agreement first?

I wish my case be justified by your kind assistance!  Any comments are
welcome!

Thanks

=======================================================================
Brice.. Don't know if this guy sent a message directly to you or not, but
I've seen you writing in this echo before.  You should clear this up to
make sure you don't get a bad reputation in this echo.

Hi Tony, I see that you have finished the game!  Well I am stuck and I hope you

the vault is in very plain view, I cannot find it!!! Just give me a little
hint.
Thanks

Hello All!

I just picked up an Intersect NEC CDR-25 (External) CD-ROM reader, to go along
with my NEC CDR-84 (Internal) CD-ROM reader.  I'm using the exact same drivers
I used when I was running just the internal.  I was able to perform the proper
switch settings, so there isn't a conflict.  The problem I'm having is that the
CDR-25 seems to slow down my whole computer when searching, and at times get a
read drive failure.  The CDR-25 is hooked up to the same 16bit SCSI interface
kit, model # CDXT003, as the CDR-84.  Do I have to live with this, or is there
something special I should know or do?  Here's part of my config and autoexec:

Config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:1 C:\SCSI\MA13B.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\LOADHI.SYS /R:2 C:\SCSI\NECCDR.SYS /D:NECCD

Autoexec.bat:

C:\QEMM\LOADHI /R:2 C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:NECCD /M:10 /E

I tried raising the value 10, but I kept on getting a drive failure message. If
anyone can help, that would be great.  Also, is there any good CD-ROM cache
software out there?

Shawn

That's right.

I got one that works fine :
During the presentation (when the Death Star is on the background and the Lucas
Arts figure is spinning on it), push the joystick up + press button 1, then
push the joystick down + press button1, then same to the left and finally to
the right (be quick because you have only the time of the presentation to
accomplish this). If the cheat is accepted, you'll ear a bell and a voice
saying "Lucas Arts". After that, the following cheat keys are active :

During arcade sequences :

'+' reset your damage level to 0
'-' set your damage level one step higher
<Esc> Skip to next chapter withou completing the current one (usefull to your
son !!)

Between arcade sequences (during video sequences) :

<1>-<9> put you directly to the corresponding chapter (interesting for your son
as well)
for chapters 10 to 13 (and so on)
<a> --> chapter 10
<s> --> chapter 11
<d> --> chapter 12
<f> --> chapter 13

Have fun !

Best regards

Mathieu

Hi there!

I've just bought "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary" on CD-ROM. This version is fully
spoken with the voices of all the original crew-members. Neat!!

BUT...the last mission "Vengeance" seems to have been changed!! I checked the
other missions with a 'walkthrough' and everything is the same. But the last
mission is a lot longer now!! In the 'normal' version, there are two places
where you can go: the bridge and the sickbay. But I first get a screen of a
turbolift-panel and I can go to: bridge, auxiliary control, sick-bay,
engineering, transporter-room and weapons-bay.

The problem: I have done everything I could... Power is reastablished and my
shields are up. I have access to all rooms, EXCEPT WEAPONS-BAY. I've just been
hailed by an Elasi Frigate; I have 30 minutes to look up some data concerning
his comrades in prison. When I go to the transporterroom (where I've put a
portable energy-source to feed the transporter) Spock says that this is the
only way to the torpedo-bay; but I don't seem to get anywhere with that
transporter, while everything works just fine according to Spock...

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPP!!!!!

All hints are welcome!!

Thanks!!

jAn.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the difference between this echo and
the CD_SALE echo.
Looks almost identical to me.

 Hello Mario!

MB>What is the difference between FAO1-3 and FAO Gold 1-3?

 FAO Gold 1-3 is the best pictures of the FAO series plus
 approximately 40% new pictures of the same high quality.
 As well, all the FAO Gold pix have had all of the BBS logos
 and advertisements stripped off.

 Hope that answers your question Mario!

 Hello Justin!

JT>Could anyone suggest some good CDs dealing in the occult,
JT>anarchy, phreaking, hacking and the like?
JT>Thanx,

 Forbidden Subjects has all of those subject areas plus more.
 We sell it for $39.00. Here's my description:
  FORBIDDEN SUBJECTS - (Original Version, If you Dare!)
  The most bizarre and intriguing information that is available
  on CDROM to date. This disc has become so controversial with
  our advertisers that many of them have banned us from referencing
  it's contents in full detail for fear of retaliation. Hacking
  and Phreaking files with tutorials and Tone Box information, Secret
  CIA, FBI and Law Enforcement files, Bomb Plans and "How to" Crime
  files, not to mention Sick and Twisted Graphics (Appalling!),
  BrainWashing, Computer Virus Code and Security Secrets, Occult
  and Magic rituals, Forbidden Ceremonies as well as much much more
  that others have tried to hide from the public information
  channels for so long. Includes MegaSearch for those Facinating
  late night text searches (Both Windows and DOS).

 If you have any more questions Justin, give me a holler.
 BTW, if you decide to order this CD from us, tell'em you
 saw it advertised on a BBS or Fidonet Echo!

 Take care,

Hi, Scott.  This is my first time replying to a message on a board, so hope you
get this message (you must if you're reading it, right?).  Anyway, regarding
7th Guest.  I have a similar system set up as you and I've had no trouble
running the program (just finished it last night, in fact).  What's in your
config.sys and autoexec.bat files?  My files are just the default settings that
came with the system and I've not fooled around with them yet.  You say the
game worked okay before, so you must've screwed up your config/autoexec files,
right?  Anyway, this isn't much help to you, is it?  Did you read the
"readme.txt" file that tells you about MSCDEX and the buffer settings.  What
about your sound card.  It wouldn't let me install mine the way I wanted to, it
only let me choose soundblaster.pro (mine is a SB16) and it does crash
occasionally when swapping disk 1 and 2.  Anyway, hope you get it going.  The
ending is quite disappointing (too short).  If you need help with the puzzles
let me know as I've solved them all (except the microscope which is
unsolvable).

This is the second time that a person has jumped to a conclusion based on a
false assumption.

We DO in fact have multimedia stations for students.  However I have a network
of 125 older B&W computers that could benefit (remotely) by a text based CDROM.

If I had ASSUMED from your statements that I should ONLY have multimedia
equipment, I would only be able to afford over the last few years a handful of
computers (as many schools are currently limited to) - of course I will not
make the same type of "simplified assumption" that you and others have.

Anyone who is developing a school network knows there is, and will always be, a
trade-off between newer vs. older equipment AND how much of it we can afford to
buy.  Also, we will always have a mix of newer and older equipment.  Shall I
ignore the largely untapped potential of the older equipment and help make it
obsolete before its time?  Maybe some people can afford to do this, but those
of us in normal funding level schools (ie. not "model schools"), who want to
get as many students as possible using technology, cannot.  I have more
students in my Junior high school using computers than most senior high schools
in Calgary.

Bottom line -Yes I would love to have yet another multimedia CDROM for my
"four" multimedia stations, however I would like to have "one" CDROM that my
"125" B&W computers can access from any point in the school.
Quite reasonable I think!!

Lets put this to rest please as I would prefer to get something "done" rather
than debate why things aren't perfect.

So I ask again, any good text based CDROM discs out there?   ;->


... Peter

Hi there.  Your message is making it to the bulletin boards.  Unfortunately, I
don't know what the page number is.  (I'd love to find out).  I've tried just
about every number that popped up just about anywhere in the game, but with no
luck.  I figure it must be for later in the game.  Good luck in finding it and
I'll be waiting to find out too. (from reading the message, you don't have to
bother sending me one.)
It's a great game, eh?

Hi.  I know how to get the page, but it doesn't work in either book.  You need
to turn them all to the "on" position, then, as a final step, turn the one on
the dock to the "off" position.  Sounds like you only got half of the page.
The other half is somewhere else.  If you've found a third book, please tell me
how to find it.  If not, I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.  Please leave
me a message if you've found it.
Bye!

I've got a Mitsumi FX001D (2X) drive and a Sound Wave 32 card from Orchid. The
card controls the drive well and I get sound from any games I play or from
sound files I load thru Windoze etc.
The problem is I've tried at least 6 different music CD players (software) and
I can not get any CD music. Any have any clues, or perhaps know the secret

Hi Steve C.!

13 May 94, Steve Chapman writes to Steve Mann:

 SC> Steve Mann
 SC> Do you have the below CD as yet.
 SC> If so what's the price.???

 SC>                      THE  MUSIC  MONSTER

 SC> Now shipping! Check with your dealer or call! The "Music Monster"

<stuff deleted>

 SC> are included.  Dealers call TODAY for dealer pricing!!!

Sounds good - didn't see the original message - Did they leave leave contact
information?  If you have it I'll contact them and see what I can do for you.

On a similar note, there is a new cd coming out which is a bundle of Band in a
Box, Midi Music Shop plus more which normally sells for hundreds of dollars
separately.  I should be getting an OEM version of it for around the $50 mark.

It sounds like a hot disc and several of our other music oriented customers are
eagerly awaiting further information.  I'll keep you informed.

Anyway if you pass on to me the contact information for the above company I'll
look into bring some in.  I guess it would be too expensive for you to buy it
one off direct (with shipping/insurance/bank charges etc.)

Regards,
Steve M.

Hi Jerzy!

15 May 94, Jerzy Farynski writes to Steve Mann:

 JF> I would like to order Night Owl 11 + Night Owl 12 for $79.00. and take
 JF> advantage of your offer of free postage.

 JF> I will be sending a cheque tomorrow morning.

We are all but sold out of N.O. 12 (demand has been overwhelming).  We are
again bringing in a large quantity express from the US (should be here Friday).
This is the same situation that occured last week when we increased our order
by a large amount only to find that demand over the weekend increased by a
larger abount.

Night Owl 11 and the other dozen or more shareware discs we carry are all still
in stock.

Regards,
Steve

SC>Taken from CD Echo, What do you think.

Actually Steve, it is not the US cdrom echo, but the international
cdrom echo, which is one and the same echo that you posted your
message to Steve Mann into. (there is no Australian cdrom echo,
nor a US one for that matter). Your messages locally are readable
by anyone >anywhere< who picks up this cdrom echo...

I have seen adverts for F1GP on CDROM.

Has anyone seen it?
Is it any different or better than the floppy disk version?
How does it compare with the IndyCar game?

Dealers please reply with quotes on this echo.

Thanks

CDSPEED.ZIP    72,025  08-19-92  Benchmark Test For CD-ROM Drives

About CDSPEED

     CDSPEED, a performance monitoring and evaluation tool,
     measures CPU utilization when transferring data from a
     CD-ROM drive at sustained data transfer rates into main
     memory. CPU utilization is an important measurement
     that indicates:

     * the CD-ROM drive's ability to transfer data at
       sustained data transfer rates

     * the efficiency of the CD-ROM device driver

     * the CPU bandwidth available to process the data after
       a read request and before the next required read operation

Drop me a line if you can't get hold of it elsewhere.

Ok,
   Here's what ya do...remember the button in the elevator that only took you
1/2 way down?  It took a few seconds to work....OK go up the elevator and press
the button and you can get to the REAL controlls, just jump out as soon as you
hit that button.  Then you can spin the Gear World Fortress to connect to other
little islands.  On these tiny islands there are symbols.  Set these symbols on
the pannell where you came into this world.  And that's it...

Oh yea, make sure you line up that dial in the basement.

Hope that helps.  If not, ask me again where yer stuck.

Hello, fellow electronic wanderers,
This is a heads up note.  Pass it On!


Dangerous New Trojan Horse Virus Found on Internet

TORRANCE, Calif., April 29--A new "Trojan Horse" computer virus is on the
Internet and is labeled with the name of the fourth largest manufacturer
of CD-ROM drives. Chinon America Inc., the company whose name has been
improperly used on the rogue program, is warning IBM and compatible PC
users to beware of the program, known as "CD-IT.ZIP."

One of the clues that the virus, masquerading as a utility program, wasn't
on the up-and-up was that it purports "to enable read/write to your CD-ROM
drive," a physically impossible task.

CD-IT is listed as authored by Joseph S. Shiner, couriered by HDA, and
copyrighted by Chinon Products. Chinon America told Newsbytes it has no
division by that name. Other clues were obscenities in the documentation
as well as a line indicating that HDA stands for Haven't Decided a Name
Yet.

If CD-IT is actually run, it causes the computer to lock up, forcing a
reboot, and then stays in memory, corrupting critical system files on the
hard disk. Nothing but a high-level reformat of the hard disk drive will
eradicate the virus at this point, a move that sacrifices all data on the
drive. It will also corrupt any network

David Cole, director of research and development for Chinon, told
Newsbytes that the company knows of no one who has actually been infected
by the program. "We felt that it was our responsibility as a member of the
computing community to alert Internet users of this dangerous virus that
is being distributed with our name on it," Cole explained.

LS>Any hel would be appreciated...
LS>---

O.K. Liz I will see what I can do for you here. First take the audio
cable (the small one) that runs between the CD and the Sound card. Take
the four wires out and reverse the white ones with the black ones. ex.
switch the black with the white. hope this is clear. this will give you
thee audio portion that you are looking for. As for the mem. I take it
you are running Dos 6.2 by your mention of memmaker. Just use a text
editor and go into the autoexec.bat and the config.sys and load them
into high mem manually. Alot could depend on how much memory you have in
the machine also. below is the two lines in my machine hope they help.

Autoexec.bat;
LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:10

Config.sys;
DEVICEHIGH = C:\DOS\MTMCDAS.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0

Then it happened......Geoff Bowes says...

GB>           I am after some info on QTW, in particular QTW.INI. I have
GB>fiddled with the ini settings countless times, but am still unhappy wit

  I assume this also happens if you copy the QTW file to Hard drive and
play it from there?

GB>On the other hand, maybe it's my video card (Cirrus Logic VLB 542X 2meg

   I have a Cirrus Logic on my motherboard with 1 meg, and it will play
Critical Path QTW files with no jerkiness whatsoever. I would suggest if
you are running Smartdrv or any other cache on the CDROM, that you turn it
off. It actually reduces your transfer rate.
Let me know how it turns out, as I'm also a QTW user/tweaker/smasher:)

I had a simular problem, but not with anything like what you are using.
I have a 386 40, Mitsumi drive (non SCSI) and the same type of problem.
Figuring the drive was overheating (crash after 20 min. of the computer
being on). I moved it outside of the case.  No help... I would then open
the case slightly and let a fan blow into the case, after 10-15 minutes the
Cd would then work again.  Then the finger test...:)  Hottest chip in there
was the CPU..got a small cooling fan on a heatsink and installed it on the
CPU.  Not another CD crash after that.

        I have the same Ecarta too, and it's really lousy! It's too small!
 The last three topics I looked up weren't in it. I geuss they wasted too
 much room with the audio and video clips. As to Chompton's I heard it's
been around the longest and is the largest one available. I'm planning on
getting it next month. As fo the price, Sears had it for $250 and half
price if you give them your old encyclopedia disk. Babages had the exact
same package for eigther $79 or $99. If you buy it at Babages you can try
it and bring it back if you don't like it. If you have a babages around
where you live.

 If it's a problem, you can change the buffer settings on MSCDEX.exe
 (it's the /m:xx, where xx is a number of buffers) to a slightly lower
 number.  Then mscdex.exe will be smaller and will fit in the high
 memory area you have left.

 Or you could do like me and switch to OS/2 2.1 if you have the hardware.
 I get 630+ k in a dos session and my CDrom is available.

and it works quite well.

Maybe your monitor isn't capable of all the modes your card is capable of.  I
have an XGA card and a VGA monitor.  The problem you talk about happens when
I try to get 800x640 resolution(I think that's right).  First, try not
loading the driver.  If that doesn't work, maybe you're trying to run it in
SVGA mode (don't load driver and switch mode to MCGA). If you've already
tried this, sorry I have no ideas.

where the little demons are said the rocks are alive, but I can't seem to

Scotia's barrier!??  If so, how? If that's not the answer, don't tell me how
to get passed.  I just can't seem to figure out how to get the blood!!!!!!
Maybe it has something to do with the two doors I can't get opened in the

George, this is a definite problem, since you must match the sounds.  It

You must hold the left control up, and by moving the right control up, the
amount of time you hold it controls the amount of turning...since there are
4
possible positions (exit, 2 paths to find symbols, and the last just points
out
to sea), i have noticed that 4 distinct sounds occur after you lower the
right,
then the left lever...listen to distinguish the position of the fortress..

Kent responds:
I can't hold up both controls at the same time.  The right control stays
where I put it, but the left control immediately resets where I am no
longer holding it.  I can get only a single bong and no other sounds!

Not true.  It is available on CDROM, but not at a price most can
afford.  Note the information in the following article:

Britannica Launches Its First Electronic Encyclopedias

Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., a publisher of reference books,
educational software, and information services, has announced two new
products that mark the company's first major entry into the field of
electronic encyclopedias.

One product, the Britannica Instant Research System, designed for
publishers, businesses, librarians, and professional researchers, is
meant to provide quick, easy access to facts. The other product,
Britannica Online, will be available to college and university
faculty, students, and staff via the Internet. Neither product is
designed for the general consumer.

The announcement was made by Joseph J. Esposito, president of
Encyclopaedia Britannica North America, a division of Encyclopaedia
Britannica, Inc.

"The introduction of these two products represents a significant step
forward for Encyclopaedia Britannica," he said. "We are determined to
be a leader in the new information industry, to bring information to
people who need it in ways they can use it best, and these products
exemplify that commitment.

"In the coming years, the Encyclopaedia Britannica will be reinvented
countless times for different applications and for different people.
It won't be just a single, solid thing, a set of 32 volumes, but a
planned set of texts that can be organized, accessed, and presented in
many different ways. Over the next decade we will bring into the world
as many versions of Britannica as possible, and these two products are
the first ones."

The Britannica Instant Research System contains all 44 million words
of the bound Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1994 printing, as well as the
Merriam Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, the Merriam-Webster's
Collegiate Thesaurus, and the 1994 Britannica Book of the Year. These
features are combined with powerful search-and-retrieval software that
enables the user to get facts or answers easily by typing in
natural-language questions, such as Why is the sky blue? or Who
directed High Noon? The system locates ev ery reference to the key
words in the query, compiling a relevance-ranked list in which
articles appear according to the likelihood that they contain the
information desired.

The Britannica Instant Research System is delivered on two compact
discs, which contain the product's text and search-and-retrieval
software. The user loads the contents of both discs, by means of a
CD-ROM drive, onto the computer's one-gigabyte hard disk. The system
is then operated directly from the hard drive.

Britannica Online will also contain all text articles from the bound
Encyclopaedia Britannica, along with approximately 2500 graphics and
illustrations and the Britannica Book of the Year. The product will be
licensed to colleges and universities, which will make the Britannica
data accessible to faculty, students, and staff. Britannica Online
will feature relevance-ranked retrieval and hypertext links between
related articles, between articles and illustrations, and between
articles and listings in both th e encyclopedia's index and its
outline of knowledge, the Propaedia.

In announcing the new products, Esposito stressed that neither
replaces the printed Encyclopaedia Britannica. "The Encyclopaedia
Britannica is a database with many possible manifestations, and these
are just two of the possibilities. Each publishing platform has
distinct advantages that make it preferable for certain purposes," he
said.  "Among other things, you can browse through a printed book in a
way you cannot with a computer; it provides for serendipity, the
pleasure of chance encounters with things y ou weren't looking for."

Encyclopaedia Britannica, which appeared first in Edinburgh, Scotland,
beginning in 1768, is the oldest continuously-published reference work
in the English language.

Hi Bruce!

 BD> educational cd's you thought were best, must have slipped your mind!!
 BD> My kids are 3 and 2 years old, the 3 year old is doing very well in
 BD> grandma & me, arthurs teachers troubles. Any hints would be appreciated,
 BD> one that caught the eye was allie's playhouse.

Sorry about that Bruce.  With hundreds of these catalogues going out I did
forget about highlighting good titles for children aged 2 to 3 years.  I have
just had someone reviewing a few of these titles and have also just received
some new reviews from the US.  Allie's Playhouse and Tortoise and the Hare are
both brilliant but unfortunately expensive.  They're from Broderbund (the
makers of Grandma & Me and Arthur's).  They're newer games and hence have not
been released in OEM form.

A couple of new ones that we imported after the catalogue went to print also
look good.  These are:

        Putt Putt's Fun Pack - Junior Adventure ............ $49
        Fatty Bear's Fun Pack .............................. $49

I have seen both and they look good.  Fatty Bear has excellent graphics and
sound and games with varying levels of difficulty.  My son Andrew (2.5 years)
loves it but cannot really play it yet.  I think he'll be ready to play it at
age 3 to 4.

Another new one that did not make it in time for the catalogue is Rodney
Funscreen.  I have not had this one reviewed yet but it is inexpensive at $38.
I've heard good things about it (that's why we imported it) and it's from
Activision.  I'll post a review on it in here soon.

We should be getting a regular stream of new titles in this catagory over the
next few months.  We have connected to a series of educational reviews from the
US which should help us choose the most appropriate titles to bring in.

Regards,
Steve

Tim, don't you have any message size limits in cd_rom_sale?
You see, in Australia (I think) we receive a combined echo, which
means that we not only have to put up with selfish people who
obviously can't bear to miss one single sale, but we have to see
TWICE their messages (Double bummer!)

Please tell me that you don't allow multi-screen catalog postings..
By the way, please do not misunderstand, I LOVE adverts in the echo,
I just HATE the selfish wasted of bandwidth we see all too often.

Yes Jacky, I think investing in a CD-ROM is worthwile. It
is also a good time to by because we are in the middle of a CD explosion.
But it depends if you want a sound card package or just the CD-ROM.
I recommmend buying a Pack.

Hi Emil!

 EJ> Which mail order dealer in Australia stocks the _latest_ Simtel
 EJ> CDROM, CICA Windows CDROM and other Walnut Creek titles?

We don't stock all of the Walnut Creek range but the one you mentioned are in
stock.  I spoke to the distributor last Saturday morning about the Simtel and
was told that there has been no new release.

The new CICA is on 2 cd's.  A new release of Hobbes came out in February.  We
also stock the Source Code CDROM from Walnut creek for software developers.

You probably got our catalogue with your last order but these new CD's didn't
arrive in time.

Hobbes (Oct 93)     $19
Hobbes 1994         $29
Simtel              $29
CICA Windows (2 CD) $35
Source Code CDROM   $35

For the complete range of Walnut Creek CD's you could contact CDROM Support in
Perth who specialise in Walnut Creek products. Their number is [phone].
Speak to either Don Pugh or Kevin Littlejohn.

Regards,
Steve

No trouble at all and thanks for the courtesy of letting me know.  If and when
you do reorder these you can have a 10% discount to help that cash flow beast.

 I haven't seen it myself, but someone I was speaking to yesterday
 mentioned a disk called something like "Multi-Media Wizard" that does
 benchmark and access and transfer rate tests on the drive, as well as
 sampling and assessing the quality of output from your sound card. I
 saw it in my price list for $35, but as I say, I haven't tried it out
 myself...

 Give me a call if you'd like me to get you one...

 This isn't a very good answer, but it takes Sierra about 18 months to
 produce each of their newer games, and the CD quality we are all
 growing to like so much is probably going to stretch that even further.
 This is straight from the lips of Roberta Williams herself, from an AVI
 video that was on the King's Quest 6 CD...

 What is so wrong with the idea of sticking 10 cheap disks in a bundle?
 A lot of newbies to the computer world are happy to take home just
 such a bundle just so they have something to play with on their new
 toy. Personally, I'd be happy to swap the lot for Mad Dog McCree or
 somesuch, but I can also understand that a bunch of $8 CD's would
 appeal to someone who doesn't already have an extensive CD library -
 its a good start and I don't think anyone would try to sell them as
 anything else...

 What do you mean the genuine article? They're the same drive, made by
 the same company in the same factory. One has 'Creative' on it and is
 boxed in SoundBlaster kits, and one doesn't. Gee, I'd hang out for that
 extra feature. Almost as good as having 'RAYBAN' on your sunglasses

Pretty Boring usually, though Vistapro 3.1 can render some pretty awesome
pictures.

DD>Are the high quality pictures as good as looking at the real thing?

Unless you have access to the "3D Sensorama" computer system from 50 years
in the future,I doubt it :)

Ray, it's been a verrrrrryyyyy long time since we last spoke, but I'am
glad to see your still at it. As one of your old time beta testers, I
can honestly say, this is one of the best file doors I've had the
pleasure of using. I'am just sorry that RoboBoard FX isn't support
by this program or I would install it in a minute !!!

Keep up the great work and if you ever get a version that would work
with Robo FX, drop me a note and I'll be happy to run it on our system.


Note: To the users of this echo, if you haven't tried the above file door,
I strongly suggest you give it a real good look. When we last used it, it
had more gigets and gagets than the space shuttle. A REAL solid program
that will knock your socks off, unless Ray has down graded the program !!

Most of the people we know, run the above with 32k buffers. The only other
way to improve on the system would be add a good disk cache, but then you
really wouldn't see that much of an improvement.

Nope, unless your software will allow it. The only thing you can load

We sell the "Shareware Trio" pack for $16.00 here, as to weather it's
worht the $$, that would depend on the user using it. But, for $16.
you do get 3 cd's, which isn't that bad of a deal.

Regarding the 5ft 10 pack, we have that as well and it's priced for
$35.00, that about $3.50US per cd. My feeling is that even if 4 out
of the 10 cd's are of any interest, I've received my moneies worth.

Plus, you receive over $100.US worht of discount coupons good for
other commercial products as well.

Hope the above helps and if we can be of any further service, please
feel free to drop us a note via the fidonet address below and we'll
be happy to assist you further.

PARTS-MASTER SPECMASTER with a Toll Free 1-800-638-8094 Tel Number.

The Connector in the Rear has a 37 pin Female connector.

Can anyone tell me what type drives these are and what type cable hooks

Appreciate any and all assistance in getting this on line here.

 I don't know about the other guy's deal, but there are 1 or 2 CD-ROM titles I
could afford to match that offer on except for the Canada shipping included
part
- not that I'd make any real money at it, though....

 If anyone trys the guy out, I'd like to know which title he's offering at that

unlike most CD-ROM cookbook authors.

 Allways IN-2000 does a pretty good job of this with it's built-in "bus sense"

>without a caddy you run the risk of scratching your CDROM everytime you use

 After 11 years of using audio CDs, I find this "risk" to be CONSTANTLY
overstated - and the cost of caddy protection to NOT be worth the actual value
of the additional protection.

 You are MORE likely to damage your CD getting it INTO the average caddy than
in
putting it into caddyless CD-ROM drives.


 Now, if you deal with small children and CD-ROMs, I would call a caddy drive a
wise investment....

 "Free" only if you have totally free InterNet access - and if you value your

 I have carried it since I first started selling CD-ROMs - and it just recently

Scott, you need to check your mailer setup.  You tossed back a message
I got a week ago from Mike Shannon, only this time it shows that you
orginated it and sent it.  In fact, I saw a whole bunch of messages
from you that had originally been sent out from other people, so it
appears that you're taking in the mail, removing the originator's name,
adding your own, and sending it back out.  Somethings definitely not
set up right in your mailer.

Ok, there are a lot of things that you need to have picked up. The hamburger
from the ship's fridge, the binoculars,the rebreather,shield generator, and a
few other things. Just look in every little place on the ship to see if there's
something you can take.. Also, have you gotten to the part where the fat lady
makes a meal out of you? that's one place you need to get past..  You know that
pit that's a screen east of the witchdoctors hut? There's a bush right next to
it that you can take the leaves off of to cover the pit.. Then place a
Twinkiefruit on the pit and the lady will come bouncing in and fall in the pit
and then you can get past.. Make sure to pick up the bones you'll come to..
Also, make sure to save your game VERY often.. Hope this helps some.. Look
around, you should be able to find hints on a BBS somewhere or if you want get
a membership to America Online.. They give you 10 hours to look around so you
can get the rex nebular hints and then cancel your account.... You'd need a
major credit card or a checking account also.. thier # is 1-800-827-6364.

Will, ya could try using Qemm.  It will free up a lot of conventional

have 624k conventional with all the drivers loaded in.

How about the for sale messages being moved to one of the for sale echoes? We
don't have to read thru messages of people selling Word for Win when we ask a
question about it in the WINDOWS echo. We don't see messages from vendors
selling XWing when we ask how it plays in the GAMING echo. Traffic in here
could be cut in half (at least) if we eliminate the for sale stuff.

How about it Moderator?

Should we take an opinion poll?

    Recently, I've experienced an occasional failure to read disks that have
    never given problems before. The usual cure for this fault seems to be a
    good lens clean.
         Radio Shack sells a kit specifically for cleaning the laser lens
   but before I buy, perhaps someone would express their findings with this
   and/or other ways of cleaning lenses.

Phil I have given 4 pages to the red and 4 pages to the blue and
have listened very carefully to the voices but I am still none
the wiser.  Could you please broaden your hint ? Find the static
on the voice tracks really annoying.  Thought the hint might be
the last page of myst but tried 300 from the tile book, 15 from
the cd manual and 63/64 from the journal. H - E - L - P !!

Being that it is a "weird" item not alot of stores are going to carry it .

                Dangerous New DOS Trojan ("CD-IT.ZIP") Found

             NASA Automated Systems Incident Response Capability
         ===========================================================

    NASIRC recently received information about a potential "trojan horse"
    program being distributed on the Internet as "CD-IT.ZIP"

    SYSTEMS AFFECTED:

    This trojan apparently only runs on  "IBM compatible" systems; DOS is
    definitely susceptible, and Windows might be.

    THE PROBLEM:

    According to information posted in several Clarinet newsgroups, a new
    and dangerous trojan  is showing up  at publicly-accessible  Internet
    sites.  This trojan, called  CD-IT.ZIP, supposedly gives your PC full
    read/write capabilities  on its CD-ROM drive. The CD-IT documentation
    states the program was authored by Joseph S. Shiner, couriered by HDA
    and copyrighted by Chinon Products.  The problem came to light when a
    user who had downloaded the file  from a FidoNet server in Baltimore,
    MD, realized that it is  IMPOSSIBLE  to make a  standard CD-ROM drive
    writable with a  small software utility  and reported  it to  Chinon.
    Other suspicious indicators were obscenities in the documentation and
    a line indicating that HDA stands for "Haven't Decided a Name Yet."

    In a statement to Newsbytes, Chinon America stated it has no division
    as named in the documentation.   Chinon engineers also report that if
    CD-IT is actually run, it locks up the computer;  it will then remain
    in memory (even after reboot)  and will corrupt critical system files
    on the hard disk as well as any available network volumes.   Chinon's
    R&D Director stated  that he has  not heard of  any systems that have
    (yet) been affected by this trojan.

    THE FIX:

    Although there is no real "fix" for a trojan or virus,  there are two
    important points NASIRC wishes to make:

    1) DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE FILE "CD-IT.ZIP" FROM ANY ON-LINE ARCHIVES!

    2) DO NOT RUN THE "CD-IT" UTILITY!

    Once a system is infected,  the only way to eradicate the virus is to
    perform a high-level reformat of the hard drive!

    To quote  the Clarinet post,  "Chinon is encouraging anyone who might
    have information that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the
    parties responsible for CD-IT to call the company at 310-533-0274. In
    addition,  the company has notified  the major distributors  of virus
    protection software,  such as Symantec and McAfee Associates, so they
    may update their programs to detect and eradicate CD-IT.

   information should it become necessary. If you have any questions about

Jon, That's TOO much! From what I can tell (it's unopened), this MAY not be the
'complete' version.. It says "Episode One" on it.. Is your 3.5" version called
"Episode One" Knee Deep In The Dead??  Regardless, $20. is too much.. I also
see another offer for $7.50.. Can you beat that?? Or/and are you still
interested?? Thanks!!

I will trade my 14.4 internal fax/modem for a EXTERNAL cd-rom drive, the
drive must contain all cables and card, so when I get it all I have
to do is install it and be on my way. But I have one stipulation, when
I get the drive, if it doesn't work with my computer(it's a old computer
and problems arise with too much installed hardware) I will send
it back with no hard feelings.  reply here if interested Bill

The audio connectors on the CD and the card are backwards of each other.
You need to change them around completely.  I had the same problem and
called tech support for Creative Labs.

Basically, one of them is wired Left-Ground-Right-Ground and the other
one if Right-Ground-Left-Ground.  If you know how, just re-wire the
little connector, and you should be good to go....

Creative Labs also sells the new cable pre-made.  Call 405-742-6622.

If the government would do this in Belgium and the Netherlands 'almost' every

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know when Sam & Max will be released on CD-rom ? Overhere in
Belgium I still haven't seen it. Is it already available on the other side of
the big blue ocean (well, it WAS blue once ;-) ? It must be one of the greatest
adventures of all time (most of LucasArts' are), but I will not be temped to
play the speechless disk version, since I know what great fun it is to have
does dazzling dialogs spoken out to you (Day of the Tentacle must be the
funniest game ever, mostly thankx to those voices)...

Greetings,

Koen

Well, they both of course cover the same basic areas, but the way they are
laid out is totally different.  We sell more of the Encyclopedias, mainly
because I think the interface is nicer to work with, plus the fact that the
whole thing runs directly off the CD, with no hard drive installation
required.  I've looked at both, and I wouldn't hesitate to put both in my
personal collection.  Each one has its own nice features, but they reveal
details about the assassination in different ways, each one painting a
slightly different perspective.

Rebel Assault is the best game! Return to Zork is really fun. Megarace has
awesome animations, but gameplay is sort of lame. There's tonnes of programs
though. Just look through a computer shoppers magazine.

I do this.  I charge $100 to restore your data from tape, and write the
disk.


 AC> how will the picture quality compare to a kodak cd-rom?


That *COMPLETELY* depends on your scanner, and the graphics file type you use.
If you export the pictures to a 256 color .GIF file, you can fit thousands onto
the CD, but the image quality suffers somewhat.

If you export to 24 bit .TIF files, the real limitations will be your scanner
and your video display capabilities.

Hello Scott!

Answering a msg of <Tuesday May 03 1994>, from Scott Raley to Chris Kelly:

   Just a question guys...what is this fix for rebel assault?  (haven't really
played it yet, since i don't have a joystick yet, and the mouse control seems
too difficult..)

Give you a hint without giving it away...if you are where i think you are  (3
level house with windows).

You have to define the "rules" through which you can traverse the house...there
are 4 different shaped windows, corresponding to 4 directions (UP, DOWN, LEFT,
RIGHT).  You start on one of the bottom windows...the direction you choose to
go defines the direction for that shaped window.  For instance, if you are on a
square window, and go left, you MUST go left every time you hit a square
window...one direction for each type window...if you already have defined the
direction for a particular shape, then the computer will automatically choose
that direction when you hit that shape, which is why you will see some choices
made automatically...if you need morehelp, lemme know.. (this is the last
puzzle to solve, i believe, before seeing the ending..)

Exactly which worlds do you get the pages from?  The only world I haven't been

 Sorry to ask you sir, but can you give me your address again. I set it
 on my desk and my secretary mistook it as one for the mailing list. That
 you are now on, but I'd like to send you a catalog as soon as I receive
 your mailing address again.

RG>What are these BBS/Fidonet discounts and how much are they?

 Well, for example, T&A 2 The Maxx is advertised for $14.95 in
 Computer Shopper, you can get it here for $12.95, as well, many of
 our other titles are discounted only in this medium.

 Hope to hear from you soon Robert!

 Have a great weekend!

 Well as far as Shareware Overload Trio, I have the original Shareware
 Overload and it a pretty good disc, but don't but it for $40, I have
 seen it many places for $19 for all three discs!

                                Hope that helps

   7TH GUEST ....... $ 23.95

   This is NOT an OEM version. Full Version, Full Documentation,
   Registration Card, and Manual.
   The only difference between this and the full retail pack
   is there is no video tape (the same video is on the CD),
   and no fancy box.

Does this CD require a fast cdrom, I have a slow 1x drive and was
wondering if it could handle it? What kind of sounds and graphics does
it have? What do you mean by Scissors and Stones game?

        I have Myst and Rebel Assault for trade or preferably sale!

                                Thanks,

Andrew:

These CDs are part of the 5' 10 Pak CD compilation and are available
from us for a total price of $47.00 CDN + PST + $3.50 S/H.  A couple of
the discs are a waste -- like Doom -- but the majority more than make up
for the difference.  If you're interested, we have them in stock.

For what little it is worth, Grolier was the first electronic encyclopedia
generally available, first on-line then on cd-rom disc. Compton's followed
by a few years and released the Compton's Interactive Encyclopedia in fall
of 1992. Encarta came along later still. The newest electronic encyclo-
pedias that I am aware of are Axis (French), the Encyclopedia Britannica
(Britannica Instant Research System) and McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of
Science and Technology. Both BIRS and EST are this year and both they
and Axis are *very* expensive.

BTW, it is difficult to tell the "size" -- which is "largest" etc. --
because the space could be taken up with audio, pics and videos etc. A
better way is to go to your local library and look through the paper
editions. Then you can have a side-by-side-comparison. Encarta is
an updated, upgraded version of Funk and Wagnall's for instance.

In regard to the SIRIUS FIVE-FOOT TEN-PAK.....

I'd like to try and clear the air about this package.  There have been many
posts regarding it's relative worth - now you can make up your own mind.....

Many of you have asked why it is so inexpensive... what is wrong with it?

There's NOTHING wrong with it!  One or two of the dealers that scooped them
up with the intention of reselling them are bitter because the package is
available at many of the larger software outlets for between $30 and $35,
while the dealer cost is not much less.

The "Five-foot 10-Pak, Volume I" is the first in a projected series, released
by Sirius Publishing as a promotional item, packaged inexpensively in a
five-foot soft plastic sleeve that folds to 6" x 6" X 1".  The concept is to
represent ten different publishers in each pack, NOT with "demos" but full
release versions.  (Only one of the discs in this package is a "sampler", but
the identical disc is also available at retail outlets.)

This comes under the general heading of "you get what you pay for" as opposed
to "caveat emptor" ("buyer beware").  Volume I contains "something for
everyone" and, although not every disc in it will appeal to you, you should
find at least three discs that do.  At ten bucks apiece, that leaves seven
"free" discs that you can use for frisbees - or trade with other collectors.
I happen to like more than three:


(1) Time Man Of The Year '93 (Time Magazine, 1993)  IMHO, an excellent disc,
                 with LOTS of reference material on many personalities.

(2) World Fact Book  (Wayzata, 1993) State department data, CIA info, travel
                 advisory, and photos of EVERY country!  Very interesting.

(3) PC Karaoke "Classic Oldies" - The retail package w/o the microphone.  This
                 disc includes "Danny Boy", songs by George M. Cohan, etc.

(4) The Best Of Media Clips 2.01 (Aris, 1994) - A sampler of high res images
                 from baby animals to dollar bills; also includes some audio
                 clips and full motion videos.

(5) World Atlas MPC version 3.2 (Software Toolworks) Requires Windows; if you
                 have a sound card it plays the anthems of many countries.

(6) The CD-ROM of CD-ROMs - a Consumer's guide to available ROMs with
                 information on over 7000 CD-ROM titles and 5000 CD-ROM
                 companies.  There's a bonus on this disc: Christmas Karaoke

(7) Animation Festival (Wizardware, 1994) Stereo sound, full motion video,
                 award winning animations, a multi-level 3-d virtual reality
                 game, and scenes from "Lawnmower Man" and "Steam" (Peter
                 Gabriel's hit music video).

(8) King's Quest V - (Sierra) The full retail version of the hit game (now
                 that KQ6 is available, you'll find this game selling alone
                 for $20-30).

(9) Stellar 7 - (Dynamix) A state-of-the-art "outer space shoot-em-up"; it
                 isn't my kind of entertainment, but I'm told it's great.

(10) Doom - This is the "registered" version of Episode 1 ONLY (the shareware
                 version is available on many local bulletin boards).  This
                 disc is, for me, the most disappointing in the package, as it
                 contains less than 10 megabytes of data.....


All the titles ARE THE SAME AS THE RETAIL VERSIONS and, with the exception of
the one "sampler", not demos in any sense.  They may not be the 1994 versions
but, for the money, they are a heck of a bargain.

My only gripe is the packaging.  The sleeve is badly die-cut, and some of the
discs may be hard to remove without damaging them.  The package comes with a
single sheet of documentation, and a single registration card, covering all
ten products.  This is good news and bad news.  You don't have to put stamps
on ten individual registration cards, but you also don't have individual
documentation sheets for any of the discs you don't want to keep for yourself.

Incidentally, I DO NOT SELL THESE.

                                                  - Arnie :+}

Microcosm as a game sux.  My friend was so appalleed he gave it away when he
sold his soundcard...so dont waste the moohlah on MCosm!  Um, Wing Commander
deluxe...a bit old, but still a classic I gues.  My thoughts would be to hang
on a little longer for some of the up and coming releases.  L for Liberty,
looks awesome, Delta V also looks good!!  There is a new game coming from the
Wing Commander team called....Pacific Strike.  MAYBE WORTH A LOOK!
Yeah, the prices may be up ther though.....just dont get MCosm...yuck, blah
(all the game play of a wet hedgehog)!!!
See ya!
PS- if it makes you feel any better, I want yoiu to know that I am jealous that
ya have CD money to spend

    Brice, they were individual titles from the 5'10 pak.  In U.S. $,

 Tim, Just my 2 cents.. But, I don't mind the advertising (as long as they

items (CD's only of course!).. I wouldn't like seeing Hardware, etc.. Listed

recipes.  I am writing my own program to handle my recipes, but it will

Yes, but I could not recommend one.

Bought mine thru Better Business Systems at 1-800-697-9993 (mail order).
Had it for 2 months now. The original driver was real buggy at first.
Pioneer worked very hard with me to correct the problems I had.

Sorry to jump in here, but PPI won't be making any upgrades for the FXSA
to 28.8. I wish they did, I really like to keep my FXSA. They do have a
new LCD model. PPI's faxback service has more info on it.

-> I am seriously considering upgrading to the Pioneer 1804X.  The

-> 1)  Is there a sound card that is compatible with the Pioneer 1804X?

Any sound card will work in system with the SCSI Controller card needed to
drive the 1804X.  To my knowledge, no sound card has the external port plug
(SCSI w/Termination power) needed to drive an external drive.

-> 2)  What is the amount of memory needed to *power* this drive?

Just the normal amount required by MSCDEX, plus another 16K or so.  You will
not be able to run two of the drives with MSCDEX, since you would run out of
drive letters and the second iteration of MSCDEX would error out on 'not enough
drive letters'.  If you need to run more than one, you will have to run OPTISYS
drivers.  These drivers use so much memory that you will need to use a network
and dedicate a 286 or something to controlling the drives.  Incidentally,
OPTISYS drivers, which work fine on the DRM-6XX series are buggy on the
DRM-18XX drives.  They're working on them.

-> 3)  How much additional memory is needed to *power* the sound card?

I don't use *any* additional drivers - maybe a few bytes for a set statement.
If you are using the drive in a standard manner, it won't use any more memory
than a standard CD would.

-> 4)  Is there a sound card that will also control other SCSI devices?

There are several, but I have yet to try one that wasn't a waste.  None of them
(that I know of) are SCSI II, and the best one that I tried would NOT control a
hard drive - I suppose you COULD hang a ribbon cable out the back and get one
to work with the Pioneer IF it supplied termination power.  My thinking is,
that if you are going to spend the extra money for SCSI, get a balls to the
wall SCSI controller - don't try to dig a moat with a teaspoon.

-> 5)  Is MSCDEX.EXE (dated 09/30/93) the latest/best version?

Here I can't answer for sure, but the MSCDEX out of any DOS 6.2 pack should be
fine.  A few months ago I noticed that the Microsoft BBS had MSCDEX online for
downloading.  One might presume that they keep it updated...

-> 6)  Any suggestions as to the best place to purchase this setup?

HA! Here's why I am spending so much time with you!  I sell them - we have them
IN STOCK for $2250, plus $85 for an 8-bit Trantor SCSI controller or $135 for a
16-bit Future Domain. The SCSI cable is $24. Shipping runs $40 or so FEDEX COD.
 You might be able to find them advertised (maybe even in this echo) for
slightly less... but ask them if they have them in stock... These are so hard
to get most vendors can't even promise you a delivery date.  We are a stocking
vendor, which means that if you order it today, you'll have it tomorrow or the
day after.

-> Any help with any other these questions would sure be appreciated.

Well, you are obviously going to have to combine some functions in your system
if you want to have a sound card.  I strongly suggest that the SCSI controller
is NOT the place to do this.  I don't know what all you have in your system -
or what your primary use is, so you'll have to make that call.  For sure
combine your IDE/Serial/Parallel.  This is now available with Video for VESA
systems.  If you have some internal modems, consider upgrading to externals
when you go to VFast.

Hi!  This is The KCMOSHer, sometimes called (on Prodigy, anyway) the
semi-official 7th Guest Minister of Propaganda.  This is concerning the
upcoming sequel to The 7th Guest, The 11th Hour.  I'll start by stating I'm
not an employee of anyone in the industry, just so no one thinks this message
has any ulterior motives.

For those of you who follow the world of The 7th Guest, you may have heard
that The 11th Hour (due June 30th) was going to be more "adult" in content,
featuring a more mature storyline, more violence/gore, foul language, and
maybe (this would be a first) nudity.  (Video nudity, not "drawn")  While
nudity was, as recently as April, still up in the air with the creators, the
other elements, and that this was to be an "R" rated game (much like Gabriel
Knight, Bloodnet, or the Larry series) were a given.  It's now known that they
are going to release a "PG" version for the PC and MAC, and the "R" rated
version to the 3DO system.  This, of course, raised my ire quite a bit.  I'm
99% sure that this does NOT come from the creators, Trilobyte, but the
distributor, Virgin.  Possibly due to pressure from some official source, such
as Janet Reno's censorship forces.

The point.  I've started an electronic petition, of sorts, on the Prodigy
"CD-ROM Gaming" board, and I'm now attempting to gather support in other
venues as well.  If you love The 7th Guest, and want the REAL, FULL version of
The 11th Hour, or at least the OPTION of buying it for the PC or MAC, join my
petition!  Here's all I require: write me e-mail via the internet at
[e-mail], and state that you want to join the petition.  Some sort
of electronic address (such as an Internet address, or an address at any
online service such as P*, AOL, CSERVE, etc.) would help, as it would help to
validate the petition in the eyes of Virgin.  I plan on sending copies via
e-mail AND US Post to Virgin AND Trilobyte, to make our wishes clear.  Thanks
for your time, and if you don't have a clue as to what I'm talking about, GO
BUY THE SEVENTH GUEST NOW!!!! :)

I have heard it might not be wise to put your sound card to your amp
because if your card is puttoing out 8 watts, it could be frying your
amp. Which would suck. But check to see if your card shuts off the
output if it detects it is going to an external amp. You know what im
saying? I'm gonna hook up my Infinity RS-10's to my computer which
should really kick ass. Then maybe a kick butt subwoofer. 170 watts RMS.
It would be like your really being shot! See ya

Well, I am not so surprised to be stuck with 7th guest; the game is nice and
difficult. This is exactly what I expected when I ordred it but I am facing one
very nasty puzzle .... I try for 4 days to solve the Bishop's one in the second

Could someone help me ? Even a hint would be appreciated .......

Well scan the Computer Shopper for a better deal, you might be able to
pass some savings on to your customers. I know I have bought some in the

Do you carry CDRom drives as well? I'm interested in the Panasonic 563-B

order to make known to your system that you have a CDROM drive installed.


CDMKE44.SYS             a low level device driver for the interface card
            This devicedriver will detect and identify the CDROM
            drive.

MSCDEX.EXE              MicroSoft CD EXtensions to make DOS able to access the
            CDROM Drive

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     MSCDEX   Version 2.23
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The MSCDEX uses the following command line switches for line:

 Switch                Description
--------              -------------
/D:(device name)       Tells MSCDEX.EXE where to find the device driver.

/E                     Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory if your
               system is using expanded memory.

/L:(drive letter)      MSCDEX.EXE starts at the drive letter specified by
               this switch.

/K                     Tells MSCDEX.EXE to use any Kanji (Japanese) file
               structures, if present, rather than the default of
               standard alphanumeric file structures.

/S                     Instructs MSCDEX.EXE to patch DOS to allow sharing
               of CD-ROM drives on MS-NET based network servers.

/M:(value)             Tells MSCDEX.EXE how much memory to allocate for
               caching information on the CD-ROM.

/V                     Provides memory usage statistics, such as how much
               memory is used by buffers, resident data, resident
               code.


Example:
          MSCDEX.EXE /D: /M:4 /L:E

      where:  /D:LASERWAV    identifies the drive name as LASERWAV.
          /M:4           Memory caching is set for 8 kilobytes.
          /L:E           the CD-ROM drive letter is E.

          When these modifications are completed, it will be necessary
          to reboot your system (by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). This will
          reconfigure your system based on the modified AUTOEXEC.BAT
          and CONFIG.SYS files.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instalation procedure
---------------------

a)      Turn your computer on
b)      Insert the diskette in drive B: (ie: if your source drive is B)
c)      Type    B:
d)      Type    INSTALL


The batchfile INSTALL.BAT will copy all the files to a subdirectory \CDROMDRV
on the harddisk and modifies the config.sys and autoexec.bat files

In addition to copy all the system files for the CD-ROM drive, the INSTALL.BAT
also copy the files for the CDCACHE to a subdirectory \CDROMDRV\OPTI-CD.
Details of the OPTI-CD can be found in the READ.ME files
of the \CDROMDRV\OPTI-CD subdirectory.

After the installation has been completed, please reset computer for the
new drivers to take effect.



--------------------------------------------------------
Below a sample of what should be in the config.sys file
--------------------------------------------------------

lastdrive=z
device=c:\cdromdrv\cdmke44.sys /d:LASERWAV /N:1

/d:LASERWAV     specifies the device name. This is default set to "LASERWAV"
        Any name can be chosen as long as you choose the same in the
        autoexec.bat file discussed later.

/N:(number)     Number of drives.
        If connected Drive is one, by setting of /N:1, the time of
        Device Driver installation is ocasionally shortened in
        comparision with no setting of /N: switch ( or /N:4).
        Number to be set in 4 kinds (1,2,3,4). If setting number
        is smaller than the number of connected and the others
        (remained drives) cannot be connected.
        If /n: switch is omitted, it shall become same as setting 4 as
        maximum number of connectable Drives.
        Example : For number of 4 drives; /N:4 or /N: or /N
              For number of 1 drive ; /N:1




----------------------------------------------------------
Below a sample of what should be in the autoexec.bat file
----------------------------------------------------------

c:\cdromdrv\mscdex /d:LASERWAV /M:8 /V /E

/D:LASERWAV     specifies the device name. This is default set to "LASERWAV"
        Any name can be chosen as long as you choose the same in the
        config.sys file as discussed earlier.

/M:8            specifies the number of buffers. default is 8 buffers

/L:x            forces the cd-drive letter to drive x
        if omitted, the first available drive will be selected
        i.e. in a configuration of drive A,B and harddisk C: the
        cdrom drive will be D:

/E              Tell MSCDEX.EXE to use expanded memory if your system is using
        expanded memory.


=================================
Additional information
=================================

If the CD-ROM drive is connected to a Sound Blaster Card, please modify the
Config.sys to as follow:


DEVICE = C:\CDROMDRV\CDMKE44.SYS /D:LASERWAV /SBP:220 /N:1

/P:(Address) or    This is I/O port address of interface board.
/SBP:(Address)     At the usage of MKE CD ROM Drive interface board, /P:switch
           is applied and at the usage of Creative S/B Pro 2 interface,
           /SBP:switch is applied.  Only either /P: or /SBP: is available
           for switch setting.

           If /P (or /SBP):(Address) is set, the base port address to be

           cannot be searched.  The only one base port address can be appointed
           by (address). Thus, the setting cannot be made at more than
           one base port address.

           If /P (and /SBP):switch is omitted, MKE CD ROM drive interface
           board shall become 300H, 310H, 320H, 330H, and 340H

           Ex: at base port 300H, /P:300 or /P: or /P
               at base port 200H, /SBP:220 or /SBP: or /SBP

/N:(number)        Optional, please refer to the above for details.

Actually I bought mine from the PX with the 16Bit Sound FX card. I got
the kit because my son Eric wanted my ol sound blaster pro deluxe.

I am still interested in putting 4 to 8 of those on my bbs, but nobody
has made me an offer I could'nt refuse yet. Also considering the
Pioneers 6PAK and 18PAK, once again nobody has made me an offer I
could'nt refuse :-))

I'm real concerned on the 18PAK though. Thats alot of money to throw
down on something as vast as 18CDROMs. If I junk all my ol sony CDROMs
and put it online and it breaks... I'm thru, so it may not be a very
wise decission. Thats why I need some backup in the way of the
Panasonics. If one goes down I'll still have the other three. And for
the costs I could order another immediately.

Once again thanks for your help

Best Wishes

Ben

I don't recall doing anything special. I put a page in after returning
from each age. Are you sure you got a page from each of the four ages?
If you are on the last message from either of the books, you will be
told by Sirrus or Achenar that you need to get only one more page (red
or blue respectively). They will give you the pattern number to solve
the fireplace puzzle. They will tell you that you will also find a green
book but to not touch the book but only bring back the red or blue page.
Sound familiar? If not, then maybe you didn't get all the pages. If you
want me to give you the correct pattern number let me know.

Not positive, but as far as I know, on the externals, the light is green when

DC>media, and a WORM drive is over the budget.

Unsure on the true "floptical" drives (the ones that will take either a FLOPPY
or an OPTICAL cartrage) ... as far as I know, those pretty much vanished...
But MO (Magneto-Optical) drives are fantastic!  Grab a Computer Shopper and
look at the MO drives that Insight (Hard Drives International) is selling ...
128 and 256 meg optical-cartrage drives... (maybe larger by now, not sure...)
I use an "Ocean 128" MO drive at work occasionally, and it's great for
storage, backup, or even constant use... MO drives are now as useful as Hard
Drives, with the exception that they're still lagging about 10-40 ms behind...
(access times for a medium-quality MO seem to be about 22-60ms...)... Another
big advantage is - on a network - you can set it up as \\MOE\\ and then you
just have to add \\LARRY\\ and \\CURLEY\\ and you'll be ready for some real
fun!!!

;-)

The big advantage, though, you're right, is that the "optical" media is much
more reliable... BUT -- I am wary of one thing... while your data SHOULD be
safe in case the drive ever "" crashes "" there is always the remote
possibilty that the drive will go BEZERK when it goes, and manage to erase
your data anyway... haven't heard of any research being done on this, so not
sure what precautions have been taken... But in general, MO drives are one of
the best ways to store things, and prices are dropping FAST!!!

instead of 2 day... (same price, of course...) Obviously, I didn't mind. ;-)

Thanks for the great service!  I hope to be ordering lots of neat new stuff
soon!

 Hi Bevis...don't know if I can offer much help. Here's what I did and never
 had a problem.  Left lever go up (it stays up), and I hold the right one up
 (the only one that matters) for 2-2.5 seconds.  That should be long enough for
 the tower to rotate or slip to each quater turn.  Pull down the left lever
 and take a look.

 I have never practiced with the simulator, but have tried my little theory
 on it and it does turn just enough.  I can't offer much more than that other
 than if it doesn't work, try 3-3.5 seconds.  Hope you get out, Rich

Ha anybody figured out the CORRECT dir sequence for nightowl-12 ?
Using genfbase in Remote Access after configging the dir list
provided on the CD-ROM some areas don't exist (BBS-Software) and
I used the print catalog of areas off the CD itsself...

or am I wrong?

Well Phil, I need some help. I've given the brothers 4 pages each, I've
received the fathers message about bringing the page to him in Dunny. I believe
the page he wants is in the marker switch vault on the Island of Myst. I have
turned off the switches, but can't find any vault.  Just give me a little hint.
Am I on the right track with this vault business?  If so, please give me an
area to look in.


          Thanks

Thanks for the hint again.  I knew I was near the end.  You're right, the
ending was pretty tame compared to the rest of the game.  It seems that a lot
of designers run out of steam and ideas when they get to the end.  It's almost
as if they say "let's get this over with", "we have worked on it long enough".

Anyhow, I have enjoyed most of the puzzles and did not need too much help, and
at least they hinted that a sequel will be coming!!!

Thanks for the hint.  I finished the game.  If I tell you how to find the third
book, the game will be pretty much over for you.  Once you find all four pages,
for each of the brothers, they will tell you how to find the last page they
need.  When you have followed their instructions, which are very clear, you
will find the third book.

I think that all the CDs he was listing are part of that new 5'10 pack that
sells for about $40US, that's why he could afford to sell them individually
for that amount.  I've seen the same 10 CD package in computer stores here
in Canada for $59.  The discs are all 2 or 3 year old discs.  The thing that
caught my eye is that he listed King's Quest 5 and King's Quest 6 as CDs
that he was selling for $4.75, but only King's Quest 5 is part of the pack,
not KQ6.

It says that at the opening screen of 7th Guest at the ouija board you should
type in "ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX" and you should hear "Groovy,Groovy,Groovy".  Then
click on any corner of the ouija board and you will see thumbnail size pictures
of every room in the house.  Click on any one of them and you will
automatically be transported there.

Would someone please write back and tell me if this code works. I haven't tried
it yet because my teacher is borrowing my CD's.

I think it's an excellent game.  I'm playing it now.  I bought the game
for $19.00, too.  It's an OEM version (comes just in the jewel case
with a miniature manual), if you didn't know.

Hello.  Just put the battery into the orb and it will work again.
Also, do you have the bra box from Pugney's farm?  If so, fill the
flask and\or the thermos with water, and go to the incinerator.  Open
the large door to the incinerator and throw the bra ox into it.  Then
close the large door and open the drawer.  Inside you will see a hot
wire from the bras.  Pour the water on the wire, and then take it.
Pick the lock to the general store.
     Hope this helps.

Hello Martin!

Game arrived intact Thursday.  That had to be the best wrapped package I've
ever seen. You must be a joy at Christmas time. heheheehe  Even the post office
couldn't mess it up.  Also, thanks for the game codes/hint book.  Only thing
missing was the promised solution to the Etereal Void in Ultima Underworld 2.
Again thank you much.

PH:>What would be the extra cost for postage( $US) to send 2 or 3 CDs to
PH:>New Zealand . For those not in the know, New Zealand is near but definitely
PH:>part of Australia)

Yes, we ship there all the time.  Insured Air would be $14 for up to 3
CD's, or non-insured air would be $9.

It is a shareware CD with several thousand educational titles, ranging from

 millions of updated and brand new listings, making it one of the most
 current directories available.  Every white page directory in the U.S.

 company long-distance only to find out later they had an 800 number?  End
 your frustrations with this directory.  Search by name, address, phone
 number, business headings, or SIC codes.  Includes FREE upgrade to next
 version!  1 CD

 PROPHONE BUSINESS * 1993 release.  Inexpensive business directory on CD

 PHONEDISC USA RESIDENTIAL * 1994 release.  The nation's white pages on
 CD-ROM!  Over 81-million total listings, with millions of updates from the

 At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
 advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK.  There are many CD-ROM
 distributors advertising "1000's of CD's", when in fact they only keep a
 small percentage of that quantity on hand.  This creates delays and
 frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to
 "stock what we sell".  Like all businesses, items will occasionally sell
 out, but our in-stock rate currently is around 96%, and we're striving to
 improve on that.  Call us!  485+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

Hi Brice,

BF> "New Basics Electronic Cookbook" has gotten generally good reviews from tho

Made a note about that one.  Not that it matters this week because I'm
not doing much cooking.

Found an interesting CD called Home Design with 3D video clips and slide
shows of furniture.  The drawing program isn't as detailed as a real CAD
program but I like the colored drag and drop furniture.

There is a Travel Planner (even has a video clip of Calgary) and
Astronomer program from the same company on CD.

     Recently people have made mention of those dealers who advertise
"thousands of cd-rom's available..."  We, being one of said dealers,
would like to make mention that at any given time we have over 500, and
very often over 600, titles in stock.  Our "Distribution Brokerage"
concept is designed to offer the greatest selection of titles from the
largest pool of publishers, distributors and dealers, at the most
economical price.

     The titles that we do not stock are available to us from our
distributors within 24 hours via Federal Express.  This being the case,
nearly any title that a person would like to have from our vast
selection can be had in a timely fashion.  This type of service is not
only expected by the consumer, but is also plain and simple good
business.

     We look forward to serving you in the future and thank all of our
customers.

It works better with a 2x cd-rom but I've seen it on a 1x Mitsumi and it was
acceptable.

It does run under Windows. When you play the "Scissors and Stones" game and win
a round you get one out of 4 women doing a strip-tease. The sounds are
appropriate music to the dancing.

I might consider Rebel Assault. I already have Myst.

TTYL...Mike.

I have a rather interesting problem. I just purchased an NEC Intersect CDROM
drive,model CDR-25J. It is actually made by Mediavision (i.e. ProAudio
spectrum manufacturer..model CDR-MV2) all nec did was put their name on it,
Anyway, I also have an ultrastor 14-f SCSI controller (ISA) with an external
SCSI-2 port (high density DB50). After trying everything from reconfiguring
the controller and the system to physically changing the slot the 14F is in
I cannot get the controller to recognize the cdrom. I continually get an error
#94 (the complete error returned by the controller is 94 00-00 00) indicating
an ' invalid SCSI phase change '. I have even tried an internal to external
cable and it didn't help matters any.

The hardware configuration is as follows:

                 386/40 (new bios installed 2 weeks ago)
                 Ultrastor 14F in BUS Mastering Mode (isa didn't work either)
                   SCSI ID 0 = CDC 150 Harddrive (LUN 0)
                   SCSI ID 1 = EMPTY
                   SCSI ID 2 = CDROM (LUN 0)
                   SCSI ID 3 thru 6 = EMPTY
                   SCSI ID 7 = HOST ADAPTER (LUN 0)

    BIOS ADDRESS = CC00  DMA CHANNEL = 5 INTERRUPT = 11 PORT ADDRESS = 330H

I've had this cd now for three weeks and have yet to use it. I thought about
the possibility of it being a bad drive so I exchanged it with no luck. I
also tried 4 separate cables as this is an external unit. Any help would be
extremely appreciated. Please respond via mail or call me voice at
[phone] or if you are long distance you can page me at [phone]
,though you must still dial a '1' but it will only take a few seconds,and I
can call you back on my dime. Thanks you very much for your time.

 David Hollyfield

Thanks for the help.  SOmehow, I figured out the puzzle without
figuring out the pattern.  Not too difficult once I went through it
systematically.  Saw the ending, but not sure I understand it.  The
game player (narrator...) turns out to be the boy, but still doesn't
explain about the disease or any of the other things.  I'd appreciate
any insight.

I have a rather interesting problem. I just purchased an NEC Intersect CDROM
drive,model CDR-25J. It is actually made by Mediavision (i.e. ProAudio
spectrum manufacturer..model CDR-MV2) all nec did was put their name on it,
Anyway, I also have an ultrastor 14-f SCSI controller (ISA) with an external
SCSI-2 port (high density DB50). After trying everything from reconfiguring
the controller and the system to physically changing the slot the 14F is in
I cannot get the controller to recognize the cdrom. I continually get an error
#94 (the complete error returned by the controller is 94 00-00 00) indicating
an ' invalid SCSI phase change '. The hardware configuration is as follows:

                 386/40 (new bios installed 2 weeks ago)
                 Ultrastor 14F in BUS Mastering Mode (isa didn't work either)
                   SCSI ID 0 = CDC 150 Harddrive (LUN 0)
                   SCSI ID 1 = EMPTY
                   SCSI ID 2 = CDROM (LUN 0)
                   SCSI ID 3 thru 6 = EMPTY
                   SCSI ID 7 = HOST ADAPTER (LUN 0)

    BIOS ADDRESS = CC00  DMA CHANNEL = 5 INTERRUPT = 11 PORT ADDRESS = 330H

I've had this cd now for three weeks and have yet to use it. I thought about
the possibility of it being a bad drive so I exchanged it with no luck. I
also tried 4 separate cables as this is an external unit. Any help would be
extremely appreciated. Please respond via mail or call me voice at
[phone] or if you are long distance you can page me at [phone]
,though you must still dial a '1' but it will only take a few seconds,and I
can call you back on my dime. Thanks you very much for your time.

This simply is not true! I too was looking for *.mid files and contacted a
dealer through this echo. He stated whwt you are stating, tha "Encyclopedia of
Sound" contains *.mid files. IT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY MIDI FILES!!!!! It only
has *.wav and *.voc files The dealer would not accept a return since the
package as sent to me was already opened ( and most likely used!). You are
guilty of fraud if you continue to misrepresent Encyclopedia of Sound!

I was wondering if someone with an encyclopedia newer than 1992 could
look up Mike Tyson, the ex-boxing champ, and see what their encyclopedia
says about him.

I have the Software Toolsworks Grolier 1992 MPC encyclopedia and it has
NO article on him at all.  In fact NOTHING about boxing has been updated
since "1990", that I can find.

Now I'm also curious when the encyclopedias say "New updated version",
what is actually updated ?  From the looks of it, nothing but the
opening intro sequences and more pictures.  When something comes out
with a new version and says updated, I expect EVERYTHING to be updated.
I don't expect to find outdated 2-3 year old info.

Thanks a lot for your help.  I'd been turning it for about 4 seconds, because
that worked on the simulator.  Maybe they're just a little different to screw

Couldn't help noticing your predicament.  I haven't actually passed the game,
but I think you may not have put all the pages in the book at once.  Pages from
different worlds don't actually do different things, you just need one more to
get the message.  You may have already realized this, though.  If you only have
just one or two pages in there, my advice is to just find out the page number
for the fireplace.  However, make sure you put some kind of notice above it so
that people who haven't gotten there yet don't find out.

Hi there.  I haven't gotten as far as you have, but I still know where the
green page is.  You need to turn all the marker switches on the island to the
on position, then go to the dock and turn the one there to the off position.  A
vault will open and there's your page!

Sorry to butt in.  The page is screwed up.  You need to turn all the marker

to the on postion. The vault will appear.

 RT> I have purchased an Adaptec AHA-1510A SCSI host adapter and a Plextor

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I had a similiar
problem when I added a Mitsumi CD to my system.  The problem was my
power supply. Before the CD, I had an internal modem, a network
adapter, video, IDE I/O, SBPro and a SCSI card on the bus.  Also
attached were a hard drive, both floppies, a 90M Insider Bernoulli and
my monitor plugged into the power supply.  When I added the CD (w/
it's own interface), it would work for about ten minutes, then stop
working.  I got it working when I yanked a few cards, the Bernoulli
and monitor.  Now I'm using two power supplies on my system (not a
recommended course of action!) until I can get a 300W supply. My old
one was a 230W.

Try attaching as few devices as possible (one floppy, the HD, video
and of course, the CD)  and see if it works.  Be sure to remove the
power cables from the other devices.

Good luck....

 CB> WHAT??!! A version of DOOM on CD?!?! AWESOME!! Tell me about it!!

 Here are the facts I know about it:

 1. It illegal. ID has not given the rights of DOOM to ANYONE to put and
    distribute on CD.

 2. The only version I know of only has the first episode, and it only just
    like the disk version...

 JA> How do you get to the stoneship age?  I have the dates,

 Ok..... Here we go.... I'll include the whole thing just in case...

 Go to the time machine room and get in. Enter any of the dates and watch
 the box where the stars are. Jot down the star positions and look in the
 book in the library. Try to match the constations with one of the pictures,
 and then look at the picture below it. Copy that picture, then go outside,
 and look at each of the pillars going down the path toward the clockhouse.
 Once you see a picture that matches one you have, click on it to turn it
 GREEN. After you have done this, look in the fountain at the ship. It should
 be raised. If it is not raised, go back and recheck your work. If it is
 raised, then go to the large ship over by the gears. Go into the ships
 cabin, and use the book. That sould take you to the Stoneship Age.

 The object in EVERY age is to pick up a red or blue page, and then return it
 to the books. That will reveal more and more of the plot.

Joe. I use a little program called  LIGHTNING cd. and it improves my
throughput by about 50% (although they claim it could be 1000%.. )...

with cdspeed v1.0 (that's all i got) i get a throughput of 457k on a
double speed. I ran it 5 times to make sure it's not a fluke.. and it
was always the same +/- 10k..

NO, IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION the 3X'S are NOT worth the cost!

the 3XI AND THE 3XP (by computer shoppers tests) were OUTPERFORMED by
the REVEAL (a.k.a. mistumi, matsushita, panasonic, omni cd, and
beethoven) double speeds. considering that the 3x's are ~400.00 and
those 2x's are LESS than ~200.00 ..

also.. WHY SCSI? .. scsi is more expensive (card wise) and there is no
major performance gain from that of an AT-IDE..
also information that you may want to know is that pioneer is coming out
with an 8X that is based on AT-IDE and NOT! scsi..

Hummm, I had problems making the thing move where I wanted it to.  The only

I've got the 604X for $999 - You won't have any problems if you use my $135
16Bit SCSI controller and $24 cable.  In fact, you just add a line to your
config.sys and one to your autoexec.bat and you are on the road!

You can have it TOMORROW by calling InfoQuest at 618-549-3414.  FEDEX COD
shipping will run you $40 or so.

     Most Blockbusters in the country (read: those in higher income areas) will
be renting CD ROMs within a year.  Of course, the local Blockbuster people
didn't even know what I was talking about.

     In any case, my local supermarket video department rents CD ROMS.  It IS
legal.  I don't think manufacturers are going to be too upset about it.  It
gives customers a chance to evaluate software without risking a whole bunch of
cash.  In any case, unlike videos, CD ROMS have a longer usage period than the
day or two the average video outfit offers.  The user gets a taste, but can't
possibly consume the entire dish.  This is IDEAL for the manufacturers.  Unless
they offer substandard product.

     It doesn't run off the CD ROM, to the best of my knowledge.  As far as I

Yes, you are NOT alone.  When I'm looking for CD advertisements I
go to  ...."CDROM_SALE".... like it SHOULD be.  It would be nice to
have an echo where we can get 'Information and Help' and NOT have
to filter through hundreds of advertisements to get it.

I woul, have, opted with the 4 units vice the one.  Your point of having all
your eggs in one basket is very good... Also, there is the question of
multi-node systems... I have a friend who has a six-pack on line.. It's great
unless three or more of his five nodes tries to download at once.  Things slow
down then.... and the user who is last in line has to wait for all the other's
download request gets copied onto the systems hard drive before his/her request
is processed...

 It was in the mail on May 10th. You have to understand that it

 respond back to me with your address and I'll send you one out.

Piece of cake to hook up - depending on your SCSI controller, of course. I use
2 of these machines with an Adaptec 2742.  As long as you have an ASPI driver
for your SCSI controller, the supplied Pioneer software works fine.  They are
lightening fast.  Takes them about 5 seconds or so to switch disks and the
transfers after that are breathtaking.  I "abuse" them by using them as BBS
drives on my multinode system.  They are so quick (in combination with the
EZROM door I use for CD access) that no one is ever aware that the files aren't
loaded on the harddrive itself (they are copied prior to transfer).  Anyway,
for what it's worth, I've had one of them for about 5 months and the other a
couple of weeks - no problems whatsoever.  I bought my last one from Doug
Carpenter - except for hefty delay in expected shipment time (took about 5
weeks from order time to get here and expected 2 - 3 based upon what I was
told), he was very good.  I'm overseas and he called me back on his dime to let
me know what my order status was.  I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again -
but I WOULD try to get a more realistic ship date <g>.  Just leave a message to
him in this conf and I'm sure he'll respond.

 LB> Hope some of you can help.

Hope I have,



David

Instead of this old, robot announcement for every disk, why not just cut to the
chase and let folks know exactly what they can find on this disk?  Empty boasts

Hello All!

I have 3 of the single speed IDE CD-ROMs.  I'd like to put them all in the same
machine.  I've mapped out the IRQ's and stuff. the question is with the
Software.  In the Config.sys it looks like I have to load the Driver for each
CD-Rom, due to the memery addresses and IRQ's  but do I have to load 3 copies
of MCDEX.exe.   Are there particualar switches for that?
Thanks in advance.

Are there any good MAC shareware disks out there? The only one I have heard
mentioned is the Otherware disk with only 300meg of files. Has anyone purchased
this disk and is it worth the $22 that is being asked for it? Thanks for any
info. Rich

Has anyone heard of a CD ROM drive not reading a disk, and if the disk is
ejected and re-inserted everything works fine?  My Sony CD ROM drive has been
doing that lately with a few of my Multimedia programs.  Also, I have been
wanting to play the audio from the CD ROM through the SB, but it must be
plugged into the headphones jack on the CD ROM drive.  Any ideas on that?
Thanks for the help.

Well, I have pretty much completed Myst.  I think.  I figured out Channelwood,
(it was pretty simple) and the other ages.  Got the pages, put in the fireplace
pattern, and went to Denny.  Is that it?  Lackluster ending if it is.  It was a
satisfying game though.  I liked it a lot.

Well, would you like me to tell you?  I just found out and completed the game.
I don't want to just hand you the answer, so here's a clue:  It's in the pages.
 Someone will tell you what it is, you won't "see" it like the other solves.
Does that help you? Probably not.  But I didn't want to ruin it for you.  Good
luck...

Finished MYST this morning and somehow have to conclude that one of my save
games was corrupted. This time I played straight through collecting only blue
pages, then got all the red ones in a separate game.  In the rocket ship, set
the left lever 8 notes up, the next 20 up, the next 23 up, the next 13 up and
the one on the right 6 up. Then simply pull the lever and the notes will play
and if they match the piano ones you will gain access to the Selentic world.
This is very tricky and advise you make a save once activated.

You have to keep in mind that the age of marriage has been increasing
steadily, so I would suspect increasing numbers of married teenagers in
the past.  Also, these statistics show rates of first birth, which is
far different from pregnancy rates, because of abortion!

So I would question those numbers.

Smart choice.  Psychology has shown that behavioral therapies have had
some success (in children).  Personally, in treating people, except for
obvious biological-based problems, I would use drugs as a last resort.

Jeff,
Thanks, but do you have a suggestion for what I should do to get my 50pin down
to 25?  Should I just leave out the odd # pins from the dual row header
connector and use the grounds from the even # pins if I do that does it matter
which grounds go to the 1,6,8,13,19 and 25 pins on the DB25?

Robert
