It is probably so simple that I'm going At the ship you need to open the safe and get the disk piece and the rusty metal thing. Also, pick up the rag. Once out on the deck of the ship all you do is keep moving "backwards". Position the cursor on the bottom of the screen to make the arrow point back at you, then just back your way out of the bottle. Be sure to have the mirror in your hands when you exit the bottle! As you leave Canuk's pry off the door knocker (you may need to read the blueprints first). It's a bitch to be stuck. I am totally stuck at the Witch's hut. HOW DO I GET THE BATS FROM THE WITCH!,,,ANYBODY,,,SPEAK UP!

Try putting the program that you think is causing the problem in the dirve that is unstacked. Another thing to rember is that stacker takes up memory and slows the computer down. I had this problem for a few programs taht I was running. What I did was make a boot disk ignoring the stacked drive and directly running the program, it made it a lot faster (something to consider if you are using CD-rom games). Probably what bothers me the most is when people who have lots of room on a uncompressed drive use stacker. Why buy a closet organizer if you only have one suit to hang up. By the time you are ready or need a compression utility the available technology might have progressed to something safer, faster or better. Hope that helps. P.S. Canada will win the World Cup.

I probably want whichever one is more popular and for which I can get OS/2 drivers. In fact, where would I get OS/2 drivers? Also, will I have a problem with drivers for the Sony because the controller's different than most? Would appreciate any advice.

Rainer, may I jump in here? I know that Hayden can answer for himself and probably will. This isn't to overshadow his response, just to add too it. I'm not a dealer, not connected with Hayden or anyone else in the business, just a Canadian who has stuff going back and forth across the border all the time. You should understand that the border bills encountered by Canadians generally have nothing to do with duties. There is not duty on computer goods. But there is a tax, something similar to your state sales taxes. In our case we have what amounts to a federal sales tax called a Goods and Services Tax (GST) and provinces have their Provincial Sales Tax (PST) The customs people at the border usually collect GST and in some provinces PST as well. If it is sent by mail our post office will charge GST plus a $5 service charge. That can all get ridiculous when we are buying a $30 (U.S.) disc. Then we would pay tax on the Canadian amount ($30 X 140% + 7%) or about $3 Cdn in tax plus $5 delivery or about $8 (Cdn) on a $30 (U.S.) disc. Carriers such as UPS and FedEx can go through brokers and that can add even more to the cost of getting something through customs. Now, to answer your question, I've never heard of any American having that sort of trouble on ordinary items. You don't have the same tax/customs set up. And Hayden? He's considered one of this country's most reputable dealers. Hope that helps in some small way.

Thank you for asking... It's an unusual situation that seems to fall solely on Canadians. Despite NAFTA, and the previous Free Trade agreement, Canadians are on the receiving end of outrageous import duties and taxes. For example, if we were to buy software from the USA on floppy it would be duty-free. But take that same software on place on a CD-ROM, and now the media becomes dutiable! I've had this ongoing discussion with Revenue Canada for the past 9 months regarding this inconsistancy, but they -- like most government departments take for ever and a day to act. However, the converse applies when American customers purchase CDs from Canada -- I'm going by my US customers on this, since each time I talk to the powers-that-be at either Canada or US Customs, I get vague replies... As long as the product being reintroduced into the US was originally made in the USA, it's non-dutiable. There should not be any taxes applied either. If the CD was produced in Canada, there should not be any charges either, providing the discs are not excessively expensive, i.e. over $100 US each. I have a number of US customers that are repeat buyers, so far none have mentioned any problems with their orders. As time goes on, NAFTA will be removing virtually all duties and tarifs -- on North American made goods -- across our borders, so it can only get better. Additionally, the problems earlier mentioned in some posts, had to do primarily with UPS, FedEx, and other courier services, who royally fleece us here when receiving US originating shipments. So, unless requested by our US customers, we ship all orders via Canada Post, who in turn hand it off to US Mail -- so far so good. Shipments are received relatively in good time, and in good condition. I hope that this answers your questions. Again thanks for asking.

The single, double, triple, quad, etc. in cd-rom drive speeds is an indicator of how much information it can transfer per second. The first cd-rom drives to come out were single spped drives. This meant that they transfered 150 kilobytes (kb) per second. Soon after NEC developed a method of transfering 300 kb per second. Because the amount of information transfered was doubled they called it a double speed. Double speed CD-ROMs have been the standard for several years now but probably wont be much longer due to NEC's (again) invention of the triple speed and quad speed CD-ROMS. These CD-ROMs transfer 450kb (3x) and 600kb (4x) per second. Other companies have begun manufacturing triple and quad speed drives but NEC is the real leader in the CD-ROM market. In fact I just purchased their triple speed two days ago and have heard nothing but good news about it. So, summing it all up, the double, triple, quadruple, etc. is the amount of times faster than 150 kb per second it delivers info. This is the most important aspect of a CD-ROM but also you should look for the acess time. The access time is how long it takes for the cd-rom drive to access the information it is looking for on the disk. Cd-roms are significantly slower than hard drives but faster than floppys. The NEC 3xi has a 195 millisecond access time while my harddrive has a mere 12 milliseconds. So the faster the better again. I hope I have been a help and I would be happy to answer any other questions you have about cd-roms. By the way I'm only 15.

It can however be upgraded to wavetable for $159 by buying the waveblaster add on card. The card that come with the kit has a built in scsi-2 interface so you don't need to worry about buying an extra card.

The message you have plucked a peice out of, was from a gentleman over there in the states back to me after I requested to know the whereabouts of the author of the offending cd's it appears he was already caught out by this person for some commercial files and was promptly reported to the SPA ( I assume this means the shareware professionals association ? ) I have since contacted the distributor here in Aussie down in Melbourne that I purchased the set off he is declining to refund at the moment because I have tried past 12 months to get my money back however after seeking advice I have been informed that they are definitley responsible and infact with enough proof and the circumstances being right they are liable up to 3 years!!. I had sent a form back to the author originally which asked what I thought of the cd's and on it I had stated that I thought the number of duplicates and the lack of descriptions were sad but he never replied to that and now I am going to make absolutely sure I get my money back!!

Yes, a Sound Blaster Pro can run up to 4 Panasonic CD Roms but only under OS/2. The first drive HAS to be the single spin drive and the other 3 MUST be double spin (CR 562B) to use the drive select pins (on the double spin drives). Last night I tried to put a double spin Panasonic CR 562B drive on my Sound Blaster Pro under DOS on my personal machine, and the software I have would not run it (SBPCD.SYS). I rang Creative Pacific in Sydney (Sound Blaster Distributors) and they said that there was no current available software to run the double spin CD's on SOund Blaster Pro's. He said an old version of the CD software could run them, but they do not have this version on their BBS. I run a BBS using OS/2 that can run any number of CD Roms on line (5 running currently) BUT I do not use a Sound Blaster Pro. I use a CD paddle card (no sound) which controls the CD's in lots of 4. This board runs all the CD Roms under DOS as well using the driver CDMKE.SYS It appears I will have to buy one of the paddle cards and run the CD's from that OR frind a new driver. That will be latere on when I get the time.

The only differencve is the speed in which the info comes off the rom, the data transfer rate. My Panasonic CR 562B double spin ROM drive book says:- a. Single spin (normal velocity mode) is 150,000 bytes per second (150 KB/second) with a disk speed of 200-530 revs per minute. b. Double spin is 300 KB/second) with a disk speed of 400-1060 rpm. Similarly triple spin should be 450 KB/second and quad spin is 600 KB/second with probably corresponding disk speeds. Single spin drives can handle Multimedia applications. On my personal computer (different to my BBS computer which runs 5 CD Roms under OS/2 - one single spin and 4 double spins using 2 controller cards), I have a 64 K buffer on board the CD Rom and I have changed the buffers on MSCDEX to 50, up from 8. You can have up to 4 CD Roms on a MKE BUS Controller card. One of them can be a single speed and the other 3 MUST be double spin drives (to utilize the drive select pins). I understand SONY does not have drive select whereas Panasonic CR 562B CD drives have the drive selects.

What should I do? Get a double speed drive VC> right now for about 170-210$ or wait until the quad-speed drives come VC> out and drop in price? Please give me some advise. If you wait for the quad speeds to drop in price, then the developers will bring out something else. Like drives which will play 5.25 and 3.5" CD's, or double sided CD's or affordable CD writers or CD ROM readers that also operate as a home security system and alarm clock and microwave oven and fit in a matchbox. If you can improve the enjoyment or productivity that your computer gives you by buying a faster drive now, and that level of improvement justifies the expenditure, then go out and buy it. However, if the improvement is only going to be marginal, ie. it is not an important enough improvement to justify spending your money, the wait. But don't fall into the trap of waiting until the next generation of technology hits the street, otherwise you will find yourself in a catch 22 situation, always waiting for something better or faster. I also have a single speed Mitsumi drive, and have considered buying the double speed Mitsumi. I purchased the single speed when the technology was fairly new, as a result I paid a premium for the drive (over AUS$500) which now seems ridiculous if you think of the price these now sell for. But considering that I have learnt a great deal about CD ROM technology by having a drive at this early stage and have been able to give valuable advice to other users due to that knowledge, I consider this to have been a worthwhile investment, because I, as a consultant have had the benefit of having the drive for perhaps a year or more longer than others who waited for the technology to come of age. As a result I consider that, although I paid a high price for the drive, the cost was justified as I have had the benefit of the drive for that length of time. I have bought other equipment on the same basis, for example I had a laser printer in 1987 whilst other users were waiting for the prices to fall, and so they did, but by the time prices had come down and technology had improved, my machine had already paid for itself more than three times over. The question of whether to buy a double speed drive now, however is dependent on what benefit it will give you - ask yourself, what will I get out of a double speed drive - what is your main usage for the drive - games - reference - Photo CD - shareware access. If your main activity will be substantially improved by doubling your drives speed, and you can afford to buy one, then go ahead, if this is not the case, then stick with what you have got and spend your money on something that will improve the quality of your computing, like more RAM or a bigger monitor ar a faster video card or a better sound card. Your question is not a simple one and deserves a complex answer, I have probably only served to reinforce the thoughts you already had, bat perhaps one last comment, which is the way I usually work when I see something I may want to buy.

Quick and dirty, here it is: SINGLE SPEED DOUBLE SPEED ============ ============ Data Xfer rate 150KB/sec 300KB/sec MPC Level MPC-1 MPC-2 The main reason for needing a faster drive is for multimedia: particularly full-motion synchronized audio and video like files in the Video For Windows (.AVI) or QuickTime for Windows (.QTW or .MOV) formats. If you try to run something that specifies it requires a DS(MPC-2) drive, it'll run, but you may see the output "hiccup": motion may be jerky and sound may be choppy. In my experience, I've come across stuff claiming to run on an MPC-1 drive that in actuality needed a double, triple, or quadruple speed drive based on the output. Zatsalligotfornow.

However when you were doing your calculations on shipping costs you forgot, time and the wages paid to someone who is doing this in Scott's company. Comparitvely, his shipping/handling charges are quite reasonable. I have participated in many FREE offers (other than cd's) where the S/H has usually been just under $5. Those that ask more, I question (and do not participate) in their FREE offer. As an aside, on the FREE offer going into Cnanda, I think that his S/H fee is more than liberal! I participate with a number of people in the CRAFTING echo, doing exchanges and postage to Canada is outrageous! Just my two cents worth.

I wasn't sure whether the reason for the customs intervention was something primarily Canadian, or whether it had to do with international sales in general. I do know that Candian phone calls are significantly more expensive, and less discountable, than within-US calls, and that Corel charges $25 shipping on everything they send to the US, claiming some mumbo-jumbo about customs and international shipping costs (never minding that their shipments come from a Federal Express warehouse in the US -- I guess they had to get them to that warehouse somehow).

I have installed a fan directly in front of the CPU and it is cooling the CPU which now does not appear to be getting very hot even after a few hours.Before I put the fan in it was quite warm after an hour.What I want to know is whether the fan is sufficient or do I have to install a heatsink\fan combination.

DT> In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP DT> chip). The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive. DT> According to the distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM DT> drive has to be an IDE CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to DT> be a Panasonic drive. DT> I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic DT> CD-ROM drive off a sound blaster 16. DT> What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive? Yes, I am using the Matsushita double-spin drive with a SB Pro, which uses the same interface. It has a rating of 300k/s, while SOME SCSI drives are rated as high as 330k/s, and an access speed of 320ms, while some SCSI drives are as low as 180ms, and most hover around 250ms. You will pay about twice as much for a SCSI drive, a little more if you get a GOOD SCSI card rather than the least expensive. You will have to decide whether or not the performance increase is worth it; for me it was not, and I already have SCSI for my HD. ...

Now the drive worked great for 7 months. But just one day it stoped working. When I would boot the drive light would come on and stay on a longer then normal time about a minute. And then the light would go out and the computer would boot. But when I tryed to use the drive all I got was drive not ready errors. I took someones suggestion and tryed a lense cleaning kit that cost me $15 and it didn't help any. If you can swap out this drive that would be great! I take it you are a dealer then? The dealer I bought it from is Alan Evans who is the front man on fido for CMS software. The won't take the drive back and replace it for me. Please call me about this collect soon. I have been cd-less for over 3 weeks now. And thank you very much I will be sure to tell everyone who gives the good service around here! I will post it for all my callers to see when they log onto my BBS. And I would like to do my future business with a dealer who offers good service too since I have now seen that not all do!!!

Sorr, my drive hasn't blown up, but it doensn't mean your out of luck. If your drive interface supports one of the "standard formats, a interface card can be from fairly cheap to free. The free way is assuming it uses a creative labs hookup. (Panasonics do) Alos assuming you have a SBPRO or higher soundcard, as it has the interface built in. The drive might also support Sony or Mitzumi, which there are inexpensive controllers out. The most expensive is SCSI, whic can be VERY expensive, but if you have a sound card with SCSI on it (SB16SCSI, PAS16,) you have the connector. The instructions should say. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: Direct Connect BBS - Phila, PA 5 Gigs 215-535-6579 (1:273/919) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: WILLIAM COOKE Number: 7714 To: ARTHUR BISHOP Date: 06/02/94 6:50p Subj: Re: SEVENTH GUEST : PROBS Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > I am attempting to run T7G using a TRIDENT 8000 series video card, > SOUNDBLASTER I card, (address 220, IRQ7, DMA1), PANASONIC CDROM and > either PC or MICROSOFT mouse (FMOUSE driver) > > I have installed T7GFIX3 patches but am unable to get past the > opening vocal invitation and the sphinx card, when the prog hangs up > with the skeleton's hand moving but not responding to the mouse, > (mouse driver installed OK) Everybody (just about) has had this prob including myself. First, that's porbably not the ltest patch, as I believe t7gfix 3 came out 6months ago. Also, download the driver Univesa. When I ran it, the graphics moved about 2x, and the choppy speech stopped.

Some programs are designed to take advantage of the faster speed of the double spin drives, but theses could still be used on single spin drives but the performance would suffer (animations would not be smooth ect.) but they would still run.

This program lets you make your own multimedia presentations using images in many different formats, including PhotoCD. It also displays 8-bit .FLI and .FLC animations and 16-bit .FLX animations. The program is made by Mathematica Inc. of Florida (voice: 813-682-1128, fax: 813-686-5969). Another program they make, called TEMPRA Show, also lets you view .FLI and .FLC files, but it is not on CD-ROM, and it does not support PhotoCD or .FLX. -- Hans * OLX 2.1 TD * hAS ANYONE SEEN MY cAPSLOCK KEY? --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: Sonoma Online (1:125/7) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: JIM KEHO Number: 7769 To: MIKE GERVASI Date: 06/20/94 9:26a Subj: Re: CD's for sale!

N Do you have a LOT of files stored away on disk? Do you have a lot of disks? Do you have files that you wouldn't want to lose? Does it take more than 10 minutes for you to find a file, even if you know what disk it's on? Is your hard drive gasping for space? If so, Triad Computer Systems has the answer to your problems! Transfer 500 megs of files to a safe, dependable Transfer 350 1.44m disks or 400 1.2m disks or 700 720k disks or even 1,400 360k disks for $99.95 + shipping and handling. We can even transfer from QIC 80/40 format tapes or directly from your hard drive. We can customize your CD-Rom to take bits and pieces from many different media, even from one or more CD-Roms, for an additional charge. Yes, that's up to 500+ megs of files YOU want, put on your own CD-Rom, and for a total cost that is less than 20 cents a meg! For more information or if you have any questions, give us a call at (813) 754-7623. Triad Computer Systems, the BEST solution to your storage problems Advantages of the Triad System: (1) Size of storage: 500+ megs of files all on one CD-Rom disk. Thats 350 1.44's, 400 1.2's, 700 720's, 1400 360's, or 4 120 meg tapes, all full! (2) Size of media: A single CD-Rom disk is about the size of a single 5.25 floppy, but takes the place of as many as 1400! (3) Dependability of media: CD-Roms don't lose data over time. They aren't damaged by magnetic or electrical fields. They aren't damaged by dust, fingerprints, or spills. A CD-Rom won't wear out or lose data over time. No "sector not found" error on that very important disk that you MUST have. (4) Security of media: Your data can't become corrupted, or infected with a virus. A CD-Rom can't be accidently erased, or formatted. (5) Cost: A box of 10 HD 3.5 disks is $9.49, 10 DD 3.5 is $8.29, 10 HD 5.25 is $6.49, 10 DD 5.25 is $5.39, a 120/240 meg tape is $27.99 (unformatted) (All prices are from Staples/ Workplace 11/13/93). A 540 meg Hard Drive is $729.00! (Hard Drive Super Source, pp 577, Nov. Computer Shopper) You get 500+ megs of data transfered to CD-Rom for $99.95, AND you get your disks back. It's like getting the CD-Rom for F-R-E-E! (6) Time: You can find and copy a file from a single CD-Rom faster than you can from a pile of disks, and a LOT quicker than from tape. (7) Protection of valuable files and investments: With the cost of new software always on the rise, it makes sense to have your archival copy of valuable programs and data on CD-Rom. You won't have to worry about your hard drive going down and not being able to find (or read) disk 3 of 17 of a program that cost you a lot of hard earned money. (8) Choice: YOU decide what you want put on the disk. Every file, GIF or bit of data has been selected by the harshest critic alive, YOU! Your disk, your files. What could be better?

I'd have to agree with Mr. Vonsaleski on this one. Technically a MB is 1024^2 or 1,048,576 bytes. I don't subscribe to AOL and I don't know who the author of that particular fact was but I'd say that they are trying to define a standard for the MB so that we can all get together on this. I believe it was posted at the beginning of this thread that most HD manufacturers quote their drive sizes with MB being defined as 1,000,000 bytes which is somewhat misleading on the larger drives. An example is a 540MB HD. If a MB is 1,000,000 bytes then you get a formatted size of 515MB whereas if they had used the try definition of 1,048,576, the formatted size would truly be 540MB. Another 2¢ worth.

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: SCOTT SARNIA Number: 7819 To: ALL Date: 06/17/94 4:05p Subj: NEW BBS!

Considering the added overhead each individual post gives us (seen bys, origin lines, To: From:, etc), I'd have to say the ten liners.

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

I guess I was so thrown by the 'Wyoming' in the tagline on a supersaturated US-based echo it never occurred to me that it was a real Australian place name (now Mehhico, by contrast...) It probably never occurred to Steve that anyone could be suffering from this level of geographical ignorance (and maplessness).... AM> I notice your interest in phone CDROMs. Have you looked at any AM> of the others for Australia besides the Australian Phone disk. AM> I would be interested in any comparisons that can be made between AM> them. 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.

In answer to your questions, I haven't gotten to the spider yet but I think I can help you with the witch. First thing when you get inside is to show her the thermos of milk (you get the milk from the cow at Pugny's farm) and she'll let you take the bat cage. Then show her the sealed letter from Ben, and she'll give you the staff. Then walk one step out of her house. Then take her staff and place it on the ground in front of you. If it sinks in, it is not safe to walk in that direction, if it doesn't, it means the ground is solid and you can take one step forward. Keep doing this, i.e., testing the ground with your staff and taking single steps until you are out of the swamp. I hope the above helps. I haven't done much adventuring since I got out of the bottle at Canuck's. Mine has been a slow go through this game but it's been a lot of fun. Keep in touch.

Just my two cents worth. > > Marlina Marlina, Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate reading your thoughts. I responded primarily brcause Laurie called someone a "bloody idiot." I found that comment childish, uncalled for, and insulting. As to my cost comments: No, I really didn't forget about the labor issue. I chose (intentionally) to ignore it. If you want you can take the cost of a high-school kid after school doing the stuffing and mailing. Lets round it to $5.00 per hour. Lets say the kid's pretty slow and takes TWO minutes per package (having worked on mailings 30-45 seconds is really the average). That works out to under $0.17 per piece. Even if it took FIVE minutes to stuff and address each envelope that's under $0.42 each (and my mother is faster than that!). My point isn't that the disk isn't wonderful, useful, pretty, sexy, and great. What I'm saying is that it isn't "free" (a word which is becoming painfully over-used) and that the company providing it isn't likely to lose money. Is making money wrong? Of course not. As long as somebody isn't claiming they're giving something "free."

[text cut] Chris, most of your comments are correct however NEC was far from the first to bring out Quad-speed drives. Pioneer's 604X (while expensive) has been on the market for nearly two years now. A fact NEC is very good at ignoring. Also, while Toshiba hasn't released their new triple-speed, they've historically had better access rates then NEC (admitidly close, though). Don't get me wrong, NEC makes great quality drives (and charges acordingly).

Perhaps you could post the model number of the unit, or even easier, if it has a 50 pin connector at back its a SCSI, normally all Hitachi are, most 8 or 16 SCSI controller card will work with it, the cable should be no more then 10$ for it, cards could be had for cheap in states, look around, should be no problem.

Are there any BBS-ready shareware CD-ROMs with multiline descriptions? I recently subscribed to the JCS Author-to-Vendor service (which is somewhat unique because the authors _pay_ to put their programs on the disc, which ensures that the programs are all the latest versions... the only real caveat is that the disc is not very full) and what I like most about it is the fact that the descriptions come in two varieties - short (standard 1-line) and long (the DIZ file imported, usually 8+ lines). I've been using the Profit Press discs forever on my BBS, but compared to the JCS their descriptions are lacking pretty seriously (I especially hate the BMP or WAV file descriptions that just say "Windows waveform file" or "Windows bitmap file" ... they're just SO descriptive...). I was just wondering if anyone knows of a disc with extended descriptions (besides the JCS one, obviously) on all the files.

I recently received your very inexpensive MegaDEMO 2 disc. On the whole it's very nice, but unfortunately, I encountered a minor compatibility glitch with the CDBENCH program - it aborts immediately after loading with the claim that 'MSCDEX is not installed' when my network drivers are loaded. I am using Novell DOS 7 and a Personal Netware peer-to-peer network with an Allied Telesis AT1500T ethernet adapter. Obviously MSCDEX (or actually, NWCDEX, the Novell version of MSCDEX, but I tried it with the real MSCDEX to the same ends) is installed or else I wouldn't be able to access the CD-ROM drive! Anyway, it's something that you ought to be aware of or if it's not something that can/will be fixed that you ought to make your customers aware of. It worked fine when I unloaded VLM (the PNW client software).

This was a very unique case, and I doubt any sysop in the average community would face prosecution, unless he were giving access to said materials to minors. This has nothing to do with a lawsuit, in any case. If there is any lawsuit, it would probably be a copyright violation (say with Playboy, for instance).

Don't count on the files being in AVI or mpeg format. I'd imagine you have a proprietary file format, which is designed precisely around the way the Genesis system is designed. You can load it into your PC, but it won't be able to make heads or tails of it. Unless of course enough people were interested in them to construct software to pull images off Sega CD-ROMS. It would probably be quite difficult, and not give good results. For instance, most frames in those games are a composite of a background and sprites of some sort for the player/bad guys which are moved over the background. Chance of said software being developed depends on how much interesting useful stuff is on those CDs.

I don't know why this occurs but if it only occurs in windows then it is a windows problem. I think its probably related to the config.sys files and memory management and cacheing. In any case you should try to be more specific in describing your problem. If you have the same drive I have then it is probably related to the drive or its driver and in what manner it is set up.

Answer to Question #2 -- In your config.sys there should be a statement similar to this DEVICE=C:\DEV\MTMCDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /M:8 /V /T:5 or somthing similar the M:8 is the number of buffers, jump this up to 64 which will allocate 32k of ram for buffering. Then add the /X to the end of the line and this will tell it to use extended memory instead of conventional. The last thing you should do is tell it to use software polling instead of a dma channel... You'll get better performance that way. After having said all that, my recommendation to you is to keep the sb16 asp and sell the mitsumi 1x, then buy the panasonic 562 (2x). The device driver takes up less ram, and has a 64k buffer.

I could not get past the maeva2 tunnel, period. So i went into the savegame file on the harddisk, and used xtree gold to change one letter. This had the most wonderful effect. Now, i can select every stage to play, even the bonus one, at will. All i did using xtree, is edit the savegame file, ie fractal.sav, and there is just one line of text. At the start of the line, is a letter from the alphabet, about 3 or 4 charachters from the left. Just overwrite it with the letter "r", save the file and play megarace. load the savegame you just edited, and you will get a new custom menu screen where you can choose every track. -T- ...

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Mauricio Rodriguez asked: MR>Is it [Myst] really that great of a game? ... what is the plot of the MR>game and is it really that interesting? Let me preface this reply by stating that I'm not done with Myst, yet. So any of the following observations are based on only having gone through 2 ages, so far.... But I think I can give you an idea: You are Robinson Crusoe with amnesia. What you see is entirely POV (point of view) i.e., when you click left you see what's to the left, -- no diminutive little caricatures scrambling across your screen. With this, the visuals become more of a virtual reality experience -- minus the smoother (but redundant) Z-axis dolly-ins of 7th Guest, and minus the _emphasis_ on lip-synced (albeit repetitious) speech of Dracula Unleashed. But the following qualities more than make up for that (all my opinion of course <G>): Unlike 7th Guest, Myst has a "zap" feature where you can short-cut back to a place you've already been without having to go thru every twist & turn numerous times; and altho Dracula Unleashed is to be commended for such beautiful-looking lip-sync video (I still demo it for visitors to my PC), every time you revisit a Dracula location, you can't escape the same speech reruns unless you Fast Forward. In Myst, you walk around a SOUND-EFFECT-INFECTED island (I use full spectrum stereo headphones and have the monitor closer than usual to get really INTO it), interacting with strange DEVICES that do unusual things for purposes you can't imagine -- but if you diligently explore long enough, you begin to see the light. What brief lip-synced speech there is in Myst, is mostly from SOURCES so you don't get as sick of hearing voices. The music changes from scene to scene and is so minimal, that it enhances rather than intrudes. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's music or a sound effect (which is good). There's no need to accumulate objects & carry them around with you in an inventory (what a relief!); you can stumble on to enigmas and manipulate them in _almost_ any order that you like without being penalized (unlike most adventure games); & last but not least, there is never any "mistake" you can make where you wind up dead and having to restore to an earlier point in the game to figure out where you went wrong -- none of that -- at least so far! If you like using your MIND & don't mind jotting down a few notes for future reference (you ARE really THERE, right?) then brace yourself for a healthy Alternate Reality.

Yes, BUT it's "supposed" to be "1" 10 line post every week. People here have either bullied the moderator into, basically, letting them do what they want or he just does not care. I have seen many 10 line posts DAILY from some vendors and thats why they are in my TWIT filter. They break up their long posts into many 10 line posts and then posts them all, so what difference does it make. Just experiment and add Joe Rinehart (no offence meant at all to Joe, just an EXAMPLE) to and from in your twit filter. Notice you now no longer see the "can you send me a catalog posts" ? Add a few others and you will notice this topic becoming more like it IS supposed to be like. Also notice that after twitting the sales ad's, the number of posts per day drops from 100++ to 50-70. Too bad even though you can't see them you STILL have to pay to transfer the rubbish.
