I sometimes have a feeling that I am in the minority when it comes to keeping games. I did, at first, because I couldn't stand parting with a game (even before I had a CD-ROM drive) and now that so much is on CD, I just can't. So what is your take on the situation? I have 12 CD games right now, and I wouldn't dream of selling them. I sometimes like to replay a game, especially if I haven't played it in 6 months to a year (I might have forgotten how to solve a puzzle or two). I am just a pack rat? What are the main reasons people sell games after finishing them? Is it money? Is it boredom? --- ■ WinQwk 2.0 a#0 ■ Unregistered Evaluation Copy --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Total Access News & Info Sys, Tacoma, WA 206-472-9884 (1:138/103) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DEREK HOFFMAN Number: 4157 To: MICHAEL DAUM Date: 08/28/94 5:31p Subj: MAKING CD ROM Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No All Michael Daum MD>I'm looking to get information on making CD ROMs. MD> MD>I publish small "how-to" books and am thinking about putting them MD>onto MD>CD-ROMS.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (LucasArts) Full speech, Sound Blaster, MT-32 support (or both simultaneously), and three game paths for replayability. It only takes up less than 1k for the configuration file, and 40k for each savegame. It is a great graphic adventure game. Maniac Mansion: Day of the Tentacle (LucasArts) Full speech, Sound Blaster, MT-32, and General MIDI support (or SB plus MT-32 or GM simultaneously). It is quite long, and it is impossible for you to "die" or lose the game. It is not easy though. It only takes up less than 1k for the configuration file, and 40k for each savegame. It is a great, and very humorous, graphic adventure game. --- ■ WinQwk 2.0 a#0 ■ Unregistered Evaluation Copy --- FLAME v1.1 * Origin: Total Access News & Info Sys, Tacoma, WA 206-472-9884 (1:138/103) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: HOWARD WILLIAMSON Number: 4159 To: JOE FINIS Date: 08/27/94 11:20p Subj: CD ACCESS Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No JF> JN> I have a friend who bought a new computer with a CR-ROM drive.

Just a suggestion to avoid always having new programs modify your AUTOEXEC.BAT. In your root directory, put a simple AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a simple call to the real one as follows: REM This file serves only to transfer to the real AUTOEXEC.BAT to REM protect it from changes by other software. C:\BAT\AUTOEXEC.BAT Then in your C:\BAT subdirectory, put the real AUTOEXEC.BAT. (you could use a different name if you wanted - if you get confused yourself) but it really isn't a problem keeping them straight. I also keep a .ZIP of my current CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT just so I can easily restore them if I somehow screw them up. * SLMR 2.0 * --T-A+G-L-I+N-E--+M-E-A+S-U-R+I-N-G+--G-A+U-G-E-- --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.00* * Origin: After 10:00 Seattle,Wa 165 Games On Line(206)878-8633!

That shouldn't be happening. he should drop the container, bow, arrows, etc. your map and other possesions should not appear in there. are you using the CD or disk? Either way, copy out your saved game files, then re-install RTZ.

I bought a Trantor SCSI card for a Pioneer 6 disk changer I had bought. The Trantor for microchannelling worked just great. I bought the Trantor card used from someone on Compuserve since I had the same problem as you with the MCA. All I ran from the Trantor SCSI card was the Pioneer External 6 disk changer. I just sold my model 70 and bought a regular 66mhz machine. I kept the Trantor card though. If your interested in buying one, get a hold of Trantor. I think they have a bbs number, not sure though. If you can't get one at a good price, I'll sell you mine for $100.00. I won't come down in price though. There are no jumpers to set either on the Trantor.

Again: the CD came with numerous scratches, one very major! I'll accept an UNDAMAGED version 5 or my money back. Our agreement over the phone was: if the cd does not have the newer Europe configeration on it, thus, I would not be satified with its contents, you would issue a store credit upon return of the cd. I did NOT agree to a store credit for a DAMAGED cd! What we are talking about at this point is the scratches it came with! For the price (not including the outrageous $4.95 for a $.75 stamped package) the disc will surpass even tho my sound card will not accept the SB driver. BUT not a DAMAGED disc!!! Now then: a reputable company will replace a damaged item or (if customer wishes) give a FULL refund or, again (if customer wishes) a store credit. I, the customer, wishes either an undamaged replacement or a full refund...(including the shipping charges...

I recently purchased a Phillips CM 205MS CD-Rom Drive and in the technical data area (section 9.2 Performance Characteristics) of the user manual it says the storage capacity of the drive is 553 MBytes (Mode 1) and 635 MBytes (Mode 2). What I need to know is how to make the drive operate in Mode 2, or does it automatically select this mode somehow? The reason I ask is that I bought a shareware CD Rom with over 600 MB of data and there are some files that cannot be found but they are in the listings on the files.bbs files. I assumed that since my drive could not find the files it was operating in 553 MByte mode and could read the remaining 80 or so MBytes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

IE: The Sound Blaster MCD, The Reveal F/X 16, The AD Lib card, and any of quite a few that have a Sony interface on them. The sound cards that support the Sony and others say on the box what they support and the documentation inside will show how to set up the config.sys and Autoexec.bat. As far as the Microsoft drivers, you use the MSCDEX.EXE that comes with dos I think since dos 5. Any version will work although I beleive the latest is V 2.23. If you look I'm sure you will find this in your \DOS subdirectory. It's part of dos. The docs in the soundcard will show you how to use it.

Sony does offer Tech support, and you can find that number in Computer shopper as well, I beleive (I don't have it handy anymore). Call them first, and see which controller you need for your particular configuration. (I have a dual external unit, and needed a controller that had an external connecter and cable.) If you have an internal unit, you probably won't need all the proprietary cables and such I needed. Just a 40 pin IDE style cable, and there controller.

Mike did the same for me, gave me my reg. key online when I paid with C.C.. He also has the files.bbs files for quite a few of the most popular disks online for download. I also registered his MultiMenu program which allows you to run up to 255 different doors from 1 menu option, and it works just a well as SFROM. PS with reg. ver. of EZROM you get EZREQ which is great if you have offline disks and have to fill req. all you have to do is put in the disk it asks for and the job is done, it notifies the caller the next time he calls that his files are ready for dl, and after dl it erases the files from your HD.

To do this I had to order one especially made from my measurements to a company, it's best if you draw a diagram and fax it to them. The first one they sent me had the plugs on the wrong side. Since I didn't have a fax machine, I did it on the phone. The company is CABLES TO GO in Dayton, Ohio at 1-800-826-7904 You can mention my name, they will know about the cable they made for me, of course your measurements will be different than mine. You can reference my account there PAULCA006 That might help some, in what your wanting made up. Cost was $ 19.89 for the cable, plus shipping cost of $9.85 Also make sure you have the Jumpers as follows : Drive 1 # : : : Drive 2 : # : : Drive 3 : : # : Drive 4 : : : # Looking at the back of each unit; Make sure the 40 pin cable has the color red or blue stripe on the right side of the plug when plugged into the unit.

They don't produce as good sound, where 16-bit cards can do CD quality. And, these days you can get a Soundblaster 16 basic for under $100. Af for a CD, transfer rates make no difference if they are like "300, 335, 336" you will see no difference. the REAL differences are 150k, 300, 450, and 600k. they are designated single speed drives, double speed drives, triple speed drives, and quad drives. Right now, 2x drives are the standard. you can pickup a bundle with a Soundblater 16 MCD and a sony 2x drive with a 320ms access for like $280. You won't see a big difference with access time unless you do a lot of things like randomly access a database. --- TBBS v2.1/NM * Origin: Direct Connect BBS - Phila, PA 5 Gigs 215-535-6579 (1:273/919) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: WILLIAM COOKE Number: 4394 To: KANAYO AGBODIKE Date: 09/01/94 2:41p Subj: Re: NEC 3XI Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No > Can anybody here tell me the difference between the NEC cdr 510 and > the cdr 535?

I have an ASI-9000 with a 2X Sony Drive, which of course should transfer at 300kb/s (though it advertised 350kb/s). I have a program which came with Corel Draw 3.0 called ScanCD which finds the transfer rate of the drive. However, it diagnoses the drive at only 150kb/s. I explained all of this to the guys I bought the computer from, and after trying to figure it out themselves for two weeks, they explained the problem to ASI. ASI responded saying that Corel's ScanCD just wasn't accurate with the Sony drive on an ASI, and that even though Corel found the transfer rate was 150kb/s the actual rate was 300kb/s. It sounds pretty weak to me. So anyways, if anyone could suggest a good program which will accurately determine my transfer rate, or better yet, an FTP site where I could find this program, I'd appreciate it.

But once you figure out how they are in there they come out real easy. You might take a look at it and see if maybe you might want to go that way.

Excuse me for buttin' in, but I recently purchased a Sony 2x (CDU-33A) and I found that on my sound card, the pins for cd-audio were: LSPKR L- R- RSPKR and the CD-ROM drive was LSPKR L- RSPKR R- All I did to fix the problem was to take a small pin and stick it into the catch holes on the sound cable, remove the pins and reinsert them in the proper place. Took a while to figure out what was wrong with my cd audio, but this worked fine. ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Xpress User │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ...

Each disk should have it's own installation program which will normally place a little, and sometimes a LOT, of the data on the cd to your hard drive. Usually it just copies in files that it's needs to access quickly, files that change, and configuration information. Though CD-ROMs have been around for a while, "multimedia" has just exploded over the last year (with the advent of faster hardware and lower prices and bigger apps). So while most of the cds will run on most systems, some are are very particular and will require you change system settings or aquire new cd-rom, sound, or video drivers in order to run properly. Hopefully it'll get better when Plug and Play becomes a reality (which won't be any time soon and will probably require you to buy all new equipment 8| ).

When I spoke with Jason today, he told me that he was indeed pleased with the printer he bought from Harold. The message was posted after Harold asked him to put in a good word for BLT in one of the echoes. It's gets interesting later on. You see, Jason wanted a hard drive for his PC. His parents were going to give him an IDE drive for Christmas of 1993. Mr & Mrs Chancey shelled out $200 hard earned cash that they gave to Harold to purchase a HD for their son. Subsequently, Harold took Jason's PC to his house for 2 1/2 weeks. When it was returned there was no IDE drive in the machine. Harold told them he had "fixed" the one that was already in the machine (an old MFM drive). I wonder if this "fixed" one was an old one he "borrowed" from Tom Seder at DataPro, Inc., Loxahatchee, FL. Now, Harold did give Jason a real bargain. He put 4 megs of 70 nanosecond memory in the machine. Just what Jason wanted for Christmas, right? NOT! Harold gave Jason all kind of bullshit answers about the board needed some chips, etc. etc, etc, ad naseum, and that he would be getting those to make it work right. Just what Jason wanted for Christmas, right? NOT! Want to know what the Bottom Line is? Jason's parents got the screws put to them by an un-screw-pulous computer "dealer" whose current rating with the Better Business Bureau in West Palm Beach, FL is UNSATISFACTORY! This information is current as of Friday, September 2, 1994. I invite anyone to call the BBB at (407) 686-2200 and find out for themselves. Just another Bottom Line Testimonial for Florida's Bottom Line Telecommunications. I have 16 more of them and signed affadavits from 90% of them.

The specs and price were impressive enough for me to negotiate with my financial advisor (wife) for a purchase. One problem, the reader didn't come with any software driver. The reader is a SCSI device and is well suited with my BusLogic BT-445S controller. I load the ASPI driver BTDOSM.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS as such: DEVICE=C:\BTDOSM.SYS /P334 /D The /P334 indicates the port and the /D displays the target device's configuration information. All is well as I boot. The problem is loading MSCDEX. It requires a /D:driver1 parameter. DOS help says for this parameter: "Specifies the driver signature of the first CD-ROM device driver. The driver1 parameter must match the parameter specified by the /D switch on the CONFIG.SYS command that starts the corresponding CD-ROM device driver. The MSCDEX command must include at least one /D switch." I rang the place of purchase before I installed the CD-ROM and the guy assured me that the BTDOSM.SYS is okay as the CD-ROM driver. I tried a number of /D: statements and the one I thought that would work - /D:BTDOSM.SYS doesn't. Can anyone help me. What's the correct parameter? Do I need another software driver? Thanks. It's driven me crazy and this is a desperate plea for help before I turn in for the night.

I think that IRQ6 is used by the floppy drive controller. Hopefully this weekend I'll have some time to dig into things some more a and track the problem down. For the money it's a very nice drive. On another installation issue, I tried installing a Sony double speed and it hasn't gone as smoothe. The setup program puts everything in the wrong place in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file and the CONFIG.SYS file. It kept repeating certain items which I thought was really weird!

I have an ASI-9000 with a 2X Sony Drive, which of course should transfer at 300kb/s (though it advertised 350kb/s). I have a program which came with Corel Draw 3.0 called ScanCD which finds the transfer rate of the drive. However, it diagnoses the drive at only 150kb/s. I explained all of this to the guys I bought the computer from, and after trying to figure it out themselves for two weeks, they explained the problem to ASI. ASI responded saying that Corel's ScanCD just wasn't accurate with the Sony drive on an ASI, and that even though Corel found the transfer rate was 150kb/s the actual rate was 300kb/s. It sounds pretty weak to me. So anyways, if anyone could suggest a good program which will accurately determine my transfer rate, or better yet, an FTP site where I could find this program, I'd appreciate it.

Yes, it is true there are CD-Recorders out there, but there is a lot more to writing to a CD-R than meets the eye. Premastering software and knowledge of CD-ROM technical stuff is needed in order to record a CD-ROM that will run and operate like a game for instance.

Yes your are correct, this is what a european wholesaler says : Keep your fingers of this SHITTY 10 pack it's not worth the money.

It has some 4 to 6 second samples that you can mix to background groove or rap. If you want stuff like space quest go out and buy the OEM version. Then the packaing itself is so useless.

I'm not only tone deaf, but have a severe hearing loss in one ear. Someone gave me a tip that really helped. Look at the notes in the book and number the keys from left to right..include the black ones as soon as you come to them. Then look at the ones you have to play and jot down the number of the key and where in the sequence it has to be played. Now when you move the sliders, move them VERY slowly. You will hear a change in tone with each key it moves up on the keyboard (you MAY hear a click...I didn't).

I didn't see anywhere I could make it go at 300. I only saw up to 150. Perhaps I had an older version of the program. Is this the one from Microsoft? That's where I got mine. Have you used the program CDTA ? I downloaded it from some local BBS. It shows throughput for 30 seconds and 1 minute and average access time based on a 450 meg disc and suggests access on a full 650 one. I don't necessarily beleive any of these test programs but if you use the same one all the time you can tell if you are making progress. I'd be interested in the command line you used to get it to go to 300 k if you could put that up here. I found this CDSPEED as a file withing a larger file from Microsoft.

You wouldn't happen to be talking about Sony's Mini-Disc, would you? They are in their 2nd model year and it's just in the audio market. It looks like a standard 3.5 inch disk, but it's 2.5 inches, is extremely close to CD in sound quality, can re-write 1000 times, and doesn't have the skipping tendency that typical CD technology has. They are currently looking into a possible computer use for it. They are saying it'll most likely have about 140 meg storage, and the read/write speed is identical to that of CD. ___ * OFFLINE 1.56 * SpokAne, The Apple Maggot Quarantine Area! --- Maximus/2 2.01wb * Origin: Moonflower (1:346/35) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: DON ANDERSON Number: 4549 To: ALL Date: 09/04/94 3:36p Subj: IRON HELIX CDROM Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No I keep getting the folowing error message while playing Iron Helix APPLICATION ERROR-PACOV caused a GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT IN MODULE PACOPLAY.DLL at 000A:11A7.

Tony, I don't have anything to do with the CD company you seem to be upset with. (which I do not blame you) I just couldn't pass your post by. As I had the same experience. I live in a very small community in the Ky hills. I have to mail order everything. I bought a few Shareware CD disc's. They all had some program on them which would allow me to read the file names, and descriptions. Even some have a system to transfer copies to my hard drive. Zipped and unzipped. Which are great... Now this one set came, which was suppose to be for the elite. No games or foolish files. All serious tech ones. etc.. But it's shell would not work on my CDROM.. I had to fool around with it. Do a dir and go into three sub directories, through dos and find the individual directory names. Go into each of the fifty directories and find the 00_index.txt files, which listed each file in that directory and a short description of each. Look through the list in a small file reader I have (see.exe) find a file I would like to fool with, write it's name down and then make a copy through dos (S:\ copy SSSSS.EEE c:\z ) just to be able to use it. I have to repeat this same procedure for each of the fifty directories in this double set disc set. I have been treated with rudness from too many of these mail places to even begin to fuss with them. I don't know if you are interested in my tale of woe. But I thought I would drop you a line just to let you know you are not alone. If you get in touch with the folks responsable for your problem. Lay an extra lick in there with me in mind. :-) It may not do us both any good, but it will make me feel better for having struck out. Good luck to you.

The Mitsumi plugs into the SB, rather than a separate card. Now here's the question. This drive from time to time will fail to be read. The device drivers will load up and indicate nothing wrong. MSCDEX will load in afterwards and still indicate nothing wrong, but just try and read drive E: (the CD drive) and you will get Abort-Retry-Fail (ARF) messages. Now this happens randomly. Sometimes it doesn't happen for days. But when it does happen, we have to go in and play with the cables a little to get it to work again. Now, does anybody know of any problems with the Mitsumi interface electronics on SB cards? Is Mitsumi's device driver known to be flaky? Is it in any way a software problem? My suspicion is that it's flaky hardware, but I won't rule out software.

The MS diagnostic program will show you the IRQ settings and you should be able to pick out a conflict. My first guess would be an IRQ conflict. After you install the card and run the installation program, try the test program to see if it detects the card. Also be sure that the path to your SB is in the autoexec.bat.

Head down to the basement and turn the spigot on the chest to start a flow of water. Turn off the water and return to the three switchs. Activate the second switch. Return to the lighthouse and use the nearby key to open the floating chest. Take the key found inside and open the trapdoor above the ladder. Climb to the top of the lighthouse and turn on the generato. Any time the light goes out in the lighthouse, return to recharge the batteries. Fint the tunnels and examine the bedrooms. You'll find a blue page, a red page, and a torn note. Keep track of what the note says in your Myst journal and grab oneof the colored pages. Find the landing with the secret panel and open it. You'll need to enter the correct degrees on the compass,and you can do that by heading to the top of the island and looking through the telescope. Note where the lighthouse is (the light must be on) and enter the degrees on the compass. Head back to the three switchs on the island and activate the first switch.

Hello David, I'm a very big Gabriel fan also. I've been at the REALWORLD studio's in Box,England and I was told there, a IBM compatible version of XPLORA would appear last summer, and after I saw a program last week on Dutch TV where they were showing some XPLORA-Apple, I immediatly took my telephone and called them to ask if they knew about the IBM-version. I was told then it would be in the first half of september. So who knows....

Based on the Panasonic 562/563 drives manufactured by Matsushita, the Panarray offers both performance and economy for business, education, and BBS's. Drive Specifications: The CD-ROM drives themselves are a double speed caddyless unit with a motorized tray which is also software ejectable. Data transfer rate is 300kb, and average access time is 300ms. The drives also have a 64k hardware buffer, and comply to MPC II and Kodak photo CD specifications. Drive identification is set via jumpers on the drives which are then chained with a ribbon cable to the inside of the DB-25 port on the case. Enclosure Specifications: The Panarray case is a compact 15.5L X 6.75W X 10.25H, with a 200W power supply and 2 extra cooling fans (for a total of 3) giving the case more than ample cooling. The back of the case has a standard female DB-25 port for data transfer, and uses a standard male-male DB- 25 cable, as well as power switch, and standard RCA audio plugs. The face of the case has a green LED for power on indication. General Info: The Panarray uses a proprietary controller card, which is jumper selectable for IO addresses from 300 to 370. Multiple Panarrays may be used with a controller for each by setting a different IO address on each card and in the software driver. Audio is available also from drive 1, and can either be supplied from the RCA jacks or through a sound card with an audio cable from the controller to the sound card. Simultaneous audio operation of drive 1 and data retrieval from drives 2-4 is possible. The Panarray has been run under DOS, Windows, and OS/2 (separate driver required for OS/2). As well as network environments such as Netware Lite, and Personal Netware. For networks the Panarray would be used on a client machine and the drivers are allowed to select the next available drives on that machine. Then the drives can be re-mapped on the network. Since the Panarray is not a jukebox type of changer, all drives are accessible individually reducing the wait time on jukeboxes for disk changing. The Panarray is now shipping, and offers most of the same functionality of SCSI CD-ROM mini towers at almost half the cost. This gives offices, schools, businesses, and BBS's an economical solution for the online storage of 2.6 gigabytes of data per unit. Contact us for ordering information.

Greetings again Carlos, No I don't believe it is, but your users could no doubt download, and maybe even view many of the files on line. There are many Italian "DL" quicktime type files, but they have to be copied to and run from your hard drive. The gifs, gl & fli files can be viewed right from the disc, so I assume they could also be accessed remotely. BTW, there are a lot of handy viewer type utilities that you can copy to your hard drive. OTOH, most of them probably have been replaced with newer versions by now. :-) CP> I say that my english is poor because I think it's poor, but I can CP> understand the english message well... Be assured amigo, your English is MUCH better than many US educated, high school graduates, born into English speaking families! I don't understand your tag lines though! (VBG) Good luck on your search for the CD. Even though there are many "interactive" types that are much more expensive, IMHO, this one is a classic. Some of the quicktime movies are the ones that were passed around friends, and co-workers, a few years ago. There is such a huge collection that you couldn't possibly have seen all of them.

It seems every time a new game comes out, this echo becomes an unofficial national hint-line. There must have been at least four or five hundred messages here lately regarding solutions for the puzzles in "The Seventh Guest", "Myst", "King's Quest VI", and a few other CDROM releases.

I've installed and used probably hundreds of the things (dual spins... the 3X ROMS are still too much cash). I've dealt with Panasonics, Mitsumis, Sonys and Phillips. I personally selected the Panasonic (Matsushita) CR-562. It seems to have the most reliable transport mechanism, easy to install & setup, no compatibility probs, works directly from most of the new sound/controller cards and almost everybody is selling them so you can shop around for a good price. A note if you've already got a Soundbaster Pro or 16 is that the driver for the Panasonic 562 has been updated to work properly on these cards. Hope this helps.

If you want to use the CD audio from a Mitsumi cd drive with a SB Pro you will have to rewire the plug on the end of the audio cable that plugs into the sound card. If you don't want to mess with rewiring it, you can usually buy an already wired cable for about $10.00 at the local computer store. Other options are to buy a different sound card. There are lots of them out there that offer all three (Sony, Mitsumi, or Panasonic) of the interfaces instead of just one. They are fully SB compatable and I have seen some that actually work better than the SB. I own a SB Pro and I have thought of switching over to a different card myself. The SB Pro is an 8 bit card and I would like to move into 16 bit with some sort of wavetable option. The SB Pro doesnt have these options. Look around at all the options before buying!

Yes, you can run a patch cord from the front jack, or if you do have RCA jacks on the back of your CD-ROM drive, from those. Run them into the jack on your SB. Internal is visually cleaner. The RCA's should be the same sound, but the jack on the front isn't as good since it was really meant to drive headphones. Lower quality audio, but it does work, and it is easy. For quite a while, I ran the front jack directly to an external stereo, but of course I couldn't take the sound into the sound card and do things with it if I wanted to.

Also, you would be looking at an additional $25.00 or so for the media as well. Also, just a quick note here. Before you spend your $$$ on the above, make sure your SCSI drive is AV certified. If not, you'll need to bear the expenes of a new drive as well. Although a new system will be hitting the market soon that will work with all SCSI drives.

Ryan: I ordered one of Tiger's "bargain" $49 drives and despite trying every combination of IRQs, drivers, autoexec.bat and config.sys configurations and slot combinations, could not get it to run. Discussions with Tiger and Philips tech staff, who were all very helpful, nonetheless did not solve the problem either. Philips admitted that they had recently developed driver problems that they couldn't track down. I even tried loading the driver on my uncompressed host drive, thinking that that might be the problem. A second drive did not solve the problem, so they're both going back this weekend. So if your up for a challenge, keep trying! Otherwise, you may end up calling Tiger for an RA as I did. Too bad, they seemed like a really good deal! Good luck!

However, the I'net is somewhat different from fidoNet (or other net) echos - users are (for the most part) "traceable" (it's easy to find out who/where someone really is), responsible (they discourage posting rumors, third-hand information, etc.), and welcome dialog with others over the subject matter posted. I'll be happy to copy and re-post your message if you will give me and agree to have an address or phone number through which you will welcome dialog - even if for no other reason than to verify all this. B.t.w, I'm sorry about your problem. You're obviously (and understandably) angry. Spreading this information will not bring Delorme Mapping to its knees. They will probably never notice any impact on their business. It will only give you a little more "satisfaction" than you have already had by posting the original message. We might also hope that it will inform others who would be inclined to buy the program so that they can assure themselves that it will perform as they require.

Actually, genuine pure CDROM are the same as the ones bundled with kits. Usually, kits are a definite better value, as they include many titles that actually cost quite a bit sometimes. If you need encyclopedias, buy a CD bundle, cause most usually cost about $99 by itself and if you plan to play games, get something like Game Blaster. Usually, the kits come with Panasonic drives that are also available by itself. I think kits from Creative and all kits from Reveal are Panasonic CD562 drives. Media Vision has Phillips (bad) drives and some Reno SCSI thing. I has to buy a 'genuine' Cdrom as you like to call it because I already have 3 sound cards in my computer and I've already got good speakers hooked up, so I have no use for the speakers or the sound card. I'd love the CDROM titles though, those usually cost a fortune to buy! Clem ...

It is ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS to post the SAME message EVERY day. It costs money to our local Sysops (some of whom have to pay international long distance call charges to retrieve all your junk), and costs many thousands of us worldwide to download all this rubbish. No doubt you DO carry good discs, and maybe even at good prices. But I have to point out, quite apart from your offensive and quite willful violation of the rules established by the Moderator for this conference, that I simply no longer read your messages anymore... even if one of your messages contained something I were interested in, I wouldn't even know it (you're like the boy who cried "Wolf!!" too often). Meanwhile, I'm ordering discs rather regularly from the other dealers here, who DON'T abuse us participants here. Please... once a week is MORE than enough! P.S. The fact that *your* multiple messages are posted at EXACTLY the same time as those (similarly abusive) of your "colleague", presumably pseudonym "Jerod Husvar", merely adds insult to injury. :-(( * SLMR 2.1 * --- WM v3.11/92-0654 * Origin: CAD Connection - Montesson, FR 33 (1) 39-52-98-54 (2:320/203) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GORDON PETERSON Number: 4860 To: JERRY THOMSON Date: 09/05/94 1:49p Subj: $49 Cd-rom Drive???!

For example, one of those servers contains (in its eight I/O slots): 2 Philips drive (the Tiger one, I think) controllers 3 Mitsumi drive controllers 1 Display card 1 ARCnet LAN card 1 multi-I/O controller (for the booting floppy) The whole thing runs on Little Big LAN (which means I don't need either a keyboard or a monitor on it, since LBL lets me access its console keyboard/screen from another processor on the network). This particular machine, by the way, is running on an old 286 motherboard with 1Mb on it, which would be essentially useless other than for such a server. :-) JT>which Pioneer makes 6 of them.

JT>Let me know about the card th JT>comes with it and how many of those Phillips drives can be connected to one JT>card. One drive per card, and what's more they limit you to only IRQs 3,4,5,6. Which is a bad design choice, since IRQ 6 is always used for the floppy... so you can't put more than 3 of the Philips drives in the same machine. :-( But they work quite nicely alongside the Mitsumi single-speed drives, which are much more accommodating regarding the IRQs etc. * SLMR 2.1 * --- WM v3.11/92-0654 * Origin: CAD Connection - Montesson, FR 33 (1) 39-52-98-54 (2:320/203) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GORDON PETERSON Number: 4861 To: DIRK RACKLEY Date: 09/05/94 1:51p Subj: catalog Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No DR> We are primarily a hardware dealer in cd-rom.

Well the basics first. I have a 33mhz 486 with 8 megs of memory, a sound blaster 16, and a newly installed sony 33a double speed drive(that was fun to install I'll tell you). First problem I'm having is with a game I picked up call Space Quest Four. If I run it from DOS I don't hear the voices from the game but I do hear the music. Both voices and music work if I run the game from windows. Also if graphics are being written to the screen the voices are jerky. Have I installed something wrong or is this normal?? If normal what can be done to make it better? How much differance does smartdrive make to running CD's and if so how large of a cache should I use. If anyone else has picked up the sony 33a, did you get the Softbank on Hand cds with it running? Mine installed ok but when I went to read them I got a message saying there was no discs in the drive.

And when you press "about rah-66" or whatever, it comes up with a really cool graphics animation type thing. I want to know how they did it. It can't be an animation, at that resolution, on my 486sx25, it is impossible. It would look SO choppy. So, it must be calculated in some way. Does it use the Voxel Space Environment? Or what? I am completely stumped on this one. I'm just getting into some computer programing, and something like these 2 things would be an excellent goal to program over a few years of learning. But it's hard to set a goal that you know absolutely nothing about. Anyway, if anyone has anything to say about this, or any other aspect of this wonder called Comanche CD, please write back.

Thanks. -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I make the Lord of the Dead cry? Hint: Use the magic mirror from the Isle of the Beast on him. │ │The Castle│ │ -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I avoid the Guard Dogs? Hint: Stay away from the Guard Dogs. If they catch you, they will throw you into the dungeon. You might be able to dodge the dogs by using the Wind-Up Nightingale from the Pawn Shop to distract them. The pillars can be an effective hiding place. To hide behind a pillar click the hand icon on it. -------- PROBLEM -------- I'm in the dungeon! What do I do? Hint: If you have wandered into the dungeons and have met the Little Boy Ghost, give him the Ghost Handkerchief from the Mother Ghost in the Realm of the Dead. Be sure to listen to what the boy ghost has to say. If you've been thrown into the dungeon by the Guard Dogs and have made friends with Jollo, he will help you escape the first time. If you have been captured a second time and have the Skeleton Key from the Realm of the Dead you can use it to escape. If you are caught a third time, haven't made friends with Jollo, and don't have the Skeleton Key, you will have to restore your game to an earlier point. -------- PROBLEM -------- What do I do if I encounter Jollo? Hint: Jollo won't talk to you unless you made friends with him on the Isle of the Crown. If you are friends, talk to him. He has some good advice. Give him the replica of the Genie's lamp you bought from the Lamp Seller. -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I get into the Vizier's Bedroom? Hint: Find the door in the upstairs hallway. It is the first one on the West wall. There is a secret passage to the room too! -------- PROBLEM -------- Where is the secret passage? How do I use it? Hint: Find the suit of armor in the North basement hallway. Use the Hand cursor on the suit's right arm. Once in the passageway, examine any chinks in the wall you come across. You will recognize the chinks in the wall by the light streaming through them. Listen to everything you hear--part of a puzzle is revealed this way. Find and enter the Vizier's bedroom. Find and talk to Cassima. The chink in the wall of Cassima's room is located at the top of the stairs. The chink in the wall of the Vizier's study is located down the hall. In order to use the Secret Passage, you must have given the Ghost Handkerchief to the Little Boy Ghost in the dungeon. -------- PROBLEM -------- What do I do in the Vizier's Bedroom? Hint: Open the ebony box on the dresser and read the note. Open the trunk. -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I open the Vizier's trunk? Hint: You can open the trunk with either the Skeleton Key from the Realm of the Dead, or you can use a nail. To obtain a nail, find the picture on the wall behind a pillar upstairs. Remove the picture from the wall. Take the nail from the wall and use it to open the trunk. Be sure to put the nail and picture back when you're done! Once you've opened the trunk, take the incriminating letter from inside it. -------- PROBLEM -------- Where is Cassima? Cassima's door is in the north hall upstairs. -------- PROBLEM -------- What do I do when I find Cassima? Hint: Click the Talk cursor on her door to speak to her. If you have found her by means of the secret passageway, click the Talk cursor on the chink in the wall. Give her the dagger Lady Celeste gave you. Click the dagger on Cassima's door or the chink in the wall depending on how you reached her. Do it fast, or you will be caught by the guards! -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I enter the locked storeroom? Hint: The storeroom door is magically protected. You have to Talk to the door to get it to open. When the keypad comes up, enter in the strange word you overheard in the secret passageway. Then enter the word that you found in the Vizier's ebony box. Together, the magic words are A-L-I-Z-E-B-U. Once you enter, uncover the table and look at each of the items on it. -------- PROBLEM -------- I keep getting run through by Captain Saladin! How do I get past him? Hint: You must give him the incriminating letter you found in the Vizier's room quickly! ║ │The Wedding│ ║ -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I stop the wedding? Hint: Once inside the wedding area, step forward and/or speak to the Vizier or Cassima. If you have been to the Realm of the Dead and rescued the King and Queen of the Green Isles, they will enter and help you. Use the magic mirror on Cassima. The mirror will reveal that Cassima is really the Genie in disguise. The Genie will attack. Avoid the Genie's spells by following the Vizier through the door to the top of the tower. -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I defeat the Genie? Hint: When the Genie appears in the top of the tower and you happened to have given Jollo a lamp earlier in the game, you can use the lamp to trap the Genie. Otherwise, you must use the Peppermint Leaves from the cave at the top of the Logic Cliffs to confuse him. You will not be able to defeat the Genie in the wedding area, only at the top of the tower. -------- PROBLEM -------- How do I defeat the Vizier? Hint: Take the heavy sword from the wall and attack him. Cassima must have a dagger. If you run into trouble, Cassima will attack him. Finish the Vizier off with the sword.

Depends on what resolution and color depth of animation you're talking about. Currently, most animation seems to be fairly low-resolution, encompassing no more than 100x100 pixels (guestimate). Full-screen animation on the other hand,would likely be at least 320x200, and possibly even higher, and no double-speed CD-ROM would be able to keep up with that. I somehow doubt that even quadruple-speed CD-ROMs are adequate for the job. Animation speed depends entirely on the transfer rate of the drive. A single-speed drive is about 150K/s and a double-speed is about 300K/s, etc. You can determine from this transfer rate what resolution of pictures you should be able to send through. RC> b) Does anyone have the Mediavision Reno portable CD RC> Rom drive? It is a double speed, 180ms, 64K cahce RC> drive. Will it do the job? Can't comment.

You'll certainly notice the difference between it and lower-speed drives, but whether it is still *absolutely* adequate for what you want to do, I do not offer an opinion.

Hint: that ladder may come in handy... Best of luck, Jeremy in Chicago.

I'm sure we can figure this out. What kind of sound card are you using? What version of QuickTime? Have QTW files been copied to your \windows\system directory or to the directory with the application you installed it with? I would recommend finding a utility which hunts down duplicite files. There are several File Manager extensions you can use, or try a stand alone. You can probably find what you need on a local BBS. If you can't find one anywhere, let me know and I'll tell you what Chicago boards have them and send you their numbers. Once you get such a utility, scan all your drives for all dupe files. It may be that you have multiple copies of QTW .DLLs on your system. That's the only thing I can think of, really. If you can play other sounds and AVI files, Windows probably knows how to talk to your sound card, which would suggest the problem is with QTW. Best of luck, Jeremy in Chicago.

The correct name for the movies on CD-ROM is actually Video-CD. Much work is still in the process because of the compression needed to get a full length move on one disc. The max recording time at the moment is 77 minutes, so any movie greater than that is currently being put on two ROMS. When it is all said and done, the MPEG2 compression will probably provide enough compression to get the full movie on one disc and the hardware will most likely change a good bit between now and then. ...

Depends on what resolution and color depth of animation you're talking about. Currently, most animation seems to be fairly low-resolution, encompassing no more than 100x100 pixels (guestimate). Full-screen animation on the other hand,would likely be at least 320x200, and possibly even higher, and no double-speed CD-ROM would be able to keep up with that. I somehow doubt that even quadruple-speed CD-ROMs are adequate for the job. Animation speed depends entirely on the transfer rate of the drive. A single-speed drive is about 150K/s and a double-speed is about 300K/s, etc. You can determine from this transfer rate what resolution of pictures you should be able to send through.

What you're really interested in when you do animation is the K/s transfer rate. RC> d) Should I spend the extra bucks for a triple speed drive? Only if you want to. You'll certainly notice the difference between it and lower-speed drives, but whether it is still *absolutely* adequate for what you want to do, I do not offer an opinion.

I'm sure we can figure this out. What kind of sound card are you using? What version of QuickTime? Have QTW files been copied to your \windows\system directory or to the directory with the application you installed it with? I would recommend finding a utility which hunts down duplicite files. There are several File Manager extensions you can use, or try a stand alone. You can probably find what you need on a local BBS. If you can't find one anywhere, let me know and I'll tell you what Chicago boards have them and send you their numbers. Once you get such a utility, scan all your drives for all dupe files. It may be that you have multiple copies of QTW .DLLs on your system. That's the only thing I can think of, really. If you can play other sounds and AVI files, Windows probably knows how to talk to your sound card, which would suggest the problem is with QTW. Best of luck, Jeremy in Chicago.

How are you ? Can I get you to answer a few questions about DTIME-10 cd accellerator, please ? Exactly what is this ? Is it hardware (like maybe a card that goes in a 16 bit slot) or what ? You say it will make a 1x cd-rom drive run as fast as a 4x ? Would a person be able to install DTIME-10 and then be able to run cd games which require a 3x drive ? Does it increase the transfer speed (like a 1x has 150kb a sec, a 2x has 300kb a sec, etc.) of the drive also ? Would one be able to run full-motion video on cd using it ?
