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! 500+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at great prices.

First, and if you can afford it, Buy a DBLSPEED Cd-Rom pack! However, that is most expensive! Second, Buy a new SoundCard, and sell the old one. All you really have to do is make sure the new soundcard has a Mitsumi interface. All, in all, you shoulkd have to spend too much on this option! Third, sell the Cdrom drive and buy a new one for the interface on your card! However this can get a bit tricky, and you cant be expecting to get a good deal when selling your single speed! Last, and I dont n\know if this is feasable, is that you could see if a mitsumni interface can be connected to the Soundblaster Pro that you have! If I were you,k then I would definitely choose either op[tion one, or option two!!!! Good luck at any rate. Regards!

I'd have to say "I don't know" to the first question, but the second statement is incorrect. If you run a program from your CD-ROM drive and that program makes noise via the Sound Blaster card, then it will use your installed Sound Blaster, regardless of whether or not the Sound Blaster is also the CD-ROM interface. Now, on the audio bypass deal, that's a tougher question. Obviously, if your CD-ROM drive supports an audio cable, you can connect it to your Sound Blaster (I suspect that most drives do, as I've not seen one that didn't). You *definitely* won't be able to use the Audio CD control tools that are designed to work with Sound Blaster cards. Whether that means you couldn't use another tool designed to work with your drive and still get sound through your SB-connected speakers...? THAT's what I don't know. They may be right. This might not work. -> Should I wait until I can, or can I put a $150 doublespin in here -> and get the CD-ROM advantages now and upgrade my sound card later? I was able to find the Edutainment 16 multimedia kit (SB16 and Panasonic 563 2X drive) for $370. I made a deal with the reseller where they kept the speakers and bundled CD-ROMs, and I took the drive and card for less than $300. You might try and arrange a similar deal, if you purchase from a local retailer. Note: I already had an SB Pro and Panasonic 1X CD-ROM drive, and I replaced these with the new SB16 and 2X drive. The difference is dramatic. The CD-ROM is much "zippier" and the sound quality is much better. I am pleased and impressed. So I guess I'm suggesting that you hold out until you can do it right. -- Mark * RM 1.3 01398 * --- WM v2.09/92-0311 * Origin: Silicon Beach BBS 305-474-6512 (1:369/68) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MICHAEL KONOR Number: 7071 To: ALL Date: 06/12/94 11:38a Subj: CHEAP SCSI CDROM Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Internal Toshiba XM-3201B CDROM Drive Reconditioned Includes Caddy and Manual. 325ms access, 156k transfer rate. 30 day warranty.

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No What would probably be advisable is to figure out what type of card you want when you get a new monitor. Then compare the price to that of the card you are thinking of buying now (also weigh in the time of when you are thinking of getting a new monitor). Most of the time you can use the top of the line VGA card with your monitor. It won't do the Card justice but then you only have to upgrade one component rather than two. If you are weighting for a while check out second hand echo's (buy and sell). You can usually pick up good ones for the 30-50 dollar range. Also Windows performance can be increased by buying more RAm then just getting a New VGA card. STEVE P.S.

Not exactly the right place but, with the moderator's kind permission (thanks, Tim) I'll give you a short reply. You might also try to find a board in your area that carries MIDI-NET, an echo devoted to exactly this type of question. MidiSoft Studio won't help you - it's a Windows application. Look for a product in your local music store called "Sequencer Plus, Junior" (1992, Voyetra Technologies) with a list price of about $80, street price of around $50. It's an excellent, full-featured DOS sequencer that is bundled with many sound cards, including the SoundBlaster series. "Seq+ Jr" comes in two flavors - if you have a true MIDI device (it need not be G/M compatible) then you DO NOT WANT the SB version of this program. "Seq+ Jr" is the entry level version of Voyetra's "Sequencer Plus Gold, version 4", which is currently vying for top honors with Cakewalk 4.0e for the most popular DOS sequencer programs. The Voyetra program (my choice) is a high-end, professional package with every imaginable feature; Cakewalk is admittedly easier to use. It's a matter of personal taste. Incidentally, none of the DOS sequencer programs are currently available on CD-ROMs. And don't waste your time with shareware DOS sequencers. I haven't found a decent one yet. - Arnie :+} --- GoldED 2.42.G0214 * Origin: The Magnificent MIDI Machine (1:141/950.1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: ANDREW TAVENOR Number: 7089 To: FERNANDO SILOTTO Date: 06/03/94 3:09a Subj: Re: About Mitsumi CD-ROMs Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No -=> Quoting Fernando Silotto to All <=- FS> I have a Mitsumi Cd-rom drive Single Speed and I have a sound FS> blaster PRO but dont work with CD-ROM drive .What can I do ???

From your description, I suggest: Buy a Matsushita CR-562-B drive w/ interface board. Upgrade the sound board when you can. You will pay more this way than if you bought a kit and you won't get any neato discs to start off with, but you CAN join the CD-ROM world. The drive works fine, sound plays w/ the SB same as before, and if you upgrade to a SB board with an interface on it later, you can pull the interface board at that time with a slight change to config.sys. You CAN play audio CD's, although if that is the prime purpose of wanting the drive, a CD walkman will cost about the same and provide better service. ...

Henry, I can reccommend the Hercules Dynamite for ISA bus. I have a 386/33 and got my multimedia kit when I had a BOCA board with 1meg ram. The response was OK but I had numerous problems with the CDs I got, and, with other display problems - font display in Word Perfect for example. BOCA wasn't updating the drivers for my chipset any more. So, I plunged again (after just getting the CD and sound board) for the Hercules Dynamite. It has been a very hassle free board to own. I run at 800x600 res all the time in windows. The DOS games like DOOM and Wolfenstein (with 3d scrolling) all run well - no problems. The speed could be a little faster on the CD video and DOS game scrolling, but I have to think this is the fact that I have a 386, not the fault of the card. I got the 1meg Hercules Dynamite and have been very satisfied these past 5 months. Their drivers support a large number of monitor vendors and brands. I use a generic one on my low-end CTX monitor and like I say - I'm happy.

RH> Sid Just curious: I get my cdrom and cdrom_sale echo from a guy that gets them through his satelite dish (planet connect) system and I see triples and quarduples of the same exact adds from dealers EVERY single day! The only diff is that some are dated the day before like Mon and tuesday etc... In short: most of my mail from these two echos is constant commercial reruns and produce at least half of each days mail run. Have you noticed the same in your area? Take that poor guy Shannon that quoted the whole message ad from every dealer that day and got bombed with angry replies for it, his messages showed up (the same ones) for days here and were two/three times duplicates each day. I don't mind a 10 line limit of commercial ads but every single day, and dups and triples is way out of line. CDROM and CDROM_SALE has gotten real bad. The Gaming echo for cdrom/pc games is the only one of the 3 cdrom style echos (i know of) that stays in its right form.

Playing Audio CD's or special audio-only tracks on a CDROM uses standard CD audio playback methods that your home CD player would use. The audio does not get read from the CD, go into your computer's processor, and sent to the Sound blaster as a digitized audio data like a .WAV file does. A connector usually comes with the CD ROM drive to connect the drive to the sound blaster's analog audio input, where the audio can be sampled or routed to the speakers directly (if you've ever run Window's Mixer program, you will see a channel labeled CD. That controls this input on the card itself). As long as your sound blaster has this input on the card, your'e in business. If you dont, there is still a headphone jack on the front of the CD ROM drive to allow you to listen to Audio CD tracks. I listen to Audio CD's frequently and it works fine. GH>this moment.

I reccommend the Mitsumi FX001D, it's about $120, comes with the interface card, and has the audio cable. You can connect the audio cable to their card and have the audio output we discussed come out of two RCA jacks at the back of the card, or you can connect it to the sound blaster and still use the Mitsumi interface card to connect the CD- ROM data input/output to the computer.

I have the Zork Hint book and all the answers keep on saying that y SH~ have to put on the Dwarvin Miners Helmet. (Where is THAT AT!??) I read the SH~ whole book and didn't see any clue as to where it is. Return To Zork Almost-Full-Point Solution NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you should go back and get. Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds). You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much. Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space down the river, and get off at the bridge. You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right, the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town, where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says "Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the flask off of the ground by his feet. Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar. First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap, and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game. After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture. Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney. Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house, and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz) with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and pick the wire up. Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box. Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now, should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out, to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility". Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on. Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building now. Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision will start deteriorating.

So it is actually only six T T T T T T T paces from the entrance straight south, not TTTTTTTTTTTTTxTTT 12 as it may seem. Ok, so my map-drawing facilities aren't first class. But you get the picture. Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again, irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island. Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door. We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck. Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit, I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number, write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk, who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg. Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's nice to have:)). Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again, and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed. Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken. He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left, and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet, no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith, and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt at mapping it:) TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT @ T T$T TTTTT TTT TTT TTT T T +=Entrance T T T T T T T \=Metallic Tree T TTT TTT T T T TTT T -=Bowman T T T T T T T T %=Grue/Fairy Area T T TTT TTTTTTT * T T &=Tree Spirit T T T T >=Leaf Trap T TTT * TTT TTT TTT T $=Boar Statue T T T T T > T @=Spider Web/Exit T T TTTTT&TTTTTTT T *=The two annoying places that force me to map T T T T T this way(you won't notice anything special TTTTT TTT TTT T TTTTT unless your used to mapping mazes of this type) T T % T T T T TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT T T T T T T T TTT TTT T T T T T T T T - T T T TTT TTT T T TTT T T T T T T T T T T TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs. She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up. Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider, but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze. Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so, you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial), he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued in next message << ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GARY FLETCHER Number: 7156 To: SEAN HEBER Date: 06/04/94 7:35a Subj: RETURN TO ZORK 2/3 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued from previous message << now, and the vulture will bring you there).

Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression. Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you. Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river. The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen, follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection, as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left, Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From left to right, but the following items on each of the statues : 1) Staff 2) Talon 3) Thermozz Center) Nothing 4) Helmet AND Box 5) Shield 6) Tele-Orb Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different, he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets). Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll, swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace. Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3 (!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and it will dispel the illusion. Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you will have to forfeit and will have to start over again. 0 5 12 9 0=Where you start 11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end 6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die C 14 7 2 Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn, he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've won the game! Congratulations. The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very important.

OK....... Return To Zork Almost-Full-Point Solution NOTE : At certain points in the solve I will tell you to use an item, and not tell you to pick it up again, or just mention the existence of an item in a certain room. Make sure you pick EVERYTHING up (with the exception of the things I tell you NOT to pick up:)). Anything that you leave behind, you should go back and get. Hey. Well you're playing Return to Zork, and are stucker than stuck, and need some help. Look no further, here's the solution to the game! I didn't get all the points (only 218/225) but the end is there either way, and here's how to get to it. I also believe there are a few parts of the game that are just unsolveable (ie the oven, and anything relating to hellhounds). You start off in a mountain pass. A quick thing to do is pick up the rock from the lower left hand part of the screen and throw it at the vulture. Then you might be tempted to get the bonding plant from down below. Don't. My recommendation is to wait till later in the game to get the plant. So instead, just mosey down the path to the lighthouse. Enter the lighthouse and babble with the lighthouse keeper. He really doesn't have very much interesting to say at this point, so what you say doesn't matter very much. Next go outside the lighthouse again. Now if you head down the path, you'll be at the road to the south, unsolveable, so instead, go around the back of the lighthouse. From here, cut the vines from the fence, and bind the wood panels together with the vines. Now you have a raft, use it to go one space down the river, and get off at the bridge. You are now in the town of West Shanbar, facing the town-proper. First easy thing to do is go to the building on the far right, it's a destroyed hardware store. Go in, and get the box and the crank. You don't need the mice, so leave them there. Next stop should be the close house on the right, the school house. To get in, bang the bell with the crank or the dagger. The school teacher will first quiz you with the games first copy-protection, and then give you a notebook in which you can record all of your travels in the game. Next stop is the Town Hall, close building on the left, go in, talk to the mayor, and whatever. Then read ALL the files in the cabinets. It's a lot of reading, and you'll be referring back to it later on (and a lot of this solve won't make any sense without reading it). Then after you leave Town Hall, face center of town, and turn around from there, go off to the left of the screen, towards the mill. Go into the mill, and you'll have your first encounter with Boos. First of MANY. Go out the other door into the backyard of his house, and grab the key from the floor, and pull the chock out of the water wheel (I don't actually know what this accomplishes, but it gives you two points, so what the heck:)). Go back through the house, and back to town, where you can now go to the building on the far left. Use the key to unlock the door. Go in, grab the battery off the shelves, and the money and tickets out of the cash register. Then go back to facing the bridge, and on the far right side of the screen, your mouse arrow will point down, go this way. Here you will meet the waif. Give him the tickets, and he will give you a gift, it looks like a piece of lint, but it's very important later in the game. From here, go back the old mill, and do the following. When Boos pours you a drink, pour the drink out into the plant, then make a toast with him (glasses clinking icon) then drink the empty glass. Repeat this four times, and he will pass out, opening up the Great Underground Empire. But wait, you're not done yet. Leave the mill, and re-enter it, and repeat the entire pour/toast/drink process again, but only three times this time, after he says "Damn Few.", click on the "Don't Drink & Drive" icon, and he will give you his car keys. OK, don't get too excited here, you can't drive his car, but you can now enter the GUE. Before you leave this room, also be sure to grab the flask off of the ground by his feet. Go down the passage you just opened, and you will be at a door, open the door with the car keys, and you are now in a new mill! Exit this mill, and you are now within the GUE. Follow the path straight, into East Shanbar. First building to enter is the second one on the left. Go into Moodock's Armoury, and have a chat with him, then play a game of Survivor (he'll explain the rules to you). It's also impossible for you to lose in this incarnation of Survivor (you will play a much harder version later on), so just futz around, and once you win he will give you a sword, and a coin (not a Zorkmid though). Next, out of the building, turn around from the center of town, and face the bridge. Cross the bridge, and go to the left. At the Fool's Memorial, pick up the book off of the floor. From here, proceed down the left path again, and follow it into Snoot's Farm. Enter through the window, as the door is locked. Enter the door second from the left, and in that room will be the lovely Rebecca Snoot, brushing her teeth. She'll knock you out for breaking and entering, however. When you get up, talk to her and she'll quiz you with the second and final copy-protection of the game. Once you're out of that predicament, from the main room, go into the door on the right side of the room, zoom in on the cabinet, and grab the mirror from the desk. Then again, from the main room, go through the center archway, and in the kitchen take the soap off the sink, the thermozz from the table, and open the refridgerator and take the meat out. (The meat will rot, don't worry about it, you want it to rot.) From there, put the soap in the sink, and run the water on it, you will now have soapy water, wash the waif's gift in the soap, and lo and behold, you have a piece of a mysterious disk. Neat. In the kitchen is also an oven that blows up if you turn it on (Why it does this is beyond me) and a box of cereal that you can't pick up. Again, from the main room again, go into the door on the far left. In there is Alexis the poodle/hellhound. Click on her and she will growl at you. Nothing else is necessary from the dog, but her growling is necessary for you to win the game. After you leave the building, on random occasions, Rebecca will come and meet you out on the road. When you do see her, take her picture. Next stop is the carrot silo. From the front of Rebecca's house, go up and to the right, and you will be at the carrot silo. Take the crank, and put it on the silo door, and crank it clockwise. The silo will explode and you should take some of the carrots. From here, again go up and to the right, and you will be at the Pugney farm. Go to the red house first, and DON'T take the box off the ground. Go to the door, and open the window and talk to Pugney. Be Apologetic, and he will let you take the box off the front lawn. Once you finish with him, grab the box, and now go to the blue barn behind the red house. Go inside with the cow, and take a clump of hay from the ground (left bottom corner) pick it up, drop it again, and then take the matches and light the hay on fire. Now warm your hands by the fire, and milk the cow with the thermozz. Then feed the cow the carrots. Next stop, back to Rebecca's house, and go into her kitchen (or bathroom) and fill the flask (not the thermozz) with water. Now go back to East Shanbar and go to the last building on the left. Pull lever 1 and the top of the incinerator will open. Throw the bra box into the incinerator, and pull lever 1 again. Then pull lever 2, and zoom in on the drawer. Pour the water from the flask onto the hot wire, and pick the wire up. Now take that wire, and enter the first building on the left (from the center of town) and use the wire to pick the lock. Shake the cereal box. Shake it again. Take the whistle. Next pick up the rats, and IMMEDIATELY put them into the box you picked up earlier. (The meat you picked up, by now, should have rotted away) Make SURE you put the rats into the box, or you will die a quick death. Next up is go from the center of town, straight out, to the fork in the road, pick the left one first. Pick the tiles up off the floor, and then turn around, and pick the frame up off the floor. Drop the tiles into the frame, and you have a lovely word puzzle. The solution to the puzzle is "Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for", and once you get that far, the last block will fall into place, "invisibility". Now, in the same place, twirl around once more, and pick up the disk piece and the two pieces of illuminyte off the floor. From here, go back to the center of town, and enter the first building on the right (by this point most people will be telling you that you stink). Buy a room from Molly Kettle, and go up to your room in the elevator. Enter the room, and place the illuminyte rocks onto the nightstand. Then zoom in on the monitor, and turn the radio on. Then turn the lights off. You will have a dream about Morpheus, the head bad-guy of the game. Next, get up, turn the lights back on, and take your illuminyte back (make sure to turn the lights on first). Exit this building now. Now for the hard parts. There are now two mazes to deal with. One is rather vicious, and one is just annoying because of what you have to do. The first woods we will discuss is the Whispering Woods, the right fork in the road from the path straight out of town. First things first, however. Go back to the silo, grab more carrots. Go back to the cow, pour your thermozz milk into the flask, and then milk the cow again (it must be done the same way as earlier). Now go to the Whispering Woods. Once you enter, your vision will start deteriorating. Once the comment reads "Can you see the Galactic Milky-Way?", drink ALL the milk you have, it should say that your vision is >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued in next message << ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GARY FLETCHER Number: 7159 To: PAULA COE Date: 06/04/94 7:44a Subj: RE: ZORK HINT NEEDED 1/3 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued from previous message << >>> Continued to next message * SLMR 2.1a * --==**> Real Programmers Practice Safe HEX <**==-- --- TPCB V0.4 * Origin: Prophet BBS, Western Sydney Australia (3:54/54) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GARY FLETCHER Number: 7160 To: PAULA COE Date: 06/04/94 7:44a Subj: RE: ZORK HINT NEEDED 2/3 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >>> Continued from previous message now good enough to break any spell.

Once you get out of the maze, you may have noticed a whispering in the woods (wow what a coincidence) it says "two rings begin, three rings return" (or maybe it's vice-versa, anyway, that irrelevant). You will now be standing at a dock with a bell. Ring it twice (or is it three? Again, irrelevant, just ring it again if the ferryman doesn't come on two). Now the ferryman will arrive with his hand extended. Show him the coin Moodock gave you, and he will ferry you across the river. You are now on Canuk's Island. Go to his house. At the door, you will see a magnet on top of the door. We'll be getting that later:) Once inside, you will see a duck, a ship in a bottle, a scroll, and blueprints. Take the scroll and read it to the duck. Whammo, Canuk will appear. He will tell you some babble about the history of Zork and whatnot. Show him the disk pieces. He will now transport you into the ship in a bottle. Go into the bottle, and wander around. The time limit, I don't think is enforced (if it's really 20 minutes, it's MUCH more than you need). Get onto the ship, and go up the stairs, and you will see a number, write it down. Now go back downstairs, and down the stairs again. Pick up the rag off the cabinet, and zoom in on the safe. Enter the number you just wrote down into the safe, and open it. Now take the disk piece and the rusty metal thing out of it. Once you've done this, take your mirror, and put it in your hand (ie your mouse cursor shows you holding it). Exit the boat. Canuk, who you may have noticed by now, is controlled by Morpheus, will try to turn you into a duck. But since you are holding the mirror, it will reflect back at him. Now take the scroll, and feed it to the duck, he will lay an egg. Take the egg, and exit the house. Now cut the egg open with your knife. And you will have the scroll (I don't think this affects the gameplay, but it's nice to have:)). Next thing off, get back onto the boat (show the ferryman the coin again, and of course ring the bell a few times to get him there) and find your way back out of the forest. Now another quick thing to do is to go into town and show the blacksmith (second building on the right) your rusty old sword. Get him to fix the sword, and pay any fee he requests. He may tell you to come back in a little while, just wander around until it is fixed. Next thing is to go into the other forest, the left fork from the fork in road from the path out of town. Once in, the first thing you should do is the following, go NORTH, EAST, EAST, SOUTH, and you will be at a tree. Hit the tree with your sword, and it'll break the sword (and also drop some coins on the ground) take the coins. Now exit the forest again, via NORTH WEST WEST SOUTH, and go to the blacksmith. Complain to him that your sword is broken. He will mumble something, and give you a receipt for a new sword. Now go to the center of town again, and turn around, to face the bridge, go to the left, and you will be at Ben's boathouse. Talk to Ben. Ask him about the knot he's holding in his hand. Show him the picture of Rebecca if you've taken it buy now, and he will give you a sealed letter (if you don't have the picture yet, no rush, don't worry) and finally, give him the receipt from the blacksmith, and he will give you the True Dwarven Sword of Zork. How nice. Now back to the forest (on the fork left). This a pretty vicious forest and has lots of nasty things in it, and is rather big, as well, here again is another attempt at mapping it:) TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT @ T T$T TTTTT TTT TTT TTT T T +=Entrance T T T T T T T \=Metallic Tree T TTT TTT T T T TTT T -=Bowman T T T T T T T T %=Grue/Fairy Area T T TTT TTTTTTT * T T &=Tree Spirit T T T T >=Leaf Trap T TTT * TTT TTT TTT T $=Boar Statue T T T T T > T @=Spider Web/Exit T T TTTTT&TTTTTTT T *=The two annoying places that force me to map T T T T T this way(you won't notice anything special TTTTT TTT TTT T TTTTT unless your used to mapping mazes of this type) T T % T T T T TTT TTT TTT TTT TTT T T T T T T T TTT TTT T T T T T T T T - T T T TTT TTT T T TTT T T T T T T T T T T TTTTTTTTTTTTT+TTT\TTT The metallic tree has already been explained. To get past the bowman, you must make sure to have some milk in your containers. Just give him the milk and he will go away, and leave his bow and arrows. Take them. Next go to the Grue/Fairy area. It will say "It's dark, just like Grues like it." Light a match (the same way you would use your inventory anywhere else), and the fairy you just rescued will talk to you, be real friendly with her, and she'll give you fairy dust (you might have to talk to her once or twice to get the dust from her). Next stop, the tree spirit. Get her to babble her annoying songs. She really isn't very useful at all. So just get out of there when you get bored. Now the leaf trap. When you see the leaves, drop something in it (not your sword) the trap will be sprung. Now just use your sword to cut your leaves, and whatever you threw in will fall to the ground, just pick it up. Now go to the boar memorial. Strike the memorial thrice (three times) with your sword, and you will get another disk piece. You can go to the spider, but you can't get past it yet anyway, so why bother, get out of this maze. Next stop, get your bootie back to Canuk's House (go through the whispering woods again). Now at his door, look at the magnet. Neat, eh? Pry it off with you sword. Now stand there, holding the magnet. Use magnet with whistle. Blow away on the whistle, and a vulture will come swooping down. Uh oh! Not at all, this vulture will carry you to anywhere that you need to go in the game! So just go to Pugney's Farm first, go to the barn again, (now might not be a bad time to fill up on milk), and go to the left behind the barn. You will be at the Vulture Pits. Pour the fairy dust onto the rotting meat, and throw it. The vultures will come out and eat the meat and fall asleep. Go into the pits and take the talon. Next, run over to the screen one screen in front of Rebecca's house (it has signs to the cliffs and Rebecca's house). Go to the left, and follow that path to the Cliffs of Depression. Take the rope from the railing. Now go back into town, and go back to Ben the boatman. Pay him for the boat. Zoom in on the boat, and take the rats out of the box and put them into the motor. Now you will be at the Witch's house. Go on inside, she won't bite. Ok, be careful what expressions you show to the witch, just be friendly. Then show her the milk that you have and she will let you take the bat cage, do so. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she will give you staff, take it. Then she's outta there. Now you can either go through the swamp, or use the vulture to get out. I recommend going through the swamp, you get 5 points for it. To do so, you must walk one step out of the witch's house. Then take her staff, and place it on the ground in front of you, if it falls in, it is not safe to walk there, if it stands on it, you can proceed. I can't map that, as the swamp is different for each person, and possibly each time. Just get out, its usually not more than 7 or 8 steps. Once out of the swamp, first stop is going to be west shanbar, that's on the above ground level of the map. Go first to the mayor, and show him the Zorkian book (you got it from the Fool's Memorial), he will translate a joke for you. Now go to Ms. Peepers (the schoolhouse) and show her the book, she will tell you that Rebecca can translate it. Next stop is back down below. Wander around until Rebecca shows up, and play her the quote from Ms. Peepers about her being able to translate it, then show her the book. Next off, go back to Witch Ita, and show her the book (if she's not there, just wander around until she shows up again), and she will translate one more joke. Then go to the blacksmith, and pay his fee, and he will translate the last joke. Now go back to the Valley of the Vultures (Mountain Pass, where you start the game) (remember just click anywhere on the map >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued in next message << ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GARY FLETCHER Number: 7161 To: PAULA COE Date: 06/04/94 7:44a Subj: RE: ZORK HINT NEEDED 2/3 Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No >> Message length exceeded, split by WILDMAIL! v3.00 << >> Continued from previous message << now, and the vulture will bring you there).

Now go back to the Cliffs of Depression. Tie the rope to the tree, and climb down the side of the cliff and go into the Comedy Club. Now playback the four jokes that the people just told you to the audience. When you are done, Cliff will give you a disk piece. Now go to the lighthouse. Give the keeper a piece of illuminyte, and show him your disk pieces, he will give you the final piece. Go up to the top of the lighthouse and tie the rope onto the railing using the cow-knot that Ben taught you. Then tie the vulture talon onto the rope, and throw the rope across the river. The talon will boomerang back and tie itself around the railing, and you will have a nice rope bridge. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the Temple Bel Naire. Take the shield from the statue, and go into the Temple. Show the Holy Woman your sword and she will bless it for you. Now exit the Temple, and turn around once. There will be a gateway in the right side of the screen, follow that path to the dwarf camp. Talk to the Dwarven dudes, and they will give you a hardhat. Take it. Then go up to the top left part of the screen and go to the mining cart. Now this is very annoying. The path you must follow to escape the mining maze is the following, where L is Left, R is Right, and S is Straight. Make sure to only click once at each intersection, as the dumb game buffers your mouse clicks and it will screw you up occasionally. The path is L R S R L R S R L L R S. (By the way that puzzle is easy, just write down each word the dwarves say to each other that is Left, Right or Straight). Once out, you will be at the temple of the muses. From left to right, but the following items on each of the statues : 1) Staff 2) Talon 3) Thermozz Center) Nothing 4) Helmet AND Box 5) Shield 6) Tele-Orb Then place the disk pieces on the bowl in front, and hit a button (green I think I hit, I don't think it matters) watch the ensuing stupidity, and they will reassemble your disk into a whole again. The center statue is different, he is not a muse, but the "Catcher" (detailed in the Mayor's filing cabinets). Make sure to pick up all the items once you are done. Now take the vulture down to the Hero's Memorial. Take the right fork in the road, and go into the Troll Cave. Put your helmet on and all will be lit up. At the first troll, swing left, the next, swing up, the third, swing down. Then at the troll king, click on "Threatening" until he wimps out and gives you the necklace. Now go back to the green forest, and find your way to the spider. Show the spider the necklace, and he will wimp out. Then go up Flood Control Damn #3 (!), and fill up your flask from the "backside of the water". Now go to the whispering woods, and go one space in, and release the bats. Pick up the bat guano, and drop it into the flask with the clear water (from FCD#3). You now have an invisibility potion. Now off to the Cliffs of Depression. From there, turn around and go to the left. Throw the Flying Disk of Frobozz, and it will dispel the illusion. Go forward into the castle, and shoot the bow and arrow at the gates, and the hand will open the door for you. Once in, an orc will start attacking you. Drink the invisibility potion, and then play back the recording of Alexis the hellhound barking, the orc will wimp out and run away. Now, at the Citadel Bridge, throw *EVERYTHING* that you have at the bridge, until you have NOTHING left in your inventory. The bridge will come back up. SAVE THE GAME NOW:) Go over the bridge for your final confrontation with Morpheus. A game of Survivor. Only now you play Trembyle instead of Canuk, which makes the game VERY hard. Here is the pattern to win, the number represents what order you should make the moves in. If he blocks the move, pass your turn, and he will move to another space, do NOT deviate from the course I give here, or you will have to forfeit and will have to start over again. 0 5 12 9 0=Where you start 11 8 1 4 14=Where you will end 6 3 10 13 C=Where Canuk/Morpheus will die C 14 7 2 Again, if he blocks your move, do NOT go anywhere else, just pass your turn, he MUST move, he is not allowed to pass. Once you complete this, you've won the game! Congratulations. The ending of the game is kinda bad, but the game itself is pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot. Some of the puzzles (the bra box) were ridiculous, and some of the scenes (the Mining Maze, COME ON! Infocom games are NOT coordination games) really annoyed me, but all in all it was a pretty good game. I don't know where to find the remaining 7 points, but obviously it isn't very important. Till next time, seeya! -bYtE -October 11th, 1993 Thanks go out to Ozone and wc who played the game concurrently with me on IRC.

Hi Paul, Seeing as you know a fair bit about SCSI I was hoping you caould answer a question I've never got a straight answer about? Does a SCSI interface (1,2 or Wide) give any benefits as far as CD-ROM access is concerned? From what I've been able to determine SCSI devices have quicker access times than IDE ones (eg. Hard drives) but seeing as the bottleneck on a CD-ROM is the access off the CD-ROM itself, will there be any improvement in havinf a SCSI device? BTW I have a Pro Audio 16 SCSI with NEC CDR-55 multispin, Double Speed CD, 300Kb/s 320-350 ms access time, running on 486sx25 VLB. Thanks for any info you can shed.

Has anyone had the same problem, and if so any help would be mostly appreciate. Its a pain when the BBS goes done every day because of this problem.

Hello Dirk, I don't know the manufacture date because i didn't remove the drive yet. But I do have the bill of sale for the drive and I bought it in Oct. of 93 from CMS Software. The advertise on fido all the time under the name of Alan Evans. I called them and they told me that they didn't warranty the drive, they said it was up to Panasonic to do honor the warranty. I am really at my wits end with this and wish there was some way I could get someone to honor this warranty. Since I bought it mail order with my visa card maybe one of them can help me get some satisfaction. I have already sent a letter to the BBB in NJ where Panasonic has a HQ. I hope that gets some type of reply from them. If the drives are suposed to be warrentied through the vendor then I would think Panasonic would return one of my 4 calls and tell me that. Any suggestions on what else I can do?

ID, EPIC MegaGames, Apogee and many other Shareware Companies are now beginning to sub-license retailers as OFFICIAL REGISTERED SOFTWARE DEALERS. I'm not sure of each and every dealer, but if you check your SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTION files for DOOM, there should be a file called VENDOR.***. This file contains a (somwhat hopefully) complete list of each and every OFFICIALLY REGISTERED company that may LEGALLY distribute REGISTERED version of their Shareware Releases. As for playing DOOM off of a CD, Unless you have a Quad-Speed drive, I really wouldn't recommend playing it directly off of the disc. The data transfer speeds would be TOO SLOW to make DOOM enjoyable.

I've just got two sets of speakers, the cheap set connected to the SB,(I'm gonna u/g that as soon as I find a good enough deal w/ my spec.'s), and the good set connected to the headphone jack on the CD-ROM so I can get good audio. I recommend that you get the best CD you can and wait on the sound card. I have a Chinon 535 CD,(SCSI so I can add on an HD or scanner or something whenever I take a notion), and am looking at a PAS 16 sound card,(look in back issues and compare price drops). The Chinon has a caddy but I look at it like this, after I decide a particular CD is a "keeper", I get it it's own caddy and never touch the CD again. Something you might want to keep in mind is that if you only have a basic VGA monitor, you'll be wanting more very soon after you get the CD so consider that when deciding how much to spend on the CD.

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Hello All! I have a Mitsumi FX001D drive and am running Zork on it. When I use DMA transfer or software interrupt polling, the game often halts with no obvious reasons, but always at the same points within the game (e.g. no quickload at the start of the game possible). The only way to solve the problem is to eject the CD and drive the tray in again. The program gives a drive error, and after the CD was detected, the game continues until the next halt. When I use a pure software polling, everything runs fine. I tried all possible IRQs and DMA channels. No way. I wonder if there is a bug in the driver?

Been taking a few days off to have the carpet cleaned... Had to get everything off the floor. What a job! We had a pile going in our "junk room" of stuff we plan to sell at a yard sale and we had to go thru all of it and find another home for it. We got rid of a lot of stuff, but we still have too much junk. When the guy came to clean the carpet, he asked if we wanted the closets done. I told him he'd get injured if he opened the closet doors. I guess you can tell we're a bunch of packrats, but we're getting over it. We're starting to realize we only have so much space and just don't have room to hang onto stuff we're never going to use. The house is cleaner now than it's been in a long time, though. I'm a terrible housekeeper and it usually takes some kind of big motivation to get me to dig in and clean the place up. I'm hoping I can keep it clean now, tho, because it's so much easier to keep it clean than it is to clean it up once I've let it get really messy. I'll chat atcha later.

A "double-spin" drive can transfer 300k of data every second. Moving more information is less important for, say, shareware discs...nice, but not critical. On the other hand, for "multimedia", where lots of graphics and sound are being moved, even double-spin drives aren't fast enough. Do not buy a new single-spin drive. Consider carefully getting a used one. Prices are very low on DS drives and the performance increase is worth the money in 99% of cases. A single-speed drive is acceptable for use as a filebase in a BBS, or for somebody who ONLY wants to do shareware discs...and a DS drive is better in both cases. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.12 --- WM v3.10/92-0662 * Origin: NWCS Online + 18 Nodes + 13 Gig + (503) 620-5910 + (1:105/362) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JAMES POLLOCK Number: 7369 To: JAMES HO Date: 06/15/94 1:38p Subj: Re: Total Space.

In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP chip). The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive. According to the distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM drive has to be an IDE CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to be a Panasonic drive. I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic CD-ROM drive off a sound blaster 16. What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive? The IDE Panasonic drive is supposed to be a double speed (or is that spin ?) drive. Apparently there is plans for a tripple speed IDE CD-ROM drive, but nobody know when it will be available. Are the IDE CD-ROM drives *a lot* slower than the SCSI drives - comparing apples with apples ie. IDE double spin vs SCSI double spin ? Will the IDE tripple spin be considerably faster than the double spin, and any idea when it will be available (even other makes - not Panasonic) as I would like to know if it is worth waiting for or if I should take the plunge and decide now which to buy IDE or SCSI.

Here's what happens in a nutshell. Panasonic does not make ANYTHING. And unfortunately I have had them tell prospective costomers that same thing. Panasonic is a marketing arm of Matsushito which is what your drive is. The same drive (Masushito 562) is OEM'ed by IBM, Panasonic, Reveal, Omni, etc. Everyone calls them Panasonics because that is the most recognised name. They make the vendors handle the sevice problems, because they would not know for the most part who handled the drive orriginaly from the above list. The shop you purchased it from should honor the warrenty, but if they won't as I said maybe we can help. Lets start with a description of what the problem is, and include your Config and Autoexec lines so I can look them over. It could be either the drive or the controller of course so keep that in mind. Next. If the label on the top of the drive that shows the manufacture date is less than 1 year, we may be able to swap it out for you and perthaps you could let everyone know who helped you out :) Dirk ISR ■ KingQWK 1.05 ■ The Borg assimilated me & all I got was this T-Shirt. --- WM v3.10/92-0662 * Origin: NWCS Online + 18 Nodes + 13 Gig + (503) 620-5910 + (1:105/362) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DIRK RACKLEY Number: 7424 To: STEPHEN HARRINGTON Date: 06/16/94 11:08a Subj: Newer Panasonic 562b Driv Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No SH>PS>The latest version is ver 4.19 , I've heard that if SH>PS>you have a 562 rather than a 563 drive , then search for the string b5 SH>PS>b6 b3 with a hex editor and change it to b5 b6 b2 SH> SH>And obviously you heard correctly because it works like a dream, at least SH>with the SBCD.SYS v4.19.

We regularly post all our reviews of new CD's here and in several other echoes. Of course, I can't always promise a favorable write-up, but we strive to be as objective and honest in our appraisals as possible. We rely on actual "facts and figures" rather than "opinion" whenever we can. It's actually more of an "analysis" of the disc than a "review" in the traditional sense. Incidentally, we've been contacted by four publishers so far, for whom we review all new releases as soon as they are available.

Firstly, the interface isn't really IDE, it's proprietary to these Panasonic drives. I've run a Panasonic 562 off of a SoundBlaster Pro with good results. It performs nicely. The drive is as fast as comparable SCSI models (same data transfer rate and access time). The Panasonic 562 is down to $129 US at some sources, so it's definitely a bargin. Nice drive, nice price. I should mention that some people have had problems trying to get their drive serviced. For that reason, you might want to consider going with the more expensive Creative OmniCD. It is the Panasonic 563 (562=563 in terms of performance). If you did this, you could return the drive directly to Creative Labs if there were any problems. --- GoldED/2 2.42.G0214 * Origin: Dhatt's Point (1:3648/2.5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JAMES CHAMBERS Number: 7447 To: SCOTT HUFFMAN Date: 06/16/94 7:31p Subj: T&A Special Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No I seem to remember a T&A special you posted but can't seem to find any details.

Take the following for example: TECHJOCK ZIP 134244 3-05-88 2:47p TTT-DOCS ZIP 203423 2-05-89 7:32p TTT-PRG ZIP 73163 2-03-89 9:32p TTT5 ZIP 326552 6-12-89 6:08p TTT502-1 ZIP 83621 5-17-90 9:25p TTT502-2 ZIP 128575 10-08-89 2:35p TTT502-3 ZIP 108838 5-17-90 9:29p TTT502A ZIP 81269 4-03-90 11:00p TTT502B ZIP 202953 2-05-89 12:00a TTT50DEM ZIP 156335 2-04-90 9:32a TTT50DOC ZIP 135884 3-30-89 2:22p TTT50SRC ZIP 77556 2-03-89 9:32p TTT50_1 ZIP 77964 12-20-90 5:48a TTT50_2 ZIP 231063 2-05-89 7:32p TTT51SRC ZIP 81874 1-19-93 11:43a TTTDEM51 ZIP 58206 5-14-93 3:10p TTTDOC ZIP 23502 2-02-88 8:33a TTTDOC51 ZIP 39830 5-14-93 3:08p TTTNG ZIP 60559 2-05-89 7:15p TTTSRC51 ZIP 79920 5-14-93 3:11p TTTTPU ZIP 29336 2-01-88 7:49a These are all the same programming toolkit, with TTTxxx51 being the latest versions. All the files have ZIP comments advertising Dave's board, which currently isn't even online. As a SysOp I didn't find this particularly amusing. But more annoying for me are the file descriptions. For some reason they chose to upper case all of them. Maybe it's my personal preference, but I don't care for it. They also chopped (and I do mean chopped) all the file descriptions at a single line. That means that quite a few stop in mid-sentence, and even mid-word, making them virtually useless. The Files.BBS for \004 is the one out of \005, so all the files in subdirectory \004 have no descriptions. > Overall impression? Well, if you are an end user interested in > programming, this might hold some interest for you. As a SysOp, I > would only recommend it for offline requests since the disc itself > is a little "light" in regards to meggage, but it most certainly > would work. I use this both for my BBS and for my own use. Since I keep my BBS fairly limited and centered on Pascal programming, I don't mind it being light. Short of making my own disc, I haven't found anything else on the market that comes as close to focusing on Pascal. I wouldn't think about taking it offline unless I replace it with something similar in content, not even for NightOwl 12. * Origin: Infinity - InterMail/GEcho -=[HST/V32b]=- (1:280/5) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SCOTT HUFFMAN Number: 7459 To: TOM BROWN Date: 06/17/94 9:05a Subj: Re: ForBidden Subjects!

Yes but with a ten line limit, you merely get more ten line posts that advertise the same number of items that longer line posts would. What's worse, three 20 line posts or six ten line posts?

A fair number of CD-ROM games need CD-ROM sound. Some will let you limp by with headphones plugged into the CD-ROM drive, but you're really much better playing through the board. I would presume there are some titles that use both CD-audio and sound board generated sounds. After all, if the typical card that plays CD-audio can mix the two, why not? In any case, I recently played my copy of Loom on my brother-in-law's system. It has the Sound System for Windows (or whatever it is that Microsoft sells) which purports to be Sound Blaster compatible, but doesn't include the DOS drivers (either Creative's drivers or a workable clone). With this board we can play Loom, but we have to plug WalkMan headphones into the CD ROM drive jack. CD ROMIX titles won't play at all. If anyone could suggest a solution for this problem, I'm all ears.

My interest in the phone CD-ROM has more to do with the reverse engineering, intellectual property and privacy issues: I wanted one (any one) as a partial demonstration of these things. The context is I am likely to be working on a Commonwealth government reference on converging technologies (yes, another one) and the implications for future education, training and workforce skills. Thus, I haven't looked at the other products but here are some comments on Phonedisk for what they're worth. It's very straightforward and quick: enter last name and it generates an initial list of people: add state or suburb or postcode and click on any displayed name and you get full details. Enter number, state and you get person and so on. It is divided into separate business and residential lists. Having said that, it is an irritating product. Despite the fact that it exists because someone re-engineered all the telephone books, it seems to be designed to prevent people getting more than single event information out of it without a great deal of work. For example, a friend of mine wanted to know all the people in Australia with her surname. Easy: turned out there were 65 of them listed around the country. The screen where you print these only gives them to you one at a time. OK, so print each of them to file. Each file is full of ACSII garbage, making them very large ( >40k from memory). To produce a single list of names and addresses took a lot of time working with a very good editor. The business lists have the capacity to generate all the firms in a given area: but the suburb field is greyed out if you try to start from there. Similarly, for residential, you could in principle generate marketing mailing lists by suburb - but it doesn't let you do it. Yet this is in essence a fairly simple data-base and the real work seems to have gone into controlling its usefulness. I think there is another product from the same company that does all the things this one could do but doesn't. Had I wanted it for the purposes many other people presumably buy it for, it would have gone back.

You DON'T get wat you've had paid for.... I thought AH!!! New windows files........ as it says on the label but I never expected this...... The CD was filled with 1992 and 1991 stuff and the longer I looked the lower the dates went, even as low as 1989.... The same thing went for GAMES 1993...... This time they were a bt more clever... :-( They Re-Archived all the files to 4-1-93 Nice Joke April the first...... But....... they proved they were right about that... It WAS a joke......
