 Does it have the 2.11 service pak?
 Does any other CD product have the 2.11 service pak? the EMS?

Hi Peter, check your audio cable which connecting between the cd-rom and
the sound card---------the pins configuration, because
   Mitsumi has:
    Pin 1 : Right channel
    pin 2 : ground
    pin 3 : Left channel
    pin 4 : ground
check you manual both the cd-rom and the sound card, compare pin to pin
both ends and see if the right channel to the right, ground to ground. I
have a sound blaster basic 16 and the pins are all wrong, I changed it
and it works better, let me know the result OK?

Actually, I was looking for a used cheap one, maybe 1-2 versions old that I
could afford, preferably Groliers. and dos based. Thanks for the knowledgeable
reply tho.

While I got you: can you get the Ultima cd that has games 1-6 of the Ultima
series on it? If so, how much??? Been trying to get a second-hand one but no
luck yet.

Also remember that only the Smartdrive 4.x (I think) and 5.0 cache CD-ROM
drives previous version do not.   What version are you running?  I can upload
the new version for you, but you should have it with DOS 6.2.  By the way I am
running a configuration similar to yours (DOS 6.22, MSCDEX 2.23 etc.) and
Smartdrive caches my CDROM perfectly (also setup as drive E) so there is hope!

Well as you state, shouldn't this very message from you be taken to
netmail? You think that maybe 90% of the people not have access to
netmail. It is just too expensive to sysops for each long distance
call(it isn't networked, so it isn't free. Of course, all this is IMHO.

So your stuck with the kitchen puzzle huh.  Cool so was I, here's the answer.
It's a pain in the butt considering the only vowel is a "y".  "SHY GYPSY SLYLY
SPRYLY TRYST BY MY CRYPT"  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but if you
look up each word in the dictionary it makes a little sense.  Now... any tips

Two of your puzzles, the crypt and the microscope, just take constant trying
to beat.  But you don't have to beat the microscope to continue with the game,
have the book beat it for you.  The crypt has a certain pattern to it and once
you figure it out, it has to do with the positioning of the open and closed
coffins, it's a cinch to solve.  Now the bishop puzzle.  I have the book in
front of me and it says to number the left side going from the bottom to the
top 1-4.  Then letter the top, left-right, a-e.  The moves are as follows:

We are all waiting for these.  I have on a number of occasions been offered
these by Australian dealers claiming they have them 'on the way'.  This
happened again last Thursday so on Friday night we called both Virgin and
Access.  They are the publishers of 11th Hour and Under a Killing Moon
respectively.  We got the following responses.

11th Hour
Definitely NOT being released until the beginning of September.

Under a Killing Moon
No way can anyone offer us them yet.  Release scheduled for late August/early
September.  A demo CD release (not the full game) is due is a week or two.

Regards,
Steve

Apparently when they first started making CDs they put a fair sized thickness
of plastic on the bottom (silver) side of the CD to protect it if you put it on
a desk or something, but apprently the top wasn't so think and if you scratched
the top and exposed the metal it would oxidise and stuff the CD. Apparently
they have it all sorted out now and the risk of damaging a CD due to a scratch
to the top side of the CD.

Or so the chap from the local record store was saying...

 I have seen 40 odd screen shots from this game, and I must say I am
 extremely disappointed. I am one of those people that bought the game not
 so much for the puzzles, but because of the graphics. Most of the sceen
 shots that I had seen for the 11th Hour were almost identical to the 7th
 Guest. It seems like you will be buying the 7th Guest again with new
 puzzles.

 I have the same problem with Dune as well, although it was much worse
 on the SB16 I have in one machine than it was with the SBPro that I
 have in my main machine. I stuck with the Pro for my main computer
 because I was using them both side by side for a few weeks, and not
 only could I not hear any difference between them, but I was having
 many more compatibility problems with the SB16 a number of games. I've
 reached a stage in my computer buying life where I don't upgrade
 everything automatically just because something new comes out. But
 don't tell my wife until I've swapped my 15" monitor for a 17" 8*)

 MA> I HAVE SO FAR BUT I;M CONSIDERING GETTING "RETURN TO ZORK"
 MA> WHICH APPARENTLY IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS TYPE OF SOUND

 I had problems when I was running this on a Mitsumi double speed, which
 apparently isn't quite 300Kps, and it made the sound 'echo' rather than
 click. But on a Panasonics drive with the SBPro, its been fine...

 I guess you'll either have to learn to live with the problems, or
 change it for an SBPro, which should be about the same price, or hope
 Creative release updated drivers, or the game companies do the same. I
 know what I'd be doing...

DT>I would like to buy a CD-ROM drive and have a few questions.
DT>In my pc, I have IDE hard drives and a sound blaster 16 (with ASP chip).
DT>The sound blaster card has a connection for a CD-ROM drive. According to the
DT>distributors of the sound blaster (SDC) the CD-ROM drive has to be an IDE
DT>CD_ROM drive (which makes sense) and it *HAS* to be a Panasonic drive.

...that only matters if you want to interface the drive DIRECTLY to the
sound card, which doesn't really make much difference.  Yes, it saves
you a slot... but it can also make life hard on you if you later want to
upgrade your sound card, too.  Why couple two basically different pieces
of equipment?

DT>I would like to know if anybody is using this setup ie. IDE Panasonic CD-ROM
DT>drive off a sound blaster 16.
DT>What is the performance of such a drive compared to a SCSI drive?

It will be _identical_.  The limitation is the data coming off the
CD-ROM, not the interface.

DT>The IDE Panasonic drive is supposed to be a double speed (or is that spin ?)
DT>drive. Apparently there is plans for a tripple speed IDE CD-ROM drive, but
DT>nobody know when it will be available.

Save your money for the time being... the triple and quadruple speed
drives currently are priced like Ferraris.  Wait until the pricing comes
down to earth... in the meanwhile, a double-speed (at a fraction of the
price) will probably do everything for you that you need to do.

DT>Are the IDE CD-ROM drives *a lot* slower than the SCSI drives - comparing
DT>apples with apples ie. IDE double spin vs SCSI double spin ?

Their speed is IDENTICAL.  Since the limitation comes from the drive,
and not from the IDE/SCSI interface.

DT>Will the IDE tripple spin be considerably faster than the double spin, and

50% improvement in speed, [only] for long sequential transfers.
Anything involving seeks will be about the same.

DT>any idea when it will be available (even other makes - not Panasonic) as I
DT>would like to know if it is worth waiting for or if I should take the plunge

...if you do it now, you're going to pay a PREMIUM price.  Wait for six
months or a year, and save $100-250 or more.

DT>and decide now which to buy IDE or SCSI.

I don't see much reason to pay more than the $150 or so that the
Panasonic drive costs, honestly.

I've just been working on just such a program, for the BBS I'm writing.
But, for example, one thing is that you don't want to have to search the
CD-ROM in real time... it makes much more sense to copy the description
files in advance to your hard drive.  And after that, it's not enough to
know the path, you also have to know on which disc the file in question
is found.

Also, many of the discs have one, unified file description file for the
whole disc, and not all of them have a uniform description of which
subdirectory on the disc they are describing the contents of.

So my program assumes you have one text file describing (group by group)
the subdirectories on one disc.  But it's REAL fast, it searches (by one
or more keywords or fragments of keywords, case insensitive), typically
in one or two seconds per disc.  You can give my program a file
containing the names of the discs to be searched (this makes it easy,
for example, to have certain users of a BBS be able to search some but
not all discs, for example not searching your adult discs).

I also didn't want to give users the fully qualified path to the file,
since (1) I want them to go through the appropriate mechanisms to get to
the files in question, and (2) I want them to see the whole searchable
filebase as a single, seamless space (I don't want them to see
individual discs).

JP>... and it would make it
JP>MUCH simpler for me when I am searching for files and don't know what
JP>directory structure the disc has.  A single search engine that work with
JP>all my discs which include FILES.BBS would save me quite a bit of time when
JP>I am looking for something, but don't necessarily know the filename.

Yup, once you get 50-70 discs, you HAVE to have such a global search
program, or you go crazy trying to find the program you're looking for.
That's why I wrote mine.  :-)

(The reason mine is so fast, by the way, is because I "cheat" by using
the super-fast and little-known AIM file access method that Datapoint
invented about 18 years ago).  :-)))))

There's now actually a pretty reasonable solution to this problem.  The
Cardinal SnapPlus VGA card can accept a SVHS (or composite or RGB) input
in either PAL or NTSC and output it to a NTSC video system (SVHS,
composite, RGB).  So once you set it up right, you can pump in PAL video
and get out NTSC output, all day long.  The board can be had for about
$750 (not all that high, as such clever video/multimedia boards go).

The quality is absolutely fine, I used two of them for the dual
videowall installation I put in last year onboard the cruise ship "m.s.
Maasdam" for Holland America Lines.

You can also control videodisc players, Sony VISCA VCRs (up to eight of
them!!!), as well as many different kinds of sound cards, using software
such as Tempra Media Author (the company making that product, which was
excellent, has since folded, unfortunately).

DR>    Panasonic is a marketing arm of Matsushito which is what your drive is.

Panasonic is a BRAND NAME of Matsushita Electr[on]ic Industrial Company,
the company that makes the drive.  It might be that your drive was sold
by Matsushita (Japan) to an OEM customer, and bypassed the Panasonic
USA distribution organization.  If so that would explain why Panasonic
USA wouldn't want to assume the warranty repair.  I suspect that they'd
be happy, in any case, to sell you the technical/repair manual for the
drive, and/or to sell you parts (or at least to refer you to the repair
center that sells the parts).  The warranty liability must go through
the OEM supplier (Creative Labs or whoever) who will undoubtedly
eventually filter it back to Matsushita in Japan.

You have to load one copy of the driver (in CONFIG.SYS) for each

For whatever it's worth, yesterday morning (June 29) I received into my
mailbox (here in Paris) two letters.  The first one from Bobigny, a
suburb maybe 5-10 miles north of Paris, was postmarked June 15th.  It
announced a computer product seminar to be held near Paris on June 28th.
The second one, from Montpellier (in the south of France) was postmarked
June 10th (and announcing a seminar to be held in Paris on June 21st).

So the US post office is not the worst.

Of course, there's the same kind of indifferent service and leisurely
attitude to taking care of people at the post office windows here too,
(just as in every other country in the world that I've ever visited).

The first CD-ROM drive I ordered (from a US supplier) never DID arrive
here.  After a month and a half, he sent a replacement... and I never
DID find out what happened to the first one (but I sincerely hope it
eventually found its way back to him).

BF>>I say nuke 'em and turn it over to private industry.

They're trying to move that way in the UK, but there's been a huge
uproar.  I think it's hard to imagine how it could be much less
efficient than it is today.

Union nonsense is only part of the problem.  They've still not broken
the "civil service" mentality, apparently.  They need to be able to boot

BF> I keep seeing figures that 85% or so of the post Office annual budget is fo
BF>paying their employees - despite their attempts to automate....

I don't object to paying people, as long as they're worth what they're
being paid.

The Post Office is still one of the best ways going to deliver the kinds
of small packets that we tend to send CD-ROMs in, and for those kinds of
lightweight packages it's by far the cheapest way per-megabyte to send
large volumes of information from one place to another.  I just wish
that there was a little bit (or a lot, preferably) of competition for
'em.

Yeah, they're trying to ensure that nobody gets "too much" out of it.
This kind of BS gets to me, too.  For example, I want to create an
indexed database to go from area-code-and-exchange to city-and-state.
In my case, what I plan to do is to use the simulation and benchmarking
product I wrote for the French Social Security to write a little "agent"
(via a script) which will enable me to have the computer display and
retrieve all these values, and then to write them (JUST the part I need)
to a disk file.  The program won't know that it's not me at the
keyboard... it's gonna be none the wiser.  (My program allows one to
write a script which includes conditional branching based on screen
contents and etc. and generates keystrokes to control the application).
I'll take the resulting database, sort it (using another SNOBOL4 program
I've written) and then filter out all the duplicates (yep, SNOBOL4
again) and finally generate a nice indexed database using FoxBase or
something.

It's a shame that the people who make these CD-ROMs seem to be of the
opinion that NOBODY could *possibly* want to use the data for anything
they hadn't already anticipated.

Hi Jim....if you need any other drivers for the Genstar...let me know
Ive still got the original install disk with the GSDCDROM or whatever on
it and the last I heard they had sold out to Satellite Shopping Network
who then couldnt figure out what these devices were so they dumped them to
flea market resellers for $10.00 apiece....I found 8 of them being sold
at $25 apiece in a flea market...bought one since I wasnt sure at the
time....came back an hour later and one of the other guys in town had bought
the rest....oh well   <g>

Hello All!

I would like to advise all buyers of CD's to please BEWARE of Mr. Brice
Fleckenstein.

Last April 15th, While I was in San Diego Calif, I called him via Phone and
discussed the purchase of several CD's.  He gave me the New Price's and during
the discussion, I ask him about shipping to an FPO address and told him that I
could NOT receive CD's via Fed Express or UPS.  He told me that he was aware of
that because he was at an FPO address before.

I then ask him about taking Credit Cards and he said not yet.  So I told him I
would place a check in the Mail that night for $136.00 for the Cd's plus
shipping.

I did send that letter and check that night.  It is now 7 July and I still have
not received the CD's here at my FPO Address.  He cashed the Check on 2 MAY.

I have sent him two letters via the US Mail, and also I sent him an Express
letter at a cost of $10.00 from here requesting that he do something.

I called his Voice Phone and left a message on it for him to let me know what's
going on, He did not bother to write or call me to tell me that they were
mailed and lost, he didnt mail or whatever.

I sent him several messages via NET mail to his Fidonet address, Still nothing.

I addressed two messages here in CD-Rom and CDROm-Sales area, he still didnt
bother to answer me.

He was told not only on the Phone but also in the Letter that the CD's MUST be
sent via US Air Mail.  Even if he made a mistake and sent via Ship, they would
have arrived by now.  Average time for ship is 30 days or less.

I have tried to be nice about this but he refuses to even bother to send me a
letter letting me know what's up, what did he do with my $136.00 that he
cashed.

I now plan to take out ads in all the Computer related magazines to let buyers
be aware of this guy.  He's a fraud.

If anyone else has information on this Guy, please fwd to my Node 6:731/16 via
NET mail and I will put a package together to present to his State Attorney
General.

Business like that we don't need, ripping off Sysop's.

He may feel that he has cheated me but in the end he will be the one suffering
when he has to pay more then the $136.00 out.

Bill

CC>AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!

A bit frustrated? <g>

CC>What kills the library guardian creature?  Steel? but what steel?

As soon as you enter the library head to the left as far as you can go
(you will have time to set down the lantern if you want). Then go all
the way to the right. At that corner you will come upon some kind of
trigger. Place the book that you got at the room down the all(near the
shooting arrow picture) on the trigger. It'll open a door to your left.
Get everything in the room and SAVE. Use the curvy dagger on the entity.
Oh yea, the reason to save is one of the books causes some strange
reactions. <g> Just save and you'll be fine.

CC>What operates the two triggering mechanisms?

I haven't played in a while soe remind me which room it is in and what
the triggers look like.

CC>What kills the large creature in the tunnel under the cellar?

Nothing can kill it, you'll have to find a different way in. (Hint:
Sword in the coat of arms)

CC>It is an interesting game.  I just happen to be stuck.
CC>AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!

There's that frustration again. <G> Just write back if you have any
other questions.

Kind of hard how to determine how to help ya, but maybe you need to load

you should try the MEMMAKER program...Just be sure you don't have a

There are two buffer setting right? One in MSCDEX, and another one with

ML>recognize the CD. Is there anything else I can try?

You did force the driver to see the address, correct?  I've seen it
happen on some other computers, so know that you're not alone.  I had
the problem and it fixed itself right up.  I was quite amazed by it.
Anyway, if you have the drivers loaded into the UMB's, take them out to
see how they do.  It may be a TSR/Device Driver conflict.  If you're
running a disk compression program, move the CD-ROM driver that loads
from the CONFIG.SYS over to the uncompressed portion of the hard drive
and make sure that the line in the CONFIG.SYS points to it.

If that doesn't work, please contact the Tech Support number documented
all over the manual you got with your kit.  I'll see what I can dig up
for you from our Research and Development department and get back to
you.

The 510 doesn't have any of the digital controls on the front and looks
like a normal drive.  The 500 has the LCD display, track forward,
play, stop, track backward and the rounded door.

Hello John!

Anno domini 03.07.94, John Swanland said 'bout "562-B and CDMKE.SYS"
the following...


JS>> > For some time I have been running a single Panasonic CR-562B
JS>> > on a WHD 7001C paddle card  There are no relevant jumpers on
JS>> > the card which is supposed to support 4 drives.
JS>> >

                                         ^^^^^^
Shouldn't only _one_ Portadress be used, since it's only _one_ card?
I suppose "/P:" stands for Portadress... right?
And an other thing makes me wonderin' also... Doesn't your driver
"CDMKE44.SYS" support an optional parameter for the number of driveunits?
If it does, you only need _one_ entry in your config.sys file. Sorry, I
don't know that specific Panasonic driver, so I might be wrong, but
shouldn't they all work somehow the same way...

JS>> > Any ideas out there???
Yes, as you can see above... O8-)))

I believe the Mitsumoi drive is adequate to transfer the video rate, because I
know others who have this drive and have no problems with the video.  How do I
disable the cache.  I am using SMARTDRIVE, in its default.  I donot have any
other programs running when I execute the programs with video.  I have the
TRIDENT IMPACT SVGA video card with 1mb of video and I am running a 386/DX40mhz
that I believe shoudl be fast enough.  Let me know if you have any other
suggestions.  I appreciate the help you are sending out.

go out and get me a faster video card, mayve an acellerator card might do the
trick.

Hi Jeff,

Yes, Matrox Marvel II has a digital video expansion bus.
Keep in mind that Matrox Marvel II is a MPEG playback

appears like TV quality.  MPEG playback is available as
an optional add on card for the Philips CD-I player and
is on the ReelMagic card for the PC.

This card decompress MPEG video as data leaves a CD-Rom
drive.  It's resolution is 640 x 480 and has full screen
motion.  ReelMagic can play back Philips CD-I Digital
Video.

        Gordon, this is one issue that has been a problem with the echo since
its start back in..... '87.  (or somewhere along there..)  As far as I am
concerned (from a moderator standpoint) the ads need to go to CDROMFORSALE,
but not every nation carries it....
        According to rumor, it is on the backbone, but some sysops just don't
want to pull it in....

GP> crowded and chaotic ten-line posts.  But I concur fully with the
GP> complaints about all the duplicate postings, I think commercial
GP> sellers
        My opinion, (Yes, free to all :-)  )   is if you can't write something
in ten lines, include a phone number to call, then you have no business
writing ads anyway.  Ten lines is plenty to stimulate the mind of the
potential customer, encouraging them to place a phone call to request a
catalog, etc.
        So many of the dealers have just abused the rules, and it is getting
out of hand.

It's now issued monthly. I just received the third issue last week. Pitty about
the heavily Brittish bias, although it's a nice change from the heavy American
bias of the other mags...    ;-)

I disagree with you there. When I want to look at something from one of the
back issues, I just pop the CD in the drive and browse. No need to make room
on my HD and uncompress a whole lot of stuff for a quick look. (You mean _you_
've got *FREE* space on your hard disk!!!).  When I'm finished, no need to
erase anything on the HD to regain the room...

Just my opinion.

There are a few services around to which you can send your files or
backup tapes, etc., and they'll put them on CD-ROM for you...if
memory serves me right, it runs around $65-$90 a CD-ROM. Look in the
CD-ROM echoes for this...this looks like an ideal use of one of these
to me.

    I just bought one and I like it.  CR-563 CD and a SB 16. The kids love the
games and encyclopedia should come in handy.  I highly recomend it.  I paid
399.99 for mine at Radio Shack.

Yes, 16-bit is CD quality sound.  It will sound much better.  (If you
play back 16-bit sample..  if you play back 8-bit sample, then it will
sound the same.. )  And it let you record in 16-bit CD quality.

Hello, Michael..

  You have a DX-50 or DX2-50.  If you have a DX-50, it means that you
are running at 50Mhz internally and externally.  So there is no way you
can over clocking the CPU..  (hey, it is 50Mhz already..)

  About the cache for your CD-ROM.. since you are running DOS 6.2, you
should be able to use the SmartDrv to cache your CD-ROM.  Remember to
load the SmartDrv after you load up your CD-ROM driver and mscdex.exe.

When you said "the Microsoft drver", do you mean the "MSCDEX.EXE" file

one that came with DOS 6.2 would be newer.   I think is version 2.23 or
something like that..

You need a faster CPU and an accelerator video card.  An accelerator

I would say that it is a good idea.  Get a pre-configured multimedia

mess with all those DMA, IRQ stuffs..

I am using a Gateway 2000 486 VLB.  It is a nice company.  And their new
computer (I think, starting June or July, I think it is June) now carry
3 years warranty.  Which makes it even better.

Yes, SCSI is definitely a good choice!

And for your problem about the audio cable, could it be the cable?
Because I know that my cousin was having problem (like what you are
having now) simply because the mail order company sent him the wrong
cable.  The connector for each sound cards are different.  So you might
want to check that.  That's all I can think of..

I am using a Toshiba X3401 SCSI-II CD-ROM with my ProAudio Spectrum 16.
So a SCSI-II CD-ROM should work with PAS, but it just won't be able to
take all the adventage of SCSI-II, that's all.  But for a CD-ROM, I
guess it is OK.  (If you plan to get a SCSI-II hard drive, then you

Before you do anything to your autoexec.bat and config.sys files, back
them up first.  Put them in a temp directory or something.. but save
them.

Now, remove anything that is not necessary.  (For example, some
antivirus TSR or something like that..)  Only leave the driver for sound
card and CD-ROM.

Now, run MemMaker or whatever software that you use to optimize the
conventional memory.

After you done that, you can copy the autoexec.bat and config.sys file
to a floppy.  And you can restore the autoexec.bat and config.sys files
that you backed up.

Good news...call the Software Toolworks BBS.  The number should be in
your MegaRace book.  They have a patch for the SB16 that fixes the
problem.  Makes it sound awesome !!!

 MSD had a bad habit of being unable to get half or so of the titles they
carried for a MONTH or more at a time - which appears to have contributed
greatly to their in-process demise.

 When 90% or so of the titles I carry are regularly stocked by my LOCAL (less
than hour drive away) distributors, it means a lot more than you THINK. Even
American usually gets me my orders on a "next day" basis via UPS ground -
occasionally taking 2 days....

 Which basically just turns the Sega into a CD-ROM drive. This does NOT count

back.

I purchased (mail order) from MEI/Micro Center (1-800) 634-3478 their
Double-Speed CD Rom, (Generic).. It is in fact the Matsushita 562-x model It
cost $167.97 separate, with the Interface card $189.97  That would make it
$22.00 for the card.  I do not know if they sell the card seperatly?  It works
great for my BBS.  I opted for the package deal (interface card), I found this
to be the *Best* for my system, since it's capacity is 682 mb. Give them a
call to find out if they sell the card by itself. Shipping and handling was
only $5.25......And it has a 1 year warranty.

Hi Marcus,

MR> Could anyone tell me what is the best CD encyclopedia? I am looking
MR> for something with a lot of text informations. I don't care about
MR> songs and movies.

I posed this question some time back and the overwhelming response was
Campton's Home Encyclopedia.  It has lots of information which is quite
detailed compared to the other ones in the market.

However, you can get the Enclyclopedia Britannica on CD-ROM.   That's a
single CD-ROM with all 44,000,000 words of Britannica.  Only $1767
though :)

By pressing the ~ key you can fly backwards, the enemy cannot get a

You may have to try a few times before you get it, but believe me I

Make sure you hold the ~ key down until the green bar above the view

Well, it could be your CD ROM drive is too slow.  Or the Trident card.  I
had both a baseline CDROM and a Trident at one time, and together they
were kinda slow..  Now I've got a NEC doublespin CDROM and a Boca
accelerated card and everything's almost 100% perfect.  So, unless you
upgrade (particularly the CDROM) then it will help..  If your Mitsumi
is already a higher capability drive, then consider and upgrade to a faster
video card.  Hope this helps...

     Ok Chris,  I will try to help anyway.  I recently came across some
     installation instruction for 3.12.  Unfortunatly,  I don't remember
     which version you are using.  The instruction for 3.12 are very
     similar to 4.01 so I guess it will probably work or it will get you
     on the right track.

     1) Load the Netware Driver for your hard disk controller.
     2) Load the ASPI driver for your hard disk controller.
     3) Load the CDROM.NLM
     4) Go to the server prompt and type CD ROM N (Where N is the
        drive number of the CD).

     Let me know what happened.

Dunno about 2.0, but with versions 2.1 or 2.11 you need to get a file called
sbcd2.zip (providing you have a Soundblaster I guess, which most people do) and
then follow the instructions - it's pretty straight forward.

You should be able to find this file on any BBS with a half decent collection
of OS/2 files.

Well i've had a similar problem playing the demo of the game on cd-rom,
and encountered the problems you did.
The result:  Well i unplugged my joystick and ran it again and all was
fine. The joystick was a cheap quickshot bought from k-mart.

Solution:  Buy yourself a new joystick,i've heard the super warrior from
quickshot is supposed to get rid of this problem.

I bought Nova Logic Wolfpack CD. I have a problem. Even the game said it
supported Sound Blaster but I could not get it working. I have tested it
on Sound Blaster ver 2, SB Pro and SB 16 bits. The game works but there
were no sound. If I selected Adlib, it then worked. However Adlib is an
inferior card than SB.
If you have a solution or a patch, can you PLEASE let me know or attached

IMHO, no! I would recommend that you instead invest the extra
money in more memory, faster graphics or cdrom titles. I am VERY
happy with my 486dx33, 32M ram, TsengLab EvaW32 graphics, NEC 3D
monitor, SBPro, NEC73M (double speed) and Sound Canvas, and believe
that if you want to upgrade past the SBPro, you should go to a card
with sampled sounds, such as the Roland SC7 or SCC1, Gravis
Ultrasound or Turtle Beach.

Hope this helps

Also how did you go fixing the poor sound you were getting?
Hope to hear from you soon.

I have a Micro Byte PC230 sx computer which was working OK the last time I
used it, which was a long time ago.
I decided to turn it on today and of course the battery had gone flat,
losing all the CMOS settings.

Now when it boots, I get the message 'Unable to control A20 line' and
HIMEM.SYS doesn't load.

I don't think I have missed any CMOS setting.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,
Bert

I have a similar setup but with a sony 33a (double speed cd rom).  So
the first thing I would say to do is upgrade to dos 6.2 and use the
'smartdrive cache'  program or buy 'Lightning' CD Cache and cache the
cdrom drive.  Also though most motion video works ok only with a double
speed drive with an onboard cache.

Hope this helps.
                    Later,


P.S.  Make sure you are using 640 x 480 w. 256colors mode any higher
resolution and the Trident is just too slow.

MR>You miss the (natural) point entirely!  The 'quantity' (bytes, I

Ah, I do understand the quality of ASP shareware.  Of this, I do not doubt.
I am not looking specifically for "5,000 titles", I am simply curious as to
the approximate quantity of ASP shareware on this disk.

The reason for this being that no matter how good it is, if there is too
little of it, my users will simply download all of it, and it will outlive
its usefullness a little too quickly.

However, I would assume there is a decent amount on this disk .. therefore,
I am interested <grin>.  Where do I get it?  Thanks very much .. LLAP!

Hi!

  I have a Sony CD-Rom drive and a Mistsumi CD-Rom drive. I'm trying to get
both of them to work together however it doesn't seem to want to work!
Right now I have my Mitsumi CD-Rom controler card and the controler/sound card
for the Sony CD-Rom drive. I have asigned each a device name and have used the
mscdex set-up for both of them....I used the mscdex software that came with the
Sony to set-up the Sony drive and the mscdex software that came with the
mitsumi to set up the mitsumi. The sony drive is recognized but the Mitsumi is
not. I have tried to force a drive letter on each drive but this does not work
either. Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I can try?

                        Cheer-I/O!

 Hi there!!

 I  saw a message you wrote to some guy about the problems with his

 soundcard. I bought a Mitsumi 2x speed and an sb16 basic with Mitsumi

 interface and i am having a simular problem with hissing sound and lots

 of background noises. So i checked the pin connections and they are as

 follows:    Sb16 CD-IN Connector (j1)        Mitsumi Line Out Connector

             -Pin1  Ground                    -Pin1  Right Channel
             -Pin2  CD Left Channel           -Pin2  Ground
             -Pin3  Ground                    -Pin3  Left Channel
             -Pin4  CD Right Channel          -Pin4  Ground

 Do they have to match and if yes how do you change pins on a connector?
 Is there any risk i am taking while doing it? (like the sound card can be
 damaged if incorrectly done or whatever)

                                        Dalibor

        Cameron, I purchased the same kit and have had no problems with
        it.  It acts juust like any other single speed drive, save for
        the 375ms access time. (fast for a single speed drive)  My kit
        has the Phillips drive.

Good luck, let me know how you do.

Atari-Game-classics? (Or what does it include)

Hello there everybody!

Since I didn't get any answer on my last message (maybe cause a
HUB here in Sweden had some problems) I'm posting a similar
message again.

I'm having some problems with my sound. I have a Mitsumi FX001D
(CD) connected to a SoundBlaster Pro, and the problem I have is
with sound-effects.

When I'm playing a game from CD or HD/DD I get a large buzzzz in
the background. But this doesn't happened with music, only with
sound-effects, and it doesn't happened when I try SBP-TEST.EXE
that comes along with SB-Pro, it only seems to happened when
something on the screen is moving.

For example I'm having problems with Mad Dog McCree and The 7'th
Guest which are CD-Games, and for example DOOM that I play from
the harddisk.

I have my SB connected to IRQ 10 and my CD to IRQ 11 (I think).

Does anybody have a clue what the problem might be?

Greetings / Peter Larsson

Don't worry its the same for everyone, try looking for the patch on some of
your local BBS's, if the worst comes to the worst here is a spoiler


Spoiler


when the intro starts up and the lucas arts logo is shown, push forward
back left right on joystick press the fire button once each time you should
hear 'lucas arts' being said to you in a funny voice. from now on press
shift = to reduce damage done to you and escape to move to the next
chapter. Numbers 1 through to 9 and several letters a onwards will get you
to specific chapters.

Have fun

What was the problem, I have an A570 and have had no problems!

Did you know you can boot the  Amiga Userc CD on the A570 by having a disk
in DF0: and holding down the two mouse buttons and selecting drive
CD0: to boot from.

John you only need one line in the config.sys
And the jumpers are on the back of the drive
They are numbered from 0 to 4 Set the first drive
at 0 the next at 1 and so on....That's all you should
have to do next time you boot your system should pick
up the drive all by itself...One more thing you might have
to change your lastdrive drive statement and add another
letter for each drive

    I just bought one and I like it.  CR-563 CD and a SB 16. The kids love the
games and encyclopedia should come in handy.  I highly recomend it.  I paid
399.99 for mine at Radio Shack.

If you are really gonna buy anything nowadays go to a computer show
An example of the savongs: I just bought a panasonic CR-563 for $125.00
and an SB16 multi-CD card for $135.00 regularly seen in stores for
$199.00 each. The whole kits you could probably save $100.00

Most every SCSI 2 CD-ROM will work with your card.  If you want a list of

at [phone].  They have a listing of all the CD-ROMs that are
compatible with their cards, along with the correct drivers.

    I'm a sysop too and would like to know where you can get single spin
drivers for $70..  Are these proprietary controllers?  Can one buy one at a
time to slowly build up their board?  I have a Pioneer six disk changer and 1
Mitsumi and 1 DS Panasonic.  Single speed is all I need for a bbs and would be
interested in where you get them and does the price include the card and how
many drives can you run off the one card?

Thanks..

Just a reminder to keep an eye out for that new release of Select Phone.  As
soon as you find out it has been released,  I'll need you to contact me so I
can place my order to you.  It might even be out now.  Just not sure.  In other
words, keep this message on file, so that you can remember to let me know.  My

SCDoes anybody know when teme park is due to be released?
SCI've seen some screenshots on CNN and found it very nice looking...
SCAlso when is Wing commander III out?
SCI could go on for hours like this...
SCe.g. 11th Hour, Under a Killing Moon, Rise of the Robots, etc, etc, ...


Theme Park is already released. WCIII is supposed to be out for
Christmas, but knowing Origin, I would say Xmas 96 probably. The latest
dates for 11th Hour and Under a Killing Moon are Late Aug or Early Sep.
I haven't heard anything on Rise of the Robots.

the easiest thing to do in your case is go to the ROOT of the CD and
type


DIR *.* /A /S

that lists ALL the files and then gives you the totals..

an interesting thing would be to "Pipe" that LIST to a .TXT file.. like
this
    (Let's assume your cd-rom is E:)

E:\>DIR *.* /A /S >C:\TEMP\CDFILES.TXT

That example requires you to have a directory
C:\TEMP .. but that also gives you the FILE LIST in .TXT format

Well BEING a SYSOP i have to say:


    WHY THE HELL WOULD ANYONE BUY A QUAD SPIN CD-ROM FOR A BBS!

    Your users won't CARE one bit if it take 15 seconds for their files
to come off the cd or if it takes 60 seconds. (and if you have it set up
to d/l FROM THE CD-..  well.. 150k / sec is ~40 times faster than the
MODEM can support..

   I find it much easier to just get a multi-disc single spin (like the
SONY) for about $500-$600.

    The only REAL need for a MULTI-SPIN is for "THE USER" of the
computer.. (I.e. Multi-media presentations, games like myst and
ravenloft: strahd's possesion)..

Jack,
    From my personal experience with the NEC-CD roms I have to tell you
that I am NOT IMPRESSED. I used CD-benchmark and the 3x reports a
throuhput of only 320k/sec and my Panasonic cr-562a gets 308k/sec.

I didn't believe the report by cd-bench so i did it the old fashioned
way.

(I copied a Shipload of files and timed it.) .. the nec only did about
5-10% better (confirming cd-bench's report)..

    IF YOU WANT SOME ADVICE!  WAIT ON BUYING YOUR CD-ROM

Panasonic is coming out with a new 4X and an 8X  the 4x is supposed to
run ~275-325 retail...

Well there is a singer in the bar you might wanna try to get her drunk.
 To get the beer you'll need the beer in the servants quarters.  For
this you'll need to sabatoge Al's Cart.  Al has a flashlight and you'll
need its batteries for the gal in the mud bath.  Go to the mud bath and
move the camera to distract the guard at the guard gate.  Go to the
guard gate and you should now be able to swipe the handcuffs from him.
Take the handcuffs to the gal in the weight room.  And she'll invite
you to her room.  That you 'll have to find (hint it'll be one of the
last ones LEFT) once in there watch out she likes it rough ( I suggest
the little ones aren't around for that part if ya have any)  When ya
wake up you'll need to see the aerobics instructor...try and do some
aerobics on the empty stool.  Then talk to her a lot.  She should give
you her ID badge.  Don't forget to give the batteries from the gal in
the mud bath.

Now go to the far right and use the ID badge and get
some beer.  Now...go the the bar and "accidentally" bump the plug to
her mic then give her the beer it might take another trip to the
servants quarters then she should go to the back and change her dress.
Steal the dress and now you have the dress for that one girl  Go to the
mud bath in the swim trunks and in the confusion you'll be able to grab
something very expensive.  You'll need that for later.

Good luck!

Hi yes I did. I had sound fine from the card. It was just that in some cases
it would break up when using hyper guide and listing to some of the audio
clips. I replaced by 8 bit sound card, with a Sound Blaster 16 bit with ASP
and it works fine same  sound cable as b4 used. So It seems the 8 bit card was
at fault.  Thnks again

Simple.  Who do you want to decide what you can read, write or sell?
You or somebody that believes they have "your & societies" best interest
at heart.  I for one... would rather decide for myself what I read,
write, or sell... instead of leaving it up to someone, or some body
politic to decide.  Censorship is BAD, has always been BAD, and will
continue to be BAD... whenever (and whereever) it rears its ugly head.

Let what ever GOD you believe in... save us from this type of self
rightous "witch hunt" type of stuff.  We only need look at the history
of censorship worldwide (regardless of the form, or reasons justifying
it)... to know ITS BAD.  The bottom line is... if your over 18, you
should decide what you will read, write or sell... provided of course
that it does not dirrectly harm anyone (forget about all that pie in the
sky indirrect causal relationship garbage... as "RIGHTS" should be given
more weight).

John

The only Encyclopedia I have used is Comptons. It did have a lot of text but it
also had a good number of pictures and sound clips. It was nt nearly as good as
hardback book encyclopedias such as World Book. For the price (about 100 bucks,
I think) you really get your money's worth.

ML>Ok...I give up...can someone give me a HINT as to how I figure out the
ML>4-symbol code in the Mechanical Age?

    First you need to turn the middle Island that the bridge leads you
to.  Remember those books that you read at the library?  It says that there
are 2 other islands.  What you do is to get into the elevator and go
straight to the top.  Press the buttom down and step out the elevator
before it goes down.  You will have the controls that's on top of the
elevator when it comes down.  Just mess will the handles like the hologram
and it turns the island to the other islands.  In those each 2 of those
islands will be half of the 4 symbol codes.  Good luck!  Oh, you get the
elevator to open by pressing the red buttom on the wall then go down.  Use
the handles until the symbol turns diferent a color.  Go up and then press
the buttom to close the stairs and you will see the entrance of the
elevator inside the post/column.   -Duc

 *** Quotin' Brian Dhatt to David Towe ***
 *** 'bout IDE CD-ROM DRIVE ***

Hi Brian

 BD> Firstly, the interface isn't really IDE, it's proprietary to these
 BD> Panasonic drives.  I've run a Panasonic 562 off of a SoundBlaster Pro
 BD> with good results. It performs nicely.  The drive is as fast as
 BD> comparable SCSI models (same data transfer rate and access time).
 BD> The Panasonic 562 is down to $129 US at some sources, so it's
 BD> definitely a bargin.  Nice drive, nice price.

Do you know how much it costs to send me this to Brazil? How
do I pay? how is the shipping?

Thanks and sorry for anything!

                        []S, Julio CHICRE

Can anyone please update me on the merits of going SCSI with the CDrom?  I
understand that it might be a little faster in terms of access speed but is it
worth the extra cost?

As well, my present IDE HD with an IDE controller would probably not support a
SCSI device so what can I do if I decide to go SCSI with the CDrom?

Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Kenneth

   I didn't see that in the thread... it was whether such a beast
   existed to wit you replied simply that there was not, there is, however
   as I stated I am not a Sega guru, and only looked at the specs briefly
   when xmas shopping, knew that such an attachment was avaible for using
   the sega CD with a PC in lieu of purchased a regular MPC unit. As
   I stated above, the  unit is for making the Sega CD unit compatible
   with the PC and to run COMPUTER CD DISKS when it is hooked up to
   a computer.

   I think that we've beaten this thread to death ad whoever orignally
posted hasn't bothered to acknowledge either us.. hahaha.. so we're
   both wasting our breath unless "the dude" ran down to Egghead's or
   Electronic Boutique finally to scope it out for himself. :)

Try this when the game is starting IE: death star is being displayed.

Push joystick UP and press fire button
Pull joystick BACK and press fire button
Push joystick to the LEFT and press fire button
Push joystick to the RIGHT and press fire button

The game should respond with a BRRINGG sound and voices will say
LUCAS ARTS.
The following are the cheats.

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Done on numeric keypad!!!!!!!!)
+ will remove all damage
- will add damage (?? I don't know why anyone would do this ??)

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Done on normal keys!!!!!!!!!!!!)

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,a,s,d,f,g pressing any of these keys will
warp you to the different levels.

Enjoy

I think its MPC 2 compliant because it has a 300K plus data transfer
rate. In my case its like 307K as measured by my benchmark cd tester.
As far as having only 32K cache, I have not noticed any major problems
only with some video segments of some games, but overall good. Although
I thinking about getting a 3X drive by year's end. Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply, I tried setting up the unit (Philips 205) using DMA and
NON-DMA, I also tried using QAPLUS to find what ports and IRQ's were used by
the system. It stated that DMA Channels 0,1,3,5,6,7 were Available and IRQ's 3,

the higher setups.

Thanks for your help,

Yip:

Yes, I have two floppies, two hard drives and a cd-rom in my box. There is
no reason to think you can't do the same. The drive will probably have to
something other that an IDE drive. Get one that plugs into the sound card
or into a SCSI interface.

I have the Gateway multimdia kit and was wondering if there were any new
drivers out for it? The dates on the disk are 10 and 11/93. I updated the
MSCDEX to 2.23 but what about the sound card? Anything new available?

 How do I disable the cache.  I am using SMARTDRIVE

 Add /u to the driver statement to disable the CD cache.

Try copying the file to hard disk and see how it plays from there. If it
plays back fine, you know where to look.

Let me know how it goes.

I've checked my manuals now, and for my SB and CD the pins config are:

           SB                             CD
------------------------         ---------------------
Pin 1 : Ground                   Pin 1 : Right Channel
Pin 2 : CD Left Channel          Pin 2 : Ground
Pin 3 : Ground                   Pin 3 : Left Channel
Pin 4 : CD Right Channel         Pin 4 : Ground

Not a single one is alike!
But then, I started thinking, if you take the CD's pins in reverse order it
matches the SB. I thought that it might become reverse or alike when you
connect your CD to your SB.

Sorry about my REALLY lousy english, hope you can help me anyway!

   Hi Daryl,

   Do you have the audio cable connected from the drive to the sound
   card?  Is MMPM installed?

   If yes to both, it should play through the Compact Disc icon.

thanks but no thanks.  Decided to buy internal, then buy a case for my 5.25"
floppy.  total cost: $200  $150 for the cd-rom, $50 for the case.  This is a
really great deal though, a little sooner, and I would've snatched it up.
thanks anyway,
Nathan Lewis

A friend of my told me that the result is better than before, you can try it
but make sure don't mix up the wiring, use a needle or a small pin to lift the
lock of the connector( do not pull too hard on the wires), if you have any
friend who works in electronic field, ask him/her to help you out if you are
not sure about it.OK? let me know the result...ciao

     Yes, but HD has nothing to do with installing the CD ROM, provided
     you have a 51/4" slot for the drive and a expansion slot on the MB
     empty for the cntr card or the sound card, unless you hace SCSI
     interface for the drives already, you need a SCSI CD ROM.

    I think that I already wrote you a message about that.  But just in
case, go to the elevator and go to the very top floor.  Press the buttom to
go back down but step out the door before it goes down.  Everything there
is easy to figure out.
    Do me a favor, don't buy the hint book because it will make the
game worthless.  Just think about the clues and look around.  Remember,
most of the clues I found was thanks to the sorounding views.

    I could be reached at [phone].  Be at your computer to save
money.  But that's only if you really need me.
    To open the rocket door, you need to turn on it's switch next to
it.  Then on the map at the Library, turn the red line to point at it until
it turns from white to red.  Go up the secret library tower.
    Next, go up the ladder with the key symbol behind the elevator.
You will see a number.  I won't tell you what it is but it is the voltage
that you have to input into the rocket to make it open.
    Remember the number and then go to the underground door across the
cabin.  Punch in the buttons to make BOTH meter the same as the voltage
power.  If you mess up, pull the switches on top of the telephone poles
near the coast lines outside.  Should be 2 post.  Good luck, by the way, I
think that this is the hardest level so far!  Don't by the hint book, it
will ruin the game!  Just think it through.  It's possible, I proved it.

 I can send the CD for $16.00 via airmail. That would bring your total

 you may want to look at adding two more selections to your list in

                   FTC Governs Mail Order
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has extended its consumer protection
rules for mail-order sales to include purchases by phone or fax.
  Effective March 1, 1994, consumers who buy by phone or fax will get
added protection regarding shipping deadlines, delay notices,
cancellation rights and refunds.
According to FTC rules, a vendor must be able to provide reasonable
evidence it can ship a product within the time promised in an
advertisement.  If no time period is specified, the rule creates an
implied period of 30 days.  That 30 day period starts when the vendor
receives the order. After 30 days, if a vendor does not, or cannot,
ship the product, it must notify the consumer of the delay and provide
a new shipping date.  At that time, the vendor must also give the
consumer the option to cancel the order and receive a refund instead.
The rules also specify that cancellations must be made at the vendor's
expense; the vendor must provide an 800-number or postage-paid postcard.
Companies that fail to comply with the new rules can be fined up to
$10,000 per violation.  These new rules apply only to merchandise,
not services.  All complaints should be addressed to:

Hi. I don't think I've ever talked to you before, but that's okay. I just added
a CD-ROM (Toshiba 3401B) to my system about a week ago. I already had a Por
Audio Spectrum sound card which I used as the SCSI interface. Everyone says
that the multimedia upgrade kits are a lot easier tro install, but I still
think you'll get a better CD-ROM drive if you buy it and the sound card
seperately. I got mine running in about 30 minutes (I had to move some floppy
drives). I say buy them seperately, but it's your choice. I think all the
drives packaged in the MediaVision/Creative Labs upgrade kits are all OEM
drives from people like Panasonic. Hope I was of service. Bye!

Hello All!

I would like to know what Creative labs "Digital Edge 3X"
costs were you live!

Please send me some info about this!
The reason that i want to know just about the "Digital Edge 3X" is simple.
With the information I get I can see how much more expensive it is to by
it in Sweden.

So if you like, you can also send the name and adress of the place you
got the price!

Thanx.

my internet adress is: [e-mail]

Drew,
I can't agree with you more about the single speed multichangers for BBS
use. I think you misread my message. I was responding to a guy who was
asking more than the retail costs for a 604x. My response was that they
were cheaper than that unless he was asking Canadian dollars and not US
dollars. I personally wouldn't buy a multispeed for a BBS unless it was
1) a GREAT deal 2) had to have another one and the only thing available
was a multispin.

-> Hello Everybody out there,
-> Got a question down here, can I install a CD-ROM into my system if I
-> have 2 harddisk?

Hmm... why not???

What kind of system do you got?

If you use SCSI hard disk, then you can hook up 7 SCSI devices
(supposely).  So after your 2 SCSI hard drive, you can add 3 more hard
drive, and 2 more CD-ROM drives.. <g>

If you use the regular IDE hard drive, then "usually", you can not add
any more IDE hard drive.  (Some IDE controller supports up to 4 IDE hard
drives.. and the new Enhanced IDE, usually supports 4 or so..)  But, you
can add CD-ROM as you want...  if you want to add a SCSI CD-ROM, then
you will need to get a SCSI adapter, or a sound card that has a SCSI
interface on it.  (Media Vision, Creative Lab, .. etc.  they all make
one..)

  If you want to add other kind of CD-ROM, then as long as you can get
an interface for it, it will be NO problems..

  OK, so you might not have any expansion slots left (hmm, it is
possible <g>)  you can still add a CD-ROM to your serial or parallel
port (an external one).. there are parallel-to-SCSI converter out
there..

  Any way, you can add CD-ROM..

Hello, Kenneth..

   SCSI is a little bit faster?  Well, I don't know about it.  I guess
it will depends on the drive.  (You can get a really slow SCSI CD-ROM if
you want to.. that's what I mean.)

  Your IDE controller probably won't support IDE CD-ROM drive.  (How old
is your computer?)  The new Enhanced IDE controller, however, does
support the new IDE CD-ROM drive..

   I would recommend you to get a SCSI-II CD-ROM.  There are a lot of
them on the market.. those from NEC (the 3Xi, 3Xe.. 4X Pro.. etc..),
Toshiba (X3401.. that's the one I have..), and Plexter (spelling.
Former Texel)..

  If you don't have a SCSI controller, you can either get a SCSI
controller, or get a sound card that has a SCSI interface in it.  (Media
Vision, Creative Lab.. they all make one.)  For example, I use my
SCSI-II CD-ROM with my Media Vision ProAudio Spectrum 16.  It is OK to
use the SCSI interface on the sound card if you are only going to use
CD-ROM on it.  But if you want to use SCSI hard drives, then you might
want to get a dedicated SCSI-II controller on your fastest bus.  (Like
VESA, EISA, or PCI.)

Hi there!!

Thanks for the reply.

I will try the thing you wrote me about but i have one more question.

Does your CD-rom drivemake any noises or any sounds when reading a cd?

A few days ago i ran some sort of a benchmark program on it and since then

the drive makes a high pitch sound when accessing a cd.(when the lite comes on)

Is this ok or is it a problem?

My company is distributing Japanese CD ROM's in the US.  We are looking
for a number of quality high quantity distributors.

Our titles include:

Samurai Pervert Interactive
    A truly interavtive adult experience. Uncensored Director's Cut.
    XXX - Japanese Import, but girl speaks some English! Dress
    up the beautiful Japanese girl in a traditional Kimono, party girl
    , or business suit outfit and watch her personality change. Dressing
    her in the Kimono transports you to ancient times when Samurai had
    their way with women.  She will offer you a cup of tea and ask
    what you would like to do with her.  What happens next is up to
    you. Decide where to touch, and change angles of view
    in real time!
     XXX, Hybrid Mac and PC compatible, uses exclusive Crystal
    Vision technology

Superstars of Japanese Porn
    Virtually visit a Japanese video store and choose a movie
    to see by seeing the actual video box.  This title is exactly
    in the format as it was released in Japan.  Therefor it is
    censored using the mosaic blurr method.  If you didn't know
    squinting defeats this method of censorship!

Other titles on the way.

To order, contact your favorite Mail order or retail outlet.

For dealer Inquiries, contact A6 Inc. at 714-773-5412 714-773-0562 fax

If you could suggest dealers to contact, I would appreciate it.

Hi all,
Does anybody know of any companies, services, or users who can transfer
3.5" floppies onto CD's ? I would like to transfer a private collection
onto the more reliable CD-ROM media. As I live in Brisbane, anything
local would be appropriate (no good travelling to Perth with my
200-300 diskettes under my arm). Does anybody know if a CDROM writer
can be rented or leased for a week/month ?

Hi Jon,I am also playing the Journeyman Project.I am not yet up to the
mines.Do you mean the Marx Maze,because on the hints sheet I got with my
Cdrom there is a question that says In the Marx Maze,I keep running out of
time. The answer says : If the computer or cd rom is slow,then you should
use the keyboard for quicker response.If you need them the exact directions
for each intersection to leave the maze is: L,R,R,L,L,go to the end then
R,L,L,R,R,1st R,L,R,jump in.
I hope that helps you.

Hi Eric,well my computer hasn't melted yet :) but I will buy a proper
heatsink /fan combination soon.I  forgot all the extra benefits that going
to 40Mhz provides as well.Such as an increase in graphics throughput
from my VLB graphics card and about 300k/sec extra harddrive throughput
from my VLB IDE card, which is now peaking at 2.8Mb/sec. I have 256K
cache (which is the max) so I think I have squeezed the maximum performance
I can out of it unless I overclock it further to 50Mhz. :)  . What a
braindead idea that would be but I have read that people have done that.

See ya.
 Tony.

Thanks for replying Jason,

JN> SL> I want to know if it is possible to get movie cd's like that on The
JN> SL> Amiga cd-32?
JN> SL> If so what sort of hardware would i need,the cost involved etc.

JN>        Yes, from what I have seen running, you'd need a fast PC and
JN>        a Reel Magic card, which is around $699 AUS at the moment.

JN>         Apparently there is a range of other cards coming out
JN>        soon, but I haven't heard much about them.

You say a fast computer i've got a 486sx 33 , Fast enough?
I'll wait til' some magazines review some of them.

JN>        Yep, you need a CD-ROM drive, but I think the Reel Magic
JN>        card has a built-in 16 bit sound card.

I have heard about conflicts with the sound card built in,They do have a
version without the sound card.

JN>        Well if you've seen a CD-32 in action, prepare to be
JN>        disappointed. Reel Magic is only in 32768 cols opposed
JN>        to 256k on the CD-32 and has a lower resolution. From
JN>        the demos I've seen, the quality is OK when only a
JN>        small part of the picture is moving, but when there is
JN>        a pan across a room, for example where the whole screen
JN>        must be updated, there is a slight blurring every so
JN>        often, which is suppose is more to do with the PC's
JN>        graphics limitations than the card's fault.

You would need a fast VESA card then to run them properly?
Or does it somehow bypass the display card with the interface on the
display Cards. I can't remember what that interface was called.

JN>        Personally, I'd wait until a few more vendors enter the
JN>        market, then things may improve.

Well they way things are going with pc's now it won't be too far off.

Thanks again Jason.

Hi Eric,

EJ>Really?  Reel Magic's resolution is not high enough...  from Reel
EJ>Magic's ad on computer magazine, they claims it will support
EJ>1024x768 resolution.  Oh, and it supports 65k color.  30 fps.  The MPEG
EJ>compression is suppose to be 200:1 ratio...  that sounds pretty good to
EJ>me!

Although the resolution will be up to 1024x768 and 65k colours , they
only capture the image like 320x200 so if you make that full screen the
image will be very blocky, If looked at from a distance it smooths
out,like that on Return to Zork.

Mpeg compression is 200:1 that seems to be a bit too much, maybe they
could cut that down to 100:1 or 50:1 to improve picture quality maybe
at 640x480.

Thanks for your input on the subject Eric.

Regards
Steven

a) I think that new RAR (Russian Archiver, veeeery goood) can solve problem. It
has built in user interface which looks like Norton Commander, and can convert
archives between many formats. And you have very good new archiver (better than
ZIP, I think)

b) I have program called Archive Converter 2.1 (AC210.ZIP or something
similar), which converts all archive formats.

c) most of upload/file_id.diz processors can do this thing automatically (if
you are a sysop ;) )

that seems like a good price.  But I don't use Windows (or should I say, "I

Those are all the codes for the easy level... if you can't get farther than the

Also.. if you are interested in this game or X-wing.. I would suggest a flight
joystick.. I just got one and boy does it make a difference!!! Everything is
soo much easier.. instead of sliding your mouse down & down & down.. you just
ease down on the

I can see your point...  but it would be nice to have zip'd so they

playing from the CDs are slower than HDs.  (Free space?  Well, not right

Hi, it shouldn't be a problem..I have the same config.  The only problem I can
imagine is running out of power cables.  Many computers (especially clones)
have a limited amount of power cables.  If that the case for you, you only
need a splitter that will plug into one, creating two ($3-4 ).

Hope that provides some insight, Rich

Ok I did that, I type CD ROM 1 and I got

CD-ROM COMMAND IS NOT VALID

I tried mounting it and it goes through all the motions and then said
that there were duplicate file names on the CD and refused to mount.
But I can read that same CD on a DOS workstation with the same SCSI card

Hi Jeff,

Yes, Matrox Marvel II has a digital video expansion bus.
Keep in mind that Matrox Marvel II is a MPEG playback
board.  MPEG provides computer video playback that
appears like TV quality.  MPEG playback is available as
an optional add on card for the Philips CD-I player and
is on the ReelMagic card for the PC.

ReelMagic by Sigma Designs is a playback adapter for the PC.
This card decompress MPEG video as data leaves a CD-Rom
drive.  It's resolution is 640 x 480 and has full screen
motion.  ReelMagic can play back Philips CD-I Digital
Video.

P.S I am sending this message again in case you didn't receive the
first.

TH>Here are the new rules for advertising in the CDROM echo:
TH>
TH>1.  ADS MUST BE A MAXIMUM OF 10 LINES.
TH>2.  DEALERS SHALL NOT POST MORE THAN 1 AD PER WEEK.
TH>3.  DEALERS SHALL NOT POST MORE THAN 3 MESSAGES PER WEEK.

I have no problem with rules 1 and 2; they seem like great ideas.

But, as a non-dealer, just a "reader" and sometimes "writer" here, I have a
great deal of trouble with rule #3.  Some of the most informed commentary, and
intelligent answers to questions of general interest, come from dealers who
take the time to READ this echo and to write REPLIES back.

Please don't "throw out the baby with the bathwater!"
We WANT and NEED the participation of the dealers here!

Perhaps rule #3 should be replaced by something like:
#3.  Dealers shall not post more than 1 boilerplate message per week.
#4.  Dealers shall not quote substantial portions of their price list
or other boilerplate documents when writing individual messages.

This would cover those dealers who remind us how user-friendly they, or their
price lists, are.  As well as the repeated running of the same "new release"
notice that's been posted, unchanged, 3 times a week for the last eight weeks.
Et cetera.

Sure, just don't get one of those new ide cd-roms.  Get one that comes
with a controller card, or better yet, get one that connects to your
sound card.  if you need external, packpack is the easiest (connects to
Parallel port) or there are several 2x out there for under $300.
your welcome,

Make sure both of the controller cards have different IRQ's, DMA
channels, and HEX addresses.  DMA is usually the hardest because most of
these things only support 1-3, and 2 is usually the diskette controller,
and most people set 1 as the SB.  Good luck

        Hello Dirk,

            This reply is a little late, But been backed up in this
echo for a while. There is no mention of SCSI. I will assume they
are. I have 5 CdRoms running and 2 are the same and the other 3 are
different. I run 4 internal and 1 external. I have an adaptec SCSI
controller and it took about 2 days to get it to run right. The
problem that I had was drivers.

If they are not SCSI  "Never Mind"..

 I dont have that exact disk, I do have a CD called Ham Radio by Chestnut
 that's 650+ MB of files,programs, etc... and is BBS ready. I'd be willing

    I am running a venerable Sony CDU 31A single spin on a 486/33 with
    4 megs of ram and a slowish (but very compatible) Trident video card.
    The combo has worked well for some time but baulks at one particular
    CD that contains very large (500 to 700 K) GIF images.
         In addition to writing slowly, the system locks (usually on the
    larger images) producing the following "File read/write error. Drive may
    be open or disk unformatted."
         This condition cannot be corrected by a three finger reboot or a
    warm reset. Must turn off entire system and wait a few seconds.
         Can anyone tell me what's wrong and suggest remedies?  please...
    please ...please.
         While on the subject, can anyone tell me how to remove corrupted
   items from the list of programs (images) on a CD? I know I can't delete
   the images, but would skip over them if they weren't mentioned in
   the index.
         Final question. Discounting bias and the need to ride on the
   leading edge, is it necessary to run current programs, games, animations,
    etc on a CD reader faster than double spin. The prices have dropped
    so much on double spin readers, they seem like such a good buy. Any
    comments?

What kills the library guardian creature?  Steel? but what steel?

What operates the two triggering mechanisms?

What kills the large creature in the tunnel under the cellar?


If you haven't played this game here's my short opinion of it.

It is a horror mystery.  You are investigating a suicide in a mansion
infested with evil creatures.  You can fight with hands, feet, sword,
shotgun, pistol, etc..  You move about finding useful items and books,
notes, letters to help you along.

It has a unique art style (at first I didn't like it.  I have since
changed my mind and like it alot.)  Instead of using curved lines
everything is drawn with straight lines so imagine what your forehead
looks like. The veiw point that you see on the screen varies greatly
(sometimes from above, as if a from a camera in a room's upper corner or
from the view point of a mouse) and is an entertaining addition to the
plot.
Whenever you open a book you cna read the text or you can just listen to
the audio which is well done (with a couple bugs such as the audio portion
being spoken on the wrong page it doesn't really detract.)

It is an interesting game.  I just happen to be stuck.
AAAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!

Thanks  Chris

Hi there Scott

 SS> I recently received a CD-rom catalog with several well known games
 SS> in it.  What is the difference between the oem version of a game
 SS> and the regular version?  The price differences were up to $20 US per
 SS> game.  Thanks Scott Stadler

There really isn't any different in the actual game or program, the difference
lies basically with the packing scheme on such products.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer and as such companies release 2
versions for most CD-ROMs today.

(1) The "regular" RETAIL packaging that includes documentation and flashy
display boxes.

(2) These "OEM" standard packing is just a CD in a jewel case. Some include
VERY brief documentation but many do NOT. These OEM packages are sold to
distributors and retailers to be used for equipment packages. (ie. Buy this
CD-ROM Drive and get 10 free discs) They are intended ONLY to be distributed
with other products, but that has basically gone by the wayside in this
competitive industry.

Hope this helps ya out

-= Cheers =-
        Steve.

Hi,
  I am interested in this CDROM, are you stationed in Hong Kong?
  Well, I am in Singapore at present.  If you are in Hong Kong
  can I arrange for you to pass the CDROM to my colleages in
  Hong Kong now to bring back to me?

  Anyway, they are based in Kowloon in Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza
  Harbour View right now.

  Please reply soon as they will be flying back in a weeks time.

  BTW, can you tell me where can I get CDROMs in Hong Kong.  The
  last time I visited, that was a week ago, I was told that
  Pennisula Centre in Kowloon has quite a bit of CDROM.  I went
  there and the collection was so miserable.  Please advice as
  I will be probably travelling to Hong Kong sometime in August
  and I would like to be able to grab a few CDROMs.  I have no
  time to hunt around as I will be there for business and my
  schedule will be very tight.

  Thanks

  Francis Lee

Vamos a ver si alguien me puede ayudar...

Quizás sea una tontería como una casa, pero yo no lo he podido solucionar.

El problema se explica fácilmente:

Tengo 1 disco duro, y una unidad CD Rom, y quiero instalar un Ramdisk de medio
mega.

El problema es que yo quiero que el CD-Rom sea siempre la unidad D:, instale
o no instale el Ramdisk, y aquí está el problema...

Todos los Ramdisk que he probado hasta ahora son devices que se cargan en el
config.sys, y pase lo que pase, tienen prioridad por decirlo de alguna manera,
sobre el CD Rom, por lo que cuando instalo un Ramdisk, aunque le pueda asignar
la letra E:, por ejemplo, como el Ramdisk se cargó antes del CDRom, éste ya
sabe que hay otro drive instalado antes que él, y lo toma como drive D:, no
como drive E: , por lo que él, se instala como drive E: también (luego,
dependiendo del Ramdisk, la cosa va mejor o peor)... el problema es que lo
que yo necesito es un Ramdisk que se cargue SOLO desde el autoexec.bat, y que
no use para nada el config.sys, porque si no, confundiría al CD Rom, y siempre
se instalaría como unidad E:

Bueno, espero no haber sido demasiado lioso.

El problema de todo esto, es que tengo unos bats que usan ficheros de algunos
CD Roms, y si arranco el ordenador con el Ramdisk, el CDROM es E: y si lo
arranco sin el Ramdisk, el CDROM es D:, y no me sirve arrancar siempre con el
Ramdisk o siempre sin él, ya que tengo varios tipos de arranque y quiero que el
CDROM sea siempre el mismo para que esos bats funcionen perfectamente sin tener
que decirles dónde está el CDROM... vamos que miren siempre en D:

Saludos... espero que me podais ayudar

    The current issue of Multimedia World has a brief review of a
new movie data-base called VideoHound.
    If anyone has this CD I would like to ask them to check for
two movies that I use as a benchmark for content:

    The first is called "Easy to Wed." An older movie starring
Ester Williams and Van Johnston. Kinda of a dog, even it's time.
What does VH say about it?

    Second one is even rarer. "Twice Blessed." This is a class Z
movie that happens to star a pair of twins that I went to school
with. I think this is the only movie they ever made. Does it
appear in the data-base, and if so, what do they say about it?

    The magazine gives VH high marks for content -- but they add
a statement "....the movie must have been released on video." It
covers something like 25,000 movies, but that's a small portion
of the 45,000 movies made, and of course, not all have been
released on video. (I suspect "Twice Blessed" failed the cut.)

I don't suppose that you also know that 100% of all rapists are into food
and water.  Maybe for the good of the majority, we should make eating a
criminal activity.  Let's hunt down the farmers feeding the perverts, and
string them up by their rutabagas.


Believe it or not, rape was going on long before there was any kind of
erotica available in any format other than what goes on in a persons mind.
I'm getting sick and tired of people that refuse to take responsibility for
their own actions.  It's a cop-out, a way to get off easier, if they can
con someone into believing that the "Devil" made 'em do it.

Mike, if you delt with this guy by credit card, let your bank handle the
problem, they will refund your money and then file a complaint with the proper
people. Just call your credit card bank and file a complaint.

Hope this helps you, as I buy a lot from Mail orders by credit card, and if I

   I have one called the Music Monster from CMS Software. Sounds like
it's just what you are looking for. It has over 2,000 MIDI, over 2500
MODS, and about 500 WAV's all of which are uncompressed. I think I paid
$19.95 + s/h.                              Terry

I have one question... Will it work for me?
 (which may be worded as many questions)

I have a 2X CD-ROM from 'Wearnes Tech' titled 'beethoven Cdd-110'

This drive is 'Sony Connection Compatible'

I currently have a SoundBlaster 8bit V2.0 sound card.. (which I have
never been able to get to work correctly with anything other than v1.5
device drivers)

I see where one company is selling the 'Pro Audio Spectrum Plus' sound
card w/Sony CD-ROM interface for less than $100.00

Does anybody here know for sure if this card will work with the above
drive correctly?

Is the 'PAS+' SoundBlaster 'HARDWARE COMPATIBLE' so that games (etc)
that I already have set-up for the sound blaster card does not need to
be reloaded/re-setup.

Just tried it and it works!  If you have a slow CD-ROM but lots of
hard drive space, Mad Dog Mecree will run off the HD!  Just copy all the
files from the CD to your HD.  Run the install program and tell it the
correct path to the HD.  Runs super smooth!  Takes about 115 megs.
Mad Dog II may work also but it is over 400 megs so I didnt try it!
This may also work for those with no CD drive.  Just have someone that
does transfer it for you to a tape or backup disks.

Solve ahead......































You have to toss all your inventory at the fire (left side). Once you have
thrown enough objects into the fire, the bride will be safe to cross (You will
get a message saying it is safe). Now I have heard that you have to throw at
least 7 items, but it took me 30! I came up one short and used the map to
Snoot's Farm and took the meat from the fridg again (there are other places you
can get items again...hay, carrots...)

Hope this helps....let me know what you think of the ending.

How do you do this?  I am curious how other caches do besides SmartDrive.  I

NU version 8.  But it was slower, and would not cache the CD.  I have a 486

  There is a patch available from the Software Toolworks BBS. It made a big
difference in sound quality on my system. The phone number is in the docs
somewhere. Good luck.

 @SUBJECT:Multi-session problems with CR-562-B CD-ROM                 N

I have recently purchased a CR-562B cd-rom drive, as the specification
state that it is a multi-session drive, how do I read these
multi-session disks.....

Do I require a program to switch sessions, or is it a flag with the
boot-up drivers???


As it was one of the main reasons for purchasing this drive, it would be
handy if I could work out how to perform this function.....


Thanks for your attention...

        classification. Nintendo themselves approve every game
        released for their system, and in keeping with their
        "family" image they discourage images that may be deemed
        offensive, which is why Mortal Kombat on the SNES has no
        blood, whereas the Mega Drive version does. It's not to
        do with passing our classiciation rules (as if they
        would bother changing the code for such a small market.)

Hi Steve,I thought something like this was happening.I have seen it for
sale in this echo so I thought it was taking a long time getting here but
all is clear now.

SM>This
SM>happened again last Thursday so on Friday night we called both Virgin
SM>and
SM>Access.  They are the publishers of 11th Hour and Under a Killing
SM>Moon
SM>respectively.  We got the following responses.
SM>
SM>11th Hour
SM>Definitely NOT being released until the beginning of September.

I think 11th Hour is becoming the Vapourware Title of 1994 I wouldn't mind
betting it wont be released until Christmas.

SM>
SM>Under a Killing Moon
SM>No way can anyone offer us them yet.  Release scheduled for late
SM>August/early
SM>September.  A demo CD release (not the full game) is due is a week or
SM>two.

Well,thats a novel idea a demo CD instead of floppy version.Lets hope it
will be priced right.Come to think of it I remember reading that the
English magazine PC Home will have a massive playable demo on their cover
cd in a month or so.

See ya
Tony.

Hello Moderator Bob,

Had just altered my offline reader to scrap the CD ROM echo
then I spotted the moderator mail messages, so will give it
a try for a little longer.

I believe there is an echo of CD ROM trading, but it seems
that there are a whole bunch of people on here can't find
it or don't know about it.

The trading issue is way out of hand, especially from those who
insist on posting the same message each day.  Thanks for the traffic.
(Maybe they have shares in international phone companies.
Maybe they like the sight of their name in lights, who knows?)
I won't despair yet, but currently it is a real hassle sifting the
useful info from the tons of crap (especially the commercial
advertisements in multi-replicated-triplicate form).

Ciao.

I've finished the game, so I guess I can give out some clues and hints.
I will not tell anyone how to figure it out step by step.  It's no fun
that way, don't you agree?

The sunken ship in the birdbath is linked to the sunken ship near
the dock.  But you can't get to the sunken ship near the dock!
Somehow, the ship needs to be raised.  How ?...  And what does the
birdbath has do with it.  The first key clue is the tower.  You will
need rotate it to the proper direction, and you will need to get in
the tower to get additional clues.

 Does anyone here use MDCDEX as the CD-Rom redirector?  It is a driver by
Meridian Data that allows multiple sessions and multiple volume access.  It
replaces MSCDEX quite well... except I am unable to share my CD drive with
others under Windows for Workgroups.

 The symptoms: the Share seems to be accepted when I set it up, but when I go
to a remote machine, and map a drive letter to the CD controlled by MDCDEX, and
then try to get a directory of it, or do anything whatsoever, I am told there
are no files there.  If I substitute MSCDEX (with the /S switch) to MDCDEX, the
sharing works.

 I'm looking for a solution (other than dropping MDCDEX for MSCDEX) because I
need the multi-session access capabilities it offers.

 There are feel persons talking about encyclopedias in a Fido-Cultura.
 Why don't get a little packed of this conference and get into this

    We have them for $20 James. They will do Panasonic, Mitsumi, and
Sony. I wouldn't bother with Panasonic tech, as it's just an OEM name
and they have a habbit of telling people that they don't make CD-ROM's
(which is I suppose technicaly correct).

Darren,
I have a demo CD of 3-D Body Adventure.  It includes the full working
copy of the product.  All you have to do is call Knowledge Adventure,
give them your credit card #, and they'll give you a code to access the
full product.  No waiting for the mail to deliver.  They'll charge your
credit card $39.95 (U.S. retail is $69.95-you'll save $30!).  This offer
is good through July 31, 1994.  If you think this would be a good deal
for you, just send me enough to cover shipping/handling costs and its
yours.   Let me know and I'll give you my address.

BJ

P.S.  I bought a retail copy of 3-D Body Adventure before I got the
demo.  It is a great program.  Great graphics and lots of info.  Good
luck in your search!

    Mount another connector on the ribbon cable, set the jumper for drive
id on the back of the drives as 0 an 1, then edit your config.sis to
include /n:2 for the number of drives connected.

    I'm assuming that you are installing from a CD, so your symptoms
indicate that it cant find the OS/2 cd disk or can't read the drive if
it's in there. Chck your info that you edited on the disks. Also. It
would help if we knew what CD-ROM you are using.

    This is incorrect. You do not need 2 drivers loaded. One driver and
one card will handle up to 4 drives, which is determined as you know by
the drive id jumper. use one driver with the same drive name as your
call to MSCDEX (the above /d:cd01) and change your /N:1 to /N:2 (the /N
switch is the number of drives you have chained) the port address will
be the same as that which the controller card is set to via jumpers
(most likely /P:300)

    This is incorrect. They would need to change the /N:1 switch on the
driver call to /N:x where x is the number of drives chained on that
controller.

    No you can not use the same drivers. You neglected to say what CD-ROM
you are using. Most all major SCSI and proprietary drives are supported
by OS/2

    PMFJI. This is not the case if you want to install off of CD. It is
necessary to modify the config to load whatever driver you need for the
particular drive you are installing with.

    They are not. He is trying to run multiple proprietary drives, and of
    those the Panasonic 562 is the only one that can be chained. We developed
    and market a 4 drive mini tower using the 562. Plug and play double

If you like Grolier, then why not get Grolier on CD-ROM. You should
be able to get it in that price range and it has when you are looking
for.

Is it the best? Best in encyclopedias depends on what you are looking
for. I wouldn't give the Encyclopedia Britannica (about $1,500 to lease
for a year) to an eight-year-old. I wouldn't give Compton's to a
graduate student in nuclear fusion. Switch them and they'd probably
both be happy.

Grolier is a good, general short article encyclopedia. You'd likely
be happy with it. Encarta if very good if you like multimedia
glitz-and-glamor. Compton's is somewhere in between.

So how do I know? I've reviewed eight encyclopedias for various
publications over the years and probably have more than a dozen
copies of about six sitting on my shelves. Hopes that helps in
some small way. Cheers!

You don't really have much choice these days, Cameron. You might
be able to find a DOS copy of Grolier (quite a good encyclopedia,
btw). You may even be able to find a DOS version of InfoFinder
(World Books)if you haunt computer flea markets or ask in
various nets. It is expensive, though.

Currently all the encyclopedias are Windows, even the vauted
Encyclopedia Britannica. Any DOS versions you find are likely
to be old by a couple of years. Good luck, or hope for the best
for Chicago. Cheers!

For Sale, an Orchid Soundwave 32, Advanced Wave table Synthesis
Card for PC's.  This card is brand new, never been used, I have
not even tried it myself, didn't want to mess it up.  I'll let
it go for $100. Some of the stuff it says on the box:

The Orchid Soundwave 32 uses a DSP chip which handles 20 MIPS.
It emulates General MIDI, Roland MT-32, Soundblaster, and Adlib
Soundcards with wave-table synthesis in onboard ROM.  It can
emulate the MT-32 &  Soundblaster simultaneously, making it a
game player's dream!  This card will turn your PC into an
MPC Level 2 compliant system.  Included are a Mitsumi/Sony CD-ROM

interface that supports double speed CD ROM drives, a joystick port,

and a MIDI port. The MIDI interface supports the Roland MPU-401
specification.  There's audio lines in and out for interfacing
with other components, but it comes with a built-in amp and
2 small shielded speakers, so you need not add anything else
unless you want LOUD<grin>.  Plus it has bundled s/w:

(1)  Sound Impression for Windows - graphic control of your
     Soundwave 32
(2)  Wired for Sound for Windows
(3)  Action for Windows - create audio & video presentations/demos.

This card is brand new, still in the box, the s/w is still
sealed, it comes with a microphone & speakers, a CD ROM interface,

an MPU-401 MIDI port, a joystick port, and emulates Soundblaster,

Adlib, Roland MT-32, and General MIDI, simultaneously, using WAVE

table synthesis.  It has 32 note polyphony & does all 16 MIDI
channels at once (i.e., 16 voice multitimbral).  The warantee
registration card is still unadulterated, so you can register
it yourself, in your name.  Like I said, I have never heard the
card, but from reading the box, I infer that it sounds like
putting MOD type sample technology to use on a grand scale. I'd
use it myself, but my CD ROM is SCSI and I have a Roland CM-64,
Roland SC-55MkII, and PAS-16 hooked up, so I already have all
it's capabilities.

Any takers?  Like I said, brand new, still in box, $100.  At
this price, you can try it out & still sell it for over $100
if you don't want it.  What a deal!  If interested, write me
via Internet at [e-mail], or call me at
205-650-5602 6PM-11PM central daylight time weekdays,
11AM-11PM weekends.  Will ship UPS, RPS, US Post Office,
your choice.

Hallo.  The star symbol in the boat age is linked to the submersible lamp.  YOu
said you didn't want to have it given away completely, so here it is: look at
the telescope on top of the stairs and take note of the degree it's at when
looking at a certaing point.  Have fun!  Great game, just passed it.

The sunken boat in the birdbath(as well as the real one) can be raised by using
the symbols on the poles surounding it.  Using dates from the star-thingme, you
can correlate them with animals from a book in the library.
Have fun!  =)

Hi there.  I noticed you talking about the journeyman project.  I'm in the
market for a new CD-ROM game, and I'm wondering how good it is.  Have you ever
played MYST?  How does it compare?  I've heard it's slow.  How slow?  THanks a
lot.  If YOU'RE looking for a new CD-ROM game, I recommend MYST.  Thanks for
your time.

You se I guess is that it probably has a better graphics quality
and also it has a tougher level where you can't cheat.

        First off, I'd like to state my opinion that Myst is one of the best
computer games of all time. Even if you look past the QuickTime and the
graphics, you end up with an unusuall concept. A computer game in which, not
only is it DIFFICULT to die, (maybe if you bump the off switch) you have to
THINK. I bought this game as a filler to keep me busy untill Under a Killing
Moon is FINALLY released. (Current Date: Sept 29th 1994) ((As told to me by my
friendly neigborhood MPC game store owner on Tuesday)). So inviting my friend
Jeff over (3/4 of a superior intelect are better than 4/8) we plugged and
played. That was about... three days ago. Every off-work hour since, and
roughly 28 Super Slurpees later, we're reaching the end of our quest.

        Now I'm not NORMALLY the kind of user to BEG for hints. I'd rather
suffer here in my own private hell and type profanity into any available Text
based game (remember them?) untill either the sun rises, or I pass out from not
having eaten in weeks. (buying games is more important! ;-) ) But I'm thrashing
against 'the wall' and Jeff... Jeff isn't the man he used to be. Poor boy
beleived he's trapped in a linking book, and is now a member of the Religion to
free Achenar. (I belong to the Sirrus camp) ((We really don't base our loyalty
on evidence, rather a combination of acting skill, and a coin toss, it's like
duling devils advocates... head's 're going to roll when it comes down to that
deciding page...) And I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE...

        So please, PLEASE, if you honor the Spirit of Myst, the bravery of
Altrus, or at least his font, answer the following question.

EITHER:
        1) How do you turn the submursible lamps on to (i assume) light
                the gallay?

                                OR


        2) Where do you find out which button to press in the hidden passage
                        Fleur-de-lis pattern in the hidden crawlway?

I don't really want Step By Step instructions, I simply want to be pointed in
the right direction. Cryptic or not, I'm wayyyyyy beyond caring. Please answer,
do it for me, do it for poor Jeff sitting in my bookshelf mumbling that 'that
<deleted><choose your least favorite brother> won't burn me....' Help.

You have to find the fake book in the room next to the library, and then
go to the library and use the fake book on the fake wall.  The fake wall
has a little outline in a bookcase at the far end of the library.

creature.  Someone told me that you have to run past the creature in the

 THAT is excessive. Too many of us "dealers" also answer QUESTIONS from users,
and this would tend to remove some of your most valuable resources for problem
solving. I for one do NOT have the time to sit here and try to COUNT my replies
- I will DROP this echo first - and I suspect that is also true for all of the
other "dealers" here.

all....

 With as many titles as I normally stock, I simply don't have the SPACE in a

 Likely not, but the ONLY way to tell for certain is to wait for such drives
with the same interface your sound card uses to actually show up - IF they ever
do.

>Also how can i connect a 3x cd drive to soundblaster 16?

 Currently, you don't - ALL drives faster than 2X on the market at this time
are
SCSI interface, and the only announced non-SCSI faster than 2X drives are
IDE-enhanced interface so far.

 Interesting, as Tandy marketed a special version of the Adaptec 1540 for their
systems at some point (I used to own one of those, only difference from a
"regular" 1540 was the BIOS).

 Have you tried using a non-bus master SCSI Host Adapter like the Allways

all
three parts and is classed as preregistered Shareware (or is what you recieve

 Not to my knowlage - limitation of the DRIVEs, rather than the controllers.

 Exactly. I CAN see a possibility of a controller running multiple drives, but
NOT via a daisy chain method.

 I'd recommend a switch to chainable drives, like SCSI or Panasonic propriatary

 A faster drive (double-spin or faster) will cure that problem.
 A larger CD-ROM cache can help.
 More MSCDEX buffers and/or more MTMCDS buffers can help some.

I went through Critical Path just this week. To get out of the packing room,
head for the water tower. I think it is the forward key. Also, paper burns at

Probably my favorite is the Encarta by Microsoft; can get it on sale at a

covers only 92 and back but the dictionary doesn't change that much.   Good

Actually the 3Xi is the same thing as the 3X, but the 3XI has an LCD
display and controls on the front like play, Fast forward, and reverse.
I have the 3Xi, and I have never looked at the LCD display, so that

it is so small.

Does anyone know of a patch to fix SAM N' MAX.  I have a Reveal SoundFX
32 sound card and I can't get the soundblaster part of the game to work.
It's suppose to be a fully talking game and I can't get it to work.  I
get the music on the MIDI part of my sound card, but I can't get the
digital sound effects to work.  I don't have an interrupt problem
because everything else I own work.  I called Lucas Arts BBS and it
seems that many people are having the same problem, but I never so a

Yes I do, If you want to order CD's I would recommend that you try Mike
Shannon, He was very fast with my shippment that I had to reoder cause Brice
cheated me out of $136.00, But after the US post office gets him and others, he
will really wish he hadn't mess withy this old boy, I will spend $50,000 to get
my $136.00 back and see him in Jail or with a heave fine.

Thanks for that address, I really do appreciate it and will write them this
weekend and give them all the details regarding BRICE and his action and see
what they will do with him, hopefully put him out of business.

I had to reorder the order plus other CD from Mike Shannon and he delievered to

Ouch..  How long ago did you purchace the SB2?  I would have reccomended the
Soundblaster 16, it also has the Yamaha chip, slots for expanding to add the
ASP and Waveblaster options, and stereo 16 bit sound (as opposed to stereo 8
bit).  While there is a price difference, you may consider returning the board
for the SB16 which is quickly becoming a standard option on many Multimedia
computers.

You're not the only one..  I am running a Soundblaster 16 ASP and a CD-ROM
with it's own separate controller.  I do not know what the advantages of
having the sound card connected directly to the CD-ROM drive is, but your
CD-ROM drive does NOT have to be connected to the sound card to work properly
or utilize sound with the CD-ROM drive (at least in my experience.. I have an
external Toshiba drive and it has regular stereo output jacks in the back
which I hook up to my stereo).

If I were you, i'd just buy a basic Soundblaster 16 OR A Soundblaster AWE (has
a super cool music synthesizer which uses digitized REAL instruments.. blows
anything you have ever heard from your sound card unless you have used a
Roland LAPC-1/Turtle Beach or a cool MIDI setup).

Bob,

Thanks for the reply, I did have the CDR1000 and I had it setup and it ran
great for a couple of years, then it started making disk searches, and kept on
till it crashed.... I think the head needs aligning again in the drive ....
I tried DMA and NON-DMA,


I just bought the philips drive  and it's runing ok.

There are 2 ways that the drive will install in your computer:
1)2 screws on each side through the drive cage.
OR
2)You need 2 rails, they screw on each side of the drive & then
the drive just slides in. The rails will lock in with screws or
built-in tabs.

Good luck

You really can't beat the 2X AT interface drives for price and performance,
you will probably beable to buy a 4X AT drive with the difference
between 2X AT & SCSI.
The higher performance drives ie. 3X or 4X are SCSI,
BUT I expect 4X AT or IDE drive to be avail. soon.
The 2X AT interface drives are about 300ms. but the important spec.
is the data transfer rate. Actually data transfer rate is everything.

SCSI is OK if you already have a SCSI controller or your sound
card is SCSI ie you don't have to buy a SCSI controller @ $100-400.

The advantage is that a SCSI-II card can have upto 7 devices. This can be
CDROMS/HD's etc. Also SCSI card are DMAble, with means less overhead for the
CPU.

 Let's put it this way: MSCDEX (version 2.2 and below) can't do it.  I use
MDCDEX, a driver by Meridian Data.  Using it, I switch to other sessions by
specifying /V:n on the command line.

 I doubt you are entitled to just log on and "grab it" if you don't have a
license to use it, but they *do* make it available for download on their BBS...

The Grollier's on CD-ROM is supposed to be aimed at the college level
student.  The Compton's is supposed to be aimed at the high school
student (I heard this from a dealer at a show).  Grollier's came out
originally as the Software Toolworks encyclopedia.  Later, it was
included in the Soundblaster 16 package, but the newer, multimedia
version.  I am happy with both versions (my wife keeps the older
version near her computer, I keep the newer one with me).  At a show
you can probably get the newer version for your price range.  --

 Your refund check was sent out earlier this week - Express Mail was a waste of

 I replied to EVERY message you sent me. I would suggest that you have your

more often.

 That will constitute Slander and/or Libel, and I WILL file against you if you

 I have explained the situation on your order at least 3 times in previous
messages. I HAVE refunded your money, in accordance to your last request. I DID
apologise for closing on a house 4 days before the Dayton Hamvention, and the
resultant mess of moving BOTH my shop AND my home that caused me to lose track
of 5 orders for appx. a month (yours being one of those orders).



 Before you throw stone, try walking a mile in MY shoes - I'm NOT a big
company,
I'm a old-style one man shop, and major personal disruptions CAN cause glitches
in my professional performance.

          1)  If it exists.
          2)  What it retails for
          3)  Who makes it
          4)  What format the numbers are in (DB ascii etc)
          5)  What fax programs the number format is compatable
              with


     And most important what people who have it think of it.  I
would any information anyone can give me on this subject.

    We have developed the new Panarray cd mini tower, which is 4 double

    cables for $795 US.

    The best way to get it on a network would be to put it on its own server.
    If you could provide more info on your hardware and network I could offer
    more info.

    I'm sorry for my poor English listening ability that I may not made

And I'll get it later apart from others which I've already got?

    After all, I must tell you doing business with you is really great and

 Hi Wayne.  I see you have several replies to this question.
 I thought I would reply just in case these ideas didn't work
 for you.  I have a machine with two of the Sony external
 dual drives. (a total of 4 drives)  Two of them are single
 spin and two are double spins.  The interface cards were
 different, so, I had to use both cards to hook them up.  The
 Sonys didn't use DMA, so the only conflict to resolve was
 the base address.  Once I got them on different addresses,
 I was unable to get the system to see both of them.  It was
 either the doubles, or the singles, but not both.  What finally
 fixed the problem was, 1) load both device drivers and make
 sure it finds the drives. 2) load mscdex ( I use the latest
 version that came with DOS 6.2 ) with both drive names on the
 same line.  You can't load mscdex twice! At least I couldn't.
 It has to find all the drives at the same time.  Once I got
 both drive names on the same line, it found all four drives
 and pressed on.  Hope this helps.
 Cheers!

    I was wondering if anyone know where or if I could buy another one
of these drives. Since the DRM-602 and 18 came out, I don't see the 600
advertised anywhere anymore.

    Its not a fast drive but seems to work alright. The 602 is selling
for $800 new and I was wondering what to 600's were down to. Heck, I
might even pick up a used one if the price was right. Anyone seen these
creatures around anywhere?

cache) it makes your CD-ROM as fast as your hard drive by using all of your
system resources and a optional file on your hard drive.  This program is
arouL╘J√nd $70.00 and that is not bad for something that will make a single
speed drive faster than a Quad speed.  I swear this is the truth.  Any
questions let me know or if you want to talk to the company they are local I
think the # is 698(or 692)-9660 give them a call there are dealer in Tacoma.

This is do to the fact that CD-ROMS are slow in performace you probably have a
double speed and it has a transfer rate of around 300kb a sec and the access
time is aroun 300ms that right there is the problem if you purchased a Hard
Disk with these specifications you would probably slap the sales person but
yet we all buy are CD-ROMS with these specs.  You have a few options one would
be upgrade to a faster CD-ROM you can get a tripple for aroun $400 or a Quad
for $1000.  But I happen to have a better solution for you their is a new
product called d-Time10 this is a CD-ROM accelerator and will make your CD-ROM
as fast as your hard drive.  This is not a cache and shouldn't be confused as
such this product is fairly new and I think it is only on the west coast right
now but it works great and the company that makes it is local here in
Washington Ballard Synergy their # is (206)698(or 692 ?)-9660 the product
sells for around $70 and is well worth it if you have any more questions or if
you purchase it let me know.

What does OEM stand for? I see thew term pop up a lot, but I really
don't know what it means. I do know however, that you can buy OEM
versions of CD's at shows REALLY cheap, and occasionally they are labeled
"OEM version, not for sale w/o hardware" in the case of the 7th Guest.
Do they include all of the same data as the "real/official" releases?
Any help would be appreciated.

BH>If you are really gonna buy anything nowadays go to a computer show

I would strongly advise against that. Unless you have a really good
credit card with good customer support, it's a bad idea. I just bought a
Sony double speed drive at a show for $127. Little did I realize it was
the CDU33A-01 (which is actually single speed). I charged it. When I got
home, I read in the manual that it only reads disks up to 540mb. I just
assumed it was a misprint, so I proceeded to hook it up. The thing was
defective. When I called the place I purchased it from, they kept
putting me on hold (on a long distance call to New York). I just wanted
to get an exchange for the CDU33A-02 or -03 if they had any. Or just
credit my account. They put me on hold, I was late for work, so I just
hung up. My brother called them posing as myself to see if he could get
my money back, and they hung up on him ("me"). My credit card company
said I had to get the money back from the place I purchased from (which
is BS because the merchandise was defective and it was false
advertising, but I was beyond pissed). So I had to pay the shipping cost
and the 3% credit card charge. So throughout the deal, I managed to lose
$15, gain a lot of stress, and I probably won't see my account credited
for a couple of weeks or a month, depending on when they feel like it.
Unless you can really understand chinese/japanese accents, don't go to
the shows for hardware! I'm not bashing japanese or chinese people,
but they can be very hard to understand, and it can get confusing. You
can really get ripped off. I do however recommend going for software.
You can get titles VERY cheap (especially OEM versions). If you do want
to buy hardware, make sure it has a warranty, the place you are dealing
with is cooperative, definitely CHARGE the item, and make sure your
credit card company offers good customer support in case something goes
wrong. Hopefully someone can benefit from my experience. I thought it
might help if I posted what happened.

I wish it was! I was reading some messages on GEnie from people working on The
11th Hour and they say it should be out by the fall. Unless they were referring
to the 3DO version that is supposed to include more of a plot and racier
material. The good stuff that was planned is being cut from the PC version
(that might be the delay).

Hello Steve,

It has been a fair while since you advertised any new CD's for sale in this
echo.
Has there been anything new or have you stopped your retail business?  It would
be a lost if you are only concentrating on wholesale.  I would rather buy mail
order from the U.S. than dealing with some of the resellers here.
Yours sincerely,
Charles.

Hi Dirk,

DM> SL> Well i've had a similar problem playing the demo of the game on
DM> SL> cd-rom, and encountered the problems you did.
DM> SL> The result:  Well i unplugged my joystick and ran it again and all was
DM> SL> fine. The joystick was a cheap quickshot bought from k-mart.

DM> Hum Hi stephen I wonder  my joystick decided not to work anymore after
DM> installing the Sb16/Cd rom pack ....what do you recon could it be
DM> someting the same ? any Ideas   thanks dude L8r

Could be does the joystick work with other games?

I've had a problem with MK also the action slows down,i think it has
something to do with the x + y trimmers on the joystick which stuffs up
the computer.

Another game privateer i was trying to line up the spaceships to kill
them and as i would line em up the crosshairs jumped away so i couldn't
kill them.  So I'd recommend to stay away from inferior joysticks and
buy a good one for about $80, If it doesn't work take it back and get
some real help, cause there could be something else wrong.

Then again i could be wrong.

Have you tried running the game without a joystick?

Regards
Steven Langdon.

Hi Donald,

DD>I have a Mitsumi CD ROM and it is installed in a 386x40DX
DD>machine.  I am haveing trouble with the video being choppy.
DD> Anyone have any ideas as what could casue this problem.  I
DD>do not have an ascellerator board but I have 4mb of ram and
DD>the Video card is Trident with 1mb in board.  The audio
DD>seems to run ok.  The video problem I am refering to is
DD>Motion Video such as on the Animals CD.  Please any help...

Are you running in windoze?

WHat size screen does the video playback? If it is more than 1/4 size
i'd say that it would be your video card, I have the same a trident with
only 512k ram and a 486.  Try reducing the size of the window and see
what happens.

Other than that all i can recommend is getting a faster VLB Bus card.

Another thing you could try is setting up your windoze priority to 10000
in foreground and 1 in background.

Hope this is of any help to you.

Regards
Steven

Don't get too excited about DOS 6.22
It's just a version of DOS 6.0 with the compression engine removed due to the
recent litigation by Stac.

Now, to keep Mr Moderator happy and keep this on topic:
Is anybody running a Mitsumi Double speed CD Rom from a Sound Galaxy NX Pro, I
have the LU005 but the local Mitsumi distributors don't appear to have any
information about whether the interface for the double speed is identical, I
don't want to go back to a separate CD controller if I upgrade.

 You will find the Mitsumi slower and not 100% MPCII compatible. For
 expample, if you install Encarta it will give you a speed rating error,
 and if you play Return to Zork, the speech will be 'echoed' and will
 not synch with the video. These things do not happen with the
 Panasonic, I have tried both. Keep your drive unless you want to shell
 out for atriple or quad spin 8*)

Hi, I am looking for a used newer version of encyclo: my main concern is: does
the above have the NEW soviet union broken up countries since the fall of the
berlin wall? I have had 4 responses so far with various prices from 15-25
dollars for the same as you are posting but nobody can tell me for sure if the
new Europe configuaration of countries is on it.

If yours does and Cameron doesn't want it and it includes all docs/box/case
then please let me know soon and I'll take it.

Hi there;  You are right when you say a person should be accountable for their
actions. Censoring porno material will not solve the problem. Porno material is
like seeing a big icecream cone or a cool drinks ad on TV. It stimulates the
desire, to have what is shown, and we all know how people and in particular
little kids respond to ads. If it along with other actions wo
uld reduce the crime of rape, then I'd be for it. thanks for the response.

You may be right, but the SCSI drives are 2 to 3 times more expensive than the
IDE ones (compare the NEC 3X SCSI [$600] or Toshiba 2X SCSI [$480] with the
Mitsumi 2X [A mere $200!].  Evidently, this leads me to question the extra cost
of a SCSI and the benefits it brings.  Performance wise, the Mitsumi doesn't
lag the NEC by that much (250ms access vs 195ms access and 375kb transfer vs
450kb transfer).  And I believe the Mitsumi doesn't need a caddy.  Have you
heard much about the Mitsumi drives?  How kind of drive are you presently
using?

Thanks for your input!

Kenneth

I think the problem is due to the different way in which the amiga
implements file and directory names, a friend of mine bought round one
of his amiga disks and all I could read was the root directory, the only
way for me to read stuff of the disk was for him to load it on his
machine and for me to log into it using a bbs program.

Hello Charles!

12 Jul 94, Charles Cheng writes to Steve Mann:

 CC> It has been a fair while since you advertised any new CD's for sale in
 CC> this echo. Has there been anything new or have you stopped your retail
 CC> business? It would be a lost if you are only concentrating on wholesale.
 CC> I would rather buy mail order from the U.S. than dealing with some of the
 CC> resellers here. Yours sincerely, Charles.

A couple of months ago I got sick of reading all the repetitious commercial ads
from the US (and some Australian) dealers and did not wish people to feel the
same way about mine.  It was getting out of hand with everyone exploiting the
obvious loopholes in the 10 line limit.  I decided to advertise here only
occasionally.

I was pleased to see that new rules were introduced just recently to close
these loopholes and severely restrict the commercial use of this echo.

As for concentrating on wholesale, this is partially true.  The number of
retail customers had grown to the point where my wife (with my help) could not
handle any more, so the reduction in advertising was justified on these grounds
also.

Our solution to the above problem involves a merger with another company that
currently sells only retail.  Our plan is to form one new company with separate
retail and wholesale divisions.  Our customers will benefit from increased
purchasing power plus the ability to call during business hours 5 days a week
(a shortcoming of our existing business).

Our new business name will be Pacific Beach Software (PBS).  In a short time
you (and others on our mailing list) will receive a new catalogue under this
name with a cover letter from myself explaining the benefits and reasons for
the change.  All this is scheduled to be in place before I leave for the US for
a conference early next month.

Regards,
Steve

 +-------------------------------+

Stopping graffiti... is due to its tortious nature.  It harms the
property of another... and thats why it wrong and restricted.  IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CONTENT.

As for "porno stuff", thats a unconstitutionally vague term.  What
exactly do you mean by "porno stuff"?

And will society really fall... or will we all just become "MINDLESS
FOLLOWERS OF RULES"... which YOU seem to think we ALL NEED?  Just
remember something Fred... if we let our government go to far... and
assume the POWER TO TELL US WHAT WE CAN READ OR WRITE... we'll NEVER be
able to get that "right" back (one only need look at the history of
governments).

If you don't want it, don't buy it or look at it.  BUT DON'T KID
YOURSELF BY THINKING that you, and/or society, has some "superior right"
enabling you to decide what others should or not read/write.  Its
thinking like yours that does the most harm.  You say basically... "I
don't need the ______ right to do ______ so give it away."  Shame on you
for being so willing to give up rights that our founding fathers died
for.

Very Yours Truly,
John

Hi,
Most of the new batch of SB series report the same problem. I think there is
as insulation problem or something similar. However their SCSI Interface
works very good.

You misunderstood the ad, the subject lines read "CD PRICES 1/2" and
"CD PRICES 2/2" which meant message 1 or 2 and message 2 of 2, not half
price. The price on NO 12 however, is excellent. I will let it go

        I had a problem similiar to the one you are having, but the
        cause was a fingerprint on the CD itself. After cleaning the CD
        the problem went away. You might try this first.

I haven't been reading much of the games mags lately so I have no idea

 JF> I am inside the rocket ship, but can't get it to fly. Any ideas?
 JF> thanks.

Flying in is a one way (don't quote me).  You will have to enter the bui
figuring out the tune to open the doors.  Here's the walkthru to better
this age (Probably the toughest!).  Any more help, just ask, Rich

 This is a bare bones walk through of the Stoneship Age of MYST.  Althou
not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to solve the puzzle
and find the pages, are covered.

The walk through begins in the Stoneship Age, at the starting point.  If
you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see
walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Mys
books on the island.  You begin on the rear deck of the ship.  Make you
along the pl anks to the small island with the umbrella on it.  There ar
three swiches here.  The first one pumps the water out of the ship, the
second pumps the water out of the tunnels and the third pumps the water
of the lighthouse basement.  Press the th ird one and return to the ship
Follow the planks to the lighthouse.  Go down to the basement and turn t
spigot on the chest so that the water runs out of it.  Close the spigot
return to the switches by the umbrella.  Turn on the second switch,
clearing the way into the tunnels and flooding the lighthouse basement.

Return to the lighthouse, the water will have floated the chest up to th
boards.  The key chained to the boards in front of the ladder will open
chest when you click on it.  Inside the chest is the key to the trap doo
above the ladder.  Open the lock with this key and climb up to the top o
the lighthouse.  Turn the generator handle to charge the batteries.  (Yo
will have to return here to do this anytime the lights go out during you
stay in this age.)  There is a level indicator on the battery to see if
is fully charged.  Go to the tunnels and search the bedrooms at the bott
of each.  You should find a red page, a blue page, and the left half of
note.  Write down the words on the note so you can refer to it when you
find the right half.  There is a typo (believe it or not) in the note.
Substitute the word "on" for the word "off" in the third line from the
bottom.  On one of the landings in the stairways leading down to the
bedrooms is a secret panel.  Find it and open it.  Inside is a compass
surrounded by buttons.   To determine which button to press, find the
stairs leading to the top of the island and the spy glass on a stand. (B
ure the battery in the lighthouse is fully charged before going up.)  Lo
through and, using the "hand", rotate the view until you find the
lighthouse (which should be blinking).  Note the degrees indicated on th
viewfinder.  Return to the compass in the secret passage.  Press the but
that corresponds to the number of degrees of a circle that the lighthous
was at in the spy glass.  The correct button lights the underwater lamp,
which illuminates this chamber, and the ship cabin.  Return to the switc
by the umbrella, turn on the one that pumps out the ship cabin, and go t
the ship.  Enter the cabin and make you way to the table at the lowest
level.  Clicking on the table will cause the Myst book that transports y
to the Library t o appear.  Use it to return to the Library and put the
page in the book of the same color.  Reading the book will give you part
the story.  Return to the Stoneship Age via the Myst book in the cabin o
the ship at the dock to get the other page an d bring it to the Library
use on the other book.

P.S. !!! I guess I got my ages mixed up.  Disregard what I said and just
read the walkthru.  I hope that the walkthru is right.  Rich

 Ouch? I didn't JUST purchase the SB Pro.. I'm aware of the SB16 (and

 Yes I agree totally with what you are saying but as long as you know what

you can still get real good deals...I've bought several pieces of hardware

Did you get the oil lamp from the beach? go to where you had the unfortunate
encounter with a woman who is really a man. Get the champagne bottle if you
didn't already... Then use the hand icon on the sand. He'll start to make a
sand castle and you'll find an old lamp. Get the lamp. Go to the room where the
fat sucking machine is and fill the lamp with celulite. Then get a match from
the bar and light the lamp. Give the lamp to the woman in the penthouse. You
have to give her the diamond, pearl, bracelet, lamp, words, your necklace that
turned into a wierd statue, the orchid, and the champagne.

Hiya!

I'm after american pricing on Pioneer multi-cd units. Over here in Australia
they cost around $1800-$1900, but there is a possibility of a relative going
OS in the not too distant future.

So back to the question, what is the going price in America?

Thanks in advance,

Why 18 years of age?  Is that the age that the _censors_ consider one to be
able to make one's own decisions.  Why not 15 or 21 even?

Censors will always be there.

Has anyone else had problems with Return To Zork or Indiana Jones locking up
randomly? I have multiple configs and memory doesnt seem to be the problem. I
have a 486dlc40 , sound galaxy BXII ,and a Mitsumi 2X cd. I have spent a
fortune in phone calls to the game companies , the sound card company , with
the only result is them blaming the others product. If anyone has had similiar
problems I would like to hear or if anyone could shed some light on what i
could try next , it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your input....you mentioned that a SCSI can control up to 7 devices,
now I know an IDE controller can control only up to 2 devices but that's not
including cdroms.  Do you know how many cdroms an IDE card can support?

▌█▓would like to know is what is the difference between the disk version of
▌█▓m
▌█▓d the CD version of doom.
▌█▓
▌█▓There appear to be 2 "CD versions" of Doom - the one from the 5 Foot
▌█▓10 Pack is
▌█▓the SAME as the Shareware Doom part one, the one direct from Apogee
▌█▓includes all
▌█▓three parts and is classed as preregistered Shareware (or is what you
▌█▓recieve FOR your registration).


So will they ever have a registered version of it on CD or will they put
Doom 2 on CD.  Also does doom cd have anything like CD's have.  Voice,
better sound and music, etc.

If I remember correctly, go to the plaque above the scissors in the tower
when it is pointed at the boat...it will give you 3 dates...you enter these
dates into the control panel in the observatory...each one will give you a
specific constellation...refer to the book about the StoneShip Age...it will
show, at the end, I think 8 constellations which represent symbols...spider,
leaf, etc...figure out which constellations fit the ones you found in the
observatory...then press those three signs which surround the pond with the
boat inside...that will raise the boat by the dock...hope it helps...

Can anyone please tell me why I can't get Return to Zork (brand new CD) to
work?  I can do all of the installation, but when I try to start it, it does
the Infocom screen, and then just sits that with a blank screen forever.  I
did get it to work one time (to where it shows the animation of the house).  I
can't get any sound, either (I have a PAS 16).  Is it memory?  I have 4 megs,
but I'm not sure if I have enough free (I tried the boot disk).  Or is it that
I have my drive compressed w/DoubleSpace?  I've tried just about everything,
including defragmenting the drive, but I just can't get it to work!

Your Mitsumi should work just fine with the Galaxy system as long as
you get the current updated drivers. If your dealer doesn't have them
call Galaxy direct and they will provide them for you free of charge.

Not for long Brice !!

Pioneer has informed us that there will be an across the board price
increase within the next few weeks. In fact, we were told that the
1804X will increase in price by $400.00.

So, if anyones thinking of getting one, they'd better do it soon before
the increase. The days's of bargin 6 disk changers seem like they will
be over soon.

Hope this helps...

ending?).  I didn't even know there was a hintbook, it probably would

Jose,
  Mi espanol esta muy pobre asi por favor excusa cualquiera idioma del
confunde.
  He tomado solo dos anos de espanol y tambien tenia que estar pendiente un
programa de la traduccion del software llamo "MicroTac Spanish Assistant
por Windows" para traducir su mensaje.
     Acerca de su problema aqui esta que pienso que debe hacer. Qu* debe
hacer est* enmienda su "MSCDEX.EXE" archivo adentro su "[autoexec.bat]"
archivo con un/ L:D cambia.  Este le har* su D a su CD-ROM unidad, y le
har* asimismo el unidad del E a su Ramdisk.
     Estaba muy confuso por como describi* la carga de las fichero de
configuracion del dispositivo y su preferencia por no tiene cualquieras
fichero de configuracion del dispositivo cargo del "[config.sys]" fichero.
 Favor de explicar en condiciones mis simples de que trata de decir.
     No, no estaba a mucho dificultad.  De cualquier modo que, si habla
ingl*s, por favor contesta en ingles si esta en absoluto posible. Si
recuerdo correctamente, se deben escribir mensajes en esta conferencia en
English. I se puede alargar tambien a uno del e-correo direccion abajo.
Suerte buena.

P.S. Espero que la traduccion retroceda a espanol no es a malo.

English translation below:

Jose,
     My Spanish is very poor so please excuse any confusing language.  I
have taken only two years of Spanish and I also had to depend of a software
translation program called "MicroTac Spanish Assistant for Windows" in
order to translate your message.
     As to your problem, here is what I think you should do. What you
should do is amend your "MSCDEX.EXE" file in your "autoexec.bat" file with
a /L:D switch.  This will make your CD-ROM your D drive, and will also make
your Ramdisk the E drive.
     I was very confused by how you described the loading of the device
drivers and your preference for not having any device drivers loaded from
the "config.sys" file.  Could you please explain in simpler terms of what
you are trying to say.
     No, you were not to much trouble.  However, if you do speak English,
please reply in English if it is at all possible. If I recall correctly,
messages in this conference must be written in English.I can also be
reached at one of the e-mail addresses below.  Good luck.


P.S. I hope the translation back to Spanish is not to bad.

Someone reported a cheat which will let you hit an escape key to skip
to the next Chapter.  You will learn all of the passwords along the way
and see the entire story.  When the game first starts up and you get
the Lucas Arts logo moving, push the joystick up and press fire, move
the stick down and fire, left and fire, then right and fire.  You will
hear a bell and a sing song voice say "lucas arts."  You can then hit
escape to get you to the next scene.

I have Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia
It came free with my SB16ASP and has every thing I ever wanted to look
up.  Although not as glamorous as Encarta, it does offer more
information and articles.  You can pick it up for about $33.00.

I got the same exact thing on my SB16ASP.  Its a sound blaster
compatibility problem.  I haven't found a solution yet.  My
recommendation?  Return it.  I went and bought Outpost instead.

P.S. Curious at how a Sound blaster product isn't 100% Sound blaster
compatible.  I've gotten this problem on a quarter of the programs I
run.  And when thats not there, I have very high-pitched static.

    I won't tell everything about the game but i'll tell you a hint.
To solve question one, you must do question 2.  To know which button to
press you must look through the telescope when the light on the lighthouse
is on.  That's all, you must think of the hint from the telescope to figure
it out.  I had to do it all alone.  That's the hardest puzzle in the game I
think.  Ask me if you need anymore help.     -Duc Huynh

Well if you ship within a week, then I guess my 90 days is considered a week to
you??????

I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE DISK you charged me $136.00 FOR back on APRIL
15th 94.

I have tried every way possible to contact you except flying back and go face
to face yet you refuse to ship me the CD's nor will you even bother to write me
and let me know whats going on.  You will soon.. Don't be suprise when you get
a knock on the door from the Federal Marshals.

My hard disk is full! Maybe I'll try this message section thing.

Hey I couldn't help but see that you mentioned that CD-ROM's are so slow it
doesn't matter well let me let you in on something I recently found.  There
is a new program out called d-Time10 and it is a CD-ROM accelerator (not
cache) it makes your CD-ROM as fast as your hard drive by using all of your
system resources and a optional file on your hard drive.  This program is
arouL╘J√nd $70.00 and that is not bad for something that will make a single
speed drive faster than a Quad speed.  I swear this is the truth.  Any
questions let me know or if you want to talk to the company they are local I
think the # is 698(or 692)-9660 give them a call there are dealer in Tacoma.

This is do to the fact that CD-ROMS are slow in performace you probably have
a double speed and it has a transfer rate of around 300kb a sec and the
access time is aroun 300ms that right there is the problem if you purchased a
Hard Disk with these specifications you would probably slap the sales person
but yet we all buy are CD-ROMS with these specs.  You have a few options one
would be upgrade to a faster CD-ROM you can get a tripple for aroun $400 or a
Quad for $1000.  But I happen to have a better solution for you their is a
new product called d-Time10 this is a CD-ROM accelerator and will make your
CD-ROM as fast as your hard drive.  This is not a cache and shouldn't be
confused as such this product is fairly new and I think it is only on the
west coast right now but it works great and the company that makes it is
local here in Washington Ballard Synergy their # is (206)698(or 692 ?)-9660
the product sells for around $70 and is well worth it if you have any more
questions or if you purchase it let me know.
