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.

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 don't know...have you played Myst?  *That's* a disappointing ending, if you

It screams "sequel" though.

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

It's just a version of DOS 6.0 with the compression engine removed due to the

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*)

* I have a particular wish to swap for
Ultima 8 Pagan
The Edler Scrolls
Dungeon Hack - or similar new release RPG games
drop a line if interested

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

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.

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.  --

I have a Mitsumi single speed CD drive. When the sys boots it loads the
driver and creates the drive specified in the command line.
It plays music cd's fine. But when you put in a Data disk (like for a
BBS) it gives me a   CDR101 NOT READY .
Don't understand what that is.

Does the DMA and IRQ mean a lot for music and data disks or just data

Anyone got a idea

Dont bother with the passwords!  When the Lucas arts title screen
appears, move the joystick up, then fire, down, fire, left fire and
right and fire.  You should hear a funny voice say LUCAS ARTS.  From
then on, you can push numbers 1 through 9 and letters A through H to
move to any chapter you wish. The Escape key will advance you also.
Pressing SHIFT and the = key will restore your energy.  Hope this helps!

The CD-Rom itself is identical as the full-version, but the full-versions comes
with a book (so I've been told).

RR>CD's...
RR>thanks..bob

 The FAO Gold CD's have no BBS Logos or advertisements. Also, FG is
 a compilation of the best scans of the FAO series + many new scans
 of the same quality.

 Hope that answered your question.

PW| What does MPC stand for???

Multimedia Personal Computer, or Multimedia PC.  It's a standard
which has now been updated to version 2.  MPC2 is the recommended
level for new purchases now, since it incorporates the faster

    On 07-15-94, PAUL SEGAL to ALL, "CD Jewel Cases"

PS|> I have many hundreds of Kodak CD ROM Jewel Cases that I can sell at 50
PS|> cents each. Please leave me a message either here or in the Photo
PS|> Conference.

    Hi Paul.

    What exactly are jewel cases?  Are they like the normal CD cases,
    or is there more to it?  I'm looking for 10 CD cases (not caddies)
    for my 5ft. 10 pack.

    thanks.

                         //~>    <<~~

BB>Hiya!
BB>
BB>I'm after american pricing on Pioneer multi-cd units. Over here in Australia
BB>they cost around $1800-$1900, but there is a possibility of a relative going
BB>OS in the not too distant future.
BB>
BB>So back to the question, what is the going price in America?

    If I may offer a suggestion. We are now shipping our Panarray CD-ROM
    mini tower. These units have 4 double speed drives in an external case
    with 150W power supply and extra cooling fans. The advantage is that the
    drives can be accesed individualy instead of having to change the disk
    like the Pioneer units. They come with controller card and cables for
    a plug and play setup. They can also be stacked (one controller for
    each Panarray) and only cost $795 US.

KL>now I know an IDE controller can control only up to 2 devices but that's not
KL>including cdroms.  Do you know how many cdroms an IDE card can support?

    A current technology IDE controler can not support a CD-ROM. One company
    has come out with an IDE cd-ROM but the name escapes me. Right now you
    can buy an IDE hard drive controller that will handle 4 hard drives, and
    the Panasonic 562/563 can be chained to 4 drives on its propriatary card,
    or on some sound cards. This gives a total potential of 4 hard drives,
    a tape drive, and 4 cd-ROM for a total of 9 units on a non SCSI computer.

Hi John, There are rights, non-rights, and implied rights. You and I do not
have the right to kill our selves (at least at the moment). Anything, that
would adversely affect my children, or stimulate some one with little or no
control over their mind and errogenious senses is porno to me. I don't buy nor
do I look at it, however, there was a time. It lowers the respect of people to
the other sex, and contibutes nothing to society other than some people make it
their livelyhood. Have a good one. Back at you.  Fred..

*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.

I beat this game also, but was really disapointed with the ending (what
ending?).  I didn't even know there was a hintbook, it probably would
have saved me a lot of sleep.

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.

     We just published a CDROM (Solar-1) which contains a ton of text files on
it (renewable energy stuff) with a few GIFs thrown in. In particular I would
have liked to include an index/search engine in it. Anyone have suggestions on
a reasonable cost software to accomplish this? Ideally I would like such to
provide services for PC's and Mac's.
    I am also interested in hypertext authoring software in this case to apply
to the back issues of Home Power magazine we put on the disk. I have texts and
gifs representing these issues I'd like to present a little better. For our
first cut I put out a decently organized data set sans front end (only made 300
disks) but want to do better next time around. Suggestions welcome.

Re:RTZ CD
Mike, It's on it's way.. I sent it out today (7/20) Air mail.. It cost $6.99!
So.. I'd appreciate it if you could get the extra $1.99 to me.. I really didn't
think it would cost this much!!  I coulda sent it ground for $5.08, but I
didn't think you'd want to wait 6-8 weeks! They told me Air should take a week
or less..
I figured approx. $2.00 shipping included in my price in the US.. You added
$3.00.. But it came to $6.99.  So however you think you can get it here will be

I forget what it stands for, but what it is.. OEM versions are the EXACT same
versions as anything else EXCEPT it ONLY comes with the CD and THAT'S IT.. no
kinds of docs or manuals or anything.. and ya, you can buy things WAY cheaper
this way..

 SM> What is so special about the Doom CD version???


There is no 'CD-ROM Version' of Doom...  The shareware Doom can be distributed
on CD-ROM without restraint.  The Registered version is available ONLY from
id, and they don't put it on CD-ROM.

What people are talking about is The Ultimate Doom Companion CD, which is a
CD-ROM filled with extra sounds, graphics, levels, and editors for Doom...

Julio,
I heard you mention you are from Brazil!  Please, tell me about your
countries celebration after your thrilling victory over Italy!  Are
you located in Sao Paulo (or however you spell it)?
I have always been a Brazilian fan, and I am pleased to see they are
in the lead w/ 4 Cups!
You must admit that the US really put up a fight in the 2nd round!
I realize that the US just got really lucky to hold them out until the
73rd minute, but still, they deserve some credit.
Are the Brazillians mad at Pele?  I heard some were after he said his
favorite was Colombia (even the US beat them!).
Could you tell me if Romario is in your country like Michael Jordan is
(was) in our country?  If you have no idea who Micheal Jordan is, he's
a famous pro basketball player up here, and kids/adults practically
worshipped him.
Thanks!
Brett Ryder

    Yeah, like NEC supports any of their drives.  Have you ever tried
getting through to tech support?  And nobody down there even bothers
to look at their BBS for questions.  NEC may make good drives, but
they definitely do NOT support them.

Sorry, I have nothing to trade (in the CD-ROM range, at least)

 BA> Call 273-4659

Sorry, but this is too far for me. I live in Belgium (Europe) and phone is too
expensive in the scope of trading second-hand stuff. I'm ready to pay cash
(letter) or by bank tranfer to the account you specify. You can send the stuff
to my private address :

Mathieu Notéris
39 avenue Marechal Joffre
1190 Brussels
Belgium - EUROPA

Contact me by private mail at 2:291/705.2989 or by phone (if you can afford
that at (+32)-2-343.52.24

May be could you send these two CDs COD ? This is another possibility ....

Best regards

Mathieu

Are you plugging them into the FRONT plug of the CD?
Try using them in the "out put" plug from the Sound card itself.

Jerry,

Thanks for the reply, yes I have bought from this company, and their super
people. Jeanne and her husband Chris own the company, and seem very good
people. They seem that they can't do enough for you. Yes they take credit card
and if you in a hurry, you can have your products the next day.

Thats why I just bought a single speed, it's just for the bbs and don't need
the speed.

Matt,a good friend of mine has started a business that cuts CD-ROM discs
for sysops and end-users who need their data transferred.
If you provide the data on DC-2120 type backup tapes in QIC-80 format,
he will cut up to 650 megs. onto an extended length CD-ROM disc for only
$50 (plus shipping costs to return the tapes and the disc(s) to you since
you're an out of town customer). If interested,you can contact him at
Murray Master CD Services: 1-314-487-5099. Ask for Mark Murray.

(Oh,and just a quick warning - the extended length CD-ROM discs that Mark
uses read fine in most CD-ROM drives, but the Mitsumi drives have problems
with them. If you're got a Mitsumi CD drive,you might not want to use his
service....)

Hi,
   I need some help with the game called The Seventh Guest.  I have a
Gateway 2000 486DX2 50 mhz with a Sony Double Speed Drive and A Pro Audio
sound card (I am not sure about the card but it takes a Jazz.sys sound
driver).  The game loads fine but after it plays for a minute or two it gets
real slow and it seems like it almost quits reading from the disk.  I have
tried all the fixes that Virgin Software has on their BBS and nothing seems
to help.

 Stardate 9687.29, it was heard

###Why 18 years of age?  Is that the age that the _censors_ consider one to b
###able to make one's own decisions.  Why not 15 or 21 even?
###
###Censors will always be there.
 +-------------------------------+

Hmm... point well taken.

I'm not sure whether drawing a line at 18 years of age is the best
possible option.  Many 25+ year olds are only as mature as your average
high school children.  But, the line has to be drawn somewhere... and 18
years of age is when one officially becomes an adult in the United
States.

The nice thing about a "bright line" age requirement is that it does not
leave... whether someone should be allowed to see it, read it, or sell
it... up to some executive.  Thus if you got a valid id... you decide
for yourself.  You can't get more reasonably American than that.

Regards,
John

BY> I have trouble playing Music CDs through Sound Blaster Pro too.  I
BY> can't hearanything.  hmm.. can you help?

In order to play regular music CDs through your computer's CDROM drive, you
need to have an audio cable coming out of your CDROM drive going into your
sound card,...  Then you need software that will address the regular audio CDs
to navigate through the song titles,...  If you don't have an internal audio
cable hooked up to your sound card, you can use the software to navigate the
audio CD, but use the headphone jack on the front of your drive (if you have
one) to listen via speakers or a stereo headset.

Just the thing you need:
when "Lucas Arts" is spinning around in the begining, use the joystick,
(Or the mouse I found works too)  and do: up, click (button 1) down,
click, left, click, right, click.  If you did it right, it should say
"Lucas Arts" in a funny voice, after it gets done spinning.  Then press
any # to go to any level, several of the letters work for the higher
levels too.  esc to go to the next level, and shift with = to reduce
damage done to you.

My friend had the same problem.  Turned out he didn't set the IRQ

Have fun, it's a great game.

I hope you realize that you have an illegal copy of Doom! I just talked

registered version of Doom on CD is illegal. The company in Germany that
made it, did it illegally.

Actually... that is only half correct. The US Postal System handles
our mail only to the port (NY, SF, Miami ect) At that time the Army
takes charge of it. That one of the big reasons for abnormal delays
when you guys ship FedEx. Regular mail works sooo much better. FedEx
does have some problems outside of America regardless if its APO of
German mail.

Wait a min... your in business and are not set up to accept credit
cards?  C'mon Terry,  think of the BOOST your business gets if you
are. Besides, my credit card has saved my butt on too many occasions
not to every do business without it. I know merchants accounts are
getting harder and harder to get but you should at least try.

OK I'll beleive that when I see it. Talk about cutting off your nose to
spite your face, this one oughta just make it a dumb deal for any sysop
(biggest purchaser of Pioneers PAK's) to buy them at all. Especially
with so many chainable double spins out there going for $129-$139 and
the big added bonus... if one breaks you got three more eh? So... if
they sell for $2100 now that putst them at $2500, for that much I bet
I can get 25 double spins, not that the bbs even needs double spins.

At any rate... I'll betcha dont sell many once this ?? price rise goes
into effect..

Actually, when I saw the ending I wasn't sure if it was an ending.  It really
isn't much.  By ending, I mean some sort of "you win" screen or anything.  Myst
doesn't even give you the credits when it ends.  You get the credits whenever
you exit the game (which I find really annoying).  Sure, the graphics in Myst
are great and the some of the puzzles are ingenious.  It's just that ending
that bugs me.

I'm still waiting on 11th Hour.  When's it coming out?  End of July?

Hi Brett!

I had the same problem with my PAS 16. Reconfigure the program and pick the
Soundblaster option. Somehow, the program won't work with the PAS 16
option.

Hope this works!

I got Jump Raven CD and inorder to get it running, I had to install
an included MicroSoft Win32S set of files.  Allong with several .dll
files added to my Window directory, the setup altered my
SYSTEM.INI by the following as depicted with DOS FC.exe.

Comparing files SYSTEM.INI and SYSTEM.OLD
***** SYSTEM.INI
; append MS Mixer Manager
drivers=mmsystem.dll mmmixer.dll msmixmgr.dll winmm16.dll

***** SYSTEM.OLD
; append MS Mixer Manager
drivers=mmsystem.dll mmmixer.dll msmixmgr.dll

*****

***** SYSTEM.INI
[386Enh]
device=E:\WIND\SYSTEM\WIN32S\W32S.386
DMABUFFERSIZE=056
***** SYSTEM.OLD
[386Enh]
DMABUFFERSIZE=056
*****

The MS utility also included and installed a solitare-like game to
test for successful install. The game went into MS's created
WIN32APP\FREECELL subdirectory.

Does anyone have any idea what win32 does?

I just bought the Doom Companion, and it has NO wad files, no sounds, just
editors and the shareware doom! The CD i saw is the Doom Accessoryu Pack...I am
not satisfied with the Doom Companion.  I bought it from Star Vector, and I
hope I can return it.  They told me it had the 500+ levels and so forth...But
it did not at all!!!

    Dear users


              There is a cool new BBS in town, It is called
              The Lily Pad BBS. It is not as great as this
              system but it is a good system. The Number is
              522-1348, You will need the New User Password
              which is "Freeze", you use the (A)pply to BBS
              and it will ask you your handle, Put a handle
              in and then it will ask you for the Newuser password
              put it in and start filling out the questionairs.


              You will have to wait to get access for about a
              day or so.


                                     Thanx....

I have recently purchased a P-5/90 system and am having trouble
installing my Mitsumi double speed CD-ROM.  For some reason the
system is not loading the driver MTMCDE.SYS.  I have a feeling a
special driver is required to work with the P-5 system.  What I
would like to know is:

          1.   Does such a driver exist?

          2.   Can it be Freqed or DLed?

          3.   Does anyone have a phone number for Mitsumi tech
               support?

Any assistance would be appreciated.  I thank you all in advance.

There is the new version of the Journeyman project out this month. It is
already out on the mack....It requires less memory, and play is much
faster. Cool looking graphics and sound, but game play is very linear.
There are a limited number of "correct options". If you like games which
require a LOT of thought, this one is for you.

░▒▓
░▒▓Ouch!! I only caught snippets of the whole saga, and I must admit to

Sorry to interupt, but what happened here?  When you refer to adult CD's,
do you mean those that are commonly available *gif format shareware titles
available from retailers?

Thanks Bill,  I'll give your suggestion a try.  However, If I do this, how
does MSCDEX get a different designator for each drive?  The DOS 6.2 help
file tells me the parameters for MSCDEX and 2 CD-ROM drives, but I need
to get the 2 designators from 1 incarnation of CDMKE.sys don't I?

 Hope someone can shed some light on this..

 My SBPRO CD - It's one of the earlier ones (Matsushita 521B) purchased a
couple of years ago is coming up with some interesting errors.

 Upon bootup it runs ok, but has the habit of coming up with read errors (as if
the disk was not inserted properly) after a couple of hours. Embarrasing thing
is that it is running on a BBS.

 I've taken it apart to blow any dust & dirt fragments off it's innards, and
noticed that there is a small brushlike mechanism on the end of a plastic arm,
which seems to be part of the eject mechanism. This brush thing appears to be
worn - I think it comes in contact with the CD to push away grit particles of
the CD before being picked up by the read head, or alternatively to brush the
actual read head. Could the worn "brush" be the reason why the CD-ROM drive is
playing up??. It's usually solved by ejecting the disk and re-inserting it, but
that turns into a catch 22 situation as it errors out a couple of hours later..
Can someone shed some light on this one - I'm losing callers due to the
sporadic nature of the CD-ROM drive. If it is the problem, can anyone suggest
as to where I might find a replacement "brush" - it appears to be stuck on by
some kind of adhesive tape. Rather than toss the drive, I'd rather fix it - I
currently cant justify replacing it.

 Any hints or light shed on the above appreciated.

   Cheers,

    John

 GC> Is a cd-rom slower than a hard disk?
 GC> My is a double speed.... About how many Mhz would that be?
 GC> I can't remeber is it in Mhz's?

The speed is in Milliseconds for the access time and Megabytes per second for
transfer rate. If you have a double speed CD ROM the access time is likely to
be around 320 milliseconds and the data transfer will be 300 KB/Second average.
This is about one twentieth the speed of a modern hard drive. :-)

I think it's more than a SB problem as I have MegRace and a SB 16 and it
worked from day one with NO problems.  I also have close to 10 other CD
games and they all work fine.  Also all Apogee, Epic and other shareware
games work fine.


TWO questions.

Did you configure the card correctly and then LEAVE all the lines it
added to your autoexec.bat ?  There should be 4 lines there.  I'm asking
as I deleted 2 of the lines at first and had nothing but problems.

Turn AGM:OFF, line:off and trebel, bass and MIC about half way down.


You sure you have an actual SB card and NOT a SB clone.  There is a big
difference between "some" clones and real SB cards.

This is a great board, but everyone is taking advantage of it.  Let's
try to upload more files than we download.  If everyone contributes,
lets say 2 or 3 files each, we will have between 600-1000 new files for
everyone to choose from... now think about that...wouldn't that be
great!!!  Do some good.  I will admit myself, I am guilty, but I will
upload 5 files within this week.  So, to help the Sysop and this board,
UPLOAD!!!!

        Hello everyone!  Can anyone tell me what I need to get my Trantor T130
SCSI adapter card working with my Texel DM-3024 cdrom drive, under MSDOS 6.2?
Seems the drivers, specifically some thing called "MSCDEX" (some kind of memory
resident extension to DOS) does not like to run with MSDOS 6.2.  I had it all
running fine under DOS 5.0, however have since upgraded my system to 6.2.  I
would hate to have to install v5.0 of DOS all over again, seeing as I just
finnished re-formatting my HD and stuff in prep for v6.2.

       Does anyone know if there is a software driver update/fix for this scsi
interface card?  Does Trantor even still make this card?  If drivers are not
available, can anyone suggest a reasonably priced card I could upgrade to?  I
was thinking of upgrading anyways, seeing as though the T130 card is only 8
bit.  Also.... if I upgraded to a 16 bit card, would I notice an improvement in
the performance of the Texel cdrom drive?

      Any thoughts or suggestions as to how I can fix this problem would be
appreciated.  Thanks in advance!  Later...

   I believe the Chinon 435 is SCSI, but since there was no standard CD-ROM
command set in SCSI-1 you need a special driver to translate the SCSI-2
commands to something your CD-ROM understands.  Chinon did produce such drivers
(*.FLT) for OS/2 2.0, so you might be able to find them on a BBS.  You will
also need an *.ADD driver for the host adapter -- if it is not supported you
may need to upgrade to one that is.

 CS> Does anyone know which CD rom player is best for OS/2 and Dos ?

 CS> I have heard good things about Mitsumi and Sony. Does anyone
 CS> reccomend these ?

   I would recommend buying a SCSI CD-ROM.  I simply don't trust the mfrs of
low end proprietary interface units to continue supporting them with new
drivers after the ATA CD-ROMs hit the market later this year.
   If you want to keep costs down, you should be able to get a double speed
Toshiba XM4101 and an Adaptec host adapter for $250 or so.

Does anyone know where I can get a cable to hook a Sony 33A cd-rom to a SB Pro
card? I mean a audio not a controler hookup.

Thanks

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for all your help though, I wish everyone ran a business like you do!

B.j.,
It apparently was the sound card configuration... I can't use the Pro Audio
Spectrum 16 for the sound effects, or it doesn't work, so I am forced to use
the Soundblaster Clone.  The soundblaster clone doesn't have very clear
speech, so I am still trying to fix the problem.  When I use the other SB
cards (Pro, 16, or original) I have clear sound, but I get some high squeals
and clicking every now and then.  For the music, I can use the Pro Audio
Spectrum (not 16, which isn't supported anyways).
Before I got the clone to work, I did defrag my hard drive, so that may have
also helped.
Thanks!

Michael,
I'm not sure, but I ordered Return to Zork, which was supposedly a "OEM"
version, and in the mail I got just the little booklet and the CD.  No
box or big manual, just that tiny little booklet.  On the front of the
booklet, it says: "Not for separate resale." and "This product is only
to be sold with computer hardware or peripheral devices." <-- neither
of which I purchased with the game.  Whether this is some sort of black
market, I don't know, so perhaps I was sold this game illegally.
Hope that helps

So, the FAO pix have BBS logos and other ads in them? Both are considered

Hi, I just purchased a Mitsumi double speed CD Rom player ( FX0001D ).
And the quality of the video playback is questionable. I only have a
couple of CDs right now. One is the Corel Quick Tour, and the other a
CD magazine called IE. Both run under windows, and are .AVI Video For
Windows. I am using the DMA transfer method. My machine is a 486dx2 66
w/8Meg, and a  Cirrus Logic local bus video card (1 Meg). I have
endlessly fooled around with different size windows swap files,
smartdrive cache, and CD buffer. And it always has the same problem, the
video playback runs fine for a bit then stops for a second then runs
fine then stops again, etc. Could somebody PLEASE help, should it be
doing this, is this drive this crappy or am I doing something wrong?
Could someone with a similar setup give me some help, thanks!

Hi!
I was planning to buy a CD-ROM soon, but I was told by a computer
rep for a major company that when the CD-read/write is available
(within about a year), the CD-ROM unit cannot be upgraded to handle
read/write. She suggested waiting til CD-read/writes are on the market,
instead of getting a CD-ROM now. Any comments?

May not want to rush out and buy the first new read/write CD-ROM.
They will probably be exspensive and with less features than the
follou-ups
models which will probably be cheaper with a few more conveinient
features.
I like to wait till the reviews come out to find out what doesn't work
with
what.

Hi, Joanne!
I agree --- I never rush out to buy something, especially for the
computer. Let somebody else find the bugs and fix them, THEN I'll
rush out to get it! <G>
As much as I'd like a CD-ROM, I'll just have to wait til the read/write
hits the market at REAL prices, not those phone numbers they sell for
now. I've waited this long to switch from a 286 to a 486, so I can
hold on another year for CD-whatevers!
Have a great holiday! Happy New Year!

Hello,




Since some time, i'm the proud owner of a Sony CDU33A CD-ROM player.
All seems to work fine, so my question doesn't involve a serious
problem,  really.

My question is about the interface, in that case i refer to the
interface shipped with it. (At this time i use the interface
built into my Soundman Games).


The driver shipped with the CD-ROM player (SLCD.SYS ver 1.73a)
states the possible use of DMA-transferring, by using the /M:D
option, but it's not possible to set the DMA-channel on the
interface, although the connections for 2 dipswitches for
DACK/DRQ are already on the interface-print.



My question:

Is it possible to use DMA-transferring with the Sony CDU33A
instead of the currently (well working) used I/O-polled
interfacing, and if so; what are the advantages? Could I safely
make the connections myself on the interface-board? (has anyone
done this before)

Secondly, is it possible to use another interface (IDE/floppy)
with the Sony CDU33A, the connector (2*17 pins, 1 row constant
on ground) resembles the floppy-connector, or am i just making
up things?

I understand this is not just one question, but maybe someone of
you could help me solve them (partly).

Thanks!

 The cheapest CD-ROM for the performance I've seen is the Mitsumi FX001D.
 It's double speed at 350K transfers, 280 MS (at single speed). I bought it
 with a nice PAStudio 16 at Atman's. Price for the drive is $134. It's
 caddyless. Oh yeah, beware, they don't have shrink-wrapped things, but the
 hardware is NEW. Atman's address: 5856 Geary Blvd., SF, CA 94121. M-F 10-6.
 Sat 11-5, Sun 12-5. This is not and ad. I just like the CD-ROM and think
 it's a good deal.

Hi:
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
What this means as far as CD rom's go is usually they come as a free-bee
in sound blaster packages and the vendor takes them out and sells them
separetly at a much better price than if you purchased the package
elsewhere.  I've found no problems with OEM cd roms and usually pay 60
to 70 % less for them.  Some times the OEM packages come with little
documentation.  But for the savings, thats OK.
Hope this helps

A friend of mine has an IMB PS/2 386SX/16 MHz machine, with 6mb RAM and
the Microchannel bus. He wants to (1) upgrade the machine to CD-ROM and
other multimedia capability, or (2) buy a basic multimedia-capable
machine, whichever is cheaper. Any thoughts? I've heard that
Microchannel is a pain to upgrade.

Yeah, you got it!  And it is pretty cool, too!  (It has an option called

lot, but seems to give you better quality sound.  The only thing I don't
like about it is that it does not have an EQ built-in.. so I could not
boost the base or something like that..

Those machines are too expensive for me.  The low-end SGI would cost
$5000+ (with a good monitor).  That's too much for me..  but I do plan
to get a Pentium-90Mhz this fall when I go to college.

Helo, Chris..

  Your computer is fast enough.  (On the ad of "ReelMagic", it claims
that you only need 386-16..  don't know about that, but I think your CPU
should be fine..)  NEC 3Xe is "too good" for Reel Magic.  It only
require a SINGLE speed CD-ROM, so your CD-ROM is definitely OK.  Since
you have a ProAudio Spectrum 16 already, there is a version of ReelMagic
called "ReelMagic Lite", which is the same ReelMagic card without the
sound card built-in.. save you about $50 dollars..  but you have to
decide what you want to get yourself.  Video card shouldn't have any
problem...  OK.. now.. the OS/2..  I don't know about OS/2 + ReelMagic
combination..  So if you can, ask the sales person or their tech support
if you can.  OS/2 is the only problem I can think of, otherwise your
computer is fine for ReelMagic card.

later!

I would recommend a new machine.  First, the 386SX-16 is NOT very fast
if you want to do some multimedia..  Second, as you mentioned,
Microchannel..  you will have a problem finding a sound card.  (CD-ROM
should not have any problem, though..)  So upgrade to a more powerful
machine.. you can get a Pentium-60 for under $2000 now..

###Hi John, There are rights, non-rights, and implied rights. You and I do no

###would adversely affect my children, or stimulate some one with little or n
###control over their mind and errogenious senses is porno to me. I don't buy

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

Interestingly... the founding fathers left out the RIGHT to "end one's
own life."  Taking one's own life only indirectly affects others... so
it should be one's choice whether or not to do it in any given
situation (considering this is America for GOD's sake).

As for "porno", that is not a classification that passes constitutional
muster for valid censorship.  The line is currently drawn at "obscene
materials"... which as stated by U.S. Supreme Court decision(s): (1)
appeal to the prurient (shameful or morbid) interest in sex; (2) portray
sex in a patently offensive way (local comunity standard allowable); and
(3) do not have any serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific
value (using a NATIONAL, reasonable person standard, rather than the
contemporary community standard).

If all porno was illegal... or banned... we would be so far down that
slippery slope that we might as well put on some skis to help us save
time on the trip to "destination FreedomLESS, USA."  ;-)

Minors of course are "another story"... and should be.  It should be
illegal to posses material depicting people below the age of 18 having
sex... because it takes the profit motive away... and children need to
be protected.  Also, it should be illegal for minors to posess adult
type materials... because "they are minors and not old enough to
decide for themselves at that age."

I take exception though, with the claim that pornography lowers respect
for anyone (women or men).  You, and those that you've heard say it
before, have no definitive proof for that assertion... and merely have a
honest belief that "it must be true."  The claimed "harm" is just to
causally indirect, if even, and plain to unproven for us to say... "oh
well, guess we shouldn't complain about losing the "RIGHT" to choose for
ourselves whether we want to SUBJECT OURSELVES to what someone else
thinks is obscene."

In the final anaylsis, even so called "obscene materials" should be
constitutionally protected free speech.  Its just too hard to draw a
line... and just who is gonna draw that line for "each and everyone
of us" anyways?

Ever hear of the slippery slope?  Ever read the book "1984" or "Animal
Farm"? (No answer requested... just trying to drive home a point that
no one gives a damn about anymore.)

Also, every wonder why a government that can't balance it's own check
book... can supposedly make "proper MORAL decisions" about what we
should/shouldn't read or write?  I do...

Regards,
John

BTW... there is nothing that UPSETS ME MORE than to see people so
willing to give up RIGHTS that they don't need (anymore or never did).
Shame on you (to those people... not specifically directed towards
yourself)... you don't deserve the RIGHTS you have, and if you keep it
up... you won't have any RIGHTS left to mindlessly give away in the
future.  LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE PEOPLE... not just whats right in front
of your face (public plea for a return to sanity)... and try to look
down the road at THE END RESULT of this censorship garbage.

... To hell with the Prime Directive! FIRE!!!!!!

I don't know if you came acroos roads in the book. Roads are supposed to be
laid down from a mine to the smelter and then you have to make trucks in a
factory. The problem is, roads aren't available until the upgrade comes out.
Monorails and AI's aren't availabe either. Getting back to your question, the
seed lander has a smelter. It works pretty good. I normally build a secondary
smelter touching the mine. It seems to work. Also there are some cheat codes
that I figured out. Hit ctrl-F11 this will give you unlimited resources.
Ctrl-F12 changes your crime, education, and morale levels(you can put them at
minimum or maximum. Ctrl-F9 lets your mass driver cannon misfire which causes
the enemy colony to be damaged. By the time I discover mass drivers, the rebel
colony gives up. If your morale is 1000, the rebels will leave their colony and

Fred,

FK>I have recently purchased a P-5/90 system and am having trouble
FK>installing my Mitsumi double speed CD-ROM.  For some reason the
FK>system is not loading the driver MTMCDE.SYS.  I have a feeling a
FK>special driver is required to work with the P-5 system.  What I
FK>would like to know is:

Yes, as far as I know the Double spin Mitsumi is not supposed to be
using MTMCDE.SYS, it uses another driver. Forgot what the name was I
think it has an "A" in it somewhere. Look around for that driver and the
problem should be solved. I should find the exact name of the driver in
the next message.

Regards,

*Parik Shah*

(P.S. How come the package didn't come with the proper drivers?)

Hallo All!

Someone wrote in this area that the Sony CDU33A-01 is actually a single speed
drive. He also wrote that this drive only reads CD's up to 540Mb.
Can anyone tell me if this is true. In the manual is nothing what could confirm
this.

        If you read some of the other replies to my message, there is
apparently a patch for the SB16 available on the Software Toolworks
BBS(415-883-7145). It's the dual DMA channels that goof up some
software that is only written for 8-bit Soundblasters sometimes
changing your 16 bit DMA channel to the same one as your 8-bit helps as
well.

Ever since my CD-ROM was installed about a month ago, there has been a
vibration inside the drive when I boot up and when I use the drive. It has
gotten more intense until the tray which holds the disk actually came out. Up
until this point, I had been able to use the CD-ROM drive without a problem
because the vibration stopped once the disk was inside and the door shut. Now I
am getting a message during the boot up that the device driver cannot be found.
It is a Media Vision machine with a button to insert or eject the disk. I
purchased it mail order and had a local dealer  install it when I upgraded to a
486. He said not to worry as long as I  was able to use the drive (which I was
able to do until a few days ago). The customer service hotline at MediaVision
described it as a mechanical problem and said I could return it for a
replacement. I will do that if I have to, but do not want to go through
installation again. I would appreciate any feedback on what could be causing
the problem and whether it's something I can "tighten up" or adjust myself. I
have not looked inside to check it out yet and would like some ideas on what to
look for.

        I wish to use smartdrv.exe to give me a ram cache of my CDROM.  It's a
Panasonic double speed model CR-562-b.  How do I do this?
        Also I'd like to compare the following specs:  disk speed 400-1060rpm:
data capacity 540MB (12cm): data transfer rate DV 300kbytes (standard) and from
buffer 2.3MB. Random access time NV 380ms, DV 320ms: Fullstroke NV 660ms, DV
640ms: Buffer size 64K: Softread errors <10exp9: Hardread erros <10exp-12:
correction 10exp-9: Power req +5v 1A, 12V 1.5A: laser GaAIAs, 790+-1.5deg,
0.14mW.  Also specs for a SB16 clone, SN ratio 80dB, distortion .2%(1khz).
        If you can post some data I'd appreciate it.  Thus far smartdrve wont
let me cache the CDROM.

left.
I would be happy to swap these for Ultima 8 and Myst - and will even 'throw in'
EOB 2 if you have'nt already got it :)
I seem to have run out of netmail credit but will wait for your response before
commiting the games above to anyone else.

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

Every OEM game I've ever bought differed from the regular version in
only one way: they didn't come in fancy boxes.

Well. There you go. Are we interested in boxes or discs?
I thought so.

Well What version of smartdrive are you running? The 6.22 extensions of dos 6
offers cd rom caching on the smartdrive, but not on vs before that.

I had a smillar problem with certain avi files. Apparently some are made with
higher resolution, and more fps and made just for doublespeed cd's, and when
played back tend to lag on sceens while sound is playing, it looks like a fault
of the cdrom not being able to supply the data fast enough.

Sure, I know of someone who bought one of the first cd rom's when they came
out. He paid a large some for a single spin with a caddy. Now he had (has) a
double speed that cost a third as much and a nice drawer. Go with a cd rom now,
and wait for the read/write cd's to get standardized and drop in price.

Hello All, I need some assistance with a small problem I am having loading 3
CD-Roms online .... I run an Adaptec 1542b and in my config.sys, I have these
lines....
                       device=c:\adapt\aspi4dos.sys /d
                       device=c:\adapt\aspicd.sys /d:aspicd0

What happens is that if i only have one CD connected, it runs thru this with no
problems and the mcsdex in the autoexec.bat loads the drive as my "G" drive...
If I connect the 2nd and/or 3rd cd's inline with the other one and reboot, the
aspi4dos recognizes them and the aspicd sees the 1st one, then the second one
and then locks up.......

My question is... Is there a flag or something that goes before or after the
/d:aspicd0 in the command line of aspicd.sys or what do i need to do to get it
to recognize the other 2 drives....... If it makes any difference, the cd roms
are Toshiba 3201b drives and all configured the same except drive numbers which
are 2 / 4 / 6    .......

my address in fido is 1:3612/381 or voice is 904-457-7463 .... if you can help
me with this, please call or send me a message........

Thanx in advance.....
Karl

Ya, you must be new the the fido net, or at least to this echo, because back
when this game was first out, that was THE talk, all of the patches (I think
they are up to 17 of them now!!), all the cheats, and of course this.  Gets
kind of boring after you've skipped to all the levels, seen all the animations,
and seenthe end.  I just borrowed the game, so it didn't bother me.  Have fun
either way.

Not sure about that John I'm running OS2 and it automatically picked up the

like /2 or something

I need some help. ( Don't we all!?)

I just purchased the CD "GBL - Alternative Lifestyles" BBS ready CD for my BBS.


The problem is, it only came with about a third of the _Files.BBS_ file lists
for all of the directories.

Is there anyone out there that is running this CD that has the total files.bbs
lists that I could get from them? If so, could you post a BBS # that I could
call and grab them? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks

                Donna,

If she means the WORM drives (Write Once Read Many) [which are basically
cd-roms, except you get to put what you want on them ONCE], then I
personally don't think it's worth it to wait.. I mean, to buy a WORM
drive when a Cd-rom does the same thing (except you can't customize your
own cd's.. which, in a way, *is* a plus, but not _too_ big of a plus) is
practically pointless..

Now, if she meant that you can write and delete a cd like a hard drive,
I've NEVER heard of one of those! :) I mean, if they are making these
things, where are they?!? <G>

        Eric,

No. (Not to the best of my knowledge..) True, Grolier's IS made by
Software Toolworks.. However, Software Toolworks makes their own. I've
seen the Software Toolworks Illustrated Encylopedia, but not the
Multimedia one (IF they make one).. Personally, I've got the Grolier's
Multimedia Encylopedia version 6.. Only $25. Probably cheaper now, and
it's a great encylopedia!

    How many drives can you hook up to that controller card?  Does it take one
card per CD?

I have a feeling you are using the wrong version of DOS with MSCDEX.  Make sure
that if you have a separate directory where your CD DRIVE calls on MSCDEX, that
it's the same DOS version.  By the way, MSCDEX is a MSDOS file.  Just copy the
one from your DOS directory to wherever the other one is..

I'm not quite sure if I got the problem right but it sounds like MSCDEX might
be an old version?  If so, a new one comes with DOS. You should be able to use
SETVER to have DOS lie to MSCDEX and tell it that you are running v5.0.  Hope
some of that helps.

I received something in the mail from Chinon about OS/2 compatibility upgrades,
but I'm not sure if it applies to your drive (I don't own a Chinon).  It
involved a low-cost controller switch, if I remember correctly.

Call Chinon for the most accurate information.

 Well FYI I have a good friend here in Germany that distributes CD's
 as well and I was just looking at his price list. Hows NO12 for $6 or
 Monster Disk Best of 93 for $15 sound? Humm aint seen that one in this
 echo for less than $39, so to me looks like the mark up is just fine
 for you fellows. That looks like a 100% (plus) mark up to me. If he can
 get them for that price in Germany, then somethings wrong if the guys
 in the states cant match or beat his deals... like switch distributers!

 His normal prices are comparable to the prices in this echo, On
 occations I see his prices are less than in here. I aint heard him
 poor mouthing about his cut on cdrom disk prices lately. And no...
 he does'nt have any employees either. Runs a small computer store
 here in Germany by himself.

Although I only have one of the "GOLD" series, what I noticed right off
the bat was that the GOLD series quality of pictures was much better.
The original "FAO" series had some really terrible gifs, b&w, and some
very untasteful pictures on it. Not to mention the amount of dupes. If
your looking to buy... IMHO go with the GOLD

various BBS's throughout the US due to someone reposting messages. Tried it on
Falcon shortly thereafter and got nada; 'file missing..' and stuff.. Tried it
just now twice again for good luck and got a Lost Carrier.

Did you ever get my netmail? Didn't you used to have a USR online?

I still would like an electronic version of you catalog, though.
Can you crash me one on this nodenumber or to Ron Huiskes at 2:281/506, he has
an order-record, if that helps. :)

I just saw your ad and there are some discs I would like to know more about.

 Hi Eric.... I have the same setup as you, except I have the Mitsumi CRMC-FX

 and 8 megs on board and have had GREAT performance from the system. If you

The submersible lamp is indeed turned on in the secret passage way.  But
which ^$#^(!# button.  First, make sure the batteries have a full charge
in the lighthouse, go to the telescope on top of the hill and pan the
view until you see the "CLUE".  Note the bearing of the clue.  Also,
notice that the pattern you see in the hidden passage looks like an old
compass design.  When you press the appropriate button, the sunken
galley will be visible and you can return to the Island of Myst.

BG>Could someone tell me what oem is? I saw it on an ad for seventh guest.
BG>...Brian

I believe OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer.  What OEM
means when you buy something marked OEM is that you won't be getting
the full deal.  For instance, if there are books that come with the
full deal, you won't be getting them.  Usually, OEM versions are just
the CD with a little licensing sheet.  The cover of the CD (If it even
has that!) has all the info you get with an OEM.  It is almost always
cheaper to buy OEMs and if you don't use the books, why buy them.  The
only other question is whether it is right to buy some of them or not.
A lot of the OEMs I have seen say right on them "For sale with the
purchase of a new computer only" yet they are for sale stand alone.
You'll have to decide for yourself.
Cheers

hundred disks.  I think I have read about someone doing this in this

 Is anyone  playing 7th Guest ?

 I heard there is a cheat for this game. You have to type some

 word. Does anyone know what is the cheat?

 The puzzles are quite hard except some of them which you can solve

 almost instantly. I got stuck on two of them.

 First one : Flipping picture. How do you solve this?

 Second one : Microscope. This one is driving me crazy for a few days now.
                          Is there any strategy for this one?

computer gamig world. There's a solution for the problem, i believe. I you
want, i'll look it up for you. It's an awesome game to be missing.

Has anyone played Lands of Lore on cd? This is a pretty good game.

The Mitsumi would cost $129 without controller.
The Pana and Sony does not come with controller. Most people hook them
with sound card. The Mitsumi have fast access time but small cache would
make it run slow in true application test.
There is a shortage of Panasonic drives. Prices may go up. But Sony and
Mitsumi may go down later. The longer you wait the cheaper you pay for.
I try to provide good service instead of least expensive.

 RK> Call you own foreign BBS's and complain there.

 Please do the same as I am seeing your complaints which were posted
 on what (to me) is a foreign BBS.  Alternatively, learn how FIDO
 works before posting messages like this.

Unfortunately, Yes you'll have to get a faster display card.

Do you have a D/S cd-rom drive and is it set to D/S mode?
I can't remember if you stated this or not.

Have you had many other replies regarding the problem?

Let me know what you decide and how it turns out as i'm thinking of getting
a faster display card in the future.

Even worse is that the person you so nastily attacked was an AMERICAN

1. RE: COMMONWEALTH CLASSIFICATION BILL

   The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is now attempting to put through legislation to
delete all states Censorship legislation into one Federal Bill.
        - I believe this bill is unconstitutional & will make it extremely
difficult for individual states to bring in their own classification system, if
they so desire in the future.   It also represents a further concentration of
censorship powers into the hands of only those in Canberra.
       - More importantly, the federal bill apparently includes a disallowance
of the R & X rated computer games classification categories.  This means NO
state will be able to sell, distribute or in many cases possess such games.  It
means that the states of Vic, QLD, SA & WA do not need to pass legislation
against Computer games, like the A.C.T, N.T & N.S.W have just done, the Federal
bill circumvents that necessity.
       - IMHO this bill must be rejected by Federal Parliament. 2. RE: Senate
Select Committee, latest REPORT on OVERSEAS SOURCED AUDIOTEX
       SERVICES, VIDEO & COMPUTER GAMES, R-RATED MATERIAL ON PAY-TV.

    This report includes the fact that one of the members of the
Committee,Senator J W Tierney (Lib, NSW) has given notice in the Senate to
disallow those sections of the state ACT Classification of Publications
Ordinance which allow R & X classifications.
         - Apparently the Federal Government maintains the control of this
ordinance & not the A.C.T state legislature.  The Seat of Government
(Administration) Act of 1910 apparently permits them to do this.  I believe
this is also unconstitutional & circumvents the legitimate powers of the A.C.T
state legislature.
         - Two things need to be reversed here
             (1) The R & X games disallowance move by Senator Tierney,
             (2) The A.C.T Classification of Publications Ordinance
                 &/or Seat of Government Act need to be modified in
                 such a way that the Federal Government has NO power of
                 control over this ordinance.

3. YOUR ACTIONS AGAINST THESE MOVES ARE VERY IMPORTANT:
   ---------------------------------------------------
   Send your letters of protest to;-
         - All members of the Federal Senate Select Committee,
           especially Senator Tierney,
         - The Federal Attorney-General, Michael Lavarch
         - The Prime Minister, Paul Keating,
         - The Federal Minister for Communications & Arts, Michael Lee,
         - The Federal Minister for Consumer Affairs, Jeannette Mchugh,
         - ALL State Attorney-Generals, since they decided in a closed
           meeting to agree to all of this, with little consultation !
         - Your local Federal MP,
         - Your local State MP.

If anyone wants any address details for the above people leave me a message &
I'll post the details.
        I have also noticed in the right-wing press (no newspaper names !) that
Michael Lavarch is considering legislation against BBSs'.  Sounds like the
Federal BBS Taskforce has decided to legislate in its recommendations.  I wait
can't for their report.  I'm sure it will make as much fascinating reading as
the Senate Select Committee did (NOT !).

Hi Phillip,

I think Media Vision has a patch for the Gateway 2000. You may want to
check with them.

Good Luck!

Hello All:

I want to but a CD-ROM drive.  I have a 386dx-40 with 4 mg RAM, ProAudio-16
Spectrum sound card.  The sound card supports SCSI.  I think I want a double
spin drive and I need Audio capabilities.

Anyone with info on a drive that will work well with my setup please respond.
I have been told that mitsumi or NEC will work OK.

If you have one to sell or know the best place to order from, let me know.

THANK YOU


Dan (:^))

     Replace the XXXX with the size of memory you which to use to cache
     while in DOS,  ZZZZ is the size while running Windows.

     Replace the D with the drive letter of your CD-Rom.

Hi Tony,
You can usually find those at a store called Software, Etc. or any other
store that handles such hardware.  I've seen them in small packages and
you can easily hook them up to the SbPro...I think that one lead on the
connector may have to be rewired to match polarity but any employee at
such a store will be able to tell you.  I have the number of a local
Software, Etc. store here in KC  [phone].  They carry the
particular item you are looking for.  Good luck!

I have a Sound FX 16 sound card.  It's Sound Blaster Pro 2 and Windows Sound
System compatible.  The thing is, on most compressed drives the transfer rate
is too slow for the highest quality 16-bit sound.  Does this mean that
CD-ROMs are actually faster than a compressed drive?  You know that CD-ROM
software manufacturers aren't gonna stop with 8-bit sound.  By the way, my
CD-ROM player is a double speed.  What I'm getting at is this:  if a CD-ROM
is faster than a compressed hard drive, why not get a writable CD-ROM drive
and put your hard drive on a CD.  If you left 100mb or so left on the CD, the
programs could still do all its temp work.

Don't mean to BUTT INN...but as A Postal Employee,  and a Military Vet
and worked Postal for more than 17 years (in both sectors). When the Army
takes charge of the mail from the NY, SF, Miami FPO's, they are still under
Postal Regulations, along with Dept Of Def and Dep of Army Postal
Regulations. Even thier MOS designation is Postal Clerk, ect. But to say
we of the Postal service stops it's handling of the mails to the APO/FPO's of
NY, SF, Miami, it continues with those who are in the Military.

Could anyone help me with a problem with my creative  labs cdrom?
I  am using it with a reveal /ensoniq card as the controller (it supports
panasonic drives) and every now and then as mscdex is loading
i receive a cd rom drive not ready or interface not connected.  I am using
memmaker (from dos 6.20) and have it running on a compaq presario.  Could
someone with a similar setup that  is not quite as buggy help me by showing me
their autoexec.bat and config.sys setups? thanks. Scott

So what your saying is that I can start a company and call it MicroSoft
and make a product and call it MSDOS and Windows and there is nothing
that anyone can do to me.  Then I can use their name to falsely make
people think I am them selling their merchandise ?

Copyright, Trademark, servicemark however you want to nitpick,
it IS illegal.

DD >Censors will always be there.

It used to be 21 years of age, but the furor over the Vietnam war forced
government to lower the age of "majority" to 18.  An arbitrary age had to
be set, because we, as a society, refuse to teach our children anything but
the three "R's". We've found it easier to prevent their exposure to a
subject matter, than to answer the questions that inevitably follow.
Religions have been doing it for thousands of years, governments, slightly
less.

DOS runs fine. I have a bunch of CD's and the ones that run through windows are
always choppy.  I've tried different swap files and everything.  I only have 4
meg RAM, too.  I don't know what to do either.

Hi White Zombie here.  Just wondering if anybody can help me out in the Tree
World on the game, the one where you go to by going in the elevator in the big
tree.  I know how to get to the world and how to get out and somewhat on how
the pipe system works.  This is the only age I have left to beat.  Thanks to
anyone who can help!!!

    We have the Panasonic 562 drives available and feel they are excellent.
    Suported by OS/2 now natively they san also be chained to 4 drives on

    about a year. Price with controller is $159.

    We are also beginning next week marketing our new product called the
    Panarray. 4 drives, external case, 200W power supply, 3 cooling fans,
    cables, and controller for $795.

    Yoy may be interested in our new product the Panarray. 4 double speed
    drives, in an external case with 220w power supply and 3 cooling fans.
    Plug and play including data cable and controller card for $795.
    You can also stack them with one controller to each Panarray on a
    different IO. For your network, load the driver on the box(node) it's
    hooked up to, let the driver grab the box's first available 4 drives,
    and then remap them.

    Look at the back of the drive itself. You will see a jumper array with
    0-3. Default is 0 (drive one) rejump the other to 1. You do not need
    to do anything to CDMKE.SYS other than maybe use the /N:2 for number of
    drives.

  Yes, they use the Sony CDU-33, the only drive currently available
  that can handle the CD-I linier format. You can't use any other

I have found that with my texel cd-rom I have to have two cords or adapters in
my computer, one is the big huge 50 pin SCSI cord, used for games and the
other, a little tiny one is used for playing CD with music instead of files. I
don't know if this will help but there is my idea..did you install it
yourself??
later,
Kevin

JR>I've seen the Software Toolworks Illustrated Encyclopedia, but not JR>the
Multimedia one..

 Joey/Eric,
 I'd have to say "YES" they're the same thing.. My Software Toolworks
Encyclopedia (both 92 & 93) are actually THE Grolier's and Software Toolworks
distributes (put's their name on them) them.. These are the multimedia
versons.. True, the older ('90) Software Toolworks Illustrated IS not
Grolier's, and it's  not multimedia either..
Joey, I also have the Grolier's version 6, but it also has 'Software Toolworks'
on it.. I'd bet they're the same encyclopedia..

 I skipped your other reply when I saw this one posted.

 Yes, the FAO discs have the BBS logos and advertisements, the FG discs
 do not. And yes again, the pictures a quite graphic. I would not
 recommend anyone who is not secure in their own sexuality looking at
 them.

Well mpeg compression doesn't neccesary come into it when your talking about
"TV quality" movies. The reason the compression is so high is simply because
full motion video with sound takes so much space, that in order to put a movie
on cd you'd have to compress it 200 to 1. With the mpeg format the video output
is about the same as that of a vhs vcr in Standard play, and the audio is
comperable to Hifi on vcr tapes. In order to improve the display to about say,
laserdisc quality they would have to make movies several disks long.

Go upstairs and when you see the room with the coins puzzle to your left, make
a right turn so you can go to the attic.  You'll see a knife puzzle on the

EMS considered putting the service pack on its OS/2 CD-ROM is June, but
the OS/2 librarian didn't quite get it delivered on time. I don't know
if it will be on the August edition. As of June 1, I was told the Hobbes
CD did NOT have the service pack (and hence our thoughts to include it
on ours).

    I saw Sherlock Holmes game for $30.  Is it worth it?  This has no
box.  Should I wait for a lower price?  What do you think the rating is
from 1 to 10.  (1 as the worst).  Please tell me if you have played it and
not "heard" about it.

Someone posted a "cheat" that I can't get to work.  You are supposed to
type "Zaphod Beeblebrox" on the "main screen", whatever that is... I
think others have posted that they couldn't get this to work either.
Someone said that the flipping face picture and the microscope are
nearly impossible and are simply a matter of luck but are not necessary
to solve in order to complete the game.  I couldn't get either one and
it took me forever to get the caskets closed.  I still don't know how I
did it.  What did you think of the ending?

You can go outside the house?  How?  I thought I'd been through the
entire game?  I've tried to go out the kitchen door but it won't let
me.  Have you gone to the attic?  That's the last place to go with the
multi tower puzzle and then the mediocre ending.

MSDos 6.2 came with its own MSCDEX.EXE. When loading that particular file,

Donna, you can already get drives that write CD-ROMS.  But, they are
extrememly expensive!  Also, you can buy a 2x spin cd-rom drive now for
as low as $159.  Unless you can afford a few "grand" I'd opt for a 2x
spin now.

This is a correction for the first message. You can install (4) card per
machine, One cd per card.

(4) port address's per card and (4) IRQ's per card.

On the last msg I wrote for comm per card which was wrong

You are full of it.  Sure you really did all this over a few CD's.
Yeah right.  I said crap like this myself many times before but never
actually did anything.

Just confess.  You sat there at home and DID nothing but sulk thinking
up BS to spout off here.

Now your going to stop the made up magazines from printing your ads,
well most mags need ads MONTHS in advance and if you actually sent yours
in when you said you did, it WILL be in print.

Please name these made up magazines and I will bet you every CD Brice
sells that your ad will NOT be in a single solitary one of them.

More gibberish false talk.  You have NO pull and besides you WHINING
here, your doing NOTHING of the kind.  Stop the BS already.

Next time goto your local software store to buy CDs.  Then you could go
there in person and rant and whine and maybe even urinate on the floor
if they accidentally mess up your order.

My question is this, I have an intel 486dx33 512k ati video, a sony 2x cd rom
hooked to my SB16 Multycd. When T7G installs it lists my kbyte speed as 150. I
have a double speed cdrom and the frames per second of the game is questionably
slow. Is there a way I can force double speed mode on my cd rom?

Go ahead and go with the NEC cd rom, their double spin series will give you
good performance, or you may opt for the triple or quadruple spin.

I am looking for someone that has a writable CD Rom drive that offers
the service of putting software on CD.  I am interested in putting
all of my licensed software on just one cd instead of a couple
hundred disks.  I think I have read about someone doing this in this
echo.  Please respond with prices and other details.  I have access
to a Connor tape backup to send the data for the CD.

 Hi Stewart.  I also have a Panasonic CD drive.  In order to
 get Smartdrive to cache your cd drive, you must first have
 the latest version of Smartdrive, it should come with Dos
 6.2, and then you have to have loaded the CD driver before
 you load smartdrive.  If the drive is a valid drive when
 smartdrive is loaded, it will find it and set up caching
 for it.  As far as the specs you asked for, mine will be
 either the same as yours or very close, so there's no point
 in posting them here.
 Cheers

It stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.  The product is the exact
same, it's just the packaging that's different.  As far as software goes, it
also usually means that you don't get a warranty card or the documentation
as well.

Actually, they are the same things, Joey. Grolier does the
encyclopedia, Software Toolworks does the marketing, inluding
in the past their own OEM version. These days you should only
see Grolier from version 6.0 on, or so.

Years ago I did a word-for-word comparison and they were the
same even then. Although there were differences in versions.
And of course there have been the corporate press releases
to that end in past months. Cheers!

Well, oddly enough, Bob, a lot of people do by books with bad pictures.
And, oddly enough, if you were to ask me an example it would be
encyclopedias! Never quite thought of it that way, and I thank you
for bringing it to my attention.

Even back when I was a kid -- shortly after books were invented,
it feels like -- I distinctly remember two things about the
encyclopedias available in our home and nearby library. They were
stuffed with information. The pictures were bland at best and
really ranged from drab to "What's that?"

To be honest I've never been too critical of pictures, tended
to gloss over them for the multimedia effects and main engine
etc. I've just got the new Windows version of World Book
Information Finder and will pay particularly close attention
now. Until now InfoFinder was DOS and text only. Cheers!

Help me. All the files in the rom area are gone...  Must have more gore file
for Wolf3d in software vault2 Rom.  By the way, does anyone have the
executioners game??  I like blood!  I don't know how to download the files
when they are not on the CD-ROM.  If you don't get the rom changed I'll
destroy you all.  Foolish Mortals!

10 CD's Insured Airmail to Austrailia is $32 for shipping. Most Austrailian

Hi.  R/W CDRoms are in Computer Shopper magazine. The price has a bite.
A add is in here somewhere for the service of writing one disc at 59.95
One CDRom will take up a lot less space than 150 3.5 disks.  You can buy
a simple read only for 65.00 plus shipping from Boris Osadciw at
1-800-243-0517.  I have just bought one for the computer I am building my
mom and will soon buy one for me.  I paid 100.00 no shipping and bought
it local. They are single speed but why buy a cd rom that is faster than
computer.  I hope this helps.
James

I recently bought about a dozen CDs to help populate an 18-disk changer I just
got for my BBS.  I was very pleased with most of the non-adult CDs, but this
wasn't the case with the non-adult ones, so I decided to post my opinions here
so other SysOps might benefit from my experiences with these disks.

These opinions are in no way meant to take away from Dave Clark's reviews (I
number him among my friends).  The opinions expressed here are my own.

Title:      Busty Babes 2

This disk is the first of four adult disks I'll discuss this week.

What I didn't like:

1.  The first thing I did with this disk was a DIR /S.  Reported some 417 meg
in about 3000 files.  Not good from a format that is capable of 680 meg and
often has at least 650 meg.  Figure he owes me about 240 meg right off the
bat.

2.  Next, I loaded Xtree Gold to have a good look.  What I found next made me
madder than just about anything I've ever seen on CDs: Of the paltry 417 meg
of files on this *adult* disk, only 208 meg are actually adult!!!  Of that
208, 16 meg are thumbnails of the other adult images, leaving only 192 meg of
normal adult images and text files.  I haven't checked yet, but I'd bet money
that at least 90% of the non-adult files on this disk are duped somewhere
among the other 23 CDs I have on-line.

3.  Each image is followed by a screen (sometimes two screens) of annoying
copyright notices.  This is only a minor complaint.  I understand the
motivation behind it.

What I liked:

1.  All of the images I viewed are at least 800x600x256.  Many are
1024x756x256.

2.  Each directory has a FILES.BBS, so adding the disk to my RA database was a
snap.  PCBoard format would be nice, with the longer descriptions...


Summary:

When I shell out my hard-earned for an adult disk for my BBS, I expect at
least 600 meg of adult files.  For that matter, when I buy ANY CD, I expect at
least 600 meg of files!  To present a disk as adult, then have it only contain
about 200 meg of adult files smacks of trying to rip off the buying public.

I'll be removing this disk as soon as I find a suitable replacement, which
should be pathetically easy.

If you're a SysOp, don't even think of using this disk.  If you're not a
SysOp, you'll appreciate the quality of the images.  Buy it if you don't mind
only 200 meg for the price of 600.

On a second note, for the life of me I could not get past about 9 or so levels,
I just could not catch up to the main car.  I got a new Stealth 64 VESA card
and all of the sudden my car is a hell of a lot faster!!!  I guess it runs on
video speed more than I thought.  Now I'm a killer behind the wheel!

I have a Sony CDU-541 internal SCSI CD-ROM for sale.  This is a single

works very well with the PAS.  Includes SCSI and audio cable for the PAS,
along with the latest software drivers for the Pro Audio Spectrum.

Price is $ 125 including shipping.  If interested, reply via message

     Does $25 COD sound okay?  I could have gotten one for that price but I
lost the message, and the board deleted it due to message bas overflow..

*** Quoting Bevis Lowry to Tony Saunders ***

BL>Hi there.  I noticed you talking about the journeyman project.  I'm
BL>in the
BL>market for a new CD-ROM game, and I'm wondering how good it is.

Hi Bevis.I quite like Journeyman Project but you have to patient with it
as it is fairly slow in starting up.If you have played Myst you are used
to slow games speed.You really need a 486/33 with 8 meg of ram to play it
properly but if you like being a masochist you can run it on a 386 with 4
meg of ram.The Story is pretty good sorta like a scifi version of Myst I
suppose.You have to travel back to various points in time to correct rips
in the space time contiuum.

BL>  Have you ever
BL>played MYST?  How does it compare?

Not quite as good as Myst but still enjoyable if you can handle the slow
speed

BL>  If YOU'RE looking for a new CD-ROM game, I recommend MYST.

Yes,Myst is a great game can't wait for the sequel.I am hanging out for
The 11th Hour at the moment if it ever gets released :)

BL>Thanks for
BL>your time.

No problems,See ya
Tony.

Ok,you've convinced me I will get a heatsink/fan combination.

I have no intentions of going up to 50Mhz.Vesa is only rated to 40Mhz so I
will stick to that.

Hi all you Cd Lovers.
Just a short note about a CD Magazine called CD ROM Today.
Probably July August edition.
What happens you buy the Mag with a CD Rom attached.
When you open the CD Rom you find that the CD is buckled
because of the thin cardboard backing and the shrink wrap
that buckles the CD and the cardboard when packed.
I don't know about the Mag wither is is good or not, just you
can't read the CD Rom because in there wisdom they packed the
Disc on top of thin cardboard giving no support to the CD.
I took it back to the shop and all the rest of the CD's where
all the same. Buckled.
What i seen of the mag looks ok, at $12.00 Australian it's a
little bit expensive, it contains Demos new levels of Spear
of Destiny plus other things i have forgotten about.
So if you buy this Mag, what out for the buckled CD, you CD Rom
Drive won't read a bent disk.
Cheers Steve Chapman

Hi y'all! Is there anyone out there who could give me a bit of help with my
CD-ROM installation?? Well, not exactly 4 the installation, coz it's already
installed, but I just wanted 2 know if it would be possible to play audio cd's
on a cd-rom even if the cd drive isn't plugged into the sound card, coz I've
got a 16 bit sound card, but the cd-rom interface is SCSI and the drive isn't,
so I bought a controller card for the drive, which has also got an interface
for the really thin lead which is supposed to be 4 the sound, when u play audio
cd's, so I was wondering if you could plug the thin lead from the cd drive into
the controller card,
and then somehow redirect the sound from the controller card to the sound card,
which could probably B possible coz SCSI has got nothing 2 do with sound. If
anyone knows anything 2 do with this, could U please reply since I would really
love 2 play audio cd's during those boring Windows sessions!!! Thanx, cya's all

    Well, the Sony CDU33A  is  a  double speed drive!  And I

     Scott,

     I am really tempted to order this CD and even more since the price
     reduction.

     I would like to know if this CD can be shipped to Canada ?

     Did you ever shipped one to Canada and did it reach the customer or
     was it intercepted at Customs ?

     PS.  I really enjoy the Mega Demo CD which I have received from your
          store (Profit Group).  Thank you.

The two driver that came with the Mitsumi CD-ROM (double spin) were:

                MTMCDE.SYS - Device driver for software interrupt transfer
                MTMCDS.SYS - Device driver for software polling.

Neither work on my p-5/90.  They did work on the 386 I had.  I understand there
is an updated driver which I have to come up with.

Thanks for the help.

█▌▐  Hi Mike I finished the game sometime ago and never could figure how
     to get to the shed. Whats out there? I really don't know what your
     not doing but I know to end the game you have to go in the attic
     and solve the doll house puzzle and then the game is almost over
     from there. Good luck.

Hello, I don't know a whole lot about CD-ROM drives but I've heard and read
articles that mitsumi drives are not that great.  They are priced real low and
if you can't afford much then any CD-ROM drive is better than nothing.  Now
I've read NEC drives are real good. Especially there new 3x drives.  I have a
panasonic and have never had any problems.  Maybe this will give you a little
advice.

You should be able to get it cheaper. On a scale one to ten. I would
rate it about a 7.
Make sure that it is the one with the three cases to solve. There are a
couple of version out, one which only has one case and one with three.

    I have also finished the game, and with no hints. The boat island was the
toughest though. It bit big time having to crank up the generator every time
I messed up on the degree of the lighthouse puzzle. Oh well. Really cool game
with a sorry ending, usually it is the other way around. post your questions,
I would be happy to answer them.

Does anyone know if the Philips CD-ROM offered by Tiger Software can be
daisy chained.  The drive is a 150KB single speed 300ms access unit w/
proprietary card for ONLY ===$49=== (was $99 in last catalog).

I called Tiger, but they didn't know if you needed two i/f cards to run
to drives, or if they could be chained.  At $49 buck you can't go wrong,
unless you need 4 of 'em and only have two slots left in your system.

Anyone?

The mag. is okay but not as good as CDROM Professional.  The CD itself is quite
good though and well worth the price of the magazine.

I don't think there's much difference with SCSI CDROM drives - it's mainly
the speed of the CDROM drive that counts - ie single speed is slower than
quad-speed etc.

The only advantage in SCSI is that you can connect other SCSI devices
without having to invest in extra controllers - just add the extra SCSI
devices (such as another CDROM, SCANNER, CDROM RECORDER, MAGNETO-OPTICAL
DRIVE etc - just as long as they're SCSI devices)

Incidentally, I thought SCSI-I could support upto 7 devices on the one
controller including itself! as well as SCSI-II....

SCSI-II just has better throughput for data and other features...

Hi, I have recently purchased Critical Path and am having difficulties with
the video display.  The video playback is broken into two screens with garbage
appearing on the lower have of the screen that is periodically updated when the
mouse is moved.  The tech files mention a similar problem and suggest
setting [video] optimize=device in the qtw.ini file.
This unfortuneatley is not making any difference.  It also mentions that this
game can conflict with IRON HELIX.  I have this game.

Any ideas from anyone?
Much appreciated.

Hello Lawrence
    To get the boot disk to load your cd player/mouse/sound blaster
pro, have you tried copying and pasting the commands for the
player/mouse/sound blaster pro from your original autoexec.bat and
config.sys
eg. your original autoexec.bat has:-

set blaster=a220 i7 d1 t4
set sound=c:\sbpro
c:\sbpro\sbp-set /m:12 /voc:12 /cd:12 /fm:12
lh C:\dos\MSCDEX.EXE  /v /e /d:mscd001 /m:15

did you have the above or something similar in the autoexec.bat on
your boot disk? The config.sys should have a line like this:-

devicehigh=c:\cdrom\sbcd.sys /P:220 /S:N0 /d:mscd001

The base memory problem is probably you have too many tsrs in your
conventional memory.  Did you have a line like this in your
config.sys?--->>> device=c:\dos\emm386.exe ram and load all your
tsrs into upper memory block?

hope this helps :-)

    MSCDEX will assign the next available drive letter(s) to the number
    of devices that the driver (the .sys file) found doing a hardware
    scan looking for drives to talk back.  And when they did talk back
    they reported what device number that you set with the jumper on
    the back of the drive.

    You can also tell it what drive letter to start at, but this plays
    havoc if you have then on a net and need to remap then. If they are on
    a net then let the local box that is booting the drives decide the
    drive letters on its own, then remap them.

    I have a couple of microchannel machines(MCA), as their called.  I wanted
to do the same thing, but your friend is quite limited in what he can buy due
to the MCA on IBM's.  He can buy a MCA SCSI card though and hook a CDROM to
that.  Not sure if they make MCA audio cards though, but guess he could hook up
the head phone jack to a stereo.

    I have a Tranto SCSI card that works well in one of my MCA machines,
386-25.  Not sure what they sell for new now aday, but if he is interested he
can send me net mail at 1:2202/5.  I would want $125 for it though.  No
negotiating though!

I thought you might want to know that according to August's Computer

by Insight (1-800-927-9935). You can call them and request a free
catalog. Hope this info helps.

Thomas,
        Here is some info on the Plextor 4X drive, it has a 220ms access
speed, 600KB/sec transfer rate and, hold on to your seat, a 1MG buffer.
It also comes with a two year warranty and uses a caddy to load the cds.
Price is not that bad ($475 - for internal unit), when you think of the
prices on the 3X drives.

BH** Well FYI I have a good friend here in Germany that distributes CD's
BH** as well and I was just looking at his price list. Hows NO12 for $6 or
BH** Monster Disk Best of 93 for $15 sound? Humm aint seen that one in this
BH** echo for less than $39, so to me looks like the mark up is just fine
BH** for you fellows. That looks like a 100% (plus) mark up to me. If he can
BH** get them for that price in Germany, then somethings wrong if the guys
BH** in the states cant match or beat his deals... like switch distributers!

Ben, you're dreaming in technicolor!

NO 12 for $6???? Monster for $15????  ...the only way he gets them and
sells them for that price is probably illegal! The other possibility is
that you don't know how to convert DM into $$$.

100% mark up???  Oooooh, but don't we wish!!!  Right guys?!

No you definitely can not run DOOM modem play at 2400 baud. I'm currently
playing with a 14,400 modem using V42BIS protocol and it works great. I almost
seems faster than stand alone. The Serial Driver for modem play form ID is all
but useless, but there are some drop-in free-ware replacements that support
14,400 V42BIS which I beleive provides a throughput of 57,600. Let me know when
you get setup with the right modem and I'll get you the driver and init string.

Take Care.

                            ────────────────────────

       We'd like to introduce you to a new disk-based newsletter, offered to
   people interested in the legal distribution of commercial software.  Com-
   mercial can mean either software sold  through retail stores or as regis-
   tered Shareware programs sold directly to users. This newsletter can give
   you a means  to let others in the  industry know what  programs are being
   distributed illegally, or you can simply find out about illegal programs.

       The Hack List Newsletter  contains a compilation of  illegal programs
   found on BBS's, in Shareware catalogs, and even on CD-ROM's. It currently
   contains over 356 BBS filenames,  over 139 Commercial program names,  and
   over 124 illegal files found on 33 different Shareware CD-ROM disks. Also
   included is information about  Federal Copyright Laws and how it  affects
   the distribution of software,  along with Hack List News,  which features
   legal and other current news of interest.  If you're a Shareware distrib-
   utor, you'll be able to spot commercial, hacked, and cracked files, or be
   able to decide whether you can legally distribute them.  If you're a pub-
   lisher, you can inform others about the illegal distribution of software.

       We also have a condensed version just for Shareware vendors and those
   who don't need the entire Newsletter. It's simply a printout of programs,
   and other info, for use in comparing to programs already in catalogs.

Hi Charlie.  I am interested in having a cd made.  I have several questions
first though.  1) Am I doing any copyright no-no's by putting my licensed
commercial software all on one cd?  2) Is this a one time shot or can I put
some on now and then add to it later?  3) If I can add on later, what is the
cost for that?  4) What is the max limit of the CD?  5) What format do you
need me to send the data in?  I have access to a Connor tape drive that uses
the QIC80 tapes.  Will this do?
        I know, I know!  This is a lot of questions, but, I'm a curious guy.
Please respond on this echo.  I was going to wait until Chicago comes out to
do this, but, since Chicago is still so far away, I think I may just go ahead
with it.
        Cheers

Yes... and Yes...   The shipping to Canada is actually $1.26 but I'll chip in
the extra 21 cents 'cause I'm such a nice guy! <g>     Just send US funds.

I appreciate the offer and copyrighted material is by far my biggest concern...
however the files on my cd are so up to date (the AVERAGE date is less 80 days
old) it is impossible for
anyone to have more than a small percentage of them (unless they purchase my
disc when it is released).  If I make a special disc with a specific group of
programs, like games or educational, I'll be including programs that are more
than 2 or 3 months old and I'll take you up on the offer.

Hello All!

I'm looking for a BSR CDU-6201-20 CD Reader.  If you have one you would
like to sell let me know through this echo, or by netmail at the address
below.  I do not need the interface card just the CD and Cable.  I think
they were made by Sony for BSR.  I'm interested in buying two.

Are you sure that your CD-ROM can read a CD Audio? If you have really a
multi-session drive i don't see the problem! You have an Audio connector
on your CD-ROM (i think, but i don't have a mitsumi) to connect in the
audio cable socket on your SB. Is it connected?

P.S. I have some difficulty to speak in english because i talk french!

Hi Lou,

LP>Help.  What are the parameters for Buffers in the config and Autoexec for
LP>this CD ROM Drive.  I can't seen to find my manual.

The parameter in the config is: /M:xx (from 2 to 30, each buffer uses
about 2 KB of memory)

Device=\[path]\sbcd\mscdex.exe /D:device name /L:drive-letter [/E]
        [/M:xx] [/V] [/S]

        /E        Uses expanded memory if available
        /V        Display a summary of RAM allocation and expanded
                  memory usage at booting.
        /S        Allows sharing of CD-ROM drive on MS-NET-based file
                  servers

If you need more information or the parameters for the autoexec contact
me here or email me on the internet at [e-mail]. But i
see anything about the buffer in the autoexec.

Bye!

BZ>I recently bought about a dozen CDs to help populate an 18-disk changer
BZ>I just got for my BBS.

Good for you.  Most sysops don't have the luxury of so many CDs.  In fact,
it'll probably shock and surprise you to know there are a LOT of sysops that
don't have *any* CDs on line YET!  For those who do have a CD, that is the sum
total of a great many: a CD.  One!  Crow and boast all you care to about such a
fine system, but you don't represent the folks with only one, or none.  They
still have their rights, too.

BZ>  I was very pleased with most of the non-adult CDs, but this wasn't
BZ>the case with the non-adult ones,

Take a deep breath; hold it; let it out slowly.  Feel better now? Re-read what
you typed, and you'll hopefully understand better what *I* just typed.

BZ>These opinions are in no way meant to take away from Dave Clark's
BZ>reviews (I number him among my friends).  The opinions
BZ>expressed here are my own.

BZ>Title:      Busty Babes 2

This disc has been reviewed, blued and tattoo'd, right into the ground, ever
since it was produced, a long time ago, relatively speaking.  It was released
last October, nearly ten months ago.

MANY other discs have been released since then by other producers, and a 1,000
image collection called Women On Wheels from this producer; she recently posted
that she has the slides ready for the next few, and is waiting for outside
suppliers to do their parts.  She also promises that there will never be
another BB2, because of criticism like yours. You're giving us old news that
has been around for a long time, and has since been overtaken by other events.

BZ>1.  The first thing I did with this disk was a DIR /S.  Reported some
BZ>417 meg in about 3000 files.  Not good from a format that is
BZ>capable of 680 meg and often has at least 650 meg.  Figure he
BZ>owes me about 240 meg right off the bat.

There has never been a requirement of ANY software provider to "fill" every
little cluster on the media.  I've got thousands of floppies and nearly a
hundred CDs here, none of them filled up except those I've made myself.  The
BB2 disc was marketed as a collection of 1,000 images.  If they could have put
all of that into 1 cluster, you'd have been even more upset, I guess.  You got
the 1,000 images, irregardless of the real estate it occupies.

BZ>2.  Next, I loaded Xtree Gold to have a good look.  What I found next
BZ>made me madder than just about anything I've ever seen on CDs:

You wouldn't be that upset if you had a one-drive system, and wanted to provide
a mix of adult and non-adult files.  Be charitable, and try to understand, as
painful as that may be.

BZ>Of the paltry 417 meg of files on this *adult* disk, only 208
BZ>meg are actually adult!!!  Of that 208, 16 meg are thumbnails
BZ>of the other adult images, leaving only 192 meg of normal adult
BZ>images and text files.  I haven't checked yet, but I'd bet money
BZ>that at least 90% of the non-adult files on this disk are duped
BZ>somewhere among the other 23 CDs I have on-line.

Hardly true, at that time.  So now you're up to 23 on line?  I cannot imagine
anybody running such a huge system that doesn't read the printing on the
products s/he buys.  Right on the back of the package, and not in small print,
it says there is an: Added Bonus 200MB Shareware. The licensed collection of
1,000 images left a LOT of open real estate. That made it possible to help out
the little systems with a lot of recent (at that time) shareware, some of it
not available anywhere else.  There was also room for the thumbnails and a few
utilities that are hard to find.

BZ>What I liked:
BZ>1.  All of the images I viewed are at least 800x600x256.  Many are
1024x756x256.

And all are licensed, legal, and can be used on your system if the local laws
aren't too Draconian.  No additional fee is required.  It is NOT marketed as a
porno collection, even tho there is some X on it.  It is a "glamour"
collection.  It is certainly "adults only!"  Sysops with only one drive can
prevent youngsters from accessing that part of it, and download from the
non-adult half.

BZ>2.  Each directory has a FILES.BBS, so adding the disk to my RA
BZ>database was a snap.  PCBoard format would be nice, with the
BZ>longer descriptions...

Look around.  In this echo and also in the CD_SALE echo, most sysops make a big
hullaballoo over discs that are not provided with FILES.BBS. I imagine it is
difficult enough to provide accurate, and acceptable, descriptions of 1,000
different images which are even one line long. Doing the same task for each of
the several popular BBS types out there would drive up the cost of the disc in
a hurry.

BZ>Summary:

BZ>When I shell out my hard-earned for an adult disk for my BBS, I expect
BZ>at least 600 meg of adult files.  For that matter, when I buy
BZ>ANY CD, I expect at least 600 meg of files!

"Expect" in one hand, "expectorate" in the other.  Which got wet? There are
some discs that are full or nearly so.  But they are not licensed collections
of such high quality, nor are they suitable for all locations, generally.  If
they are, they cost a LOT more, and you'd hardly have looked at them, no doubt.

BZ>  To present a disk
BZ>as adult, then have it only contain about 200 meg of adult
BZ>files smacks of trying to rip off the buying public.

After you get through with your outburst, have a real adult read the back of
the package to you.

BZ>If you're a SysOp, don't even think of using this disk.

A number of single-CD sysops have already voiced their approval. You're behind
the curve in more ways than one.

FWIW, I have no connection with any producers or sellers of any product
whatsoever.  I'm not a sysop of any system, anywhere.  What I am is a retired
businessman, a careful observer of the scene, and will try to help folks who
are confused get to the truths of various matters. Most of the time I merely
skip past outbursts like yours.  But yours just reached out and begged for
rebuttal.  Take it in the helpful way in which it is offered.

I really want to get this CD. I bought Day of the Tentacle (Talkie
version) and it's great. I bought Outpost a few days ago (the real
release, no OEM's, bought it from Electronic's Boutique). I don't really
care for the game because it's too complex for my taste. It has
fantastic 3D rendered animation, and the graphics are fabulous. Lemme
know if you wanna trade.

Errr ... does it duplicate any of the files on CoC 1, 2, or 3?
Or, is it "the next in the series, done better than the previous ones"?

Is CoC 2 still available from you?
What about CoC 1?

Sorry to be so full of questions ... I'm just puzzled.

Win32 is a 'bridge' to run 32-bits applications (instead of the
usual 16-bits stuff). Those Win32S programs can run under WinNT
with higher speed as their 16-bits versions could.

Martin.

 Hi David!

 I tried  the  same cheat too but it did not work.

 About the end of the game: I solved all the puzzles except

 the flipping pictures of the house and the microscope puzzle

 (i think)  but the last puzzle (Stauffs face) is still not

 accessible , meaning the door in the kitchen is still closed.

 So i did not get to the end.

 How did you get to the end without solving those two puzzles?

 ttyl.

I need some help determining which Cd Rom and Sound Card to buy.
All I need it for is games and multimedia apps.  Nothing fancy. No
Heavy music needs.  I can get a PAS 16 for 99.00 Sound Blaster 16 for
107.00 and Logitech Sound man 16 for 99.00 are there any differences.
If so which is better.  Will one hook up to a CD Rom better than
another?  Which is the best CD Rom? I am sure a 2x will serve my
purposes. I can get one for 147.00. How much of an improvement

Hi, Chris. Due to new rules, it is quite difficult for dealers to send
messages in the echo. Actually, it is virtually impossible from a practical
standpoint. Because of this, you would be ahead to leave your netmail address
and perhaps an address and phone number. BTW, I have purchased several times
from Boris and have been very satisfied in dealing with him. Also, try the
800 number again.

Hey I have some idea of what your going through. I had a similar problem with
my sony cd rom. It's a 2X but was still playing cd .avi videos at a slow and
choppy rate. When I got a hold of a highres, large view avi file (made
specificly for 2X players) and tried to play it I got the exact same problem
your having. My solution was this. My Soundblaster Multi CD would not allow my
drive to go to it's full 300kb a second transfer rate, also the soundcard has
no dma (dma allows the cd rom and adaptor card to access memmory without the
help of the CPU) which would allow my computer to run faster. Are you running
your cd rom through your sound card? I didn't mess with the card, I installed
the controller card which came with the drive and it's working fine and MUCH
faster.

Not neccesarily. In order for your pc to take ....say a 16 bit .wav file and
play it back at full speed it has to use the cards' d/a converter, your
proccesors memmory, and your HD (as well as the compression routine) all at the
same time, and it will clip out if you sample too high a rate. This USUALLY is
no fault of the Hardrive but of the speed it takes to do all of this. If your
cd is compatable with music cd's then it reads the PCM signal of the music and
with a considerably shortened path as well as it's own proccesor, streamlined
routines, and it's own d/a converters it is considerably better at it than your
computer. You can play cd's in a 1X cdrom with only a 150k per second transfer,
if your compressed drive is slower than that it's time to get a new drive. When
you listen to a music cd through your sound card your listening to the audio
output of your cd player, your soundcard is simply acting as a sort of pre
amplifier/mixer.

I have a question. I have sped my sx25 all the way to 40mhz with occasional
errors, and am now using it at 33mhz. All possible through my wonderfull
motherboard which lets me tell it the speed. Heres my question. If I got a dx
or sx 66mhz proccesor My motherboard would tell me to set it to half it's clock
rate, and the proccesor would double it automaticly. So If I took a 33 mhz
proccesor that was a dx/2 and told my motherboard it was a 40mhz, would the
proccesors speed doubling technology make my pc 80mhz? Or would it be a 40 mhz?
Or would it stay at 66mhz? I'm very curious. The thought of getting near dx4
speed is interesting.

Sure it will. I've got a similar setup on my system. There are two ways of
going about it. You can take the audio out of your cd player and directly
connect it to your soundcard's cd in. Or you can use the cd out (1/8 ")
connector on the back of the controller card you bought and get a patch cable
to connect it to the line in on your soundcards back. If your already using a
line in a y adaptor should work. I had to solder the wire leads from my sony
drive to my soundblaster card because the connector wouldn't fit my cd input.

I have an answer!

The problem is that the polarity of the output jacks on all Mitsumi
CD-ROM units are >inverted< with respect to the inputs on Sound Blaster
cards.  Since both the Sound Blaster and the Mitsumi use common audio
grounds, this causes the analog audio lines to short when the Mitsumi
analog audio cable is plugged into the Sound Blaster card.  This will
kill all analog audio, even from the headphone jack.  (It does no permanent
damage to any circuit, however.)

HERE'S THE FIX:

Unplug the analog audio cable from the Sound Blaster card (the tiny 4
conductor cable running from the CD_ROM drive from the Sound Blaster).
Using a jeweler's screwdriver (high tech method) or an unbent paper clip
(low tech method ;-) ), release each metal pin from the plastic shell of the
connector by pressing in on the pin's release tab.  Then, reinstall the pins
in REVERSE ORDER on the connector.  (I. E. make the pins that had been
connected to the connector in the order 1-2-3-4, connect in the order
4-3-2-1).  This will invert the channels LEFT and RIGHT also, which is
desired as it is also inverted by the Mitsumi with respect to the Sound
Blaster.  (BTW, I got this info from Sound Blaster tech support last
Feb. when I had the same problem, Mitsumi tech support at that time was
clueless.)

You two need to learn tolerance.  Just because it is not to your taste
does not give you carte blanche to call every one who does like it a
"pervert" with no life.  Personally, I would find it hard to believe,
almost to the point of impossibility, that you have gone through life
and have NEVER looked at a picture of a nude female and been impressed.
In my book that would make you a hypocrite.  Does the shoe fit???

Welcome to OEM.  Which means "Original Equipment Manufacturer".  When
you bought the OEM version of your game all you were buying was the cd
and that "little" booklet you got.   A lot of the OEM deals are software
products that are packaged as bundle deals with hardware.  You know, buy
this XYZ double speed drive and get A, B, and C software products free.
Some dealers buy such bundles, strip the software out and sell all the
pieces separately, thereby making more money.  Is it legal?  Technically
no,  but a lot do it and no one seems to care....

A friend of mine bought the internal one at Egghead for $499. The external
isn't out yet. He and others that have bought it seem to be very pleased
with it. It doesn't come with any cables tho, and while you can find a SCSI
cable, the audio cable has to be ordered from another place. My friend
connected it to a SoundBlaster SCSI-2 soundcard. The audio cable was $15.

It's a quad speed; with a 1meg memory buffer; Caddy-type CD. I can't
remember other specs about it.

I already found a better solution, someone gave me a little .com file that
lets me load a driver in the autoexec.bat file, so now I can load the ram
driver AFTER the CD has been installed as drive D:

Hey! your Spanish is very good indeed! :-)

I don't know hat I can answer your question, but just to warn you, I ordered
the Interactive '94 from someone named JD Brown.  He sent me something that was
copyrighted in 1991 and claimed that the 1994 edition was copyrighted in 1991.
I ended up poving him wrong an gettin my money back, but DO NOT order from him.
 I can tell you that the Interactive Encyclopedia comes with some Multimedia
Computers.  I think I remember readig somewhere that the Interactive is for
Windows and New Century is for DOS, I could be wrong, but I think that is the
difference.

Well, I have a little info gleaned from some magazines. The Plextor 4X uses a
SCSI interface and has a flat 600k/s transfer rate with a 220ms access time.
Whats interesting is that it has a 1MB (thats no typo- 1MB) cache built into
the drive. The August issue of PC Magazine states that Plextor officials said
that they decided to use a 1mb cache in order to improve the quality of video
playback. The article stated that in subjective testing that the video playback
as better relative to other quads. The best price I have seen for the drive so
far is $469 with $475 being a common mail order price. The TEAAC Quad speed
drive may also be of interest to you. It too is new. It uses a relatively
paltry 64K cache and also has a flat 600k/s transfer rate. However, it differs
for other quads in that it uses a Panasonic interface (the ones used on the SB)
The best price I have seen of this one is $389. With starting prices like $469
and $389, it looks like all of us with double speeds are going to be doomed to
quick obsolence :( In the "Astounding Rumor" department, one of this months
magazines quoted a market analyst as saying that 18 months from now, Read/Write
CD-drives will be in the $400-500 range. I bet the tape drive backup companies
will be happy to hear that!

No body's perfect. That is what the manual said. Then again the 6.22 upgrade
will upgrade from the 6.0 as well as the 6.2 so it's conceivable that they
listed 6.2 's features as well as 6.22 's

I'm wondering:

Is it legal to sell an OEM CD were it's written "Not for resale, must be
bundled" without a CD?  I'm a reseller in Canada and I heard it's legal in the
USA?  Is that true?  What about Canada?

Also, can you rent a software (on CD or on disk).  I heard it's illegal to rent
any kind of softwares, so how can some shops rent them?

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. As far as I know, for
CD-ROMs it usually means that you get the CD-ROM and the booklet that
contains the manual. No box and other fancy stuff. I have the 7th Guest
OEM and it is just the CD-box. But that is all you need...

Actually Ben, You are also wrong.  The US Postal Service delievers FPO mail to
San Fran Ca, Where it is accepted into the MAIN FPO Post Office all Staffed
with Civilians, the Mail is sorted and sent on Commerical Aircraft just like US
Postal Mail.  Once it reaches NARITA International Air Port, The US Military
has vehicles there daily to pick it up.

I can not speak for APO but FPO San Fran  WILL NOT under any circunstances
accept FedExp or UPS mail.. Just like you cannot take FedExp or UPS Packages to
your Local post office for processing.

So there are NO abnormal delays when companies ship via Fed Ex or UPS to FPO
addresses, there just isnt any Packages sent at all.

You can Fed Exp and UPS to FPO here in Japan but it will NOT go into the US
Postal System, It is flown on Fed Exp Aircraft or UPS aircraft to Tokyo where a
FedExp or UPS truck will deliever it after you have compoleted all the Customs
paperwork.  Lots of Delays.

The Best way to ship to an FPO/APO is to ship via US Air Mail.  If the package
is under 30 lbs then you can pay an additional $1.30 and have it shipped via
PAL (Parcal Air Lift)  Usually recd in 7 days or less, or you can ship via SAM
(Space Avail Mail) usually takes 14 days or longer.  We get US Air Mail here in
Japan in 4-7 days.

The Case with Brice is that you MUST actually ship the product which he DID not
do.  He did finally refund my $136.00 after almost 100 days of setting on it.

Thanks for your help.  The drive is SCSI compatable, but I do not have a SCSI
controller card.  I will probobly just sell it and get a 2X CD-Rom that is
supported by OS/2.  Again, tks for the reply.  L8tr.

Hi y'all...

I have recently acquired the CD-ROM version of King's Quest 6,
(yes... I'm a little behind the times...  :)

There used to be some messages in here about King's Quest but I
haven't seen any lately.  Those messages contained some pretty
good hints that helped me along the way.  But now, I'm really
stuck and I'd sure appreciate a couple of little hints to get me
going again.

I'm not sure I should go into a long diatribe about what I've
done so far, but I think if I give you a list of my inventory,
you can pretty well figure out where I've been and what I've
done.

        Magic map               Free book from book shop
        Paint brush             Old coins from catacombs
        Rotten egg              Dagger from Lady Celeste
        Skull from catacombs    Black feather
        Stinky flower           Battered hunter's lamp
        Glass bottle of milk    Pearl from oyster
        Peppermint leaves       Bottle of potion that says "DRINK ME"
        Rabbit's foot           Vial of sacred water from Oracle
        Scythe                  Shield with silver cross
        Rotten tomato           Ye Olde Spell Book

I've been to visit the beast and he gave his ring and his
ultimatum.  I kinda figured that the slave girl in front of the
mansion - the one who keeps working on the roses - is meant for
the beast, but I don't know what to give her to get her to agree
to come with me.  Besides, I don't have much time before *I* turn
into a beast myself.  Also, it looks like I have to mix up a
batch of paint but how to get to the "ingredients"?  What about
that "stick" out in the swamp?  It's just begging to be picked
up, but..... I can't get to it....

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks!

       Catch you on a sunbeam...  - Dot from San Antonio, TX

The solution for your problem is to NOT use DMA transfer but with the DMA
transfer driver!

Understand?

Do like this:

(This is my line in config.sys)

C:\DEV\MTMCDAE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:64 /T:0 /I:10 /X
                                                ^^^^


This is the command for DMA channel (Usually set to 7) Change it to zero (0)
and the driver will tell you at startup that DMA transfer not in use.

Perhaps your DMA channel interfear with some other hardware devices, I don't
know!

This is my solution ... warning, it may work!

Yeah, the SGI Indy is priced at about 1.300.000 SEK here in Sweden which is
about $140.000 ..:)
But then you'll get processor power as strong as over 1400 parallell working
486DX2-66 ..:)

I see many people are asking about the Plextor 4x. I just bought one for $750
CN. incl. all taxes and shipping. It has got to be the best drive I've ever
seen. It has a 220ms with a 1mb cache and almost 600k transfer. It is a genuine
Two 4x not anything like the Nec 3x or 4x. The warranty service is great and
they offer a 2nd day service plan at no cost.

Wow wish *I*  had that kind of hardware....anyway I found out what file
you need, it's called: MITSF115.ZIP it contains the two device drivers:
MTMCDAE.SYS & MTMCDAS.SYS one of which you need instead of the above
ones. BTW I can mail it to you for a P-5/90...just kidding. If you have
access to Netmail you can contact me via the route or below is my e-mail
address and we can arrange mailing if you can't find the file.

Hope that helps,

Hi Jeff. I don't know if you have tried this yet, but it might help.  I
had a similar problem and my friend suggested changing my windows cache
size.  You go into control panel, click 386 enhanced, then click on
virtual memory, click change.  If you look in the bottom right corner it
shows your cache size.  I would recommend doubling it to start.  Hope this
helps.

No, I haven't received it yet. I will write to you when I do. Try to hang
on it's a coming. Registered mail is sure but a bit slower. Just post again
when you do get it.

I am drawing up a "handshake" contract for any future purchases made on the
echo. Have a look at the points and tell me if these sound fair. If you
think they are reasonable, we can adopt them between ourselves. Please give
me your comments and suggestions. What type of contract do you make in your
mind when selling your CDs? Are any of these points ones that you
personally use?

===========================================================================


Terms of Agreement
==================

I, Michael John Nisbett, do contract with you to buy one CD-ROM under the
following conditions:

1. We will agree on a price which will be an estimate of the shipping for
the software. This price may be modified +/- a few (three) dollars at the
time of shipping in order to eliminate personal loss from a lower or higher
than actual estimate.

2. I will purchase a bank draft for the original amount agreed upon above.
I will post a message providing you with the number of the cheque and the
US bank that it was negotiated through. If you wish, I will photocopy the
draft and fax the image to a fax number provided by you.

3. If the adjusted price is higher, I will send the draft and any
additional cash by Registered Mail. If no additional moneys are required,
the cheque will be sent by normal air mail. If the estimate requires a
small refund to me, a credit may be set up if future purchases are
expected. Otherwise, alternative arrangements will be made.

4. We will mail our respective packages simultaneously or as close to each
other as possible. You will ensure that the software package is mailed in a
padded envelope which would reasonably be expected to protect the contents.

5. When we receive our packages, we will examine the contents and post
messages to each other that everything was or was not received in
satisfactory condition.

6. If one of us is unsatisfied, that person will make a specific and
reasonable request which they believe will improve the situation. The other
party will attempt to rectify the problem to the best of their ability.

7. If one of us refuses to act in a reasonable manner, the other may post
three public messages in each of the appropriate echoes warning others of
unfair dealing. These messages will not contain "flames" and will adhere to
the rules of those echoes. That person will be warned of these public
messages no less than four days prior to their initial posting. This will
give that other person a reasonable second chance to respond as requested.

8. If we are both happy with each other's actions, we will agree to act as
references for each other, if necessary.

9. This "handshake" contract has been created in fairness to both of us. It
means nothing without mutual respect for each other. If you can honestly
agree with these terms, please post a message to me denoting the same. If
you have any difficulty with any of these points, please inform me and an
alternative can be negotiated.

Thanks for your time, Jim!

What other CD-ROMs do you have to sell. I will want to buy more from you
when I receive the Zork CD. You seem to be very fair in your dealings.

Also, what about that store that we talked about on the phone? Do they have
anything interesting? Do they ship to Bermuda? Next time you go by there,
just find out for me please. If they do, just give them my address and ask
them to send me info, a catalog, price list with shipping etc.

 My son says, look for the bootom red triangle on the right hand
 side. Inside the cave look for a door with a small opening at the
 bottom of it. Click on the opening, and you will find yourself on a cat
 walk. Walk straight to the end and you will find yourself standing
 by a circle in a glass dome chamber.

 Click on 126 degrees or the bottom red triangle and that's it! Leave
 the chamber and go down to the bottom to the door. OPen up that
 door and turn to the left and there should be a chest. Open up

 the chest or look on the bed for a red or blue page. Then go back to
 the MYST library. The MYST book is on the table in the bottom part of the
 Stone ship.

 That should be enough for now. Jeff has completed the whole game in
 very short order of time (very smart, needles to say!).

  Michael,

     Are you using the SLCD.SYS driver for your Sony CD-ROM? If so, you
  can specify a switch of /1 (single speed) or /2 (double speed) in your
  DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\SLCD.SYS line in your config.sys file, but it should
  already default to double speed.

  Ex. DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\SLCD.SYS /B:230 /D:MSCD001 /V /K /M:P /2

 Even easier is what a lot of people end up doing. Go to the local store
 and get ANY sound cable, use a hatpin or a small screwdriver or
 whatever is handy to disect the wrongly wired plugs and put em back
 together properly. "Consult manual for proper pinouts"

My two cents worth is first make sure the CD_ROM is actually
putting out audio.  Connect a stereo head-set to the front panel
and play a CD.  I mention this as I too went nuts with sound, until
I found out the CD-ROM itself was defective.


 PG> Mitsumi's tech support # is 408-970-9699.
 PG> PLEASE let me know how you come out on the driver.

Thank you very much for the phone number.  It really got the ball
rolling.  I found out that I had to change the address from the
default of 300h to 360h as the SCSI controller in my system was
creating a conflict.

I also found out that Mitsumi has a tech support BBS (408)-970-
0761.  They have the latest Device drivers for their CD available
for DL.  The present file is FX116.EXE.  I have to call their BBS
back and see if the have the OS/2 drivers.

One again, thank you.  Its good to see my CD_ROM working again.

What is your "reasonable price" for it since it is new? I am open to trading
if that is better. I'm open to a trade of shareware BBS ready CD's. Or gaming

         Can't help overhearing your conversation as I'm trying to setup my
2 - 562Bs via the same controller card. I got most of it working except that
it won't look into the drive id1, instead it present the contents for drive id0
and I'm using the normal ide cable that came with one of the 562's. I have
heard that getting one "ide cable" that is twisted on one end will "fix" this
problem, is your ide cable for the cdroms twisted on one end?

Hi, I bought A CD-Upgrade kit for my 386DX from media-vision that
included a PAS 16 card, and it works great.  I'm not sure what the
CD-ROM brand is called, something like Transtor.  I think Media-Vision
sells it without a Sound Card but I'm not sure.
Hope that helped!
