You definately want a double speed drive, minimum. And as far as sound
cards go, I lean towards compatibility, so I would suggest the SB16. This
one connects directly to the Creative Labs double speed drive, and should

Mine came with the "GOLDEN1" drivers. You might want to call up the

wouldn't mind sending you a copy of their drivers. If you want to do

Yes, you would think that someone wouldn't want the Panasonic name to
shine in this bad light. I think that most of these 'Panasonic' drives
were sold as OEM (just the drive) to distributers, so there are
different drivers from different places. But, look at it this way, if
Panasonic sold this drive with their name on it, and with tech support,
you'd probably pay alot more than you did.

╘═══════════════════════════════╛
Mike,
I had a similar problem. What it was was the audio cable connecting the
sound card to the Cd-Rom had to be rewired. Rewiring it was a very
simple thing to do and only took about 2 minutes. All I needed was a
pin to release the plastic tabs on the plastic connector, which enabled
me to remove and then reseat the wires in their proper positions.
What you need to do is look at the wiring diagrams for both the CD-Rom
audio output, and the input to the soundcard, repin the cable, reconnect
it, and you should be OK!
Hope this helps, let me know how you make out.........

Poor, poor Brice... now sit down and take a deep breath before you
pass out. Next, go back and re-read my message (or, should I say, READ
my message. Obviously you didn't read it the first time.). In not one
single message of mine did I suggest that anybody should plug their
Panasonic/Matsushita drive into an IDE interface card. That foolish
advice came from you, not me. I specifically stated in more than one
message that the Panasonic/Matsushita must be plugged into either the
ATBUS card, or the SoundBlaster card. When I said that it was an
IDE-type of interface, any fool should have understood that I was
referring to the category of interface that Panasonic uses. I said
they had a proprietary interface using IDE-type circuitry. I most
specifically DID NOT say ANYWHERE to go plug your drive into an IDE
card. That idiotic suggestion came from you, and only from you.
By the way, when I say that a B-29 bomber had gasoline-powered engines,
and lawnmowers also have gasoline-powered engines, would you interpret
that as a recommendation to install a Pratt & Whitney R4350 engine on
your lawnmower? You really do like to twist things around to try to
make yourself look like you know what you're talking about, don't you?
Too bad you really don't.

Yeah, and I suppose you could cut it even finer than that... you could

cycle. But then, we'd be splitting hairs, and we'd be deflecting
attention away from the fact that you're just trying to come off as
someone who knows something, when in fact you don't. 1 cycle serves
adequately as demonstrating alternating current... in fact, if it
didn't cycle 360 degrees, it wouldn't be an alternating current because
it has to wind up back where it started to be "alternating."
Otherwise, it's just "varying." You might have a life expectancy of a
few billion years to see it cycle 360 degrees in 1 billion years, but
the rest of us mortals will settle for once a second as being adequate
to demonstrate a point. By your definition of "varying" the current as
being "alternating" current, then we could simply raise the amplitude
from zero to infinity, and you would think you had alternating current.
The rest of us could see that it's not alternating at all; it's just
increasing in value forever.

BF> Error. If it's not Electical in nature (in the context of THIS discus

BF> is NOT a current.
So electrons can move only through a wire, is that what you're saying?
How about if they moved through two metal plates, separated by air?
(That's a Capacitor, in case you didn't recognize it.) Thus, as I
stated, a current can be moving through wire, but it can also move
through anything... air... wood... mica... ceramic... paper... So,
let's see how your argument holds up with the judges?
Bzzzz. Wrong again, Brice. A current for the purposes of this
discussion obviously starts out as electrons, which are converted to
Audio by a speaker.
Oh, and be sure to explain to me how those electrons could move through
a capacitor if they WEREN'T alternating current? Or do you hold a
patent on a new kind of capacitor that passes DC as well as AC? Audio
being carried on an electric current couldn't pass through a capacitor
if it weren't alternating current. So does it pass through the
capacitor? Of course! How could it do so if it weren't alternating
current? Who knows? Not Brice, obviously.
>Yes, we normally don't think of audio as Alternating
>Current, but what else would you call it?
BF> You call it by what it IS - Audio, or SOUND.
What do you call it before it gets to the speaker, Brice dear? Chopped
liver? It's AC current, electrons marching to the speaker, where
they are converted to audio. But the current that flows to that
speaker is alternating at an audio rate. (Light bulb lights over
Brice's head....) An Alternating Current!
>The ONLY thing our ears CAN hear is AC.
BF> The only thing our ears can hear is SOUND, within "audio frequencies"

You hear currents every day of the week, CONVERTED to sound. If the
currents didn't exist, you wouldn't hear anything at all. I know you
believe radios are magic boxes with little people sitting in there with
musical instruments, but trust me... electronic AC currents are flowing
in there, which get converted to audio, which you can hear. Unplug the
radio, and you don't hear it any more. What's missing? The electronic
current, which you say you can't hear. But, then, it's obvious that
you don't hear a lot of other things, either.

Wrong. A nice try, but wrong. The only difference between a radio
wave or an X-ray or a light wave or a heat wave is the frequency at
which the energy is alternating. If it alternates slowly, we hear it
as sound. Alternate it a little faster, and it's radio. Alternate it
faster still, and we feel heat. Keep speeding up the rate of
alternation, and we get light. Ditto Gamma Rays. Ditto X-rays. Want
simple proof of this statement? Go back to your high school (if you
ever attended one), go to the library, and study the Doppler Effect.
It's a simple enough theory, but basically it says if you cram more
alternations into a given time period, you get a higher frequency.
Stretch out those alternations over a longer time period, and you get a
lower frequency. If they weren't alternating, it wouldn't work. But
Doppler does work... it works at audio frequencies, and it works at
Microwave frequencies, where we call it Radar. Ever ask yourself how
Doppler Effect can work on audio (e.g., a train whistle) and Microwave
(Radar) if they're not basically the same alternating currents, only
alternating at vastly different rates?
Now go do your homework before you bother me again with your braying
about how much you know and how wrong I am. You're getting very
boring. Come back when you want to learn something.

It pleases us to announce that due to our growing shipping volume,
FedEXpress has become our preferred courier. USPS Priority was our
preferred method, however, recent performance such as week-long delays
and damaged jewel cases made us look elsewhere. We contacted all the
other couriers to see who would offer our customers the best deal.
FedEX won the bid by allowing us to offer their economy service, which
is as close to guaranteed two-day service as anyone will offer, for only
$3.00 additional over USPS priorty rates. Of course, we will continue
to offer your preferred shipper, as we have accounts with all of the

Well as far compatibility creative labs has compatibility problems with there
own boards..And yes the Pro Audio spectrum 16 and the Logitech soundman are
basically the same..the Soundman is based on the media vision chipset..As for
the Gravis, it is a nice board for midi and sb compatible, but your going to
find more compatibility problems with SB emulation..Midi on it is very good and
is becoming more and more accepted..Now myself, I have the Card from Cardinal,
and an mt-32..The cardinal card is nice since it is based on a DSP chip from
Analog Devices..the same chip that Orchid uses in there Soundwave32..And the
Cardinal has an Optional on-board Wave-table socket that gives the board
gen.midi for $59.00 retail..Basically I can not tell you what to buy because
there is so many cards out there..I have had no problems with the Cardinal
board and am very happy with it..There is M-peg Audio Compression available for
it..Cardinal will be releasing another version with the wavetable on-board
called the DSP16wave..it should be available within 2 mos for $169.00
retail..But if your looking for a basic fm-syn board go with the Pro-Audio
basic..Cheap but less capable..Want to upgrade to basic wave-table in the
future and have audio upgrades like surround sound go with the Cardinal
board..it lists for $159.00 with a street price of $129.00..and comes with a
3 year warranty and of course is American Made..Good Luck and Happy Shopping..

COMING SOON TO STARVECTOR SOFTWARE: 3 BRAND NEW WAYS TO PAY!
-------------------------------------------------------------
For the added convenience of our CD-ROM customers, Starvector will soon be
adding three new payment methods. In addition to accepting Visa, Discover,
Mastercard, American Express, COD, wire transfer, personal checks, and
money orders, we will offer the following beginning around Feb. 1st. Choose
the one that works best for you................
1. PhoneCheck - With this new and exciting payment option, you may use
your personal or business checking account just like a credit card.
Simply provide us with your name as it appears on your check, the
checking account number, and the check number you would like to use.
It's that simple! We can then process your order over the phone, by
fax, or through our BBS online order door, and your checking account
will be debited AUTOMATICALLY 24 hours after the order has shipped.
This option is especially nice for those who don't have credit cards,
or who have been ordering by COD. Save those $5 and $6 COD fees and
eliminate the hassle of cash/money order COD's! Plus, the service
carries NO additional surcharge or fee! Even if you have a credit
card, you may want to try this method on occasion to minimize your
monthly VISA/MASTERCARD interest charges.
2. Diner's Club - For those who prefer to pay with their Diner's Club
credit card.
3. Carte Blanche - For those who prefer to pay with their Carte Blanche
credit card.
In addition to these new services, Starvector is in the process of
establishing a relationship with Federal Express to begin using 2-Day
Economy service as our default shipping method. Shipping charges will be
only slightly higher than UPS ground, with a dramatic decrease in delivery
time to 85% of the U.S. Our growing base of international customers will
also benefit from this new economy service.
We're constantly looking for ways to improve our service, pricing, and
selection. We look forward to serving you!

I agree. Most of the people that have replied to this say
about the same thing. It seems that of all the metals to use,
aluminum would be about the worst choice. (Nothing oxidizes quite
as fast!)
If Kodak is really trying to make something to archive your
pictures, you think they would use the gold plated disks. They
cost more, but if you're thinking of really long term storage,
they seem the way to go.
If nothing else, I think Kodak should offer them as an
option. If you want to pay the additional cost for long life,
that should be up to you. I know that I have SOME pictures that I
would pay the extra charge to have placed on gold.

Anyone have any Idea why this happens ?
I have 5 Toshiba CD-Roms XM-3201B, XM3101BME or similar types. Here is the
Problem I have with 3 that are now Dead..... At first, I notices the Access
Light Flashed on and off every 1.5 seconds or so....
On one drive it did it for over 3 months, the other 2 for less than a
month...but the drive still worked perfectly.
Then one day, after rebooting the computer, the light stayed on and the drive
will no longer work and I get a CDR101 "Drive not Ready Error"
The Drive is recognized by the Drivers.
If I keep Powering Down and Starting the computer ( not rebooting, but turning
the Power switch off then on) the CD-Rom works Briefly about 1 out of 10 times,
Going Back to the Flashing. Also when this Happens sometimes I can Read the
drive, and other times I get the CDR101 Error. As long as the light is
flashing, I can keep hitting Retry and sooner or later the drive again begins
to read, but after a while, the CDR101 error appears again. I have 3 Drives
that do this, but 2 others that always work perfectly on the same controller
and cable, I even tried switching the connectors around, and ID's.
I have been told many different stories... Optics Dirty (used a CD Cleaning
Disk about 10 times), Optics out of allignment, ect.
Anybody ever seen this problem, know what it might be, or know of a Fix ?
Thanks,

fine for bbs files. Trouble is, I can't get them both to initialize. I use
MSCDEX and MSCD001 in my config.sys and autoexec.bat respectively, and have
the interface cards set identically. Maybe this is my problem.
Anyway, the DAK book that came with them doesn't tell you how to set the cards
or the driver to run two CDs at the same time. I have 1 running fine, but need
to know how to do 2, anyone have an answer?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks...John Carroll-Treasure Coast BBs

DP>Hows your Sound blaster work with that set up? I heard that

Great. Using the old 8 bit sound blaster here, and CL has written a driver
for it that will allow you to open any number of sessions at the same time
(midi or wav or both) and cycle between them. As soon as you click on
another window it starts playing and the first pauses. I've been told the
Soundblaster ASP 16 can support 2 different sessions playing at the same time,
but I don't have one to check it out with.
Games work fine too, I can run Doom, or KQ6 from CD. In fact I couldn't get
enough free memory under straight DOS to run KQ6 on CD, but when I booted
back to OS/2 all the drivers for the CD, sound card, etc., were handled by
OS/2, and I had more than enough memory since the DOS sessions didn't have
their memory limited by the drivers.

I ain't no expert, but I've been reading this conference for
a while, and in answer to your soundcard dilemma, there is NO
consensus. SB 16 ASP seems to be the measure for most of the
cards, though there are also vehement anti-SB proponents. I have
an original SB, and eventually will go to a SB16, cuz everything
I have works fine even with my primitive SB. Browse through this
conference, and you'll find opinions from all quarters, but, I don't
think, any single answer to your questions.
I have a NEC 3xE. It performs Excellently. It needs a board
from NEC, not included w/ the CD-Drive. Card is about $120.
All the drivers you need come with the SCSI card from NEC.
MSCDEX.SYS is the driver, I think about ver. 2.2 or 2.3 now.
I STRONGLY suggest browsing this conference for a few days if
you want to get opinions on all of the above.

Hi Joey. You won't have to go through the maze again once
you've solved it. So that's one stress element in your
life you be unburdened of.
The microscope is a b-t-h. I have seen comments in this
and other conferences that there is a bug in it that does
not allow YOU to beat the puzzle. Idea is to get the blue
globs to eat the green ones, by moving a blue glob to a new
destination (next to it, or overleap). I've also seen a
message from someone who claimed to have beaten the puzzle.
The "clue" exit is to your left, but the clues are next to
useless. The whole objective is to fill the checkerboard
w/ blue globs. Of course, going to the clue 3 X's will by-pass
the puzzle.
May the great powersupply in the sky smile on your efforts.

Diane...I'm not using a Sound Blaster, but my

fact, I have my CD-ROM playing a audio CD through it

You will have a few headaches with it, but you can probably get it up and
running pretty simply. Being true SCSI will help you out more then not. Being
novell certified is not needed, just something that people look for to make
100% sure. I have seen them working with novell, but do not know exctally what
setup was being used for the configuration.

NA> Do you get the hint booklets etc with it?
Hi Nick!
You are looking for THE LOST TREASURES OF INFOCOM vol.'s 1 and 2 (2 separate
packs). The first one contains about twenty of the original text adventures
(including all the original Zorks, Hitch-hikers, the Enchanter series, etc).
The second volume has 12 of the later games.
Yes, you get the complete original packaging material (documentation and
photo's of the gadgets they used to include), you also get a hint book
which contains complete solutions (in hint form - not walk through) for all
the games which don't have online help (which was in some of the later games).
You also get maps for all the games - which saves you having to map them
out yourself (it's not really cheating - just time saving).
Both packs have been available for some time - have a look around in the
games stores. Alternatively, my copy of Return to Zork had a catalogue
which includes the packages for $59.95 (vol. 1) and $39.95 (vol. 2) - call
Activision on (02) 809 4444 to order (remember to specify CD-ROM). They
are also offerring the original LEATHER GODDESSES OF PHOBOS (which isn't
on either CD-ROM) for $14.95.
Catch ya' later!

Just to clear up the confusion that, that might create (while trying not

it native mode (obviously), which since just recently purchasing a gus,
I've found alot of support from games (which I found suprising).
But the flexiblity is that the GUS can actually emulate other standards
by software... which I find really neat. I don't use the SB emulation
(I use a PAS16 also, with it's dedicated SB circuitry), and it also
emulates the Roland, both MT32 LAPC-1, and SCC-1. Which I also haven't
found any probs with, even tho Gravis have forewarned against... So
altogether its a great little card. Which incidently I've found alot
easier to install/setup/use than the PAS16....

FedEXpress has become our preferred courier. USPS Priority was our
preferred method, however, recent performance such as week-long delays

other couriers to see who would offer our customers the best deal.
FedEX won the bid by allowing us to offer their economy service, which
is as close to guaranteed two-day service as anyone will offer, for only
$3.00 additional over USPS priorty rates. Of course, we will continue

First, the driver (mtmcdae.sys) is dated 7-14-93. I think HS>version
1.10, but I'm not sure. Question: Is this the latest drive
available? I'd like one that hopefully would be smaller when loade
into memory. The line in config.sys for this driver is: HS>
mtmcdae.sys /d:cdrom001 (?) /p:300 /a:0 /m:32 /t:5 HS>The problem
is that this takes up 78k of my hi memory. I know th HS>reducing
the /m switch would help, but that would also reduce
performance, right?
MG>I've got the LU005. My mtmcde.sys is dated 3/5/93 and is 19k. Works fine wi
MG>dos 6.2. Don't know how you take up so much memory. I use the /x switch tha
MG>puts the buffers into extended [expanded?] memory. Try that. FWIW here is mi
MG>DEVICEHIGH C:\DEV\MTMCDE.SYS /d:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:32 /T:S /I:10 /X
Thanks for the reply, Mike. The /x switch did the trick! I
thought that loaded the driver into high memory which I was
already doing with the DEVICEHIGH command but using it reduced
the driver's size to 15k. I now have 620k free conv. memory.
Damn, I've already ordered QEMM, too. Oh well.
MG>HS> Second, this drive does not use an SCSI interface, right? HS>it u
MG>an AT bus interface? The reason is, I cannot use smartdrive HS>cache this
MG>drive, correct? If not, what caching program can I use? HS>I've read that
MG>Norton's Speedcache will work, but I'm not positive.
MG>It's not scsi, but proprietary. Don't think that matters as far as caching
MG>long as you have the latest smartdrive. You may need to set a swtich. I go
MG>it to cache, but don't remember how.
I've been able to cache the cd-rom with limited success. Main
problem is that I can't get smartdrive (dos 6.2 version) to
cache _only_ the cd drive. It also caches C: and H: which I
don't want. I have a vl-bus, caching controller to do that.
Adding any software cache, in my experience and testing, only
decreases the performance, let alone use of valuable memory!
HS>Finally, how do I connect the drive so that I can hear musi
HS>through the SB Pro? Right now, the line-out wire goes to the
cd-rom HS>drive's interface card's line-in connector. As it is, I
cannot hea HS>au disc's sound through the sound card and amplified
speakers. HS>that I'd necessarily want to, but I assume if a had a
game with mus HS>that I would n hear it then, right? Should I
connect this wire f HS>the cd-rom drive to th SBPro's cd-in plug?
MG>Sounds like you have it backwards. Run an audio cable from the audio outs o
MG>the drive to the line in on the sound card. I did it on my pas16 and a frie
MG>did it that way on his SB16.
I do have it running from the AUDIO-OUT on the cd to the LINE-IN
on the SBPro. From what I've heard, you have to connect it
backwards to the SBPro card, but I've been unable to.
It's connected "forward" (??) to the soundcard right now and I
can't even hear sound using the headphone jack on the front of
the drive. I will connect it back to the interface card to see
if I have any better luck.

I had the same problem. A friend helped me get it working. Call up
Carmen, go to the setup menu and select the appropriate Sound card.
(Mine uses the same set up as a SoundBlaster, even though it's something

Quoting Hall Stevenson to All concerning MITSUMI CD-ROM QUESTIONS:
╒═══════════════════════════════╕
░▄░ I recently bought a Mitsumi FX001D cd-rom and have a few
░▄░questions.
░▄░ Second, this drive does not use an SCSI interface, right? Does
░▄░it use an AT bus interface? The reason is, I cannot use smartdrive to
░▄░cache this drive, correct? If not, what caching program can I use?
░▄░I've read that Norton's Speedcache will work, but I'm not positive.
Its a proprietary interface, not SCSI! And YES, you can use the
Smartdrive program that comes with DOS 6.2, to cache CD Roms.
░▄░ Finally, how do I connect the drive so that I can hear music
░▄░through the SB Pro? Right now, the line-out wire goes to the cd-rom
░▄░drive's interface card's line-in connector. As it is, I cannot hear a
░▄░audio disc's sound through the sound card and amplified speakers. Not
░▄░that I'd necessarily want to, but I assume if a had a game with music
░▄░that I would not hear it then, right? Should I connect this wire from
░▄░the cd-rom drive to the SBPro's cd-in plug?
I had a problem EXACTLY like your with my Mitsumi LU005 drive and a
Soundblaster Pro clone. The problem was that I had to re-pin the
cable that attached to the soundcard, by reversing the positions of
the 4 wires. It was very simple to do. I suggest you check the
wiring diagrams of the CD rom sound output terminals and the sound
input terminals of the sound card. Then do the repin and it'll work
fine with audio CD's.
░▄░
░▄░I appreciate anyone's help and look forward to your reply.
░▄░

Hope this helps! Let me know how you make out!

I paid $400 for mine, about 1 YEAR after CDs finally made it into the sale

Top-line stuff actually has gone UP - but so has the "performance". You CAN

Some drives require you to put your disc in a "caddy" before you put it in the
drive - the proported benifit is better protection for your ROM, but this is
outweighed in MOST cases by the fact that a caddy is HARDER to get a ROM into
safely than putting it into a caddyless drive.
The additional cost factor is also significant.
Multi-disc players, SO FAR, all require some sort of a carrier/caddy, but that
is another story (VERY FEW multi-disc players, even AUDIO ones, get by without
some sort of "caddy").

Not on a CD-ROM, anyway - except for the fact that ALL of the 3X or faster
drives are currently available ONLY in SCSI interface.
I expect this to change in time - buy by the time the first non-SCSI 4X drive
pops up, there will likely be 5X or faster SCSI CD-ROM(s) around.
>Second, SCSI utilizes DMA transfers for I/O to and from the motherboard.
Not in ALL cases - the Allways IN-2000, for example, uses Programmed I/O NOT
DMA.
>While this is the fastest way to get information to and from system memory
NOT!
DMA on the average 80386 or higher motherboard is SLOWER than programmed I/O
can be done. Many 80286's have slower DMA than PIO can do.
>SCSI-based computer systems become quite slow at foreground
>tasks when doing heavy disk access in the background.
This is true for ANY system.
> One more thing, where do you expect to find a hard drive that can maintain
a
>sustained throughput rate that is anywhere NEAR the numbers I mentioned above?
Fastest I've seen were somewhat in excess of 3 Megs/sec SUSTAINED speed - and
ALL of those were SCSI. Fastest IDE I have seen was a little less than 2
Megs/sec.
> Food for thought. I hate to sound arrogant but SCSI-for-the-end-user is
>aimed at people with more money than brains...
Nope - it's aimed at those of us unwilling to put up with the limitations of
the IDE interface - and while the Host Adapters are more expensive than IDE,
the DRIVES are not once you get up past the 512 Meg range (and sometimes are
the same even in the 200-500 Meg range).
SCSI is also nice in that you can run 7 drives from one controller, and you
are NOT limited to hard drives and (a VERY few) tape drives.
Last point - try finding a multi-disc CD-ROM drive with ANY non-SCSI interface
- you won't, they don't EXIST.

I've just purchased an NEC 3Xe TripleSpin CDROM player ( also known as the
CDR-600 ). I thought I could just hook it up to my SCSI card and let her rip.
HA! My MIS department bought a SCSI adapter made by a company called BusTek (
not many people I've talked to have heard of them ). I need to get the MSCDEX
drivers for the SCSI card to talk to the 3Xe. Can anybody help me with this?
Ideally I would like to get my hands on one of the following:
1) BBS # where I can logon and download the drivers
2) Address of BusTek so I can contact them about getting the drivers
3) Any other information that would help me get this CDROM player running.
Failing that, I'd grab at a LARGE bottle of Tylenol.
Thanks in advance to anybody who might be able to help me.

Hi,
Over in the Windows forum the general concensus is that the USR Sportser
is the way to go. Seems to be very compatible.
and so as to stay on topic,
I have seen a few msg about playing music from a CDROM. I have a Texel
5024 and my specs on the music side are _not_ as good as my cheapie cd
in my stereo system. I really don't think that these things are really
desinged to play music.

OS/2 does not have support for compressed drives. You can, however, purchase
Stacker for OS/2 and DOS which will add Stacker support to OS/2 (for FAT
partitions). Stacker for OS/2 and DOS will install right over your current
Stacker config with no problems. The only drawback is that Stacker for OS/2 is
a bit pricey, like $140 or so. There may be an upgrade price for current
Stacker owners, but I'm not sure.
Just to keep this mesage on topic <g>, be sure your CD-ROM drive is supported
by OS/2 first. You can still install it and run it if it's not, but you'll only
be able to access your CD-ROM drive from a VDM (Virtual Dos Machine).
Hope this helps!

Joe,
Sorry about the lack of info in the list-- we're just concerned about
FREQ'ers phone bills. There is a file available for FREQing called
"descript.zip" with more in-depth descriptions of about 800 titles.
As far as BBS readiness goes, Terry Blount's Cream of the Crop is the most
adaptable and compatible disc I've seen. We've gotten nothing but
compliments about its ease of conversion. Many shareware discs' BBS
readiness depends on the system you're running.
It'd take quite a long post to describe each one. If you didn't get
"descript.zip", you may want to try it. If you're still in the dark, feel
free to give us a voice call at (216) 296-4446.
By the way, if you do call, ask for Joe. He knows all the good stuff-- I'm

Thanks. Hope to hear from you.

Patrick,
I've also got a CD from this company, and am having troubles with it.
First of all, the install ASSUMES you're installing to the C: drive. If
this isn't the case, you need to edit the GO.BAT file. ALso on my CD
there is a file called TROUBLE.TXT, which mentions possible problems
with Local Bus machines, and specifically, Cirrus chipset cards. It
says to send back the card, telling them that you are using the Cirrus
chipset, and they will send you updated drivers.
Mine *appears* to be working OK, in that everything loads and does what
its supposed to do, but performance is not good. Its very jerky, and ANY
mouse movement interferes with the audio track. I know all of this
sounds like a possible setup problem with the sound card, but this is
the only title I'm having trouble with. My drive is a double speed
Creative Labs, using the SBPro, which benchmarks at around 304K transfer
rate (so it *should* be fine!).
Good luck with it!

John,
I'm not familiar with that exact model, but Dak/BSR was selling Sony
drives at one point, and you could run 4 off the same controller. If
this is the case, they should both work by daisy chaining them, so long
as you set the device number on each drive to something unique.
If you need to use 2 controllers, set them differently! Then, load 2
drivers in your config.sys, each reflecting the different addresses.
Then in your autoexec.bat, reference both in the MSCDEX:
MSCDEX /E /V /D:MSCD0001 /D:MSCD0002 (or whatever you referred to them
as in your config.sys file)
Hope this helps.

I am currently in the market for a CD-rom drive, and presently have an old
Sound Blaster 8 bit sound card. It has been suggested that I should buy a
Creative Labs Soundblaster Kit that has CD drive and 16 bit card for $499 or
so. This is Kinda out of my league as far as money goes. Does anyone have
any better ideas?
Does anyone have any good/bad info on the Panasonic cr562 drive. It looks good

Deborah, I have the Panasonic/Matsushita 562B drive, which I purchased
from Egghead Software in their Lasermate kit. It came with a 3.5"
diskette with the software needed for the installation you describe.
If your Lasermate kit didn't come with that disk, then your kit is
incomplete.
If you still need the software, I can zip up the disk and make it
available for you to FREQ from me, if you have that capability. It
comes with an INSTALL program that makes installation a 30-second

I felt the opposite! It took me a little over a week to finish them
all! No "auto-solves" with the clue book, either. In fact I used it
fore only 1 clue, the bottles, but figured it just ruined the game.
I spent maybe less than 20 playing hours, about 3 looking for the next
to last puzzle. I had solved the 2 floors & dungeon in 6 days, spent
2-3 days looking EVERYWHERE for something to do. Got lucky when I 3
went to the front door... After that, I was totally done in less than an
hour.
I was also very p/oed that the 2nd disk only has 1 puzzle! But a bunch

Via SLMAIL v3.0 (#1144)I have recently installed a Creative Labs CD-Rom drive,
connected to mySound Blaster Pro board.The drive was supplied with a Windows
App named Quick CD - for playingmusic CDs. There is a button on the Quick CD
window for accessing themixer application. However, when I click this button,
a windows dialoginforms me that the mixer application cannot be found - check
that it isinstalled, and in the path.The only mixer application I have is that
which was suppllied with mySound Blaster Pro two years ago - SBP-MIX.EXE (for
windows). Can anyonetell me the filename which QuickCD is expecting to load?
Is there a newmixer supplied by SB-16 sound cards?Cheers.Bevan-=- Blue Wave/QWK

DS>What is the standard speed today for CD-Rom drives? 320 ms? 300? DS>
DS>Hasta la Bye-Bye, DS>David. You are getting speed confused with seek time.
300ms is about standard for seek time (the time for the CD head to find the
correct place on the disk) but the sustained transfer rate is used to measure
the data transfer speed. This is measured in Kilobytes per second. A typical
double-speed CD-ROM transfers at about 300Kb/s. Older single-speed drives
transfer at 150Kb/s. DF --- WinQwk 2.0 #0 Unregistered Evaluation Copy

One other trick for the Phillips CD-ROM: try using the line
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\DD260.SYS /F:1
The /F:1 switch compensates for intereference between the
CD-ROM itself, and the sound card. I needed this switch to get the
CD to work with my Soundblaster Pro. Give it a go. (You will also
need the other switches as well but I haven't included those here)

Simple, you're using either EMM386.EXE or QEMM386 (or similar mem managers)
which use protected mode to maximize availiable memory. Simply run a blank boot
without such devide drivers (you can still have HIMEM.SYS) and it should work.

Sorry to butt in, but in your most nice and polite way you're simply trying to
shove moralist crap down the guy's throat. There are many people out there who
have the same opinion as you, but at least they keep it to themselves. Freedom
of expression is a valuable right, don't kick it around. Once you start saying
"freedom yes but not for this and that," it is not freedom anymore. Your
freedom of expression only goes as far as not to limit someone else's freedom.
I respect your ideology, and I respect that of those who approve of adult
entertainment, but I try to keep neutral as far as I can. Do the same, I don't
think your comment made the guy's day, so if you want to moralize do it in
church or with people like you. This is a tech discussion group, we're not
talking morals nor do we want to. Thanks.
Please don't hang me moderator, I'll go back on topic!

Actually, Dave, it isn't mispelled at all. This is the Canadian way of
spelling it. We also spell some other words a little differently than
you do, for example: neighbour instead of neighbor, colour rather than
color, and there are plenty more. These words go back to our British
and French heritage, kind of adding a little spice to the English
language.
Later.

I agree. Most of the people that have replied to this say
about the same thing. It seems that of all the metals to use,
aluminum would be about the worst choice. (Nothing oxidizes quite
as fast!)
If Kodak is really trying to make something to archive your
pictures, you think they would use the gold plated disks. They
cost more, but if you're thinking of really long term storage,
they seem the way to go.
If nothing else, I think Kodak should offer them as an
option. If you want to pay the additional cost for long life,
that should be up to you. I know that I have SOME pictures that I
would pay the extra charge to have placed on gold.

Hello all. Has anybody have or seen this new PCMCIA SCSI card from
Adaptec? How fast of a data thoughtput can this thing pump into a
notebook? Which version of PCMCIA is the card? This is the same company
that makes the MiniSCSI that works on your parallel port, but that isn't
fast enough for a double speed CD-ROM. I'd like to someday have a real
external SCSI CD reader that I could use for both the desktop, and a
notebook. Until notebook makers start putting SCSI hard drives in their
systems (like a Powerbook), we'll have to put up with this kind of
stuff.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I know that High Sierra is the
CD-ROM format which practically all CD-ROMs support. The impression I
get is when you type DIR, you get a "raw" list of the files, probably
what MSCDEX uses to show a "normal" directory list. No ideas YET.
SB>I tried three differt cards Sumo's AT Scsi, Futu Domain, and APTEC
>1520.
Are these are SCSI cards? Panasonic's (at least all the one's I've
seen) are non-SCSI. They use the port on a sound card. I believe
the port on the cards is a perprietory-SCSI port, but lately some
people have said the port is an IDE port.
According to my box, the following sound cards work:
Sound Blaster Pro
Sound Blaster Pro 2 (what I use. The Pro 2 is a newer version)
Sound Blaster 16
Sound Blaster 16 ASP
Reveal's Sound FX Plus
Reveal's Studio 16
SB>All cards find the CD Rom fine, but can not read it.
Here's a blatant guess:
The panasonic CD-ROM probably requires a PERPRIETORY scsi port on a
sound card. Since it is somewhat SCSI, that might explain why the card
can find the CD-ROM, but can't use it.
SB>I used the FDCD.SYS from Future Domain, and used the APTEC APSICD.SYS
>on the APTEC. Is there a differnt Driver that I need or is the CD ROM
>bad itself. Its only a Year old. Can you shed some light.
Since IBMs vary so much, here's another SEMI-guess:
Most likely, you have been trying to use a SCSI card. Those drivers are
just for the interface card itself, not the CD-ROM. I believe that
normally you don't need additional drivers for the SCSI devices plugged
into the card.
However,
Since your CD-ROM probably requires a sound card port, you'll probably
have to buy a sound card, if you don't have one yet. For my setup, I
load the driver SB563.SYS from my CONFIG.SYS. I then have to load
MSCDEX.EXE in my autoexec.bat.
If you have a driver similar to this, try it. My driver supports 56?
CD-ROM drives, and is version 4.0. My MSCDEX is version 2.23. MSCDEX
supports both High Sierra and ISO 9660. I thought I'd let you know,
that way if you do have them, you can find out now old (or new) the
drivers are.
I hope this helps. If you need more help, feel free to ask. Giving
more details can also help. (Like model # of your CD-ROM.) The ideas
I've listed are mentioned as guesses, so that if I'm slightly off on one
part of this letter, I get 2 corrections from other fido-people, instead
of 4. Because of the hundreds of brands of PCs, its hard to hit the
bull's eye for everyone.
Again, I hope this helps, and feel free to write back.

A friend of mine had a very similar problem with the Software ToolWorks
(DOS) version encyclopedia. He would boot the CD and after seeing the
Title Screen of the encyclopedia it would lock up and display some error
message when he clicked the mouse to go on. After trying many things it
turned out it was his mouse driver causing the problem. Don't have any
idea what driver he was using or what new driver fixed the problem, but
if you can obtain another driver easily you might try that.

I got this game for Christmas and had to pretend I appreciated
it. I was like, "UGh...Windows game." I installed it on my
486DX33VLB/8RAM/24bitVID in it's 65536 color mode and I was absolutely
AMAZED. The video is groovy color and runs just as smooth in 256 color
as 65536 color (and I DO mean smooth) and it's a lot of fun. It's NOT a
VR game, it's an interactive movie.
My only complaint is that it was far too easy, but I still go
through and play it quite a bit...it just looks so GOOD!@

Sounds like one of your drivers has a problem and upgrading to mscdex

OK Hall I don't know if you've received an answer to all of your questions as
yet but I can help you with the sound card problem. I have the same drive and
sound card. The problem is that the soundblaster deluxe card and cd rom have
different pin connections so you must re-wire one end of th sound cable. Thi
can be done quite easily with a straight pin by pushing in on the small plastic
tabs on the cable connector and removing the wire from the connector. The
connections are as follows: cd rom: pin 1 rt channel, pin 2 ground, pin 3 lft
channel, pin 4 ground. Sound card: pin 1 ground, pin 2 lft channel, pin 3
ground, pin 4 rt channel. Insert one end of the cable into the female socket
on your sound card and "Bob's your uncle". Your Mitsumi FX001D and
Soundblaster deluxe should work just fine. Good luck!

Hi guys,
I'm gonna have to pick a nit here. It's a little one, but important.
AC (alternating current), by defination alternates between a + voltage level
and a - voltage level, in refference to ground.
In the context of the power we get from the wall plug, the voltage varies
in a sign wave from a 0 voltage point to a max + voltage point, back to 0 to
a max - voltage point and back to 0, 60 times per second.
IE: 60 cycle AC power.
The voltage can vary all over the place but if it doesn't cross the 0 point to
the other polarity, then it's just dirty, (unfiltered) Direct Current. Or maybe
a signal imposed on a DC carrier, that is if you did it on purpose. (;
This is an awfully simplistic answer and it can get very complicated, very
quickly. But that's another discussion.

Hello, I was kinda disappointed too when I got no drivers... I found an
older driver that seems to work, but the Adaptec drivers didn't support the
Triple spin in some of my programs... It would do a sort of lock up for
about a sec and switch between 3x and 1x... Hope they come out with the
drivers soon and if you get them leave me mail and tell me where to get
them so I can FREQ them...

According to what he says, I think he is wrong because I had the same
deal! The only way you can fix this is if your CDrom drive uses a .SYS
type driver in the config.sys and something in the autoexec.bat, it
actually start assigning drive letters in the config.sys, so just put
ramdrive before or after the cdrom driver if thats were ya want it, Let
me know if this works, I know it works on mine and a few friends
machines! You shouldn't have that much problem?

JF>Can anyone help - once WIN nT is installed I lose my CD-ROM
>I'd be pleased if anyone knows the solution.
What CD drive do you have?
I think you installed Win NT using the installation for NON-supported
CD-ROMs. It works in that you load the install program in DOS from the
CD. Then, once Nt is loaded, your CD is no longer supported.
If the CD-ROM is a SCSI drive, you need to load the appropriate driver
for your SCSI interface. Windows NT comes with a collection of drivers.
Windows NT supports the following non, or semi-SCSI drives:
Panasonic CR-52x family of CD-ROMs
Panasonic CR-56x family of CD-ROMs
Sony - CDU-31A
Not many supported yet. Problem is, if your lucky enough to have one of
these, the drivers are located on the CD!
I guess you'd have to load DOS either by using the dual boot, or load
DOS from a floppy. You then copy the files in the appropriate
directory to a floppy. They're located in the DRVLIB\STORAGE\
directory. You then load Windows NT, and load the driver as a SCSI
device.
If this doesn't get to far of this echo's theme, how do you like Windows
NT? I have a Windows NT, 486-33DX, 16 megs RAM, 420 megs Hard Disk. I
just don't know if I should load Windows NT or not. My CD-ROM is
supported (CR-563-B), so that wouldn't be a problem.
I hope this helps.

Try turning up the Sound Blaster's card. The card also has internal
volume settings. There should be a program called SBP-SET which you can
use to change the volume. There is also a TSR called SBP-MIX, but I
like SBP-SET better.
I have a Sound Blaster Pro 2, and in my AUTOEXEC.BAT, I have:

You will have to reformat. If you plan on using disk compression you will need
Stacker for OS/2 (not recomended). You will also need more than 4 megs of RAM,
6 is good but 8 is better, 12 to 16 is perfect.

If you have the Sony model CDU-31A that is packed with most Gateway 2000

I agree. Most of the people that have replied to this say
about the same thing. It seems that of all the metals to use,
aluminum would be about the worst choice. (Nothing oxidizes quite
as fast!)
If Kodak is really trying to make something to archive your
pictures, you think they would use the gold plated disks. They
cost more, but if you're thinking of really long term storage,
they seem the way to go.
If nothing else, I think Kodak should offer them as an
option. If you want to pay the additional cost for long life,
that should be up to you. I know that I have SOME pictures that I
would pay the extra charge to have placed on gold.

Thanks for the ffedback. However, my mouse is compatible in all ways and I
have to use it for the many programs I have. I have never had this problem
before with any program. Given that the mouse works with the pop-up menu
(which shows the message "MISSING REFERENCE FILE") by cancelling the popup
window, the mouse is obviously talking to the program.
I'll stick at it but I seriously think the disk is faulty.

BF> True - but since MINIcomputers first started going 32 bit in that SAME

I disagree. After all, the reasons why a mini should be at least 32
bit are just as valid for a micro, especially when developers, like myself,
wanted to develop software across platforms. 'Now look at the mess we are
in...
BF> Also, a 64K address space for a micro in 1980 WAS reasonable - barely.
A 64K address field was reasonable, a 64K address space was not, at
least not for anyone who had any thought whatsoever for the future (I predicted
there would be portable IBM 360 equivalents in 1976), or as already mentioned,
anyone who wanted to develop across platforms.
BF> Also, address + offset type stuff was WELL known by that time, and could
BF> easily handle 32 bit address calculations - it's Intel's FIXED "address"
BF> incrament segmentation that's such a pain....
Sure. Offsets and string manipulations were absolutely mandatory in
the days when mainframes and minis only had 64K (or even less), and I have
worked on several such machines. That does not mean that I did not jump for
joy when large, flat address spaces were developed, or that I consider it
advisable to develop a machine without that advantage, once the technology is
available.
BF> 8 bit data path, 20 bit addressing. There has NEVER been
BF> a real requirement
BF> for the data path and address path to be the same size in microcomputers.
Nor in mainframes, for that matter. I have no great problems with
developing an 8 bit data path machine, since that only affects performance, not
programming. It is the address form that dictates programming practices.
BF> Minis were just STARTING to do 32 bits - VAX 11/780 and
BF> 11/750 were the ENTIRE
BF> LIST 'till late '80.
True. But PC's were an emerging technology: they should have been
treated as such. Instead, they were treated as toys, and they WERE toys, until
the introduction of the 32 bit Intel and Motorola processors.
BF> Most MAINFRAMES were still 32 bit at that time.
Their address spaces certainly were, as no one had the money for 4G of
memory. However, they were staring to use up to 128 bit words, especially for
Array Processors.

I agree. Most of the people that have replied to this say
about the same thing. It seems that of all the metals to use,
aluminum would be about the worst choice. (Nothing oxidizes quite
as fast!)
If Kodak is really trying to make something to archive your
pictures, you think they would use the gold plated disks. They
cost more, but if you're thinking of really long term storage,
they seem the way to go.
If nothing else, I think Kodak should offer them as an
option. If you want to pay the additional cost for long life,
that should be up to you. I know that I have SOME pictures that I
would pay the extra charge to have placed on gold.

The following is from a file I was sent from Joe Rinehart of Config Sys.
===============================================================================
File and location information include:
The files in question are: SF2_UP.ZIP located in the 020a directory,
and SPORT21C.ZIP located in the 037a directory.
NOTES INCLUDE:
No special notes are offered for the SF2-UP.EXE FILE. McAffe's scan
9.19 v.108 detected it before installation.
The Sport21c.zip was of considerable interest to us. After we
unarchived the file to our RAM drive and ran McAffe's 9.19 v.108 scan, the
virus was not detected. The initial scan report follows:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 18:34
Options: e:\*.* /m /chkhi /bell /report c:\scan.rpt
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
Directory E:\ contains 4 files.
No viruses found.
However, when we ran the install program it did copy 2 files to our C:\DOS\DIR
file (since we do not have a C:DOS directory) that was 11407 bytes in size.
This file went undetected by scan 9.19 v.108. Then we created a bogus C:\DOS
& decided to run the install again the following day in our research. Upon
running the install program the first screen had this wording within an ansi
box:
{start of ansi box}
This file passed preliminary file integrity & virus detection checks!
Known BBS ad files have been removed to reduce transfer time & cost.
{end of ansi box}

Do you want to extract these file now (y/n)
We ran scan at this screen and there were no detections. However, when we
answered yes.... We ran scan again. This time it did copy a file to our
bogus C:\DOS directory and copied 1 noninfected file named sport21c.exe.
When scan checked our RAM drive, it created this report:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 19:01
Options: C:\*.* E:\*.* /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: 105 TOSHIBA

Scanning E:\INSTALL.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Scanning E:\DOCUMENT.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Scanning E:\SPORTS.COM
Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
Found 3 files containing viruses.
At this point, the research involving our systems ends. We decided
not to view the destructive nature of the viruses first-hand.
We wish to express our observation that we do totally understand how
these viruses got on the cd-disc, due to their either being new or
undetectable until installation. We do not judge the publisher in this case,
since we actually had to install the butterfly on our system, since scannning
did not detect it. From what we've learned in our research the publisher
takes extensive measures by scanning with several respectable programs. In
the butterfly case, no sysop or user would have detected this virus until
after the potential destruction occurs.
Copies are being sent to McAffee for confirmation that these are
indeed viruses. Further confirmation or information will be announced.
It was suggested by Ian Singer (a Canadian dealer) that a possible
echo be created that would create a forum between publishers and dealers to
assist in the research of problems like this & otherwise better the
relationships between the two. We are in agreement since it would be a
direct exchange of information, possibly before a false panic should be
created.
The basic scan report follows:
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/8 18:04
Options: E:\sf2-up.exe /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
Scanning E:\SF2-UP.EXE
Found the Memory Lapse [ML] Virus
Found 1 file containing a virus.
SCAN 9.19 V108 1993/11/7 01:03
Options: E:*.* /BELL /CHKHI /DATE /M /REPORT C:\SCAN.RPT /SUB
Scanning Volume: MS-RAMDRIVE
>Scanning E:.\INSTALL.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
>Scanning E:.\DOCUMENT.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
>Scanning E:.\SPORTS.COM
> Found the Butterfly [Bfly] Virus
> Found 3 files containing viruses.
We do not recommend that anyone try expermenting, unless they take
precautions like using a system that is not used in daily activities.
Anyone interested in discussing information on new developments in
regard to the Night Owl 10 virus investigation, may contact me.

Well, if you like text adventure types, you could try Indiana Jones and the

I'd suggest the purchase of OS\2 for Windows on CD-ROM. If the drive you
are using runs from a SB card, you'll be fine, as there are drivers (.ADD)
with the later SB packages or elsewhere that allow you to run your CD with
OS\2. The OS\2 CD package is about 50 bucks less than the one with the
built-in WIN code. This package accesses the REAL WIN 3.1, if installed
on your system. If not accessible (right now) from OS\2, you can boot
from DOS, run the CD, and extract about 15 disks-worth of installation
software, install in, and go from there. Then hope for locating the .ADD
file needed for your CD-ROM.

RP>The major drawback to parallel port drives (I've just read) is speed.
Depending on your parallel port, you could use a Trantor
parallel-to-SCSI cable and get quite good results. I have a
bidirectional parallel port, so I use the MiniSCSI Plus with a Pioneer
602X, which is the 2x version of the 4x 6-changer. My throughput is
204kb/s at about 35% CPU. It's acceptible for a lot of things, including
Rebel Assault and Zork. Zork can hesitate slightly in the busier bits.
It will also play AVIs and QTs from ROM with unbroken sound.
If you have an enhanced parallel port, the Trantor EPP will just about
triple the throughput.
You have to be careful that any CDROM you buy supports Termpower on pin
38, since the cable uses that to power itself.

Matt,
Thanks. I should have gave more detail. Panasonic tells me
that the CDMKE.SYS should work. I am now trying to locate this driver.
Also I will get the sound Blaster Pro board to see is this also works.
Besides I need one any way. I bought the CD second hand, with no manuel
or drivers, jest a bare drive. once I get the SB card I will write back
and ask for specs on setting the cd-rom up if I need help. Thanks for

Try this,
Go to you QTW.INI file in your Windows directory. After your last line, leave a
blank line and add this after your blank line:

That should help with the problem. You may need to get an updated video driver
to make the Audio and Video sync properly all the time.

How to keep your name out of those thangs:
Make sure that when you're buying your phone service, you request that your
name be removed from the REVERSE PHONE DIRECTORY - this is the one they give to
the bizness salespeople, and it has the adresses and phone numbers on it in
order by your adress - so they can find find, like classy neighborhoods and
such...
As for takeing your name out of the normal phone book, I dunno about that,but
as far as I know that shouldn't make a diffenrence, at least for my phone
service... besides, that usually costs $$$ :(

By doing that you lose the fun of the game. Yes It took a while, but
its doable.
Hint: don't give up in the middle of a game, it changes rapidly as the
squares fill.
1 hint, leave a corner under your control empty, hell jump from his spot
changing 3 of yours, but the hole he leaves can get you 6!

Couple hints:
Don't give up and start over in the middle of a game. Things change a

Also, I left a corner empty, he jumped from a spot at the end of the

You'll need the drivers as stated previously (SBCD2.ADD), then follow the
instructions contained therein to create an OS/2 install disk with Panasonic
CD-ROM support.

How does this work? Single cassette for 18 CDs (ie large version of the 604X),

First, try using lower case; it's easier to read that way.
Secondly, SBCD.SYS from 4.12 onwards will not work with the Panasonic 562b;
those previous to the 4.12 have been reported to work. Use the CDMKE.SYS that
come with the Panasonic drives.

NO ! that is your only choice, that is if you WANT your SBPro to CONTROL the
CDROM. You can of course use any other CDROM in your machine if you have a
seperate controller installed for that drive, prob not a good thing in your
case, more better to get the Panasonic drive and plug it into your SBPro.

Boris,
I talked to you not long ago and purchased four CDs. They were two of the
recent bundled packages that you have: the Technotools/Tech Arsenal and the
Pier 3/Cream Of The Crop II packages. I have no problems with the shareware
combo, both CDs are what I expected; recent shareware in a well-organized
format, with little duplication. The 'tech' package, however, is not what I
expected - especially after explicitly asking you about those two CDs.
When I talked to you on the phone, you simply dismissed my question about
duplication by saying that it didn't apply; the CDs were entirely different
in content. Odd, when even a casual glance at the disc packaging indicates
otherwise, and actually looking at the allfiles lists for more than five
seconds shows horrible redundancy.
The Tech Arsenal disc is excellent; the Technotools disc, on the other hand,
contains MANY of the same files as Arsenal... and they're older versions, at
that. For example, Tech Arsenal has DOSREF23, while Technotools has the
relatively ancient DOSREF17 and DOSREF18.
And, of course, since Technotools contains all of its files in both
uncompressed and compressed format, it has FAR fewer files than Arsenal.
All in all, it's old, poorly organized, redundant, and wastes an amazing
amount of space. The only purpose I can see in a Technotools/Tech Arsenal
package is the elimination of old Technotools stock.
I don't intend to return the Technotools CD; it would be far more effort
than it's worth. I'm posting this so that you can correct a situation that
(...I assume) you're unaware of, and save other potential buyers the waste
of money that I incurred. Sure, it's not a lot of money, but it's just
such a complete and thorough waste that it -is- disturbing to me.
Thank you.

I have a Panasonic 563. And when I run Kings Quest 6, I would also have
the same problem. One way to eliminate the problem is make a boot disk
to load your game with no extra unnecessary drivers loaded to play the
game. That worked for me. Most of the time, the game needs more memory.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello,
I can't seem to get The 7th Guest to work with my video card. The
video card's company name is RealTek. This video card is supposed to
have SVGA (required by the game) but I have my doubts. When I start up
the game all the characters previously on the screen get very dim but
do not clear entirely. The music is playing but nothing else comes up
on my monitor. I know the video card I have is my problem because I've
tried a friend's SVGA video card and the game worked fine. I've tried
the universal vesa driver called UNIVESA.ZIP but that didn't work. I
have a number of the RealTek company but I think it is a fax number in
Japan (Japan?...yes Japan). What I need is one of the following to solve
this problem:
1. A better number (preferably a voice or fax number in the U.S.A)
for the RealTek company so I can get the neccesary software
drivers from them.
2. Someone to show me how to properly use the UNIVESA.ZIP program.
The program recognized my video card and said it installed the
neccesary SVGA driver but when I went to run T7G, the same
problem happened.
3. Someone with a RealTek video card to send me the SVGA drivers if
they have them.
4. What would be really great is if someone had the same problem
that I did with any video card and then tell me how they fixed
it.
Any enlightenment to this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks again.

Ola gALLera,
Acabei de chegar dos EUA e la' comprei um PROFESSIONAL CD SOUND SET
da Easy OPTIONS by IBM , eu o testei la' (montei um computador e o
instalei ) e ele funcionou muito bem.
O problema e' que ao chegar no Brasil , eu o instalei e a placa de
som funcionou muito bem , so' que o CD-ROM aceita os CDs e parace
funcionar bem so' que toda vez que tento rodar algo como pedir um
DIR , ou mesmo instalar um CD ele vem com a mensagem:
CDR101 Not ready reading drive D
Abort , Retry , Fail ?
Estou desesperado,se alguem tiver alguma ideia me deixe uma
msg.
Houvi dizer que minha placa de video ( Trident 1 MB ) pode gerar
incompatibilidades com o CD-ROM . Nao sei se e' verdade.
Agradeco previamente ,
Andre' Reis Sakaya

True, BUT:
1) The "inch-foot-mile-etc." system originated in England.
2) The Metric System originated in France.
To the original poster - 2.5mm is a very close approximation to 1/10'th inch -
3.5 mm is the Metric equivilent to a 1/8'th inch plug/jack.

The Speed cache in Norton 7.0 will not cache cd-roms. The upgrade Speed
Cache Plus (Symentic) will and works very well. I have to say though
that I don't see any real difference when I cache my CD-ROM or not. I
run Coral Draw and 7th Guest and Groilers etc. I saw a real difference
when I upgraded my M/B to a 486 though.

My PROBLEM is repetitive puzzles that have no relation to
the plot or story line. The difficulty level of the puzzles

By _good quality sound_, do you mean music?
If you DO mean music, you'd be much better off buying a
CD player for your hi-fi set. Though music CD's will play
on a computer CD drive, that's not the real purpose of CD-ROM
drive in multimedia.
Single speed will lock you into a very limited group of CD's. If you
want to use CD's for research, games, publishing, etc. somewhere
down the line, you'll need at least a double spin.
Go for SB16 AST.

I have a Sound Blaster 16 ASP (one of the first one's out, which means that its
not the Muti-CD, SCSI-2, Basic, etc. version.) I also own a Misumi 2X speed
CD-ROM drive. I was wondering if I could plug the cable from my CD-ROM drive
into my SB16? Right now I am using the interface card that came with it. (I
already owned the SB16, but I bought a Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V back in August
which came with a 2X speed CD-ROM.)

Goodness, maybe I better put off that sound card upgrade until
I do some more research. What do you suggest? I want a good
card for gaming (GUS?) but more than anything need my card to
be 100% Sound Blaster compatable as I run a lot of MPC and multi-
media applications.
I've heard the GUS can't emulate the SB
very well. That's one think about buying an SB--you know it's
going to be SB compatiable.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I recently bought a double spin from a mail order company that I will
not name, and discovered that they had bundle a 8-bit card instead of
the 16-bit. This makes a big differance in performance and the irqs
can and will screw up your system. So if you have or are going to
order the Mitsumi fx001d make sur they include the MITSUMI 16-bit card.
This card that I received was a three in one card that worked with
the Sony, Mitsumi, and Panasonic drives. The name printed on the card
was golden sound (which is far from the truth).
So what I'm saying is buyer beware. The dealer who sold me this is
going to send a new 16-bit card and they said this has happened to
about 50-100 people that they are aware of. If you do get a bad card
don't be afraid to say something to the dealer. You do have the right
to speak up.

You might have a problem here. The minimum requirement, according to the

Subj: My First Time DOESN'T WORK ! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi All,
I've just purchased the CD Set "My 1st Time" & I am having considerable
difficulty getting it to load correctly.
I have followed the installation instructions given in the booklet
supplied in the CD Jacket as well as the 2.BAT text files all to no avail. I
have to say at this point that I think that these instructions are extremely
vague & misleading ! For example the program requires around 585 K of Low
memory & it suggests freeing more mmeory by modifying their CONFIG & AUTOEXEC
files by loading their drivers high into the UMB (i.e;LH for Autoexec files,
DEVICEHIGH for config files), but says that to do this the only lines that need
to be added to the config file are as follows;
C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH
C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM FRAME=E000
But this is wrong if you want to place the drivers into the UMB & should read;
C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM FRAME=E000
Anyway I've corrected this in my config file & added on the absolute minimum
requirements I believe are needed in my system files for the disc(s) to run
correctly. My system consists of a 486 DX with 4 MB RAM (640 K Base 3072 K
Expanded), SVGA Monitor using a AVGA3 JAX8228 Graphics adapter employ -ing a
Cirrus Logic GD5422 chip, Double Speed CD-ROM Panasonic CR-562-B,Sound Blaster
16ASP card, DOS vers 5.00, MS Compatible mouse.
With my system files as follows (see below) the program (1.bat) appears to work
fine (Files are installed to my harddisc, Test tones are heard from my Sound
Card) & it tells me to type GO.BAT to run the program. Alas all I get when I
do type GO.BAT is the END.TXT screen advising me to press any key to continue.
When I press a key all it does is return me to dos. By the way with the below
system settings mem/c shows 610 k free in the low memory area. So what else
could be wrong ? I've looked at such things as Interupt conflicts (I've run
similar Video CDs without any hassles !),Insufficient Memory & tried installing
the various VESA drivers supplied in the D:\DRIVERS directory (There isn't one
for the Cirrus chip !) all to no avail:
AUTOEXEC.BAT
------------
LH C:\SB16\DRV\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /E
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
MOUSE/2
@ECHO OFF
PROMPT $p$g
CONFIG.SYS
----------
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE 2048 RAM FRAME=E000
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\ASP.SYS /P:220
DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB16\DRV\SBCD.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:220
So has anyone got any suggestions, besides returning it to my supplier for a
game instead ! I would be most appreciative for any assistance...
Thanks,
Patrick.
PS: Could anyone explain to me what the various switches do in MSCDEX,as it
doesn't have any help data attatched to it ?

What FOCAL POINT 3D sound for DOOM??? I've got a GUS running under DOOM

Maybe people who spend most of their time playing computer games
might think that Rebel Assault is a "graphics demo", but I am
happy with it! Imagine playing part in the Star Wars movie as
Rookie One! You get to fly your x-wing on various missions, most
of which are quite realistic. It is true that some scenes expect
you to control your craft from outside and behind, which doesn't
seem too natural, and in other scenes you have little control
over your flight path, but overall the game gives an excellent
feel of the original movie, including many video scenes.
Buy it, I'm sure you will enjoy it, especially when you find out
the code to eliminate damage to your craft at the push of a button!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Last month I was looking for a CDROM drive but was unsure which one to get or
what kind of interface I needed. A couple of you replied to my request for
some suggestions on which way to go which helped me out. I decided to take a
chance and buy a bare Chinon CDS535 and scsi/audio cable kit and plug it into
the 50 pin scsi port on my ProAudio Spectrum 16 sound card. The PAS users
manual described step by step how to install it and how to connect the cables.
It was suggested that I call the MediaVision BBS and download the drivers
needed to run it, which I did. The PAS user's manual also described where to
put the drivers, mscdex.exe goes in the autoexec.bat file and the tslcdr.sys
driver goes in the config.sys file. The manual explained the use of the
various parameters for the two drivers and when to use them. I'm glad to say
everything seems to be working fine, at least as far as running software off
the drive, I haven't tried any audio cds' or photo cds' but I'll cross that
bridge when I come to it.

Oh yes, I spread rumors whenever I see ONE message on a topic. It's funny how
there aren't hundreds of unsubstantiated rumors I've started seeing as there
are plenty started by just one person. I should have picked up on them.
The next question is to name these people right? Get serious. I don't intend
to go back through all the old messages just to prove I'm right. If you want to
think there was only ONE other person that found a 3rd virus on Night Owl, then
fine, there was only one other person. I thought this topic was dropped over a
month ago but I guess some people just can't let it die.
Yes, I'm just as guilty for not letting it drop by replying. There are some
things that I just can't let slip by and when someone is accusing me of either
starting or substantiating rumors, then I feel I need to say something. You
obviously haven't been following the N.O. 10 virus for very long or you
wouldn't have said what you did.
Harping on me won't change the facts so please let the subject drop.

Ah HAAAAA! You cheated. You know how to play the piano.
Sadly, I don't. But I play a mean multiple CD music player.
The slime globs seem, by consensus, to be the toughest puzzle.
Best hint I've got is to imitate the moves of the green globs.
Be careful about leaving a "pocket" open w/ blue globs on three
sides of an empty socket.
Saw another notice in this conference that the micro puzzle was
not solvable; it had a bug. But, I did get it after a few martinis.
Problem is, now I don't remember what I did.
Saw another comment that says the globs are a copy of another
puzzle that came out on shareware, but I don't remember what the
puzzle name is. I have a shareware game about 3 years old that has
99 board puzzles (from Australia). It's a good game(s) and some of
the 7th G. puzzles are like puzzles in the this other game. My share-
ware game is called _mazecube.zip_, but I don't know if that's the
name it always shows up under.
Hope you have a blast gobbling globs of gooey green.

I disagree. After all, the reasons why a mini should be at least 32
bit are just as valid for a micro, especially when developers, like myself,
wanted to develop software across platforms. 'Now look at the mess we are
in...
BF> Also, a 64K address space for a micro in 1980 WAS reasonable - barely.
A 64K address field was reasonable, a 64K address space was not, at
least not for anyone who had any thought whatsoever for the future (I predicted
there would be portable IBM 360 equivalents in 1976), or as already mentioned,
anyone who wanted to develop across platforms.
BF> Also, address + offset type stuff was WELL known by that time, and could

Sure. Offsets and string manipulations were absolutely mandatory in
the days when mainframes and minis only had 64K (or even less), and I have
worked on several such machines. That does not mean that I did not jump for
joy when large, flat address spaces were developed, or that I consider it
advisable to develop a machine without that advantage, once the technology is
available.
BF> 8 bit data path, 20 bit addressing. There has NEVER been

BF> for the data path and address path to be the same size in microcomputers.
Nor in mainframes, for that matter. I have no great problems with
developing an 8 bit data path machine, since that only affects performance, not
programming. It is the address form that dictates programming practices.
BF> Minis were just STARTING to do 32 bits - VAX 11/780 and
BF> 11/750 were the ENTIRE
BF> LIST 'till late '80.
True. But PC's were an emerging technology: they should have been
treated as such. Instead, they were treated as toys, and they WERE toys, until
the introduction of the 32 bit Intel and Motorola processors.
BF> Most MAINFRAMES were still 32 bit at that time.
Their address spaces certainly were, as no one had the money for 4G of
memory. However, they were staring to use up to 128 bit words, especially for
Array Processors.

I agree. Most of the people that have replied to this say
about the same thing. It seems that of all the metals to use,
aluminum would be about the worst choice. (Nothing oxidizes quite
as fast!)
If Kodak is really trying to make something to archive your
pictures, you think they would use the gold plated disks. They
cost more, but if you're thinking of really long term storage,
they seem the way to go.
If nothing else, I think Kodak should offer them as an
option. If you want to pay the additional cost for long life,
that should be up to you. I know that I have SOME pictures that I
would pay the extra charge to have placed on gold.

The MSCDEX driver in your AUTOEXEC.BAT assigns drive letters

The MTMCDS.SYS driver doesn't assign the drive letter to the CD-ROM;
it's the MSCDEX driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file that does that.
Resuffling the order in which these drivers and RAMDRIVE.SYS won't
affect drive letter assignments. It won't even help if you use the DOS
INSTALL command to load the MSCDEX ahead of RAMDRIVE.SYS in your

Yes! If you still don't get sound through the SBPro card, then you have

had to trim the tab on the SBPro end of the thin wire and force it onto
the SBPro card's connector posts. Try it both ways & see which one
works.

PW> Perry (I don't know) Whitney
Well, first of all, YOU don't transfer the pictures to the
CD. (Unless you have the VERY expensive machine to do it.) What
you do is take your negatives or slides to almost any photo store
and have them give you a 'kit' that you fill out, telling them
the sequence that you want the pictures to appear on the disk.
The cost varies, by the amount of pictures you have xfered at one
time, but the cheapest I've found is about $66 for 100 pictures.
(The disk only holds 100 pictures due to the very large format
used by Kodak.)
Talk to Fox Photo, or any other large chain. Prices may have
come down.

I tried to do the same thing, but I have figured why it won't work. Hard Drives
and Floppy Drives are configured in CMOS, and are initialized first upon the
boot of the computer. Because the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT are checked and
loaded after CMOS they don't detect the CD-ROM as a physical device because it
basically isn't hard coded. Unless you can find one of those little nifty
programs that allow you to redirect drives to different letters or even
numbers, then I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do this?

To all:
I have a phillips cdd-462 cd rom player and a trident 256k super vga
video board. I have an unusual problem with the Grammy Awards cd rom disk.
When I run the cdrom disk, it runs o'k, but I think when it starts running
the motion picture clips, I get this vertical rolling similiar to what
you would see on a tv when you adjust the verticle knob.
This disk is a Compton's New Media disk to be more specific. Someone
told me that it could be a slow transfer rate from my CD Player to the
computer. Someone else told me, it could be my video card. Any ideas?

You are just the person I have wanting to talk to. Now the problem is
if you want to talk back. <G> Anyway I have the PAS 16 and was
wondering about getting a NEC 3xi for it. I was wondering if there
were any problems with it, I gather not from your post. I was also
wondering if the SCSI adapter was able to handle the 3xi, and if you
ordered your cables from MediaVision and how long it took to get
them. I plan on getting one by March, and this info would be helpful,
since I got my PAS 16 when it first came out, and the docs for
CD-Roms were not clear about this.

Got that right, but then again, I only paid R150 (About $30) for it, which is
VERY low for CD's in South Africa.. Here the FULL Zork costs about R345 (About
$100US!!!) So I think I got what I paid for :)

Toby,
Tried to return your fax today but got an end of page error. Anyway, the
CD's you didn't receive were due to the fact that we've either stopped
carrying those titles, or they've been discontinued from the publisher.
The 7th Guest and Night Owl 9's had been on backorder, but we just recently
sent those to you. As for your original invoice, I'm sending a copy of it
to you today by Airmail.
Hope this info helps, and please don't hesitate to contact me if you need
anything else.

Because you're running emulation, ANY software which does things in a
nonstandard way may cause trouble. Basically, you'll have to find out
one by one which discs will work--it's possible none of them will, if
softPC can't handle the CD Extensions. Apple's new boards, according
to PC Magazine, WILL be able to use a Mac CD as a PC CD drive--but
they are running DOS on a real Intel processor. My guess is: Graphics
discs=ok, shareware discs=ok (but not necessarily all the software on
them), MPC titles = no way.
As I recall, softPC runs fairly slowly. Probably not fast enough to
run PC "multimedia" titles, especially since they have to tweak the
PC hardware to get it to run fast enough on PC hardware.
Try every title before giving the cash away, or get a money-back
guarantee. Or stick with Mac CD's...

forgive me if they seem a little basic, but I don't know that much about
mac's. Can you connect any printer to a mac, or does it have to be a apple
printer eg. could I connect my cannon 10ex to a mac? Does it need a special
driver, where can I get a driver from, how readily available are they for non
apple printers. All that my sister want's to be able to do is print out

Very disorganized! I was arrested in 1981 by the East Haven police.
They said they were looking all over the Country for me. It even went out

for them to come and pick me up because my car had four flat tires. I left a
forwarding address at the post office.
I didn't pay my rent in East haven and a couple of checks bounced. I got
notice that there was some registered mail at the post office but didn't pick
it up. Thats the warrent for arrest they had... bad checks.
Pagano wanted to make a deal with me on the bail... instead of being
locked up for all kinds of money... he asked for 20 dollars. I went to the
court and the Judge said get a lawyer. I was't issued a public defender and
thought that the matter was cleared up.
Well... the New Haven police followed me around with the police radio and
people at bars wondered. The police call a person who does't clear up these
problems an asshole. The Johnsons of West Haven wanted me to confront this in
1986, and proceeded to put on a little play around me. The police in the area
did the same thing as well as municipal services.
Well now its 1994 and I am in FL. (where the FBI was looking for me in
1981) Just got here in 1991. The police are listen into my home while the
Wheel of Fortune spins puzzle questions as to why I am the Johnsons Asshole.
This has been going on since I moved to West Haven CT. in 1986.
What more should I clear up?

You can do this. I know of some guys that run BBS' that are doing this. I was
told, however, that the best way to do this is to dedicate a machine to run
your Pioneer drives. That machine should be running Netware Lite 1.1. Log
that machine into your 3.12 server and set it up to publish those CD-ROM drives
as shareable drives. The 3.12 server will see them and allow its users to
access them.
If you were to attach them to your Netware server, Netware treats each platter,
i.e., 6 platters X 650 meg, as a Netware volume. Your memory overhead would
increase dramatically. I heard of one guy trying this and even with 48 meg of
ram, he was having tremendous difficulties with network speed accessing the
server.
To me, the Netware Lite idea is the best way to go. Hope this helps.

Yes, it's a BBS-on-a-disc CD-ROM, with everything in place to
install a Wildcat BBS. The disc is from 1992, so it may not be the
latest shareware version of Wildcat. I ran a Wildcat BBS for

Unfortunately for you, someone else called right after the ad went

If I understand you correctly, the machine does not understand that the
CD drive is there. That when you ask for a directory, you get the
dreaded "not ready...". You are asking if your trident video card is
incompatible with the CD.
I don't think so. If you are running under Windows, try shifting to
640x480x16. If the problem does go away, then it is with the drivers
(maybe they are old.)
It may be that your line with MSCDEX needs to be the first in your
autoexec or follows a line for Smartdrv if you are using that.
Espanol (No escribo portuges)
Dudo que ud. tiene problems con el Trident. Trata de cambiar la
resolucion a 640x480x16, si esta funccionando bajo Windows. Si el
problema desaparece, entonces es la falta de un "video driver". El BBS
microsoft tiene un grupo de ellos que se llama SVGA.EXE que ud. puede
tratar.
Es possible que la linea en su autoexec.bat que lista MSCDEX no esta la
primera, or que tiene una linea con smartdrv.exe antes de MSCDEX.
Espero que ud puede leer esto y que le ayuda. Parece un mal chiste que
todo esto pasa con una machina con el nombre "FACIL".

Hmmmm. Re: "forcing". I think I was on the rag that day.
Also, when I finished 7thG, and went on to _Return to Zork_
and _Countdown_, where the puzzles really fit the game and
the storyline, I got even more P.O.'d at 7th G. montonony.
But, you're right about the microscope.
If you _like_ chess, and get the chance to get _ChessMaster 3000_,
then do it. In addition to a wide range of variables you can
set up for playing conditions, it's got 150 "classic" games from
history, with explanations of the strategies involved in each. The
games play-out on the screen.
IMHO, It's a VERY good game.

sent him my money order, and never received my disc, even after several
mailings reminding him of the fact.
It was only $12, but it pissed me off enough to warn others. And, Mr.

I heard a rumor that Damar Enterprises is just about to release CD SourceBox,
or something like that, which is a collection of Assembly, BASIC, C and Pascal
source code. I'm one of the "lucky" ones to get a pre-release demo to "proof"

Obscenity is considered criminal by the FBI. Their two targets are limited to
children and animals. The first BB release reportedly had Tracy Lords as a
teenager, which was withdrawn from the second pressing. FAO may have some
animals which under our system of justice are considered legal to hunt and
shoot, but not legal to f*ck or photograph.
Indecency is considered legal so long as minors aren't given an excessively
easy level of exposure to it. That's where most CDs fall.

I have a Pioneer 604X up and running here and it looks (to my BBS program,

It seems confused by it - though NDW does a good job of figuring out what
is what. I've had no problems with it being anything but "gentle" to CDs

Aha, is it truly gold-plating, or just something that looks
like gold??? If it is true gold, then it is reasonable to assume
that the disk will last a VERY long time. (Gold doesn't oxidize,
which I think is one the major reasons standard CD's fail.)

Hi there All! I have one Pioneer DRM 600A for sale. I purchased this unit in
July 1993 and it's in perfect shape. This unit is ideal for a BBS.
You just assign a drive letter to each of the 6 disks and from that point the
unit just looks like 6 individual CD's.
Reason for selling: I am forking out a couple of thousand bucks to buy a new
18 disk CD-ROM player.
I will take offers on this unit until my new CD-ROM drive is shipped. Highest
offer takes the unit.
How to Reach me:
Day Voice (306) 359-3333
Evening Voice (306) 789-9080
Fax (306) 789-6614
BBS 1:140/121 (306) 789-1899
I will place the unit under my personal 30 day money back guarantee (hey, I'm
not a huge company - just another sysop like you).
All cards and cables are included. I can take Visa and MasterCard through my
company.

Mike, on the cdrom drive you can give it a switch to tell it which drive
letter to start it with and I believe (don't quote me on this) that on
ram drives you can also assign it a drive letter. Look in your cdrom
book and it should tell you what the switch is to set it for a specific
drive letter. (I set mine and forget it once I'm done, using a 6 disk
mini changer on a scsi card so it automatically sets the drive letters
for me after it finds my scsi hard drive). I still need to learn to use
a ram drive for my allfiles list so the file searches will be faster
than scanning the hard drive for the file index.

I've had my a little while now and you can set it up in several ways, I
do have my set up as different "volumes" as you called it or in my case
each disc has its own drive letter starting with e ending in j and then
reassigned by the network (I'm networked with another machine) so it
sees it as o-r then my other hard drive on the second pc is drive s.
I'll probably change it all once I install lantastic 5.0 so I'll assign
the 6 disk minichanger to just drive e and seriously thinking about
going to the new 18 disk minichanger as I just bought several cd's. I
still consider nightowl 8 as the best so far even though I haven't
looked at ver 11 or the new pier 3 which I just picked up today, may
also add cream of the crop II and probably nightowl games and something
called just modem madness? Heard it had a lot of good programs on it
too. Anyways, its very easy to set up and trouble free, and very easy on
the cd. Either that or I'll get my dealers 6 disk minichanger when he
buys the 18 disk version (which is quad speed). The 6 disk we both have
is the older 600 series (DRM-600 Single Speed). But for a bbs, its the
way to go even though I did add a 1 gig drive to hold the bbs programs
and utilities and left 900 meg just for uploads. Only problem you'll
have (and not really a problem using wcpro for wildcat) is deleting
duplicate files off the hard drive when you get a new disk (or renaming
them if you see internally there not the same but have the same file
name which is always possible with users renaming files they download
and send it back for more downloads on boards that impose ratios which I
don't). Guess I'll shut up now, hope that helps. Yes people I'm done
now.

Its not panasonic that can daisy chain, but the scsi card controller
that you can add seven devices whether they be panasonic minichangers,
scsi hard drives, scsi tape drives, etc. and they use 50 pin cables. Can
be all internal, external or combination of the two. Think of it as a
network, first and last device must have a terminator on it. So if you
have only the 6 disk minchanger (which I did at first) and the scsi
controller card (and works along with ide controller cards), then the
scsi controller card will be terminated and so will the minichanger, but
now that I've added the 1 gig drive, I've removed the terminator from
the scsi controller card and left it on the hard drive, if I add another
external 6 disk minichanger, I have to open the first minichanger and
remove the terminator from it, so on and so on as you add devices until
you have 7 total. So if you had the money, you could have a machine with
2 ide drives with ide controller and a scsi controller with 7 six disk
minichangers hooked up to it on just one machine, which is a bit much.
I guess you can tell by now, I'm completely sold on scsi as I never
realized it was so easy to set up.

FM card plays music,I have decided to get some form of Wavetable sound for
my PC.
The problem is working out what I should get.I can get a wavetable board
for my Sound Galaxy NX Pro 16 or maybe add a Gravis Ultrasound and have
both cards in my PC.The Roland Sound Canvas is pretty expensive but I
would love to have one :)
Can you have two sound cards inside without causing major conflicts?
Any suggestions?

@SUBJECT:Best New $19 SHAREWARE CDROM N
That's right a great SHAREWARE ROM
for ONLY $19.00
Big Sky Rom's newest release, TopDrawer, will ship 2/3/94.
For you who have pre ordered, you'll be the first to get one.
Yeah, I know. What kind of ROM am I getting for 19 bucks?
ANSWER
Possibly the best ROM you have to date!
This ROM is published by SysOps for the SysOp. Tiredof
compiling list and heaven knows what else to get a ROM
online?
This is the answer you have been waiting for, affordable
files at this introductory price, to show what TopDrawer
is and can do.
Files.bbs in every DIR, so simple it can be run on a test
drive of QMODEM (tm). Plus SPITFIRE (tm) files SFFILES.BBS.
And you 4DOS (tm) users will find descript.ion files.
If you're a PC-BOARD(tm) SysOp, you'll find a comprehensive
SETMEUP.exe that will install the ROM for you! (...You do
have to have it in the CD-ROM player!) grin........
All archives are compressed using pkzip (PKWARE (tm) 204G
using maximum compression.
All archives and their members have been scanned with the
latest virus scanners.
All files have file_id.diz's in them, GOOD ONE's, at that;
we added over 1,859 full descriptions when none were available
or the author thought that high ASCII looked better.
And on TOP of all that, we have made a great effort to remove
commercial files and other copyright infringements.
Now, what this means is that we set this ROM up for the BBS,
not the end user!!!!
We have, because of current legal cases and judgments within the
publishing community, removed VOC, WAVE, and MIDI sound files. The
real programs are still there; we just deleted the lawyer syndrome.
All of the GIF's are our own, no copyright infringements to worry
about. You are licensed as the ROM owner to distribute them to your
users.
There is also a feature authors DIR. That's the authors we felt
exhibited professional demeanor in program ability and distribution
ease. Plus, we have the text files that are the latest rage -- that
is, we have STEVE ROBERTS stuff, NOT Megabytes of FAQ's or other
drivel. We have taken great pains to think of the user and the SysOp.
You will find your users cruisingthrough this easy file system and
praising you for the setup (that is, if you have great users like we
do).
Both the SuperMart BBS and PC-MONTANA BBS have handicapped users,
and thought went into the files and their placement to enhance the
interface for these special individuals.
Ok, now to the brass tacks: Files -- there are 4,174;that's 624 MB +
uncompressed. Dirs - no, not 50 or 60, just 45 ; and this ROM will
interface with our first release, BIG SKY 01, so you don't have to do
a major setup all over again!
You've probably heard other SysOps saying that they're removing such &
such ROM offline because of one problem or another. We listen to these
SysOps; you are our bread and butter (low cost spread in this ROM's price).
Now, where can I get this ROM? Well, read the list and you can order
this baby on-line or by fax (24 hours) or by voice (9-8 EST Mon-Sat).

My drive is single session Photo-CD compatible. It's the older
version bundled by Creative Labs, which means it's a
Panasonic/Matsushita 56x.
DW>standards. BTW, what is AHDM?
That's AHDN, and it's referred to in the subject line - the Beatles
movie "A Hard Day's Night."
I'm going to be calling the AHDN publisher about my inability to run
the CD-ROM.

That is correct. The former has Butterfly, with the latter

Hmmm - Since he quoted *me* in his message, I'd like to know
where he got that from. I only mentioned that FUTURE1.EXE has
been *rumoured* to be infected. It is, TTBOMK, still unconfirmed
one way or the other. I took the file offline as I do not want to
take any unnecessary chances with my users.

Hi! I'm not Lothar, but I saw his original posting.
I think he wanted to cross-post his virus warning into the German CD-ROM echo
cdrom.ger after he read about the infection but unfortunately got into the
wrong echo. Lothar, post it again in cdrom.ger as your original message did
never reach this echo....

NO ! that is your only choice, that is if you WANT your SBPro to CONTROL the
CDROM. You can of course use any other CDROM in your machine if you have a
seperate controller installed for that drive, prob not a good thing in your
case, more better to get the Panasonic drive and plug it into your SBPro.

There are a LOT of folks out there that would look at YOUR statement, believe

try to do that.
I'll ignore the personal insults.

You claimed that the Panasonic drive was an IDE interface. You specifically
IMPLIED that a Panasonic could be hooked to an IDE interface by that statement.

I DID read your message. You apparently didn't bother to think about the
LOGICAL RESULTS and IMPLICATIONS of what you wrote.
>What I said was that it was an IDE-type of interface
You SAID that it "was an IDE interface" drive. The Panasonic is not IDE nor
does it particularly closely RESEMBLE IDE, other than 40-line connection.
>NOT say ANYWHERE to go plug your drive into an IDE card. That idiotic
>suggestion came from you, and only from you.
I did NOT say anything like that - I have ALWAYS specified that Panasonic
drives ARE NOT IDE, and will NOT work with an IDE controller. It is YOUR
statements that support such an idea.
>You really do like to twist things around to try to make yourself look like
you

You should take those blinders off - you keep trying to paint me with your own

Panasonic/Matsushita also makes SCSI versions of most or all of their CD-ROM
drives.

The PAS16 uses an SCSI port. By report, a couple of other VERY recent sound
cards also support SCSI. There is NO SUCH THING as an "IDE CD-ROM drive" or
"IDE CD-ROM port".
The common non-SCSI drives and ports are PROPRIATARY, in several different
versions (Mitsumi, Sony, Panasonic/Matsushita, Hitachi, among possible others).
>The panasonic CD-ROM probably requires a PERPRIETORY scsi port on a sound
card.
If it's propriatary, it is not AND CAN NOT be SCSI.

TB>Greetings All:
TB>I'm kind of curious as to how a CD changer would work. Would it look
TB>like multiple volumes to the computer or would it look like one volume
TB>with some sort of disk changing mechanism in software or hardware? Can
TB>anyone enlighten me? I'm thinking about a Pioneer. Are changers
TB>gentle to CDs?
You know, Tom, I have a Pioneer 604X changer and I don't know the
answer to your first question -- had the software done by someone
else because I'm a klutz in that sort of stuff. I'm sure you will
get an informed answer.
On the second, "gentle" question -- it really depends on your
handling of the discs more than the changer's. The Pioneer
uses a cartridge system and you have to put the "naked" discs
into and out of the cartidge. I've not found that to be a problem
at all, not quite as convenient as my other caddyless drive, but
not a problem.
There is one point. A very senior Pioneer rep I spoke to said
to be sure to use cartidges especially made for cdrom as
opposed to the slightly cheaper and more readily available ones
made for audio cds. The difference is small felt-like pads to
cushion the discs when they are replaced in the cartridge by the
machine -- presumably still spinning at quadra-speed. He said
the pads help prevent wear.
I use the felt-pad types for frequently used discs, standard
audio cartridges for others. Hope that helps. Cheers!

You have to remember that in the US, pornography is subject to *community

Therefore, what may be legal in California may be considered obscene in Kansas.

That's right a great SHAREWARE ROM
for ONLY $19.00
Big Sky Rom's newest release, TopDrawer, will ship 2/3/94.
For you who have pre ordered, you'll be the first to get one.
Yeah, I know. What kind of ROM am I getting for 19 bucks?
ANSWER
Possibly the best ROM you have to date!
This ROM is published by SysOps for the SysOp. Tired of
compiling list and heaven knows what else to get a ROM
online?
This is the answer you have been waiting for, affordable
files at this introductory price, to show what TopDrawer
is and can do.
Files.bbs in every DIR, so simple it can be run on a test
drive of QMODEM (tm). Plus SPITFIRE (tm) files SFFILES.BBS.
And you 4DOS (tm) users will find descript.ion files.
If you're a PC-BOARD(tm) SysOp, you'll find a comprehensive
SETMEUP.exe that will install the ROM for you! (...You do
have to have it in the CD-ROM player!) grin........
All archives are compressed using pkzip (PKWARE (tm) 204G
using maximum compression.
All archives and their members have been scanned with the
latest virus scanners.
All files have file_id.diz's in them, GOOD ONE's, at that;
we added over 1,859 full descriptions when none were available
or the author thought that high ASCII looked better.
And on TOP of all that, we have made a great effort to remove
commercial files and other copyright infringements.
Now, what this means is that we set this ROM up for the BBS,
not the end user!!!!
We have, because of current legal cases and judgments within the
publishing community, removed VOC, WAVE, and MIDI sound files. The
real programs are still there; we just deleted the lawyer syndrome.
All of the GIF's are our own, no copyright infringements to worry
about. You are licensed as the ROM owner to distribute them to your
users.
There is also a feature authors DIR. That's the authors we felt
exhibited professional demeanor in program ability and distribution
ease. Plus, we have the text files that are the latest rage -- that
is, we have STEVE ROBERTS stuff, NOT Megabytes of FAQ's or other
drivel. We have taken great pains to think of the user and the SysOp.
You will find your users cruising through this easy file system and
praising you for the setup (that is, if you have great users like we
do).
Both the SuperMart BBS and PC-MONTANA BBS have handicapped users,
and thought went into the files and their placement to enhance the
interface for these special individuals.
Ok, now to the brass tacks: Files -- there are 4,174;that's 624 MB +
uncompressed. Dirs -- no, not 50 or 60, just 45 ; and this ROM will
interface with our first release, BIG SKY 01, so you don't have to do
a major setup all over again!
You've probably heard other SysOps saying that they're removing such &
such ROM offline because of one problem or another. We listen to these
SysOps; you are our bread and butter (low cost spread in this ROM's price).
Now, where can I get this ROM? Well, read the list and you can order
this baby on-line or by fax (24 hours) or by voice (9-8 EST Mon-Sat).

OS/2 v2.1 works with Gateway 2000 computers, as I have it running on my Gateway
2000 486DX33. I know that the Mitsumi CD-ROM drive that is one of the two
drives that Gateway currently ships with CD-ROM equiped systems will work, but
you need to locate the OS/2 driver. The driver was not shipped with the
initial OS/2 v2.1 release (I can't speak for the OS/2 for Windows edition.)
The same *is probably* true for the Philips drive, which is the other drive
that Gateway currently ships. Both drives are supported in the Corrective
Service Pack Beta that I am currently running, but since I don't have either
drive, I can't test them for you. I have Gateway's original CD-ROM drive, made
by Sony.

2. Is a 250ms drive noticablly slower than a 200ms drive, where I would

that there is little consensus about ANYTHING having to

You'll need a CD-Drive (reader). Maybe SCSI, maybe not.
You'll need a SCSI board if you go w/ a SCSI CD-Drive,
plus cables, and drivers. Usually come as a single package.
You'll need a sound card and speakers.
You'll need LOTS of patience.
My advice is General. To be specific would consume too
much space.
... Multi-media means multi-headaches.

John, I recently also got AHDN and had a similar problem, I found that I
already had an older version of Quicktime for Windows (put there by Corel
Draw 4.0 for its Quick Tour feature I concluded) installed in my
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and AHDN was trying to use this rather than the
later 1.1 version it installs. Do a DIR QT*.* on your SYSTEM directory and
see if you get any files. Compare the dates with the ones the AHDN
installs, and if they are later, just copy them all into your SYSTEM
directory and see how you go. Of course you it goes without saying you'd do
a backup before attempting any of this! Worked OK for me though :-)

I had a similar problem Marc. As of v4.12 of the driver, Creative Labs
does not support the CR-562b, only there own CR-563 variant. I think the
driver is coded to look for the ident string from the drive and reject the
"foreign" ones. A VERY regrettable move on Creative Labs part, especially
as they are punishing people who at least liked them enough to purchase
their sound cards, even if not their CD drives. Anyway, you need to go
back to version 4.11 or earlier of the driver, or use the genuine Panasonic
CDMKE.SYS with the /sbp:220 parameter (assuming your SB card is installed
at the default port address). I don't know what the latest version of
CDMKE.SYS is, I've failed so far to find a later version than the one I
have dated 4/93.

The problem is probably a smallish 4 wire cable going from the back of the
Rom drive to the sound card. It shoul be included when bought, so take it
back to whoever you bought it from and ask the m about the problem. If
this comes to no avail, they are fairly easy to make.
The encyclopeadias etc.. work because they don't actually play raw audio data
from the disk (as would normal cd digital audio), but they play just like
Wav files or Voc files.

The problem is that your computer is in V86 mode (virtual 8086) a.k.a.
protected mode. To run the game you must disable memory managers such as
Emm386 (most common), Qemm, 386Max etc... These all put the computer in

Hi All
I just thought I'd tell you that I've managed to get this CD working OK
now. The problem appears to relate with the MOUSE driver that was supplied
with my MS Compatible mouse. I found that without the mouse loaded the
Video now loads fine, using the directional keys on my keyboard & the enter
keys instead, to select which video to watch on the first start
up screen, although you cannot click on the VCR like controls while
actually watching a video segment... It think it's quite strange that
it's the mouse driver supplied that caused all the trouble, particularly
when all my other software, including MS DOS & Windows 3.1 works fine
with that driver but doesn't work with this CD.
Anyway I've managed to get an updated MS Mouse Driver version 8.20
& all is now fine, the Mouse now works on the VCR Screen controls as well
as the startup screen. For those interested I found these on the Night
Owl CD disc Version 8 under the DOS Section (MSMOUSE.ZIP I think !)
As for the disc content I guess it is interesting to see how
far this video technology has gone so far. When will we see "The Simpsons"
on CD....
Thanks to all those who gave me some hints,
Patrick.

Thanks for the tip Joel, but it appears all I needed was an updated
MS Mouse driver. Strange really considering I've been running all my
other MS DOS & Windows applications without any problems until I purchased
this CD. I also found that it worked without any mouse, although you
couldn't control the Video VCR-like controls on the bottom of the
Video segments. Anyway I'm now using a true Bill Gates MS Driver version 8.20
instead of my compatible driver that came with my mouse.

Jim,
Thanks for your comments...
I've managed to get the CD working OK now.
It appears that the CD didn't like my MOUSE driver. When I didn't load
the driver in my AUTOEXEC file the startup screen loaded fine & I used
the directional arrow keys & the enter key to select a video segment,
although the VCR-like controls (PAUSE,etc) on the actual video screen
don't work, but who cares.
I've managed to get an updated Bill Gates true
MS Mouse Driver Version 8.20 & the mouse appears to work fine now with
the CD. Strange really, considering that the original mouse driver that
came with my mouse was fully MS Compatible (I've had no trouble running
MS-DOS & Windows 3.1 applications before buying this CD !). The problem
can't have been memory as the MS Driver I'm now using chews up slightly
more memory than the original.
Yes, I read the TROUBLE.TXT file but the
Video on my Cirrus card appears fine, although my card is using an ISA
bus & not a LOCAL video bus I believe you are using. Ditto about the
Sound though, my Sound quality waxes & wanes during the Video from
Excellent to really distorted. Maybe this is due to processing power
the Video is using... The more complex the Video frames the more
likely the Sound degrades. I might try changing some of the settings
on my SB 16 ASP card. If I notice any improvements I'll get back to you...
PS: I've found that the quality of the Sound & Picture is overall much
better with my CD-ROM on single speed & not Double-speed.
Regards,
Patrick.

You can make a cup of coffee while you wait if you like. :-)
O.K. found it. This is from photocopied info sheet from Telecom.
The bits in brackets are my own addition.
Homefax operates by utilising different ring cadences for
each number ... (using) ... facilities currently being
implemented, by software upgrades in AXE and System 12
exchanges. ^^^^^^^^^
The capability to decode the ring cadences ... can be
incorporated in either the fax machine (or faxmodem), or
be provided by a ring discriminating switch in the customers'
premises.
A 'Homefax' package is likely to consist of:
(blah, blah, blah...)
* Digital access via an AXE or System 12 exchange.
* Access to FaxStream Enhanced services, e.g. Mailbox,
Never Busy Fax. (Whatever that is.)
* Any other AXE or System 12 features ... desired.
There's a phone number to call for more info. (03) 634-6922.
There are no dates on the photocopy, but it is supposed to become available
this year some time.

No it dosen't... OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer, the
idea is that you buy OEM equipment as a distributor or dealer and you
supply the Documentation and installation instructions. Like buying a
car. The tires are OEM, Goodyear, etc.... The Panasonic 562B Drive is
made by Panasonic for the OEM market, thats why they are such a good
buy.

Hi !
I have a little problem with my CD-ROM. Sometimes when a user try to get on my
sections on the CD-ROM, he received a message that the sections doesn't exist.
When I tried to read my CD through Xtreegold it says "Error reading drive D"
and through Dos I get this message "CDR101 Unknown error".
Sometimes it can be o.k. for a hole day and some other times it appends once or
twice a day.
Can someone help me.

Kyle, I know you were trying to help Dave, but your information is a little bit
off........
OEM is an acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer. This means that the
company selling the product under its brand name is not the manufacturer. In
some cases the product is exactly the same, in others there are differences.
MPC1 and MPC2 are standards set by the Multimedia PC Marketing Council.
MPC1 requires a 386processor, a single speed CD-ROM drive, and an 8-bit sound
card.
MPC2 requires a 486 CPU, a double speed CD-ROM Drive, a 16 bit sound card and
includes Video for Windows Softare compliancy.
MAC is not an acronym...it is an abbreviation for Macintosh.

Here too, yet in reserved and explictly tagged echos circulated among

advertising and debating as it happens here.
I speak for myself: advertising is less beneficial outside the country it comes
from, whereas debating has a broader scope and a greater driving force.
Wouldn't you become quickly annoyed if we posted tons of uncompetitive
advertising from Paris to Lyon, from Milan to Rome, from Basel to Zurich, from
Praha to Sofia?
I would welcome a splitting into an informative CDROM and a commercial

also mortify the world-wide scope fidonet conferences achieve.

What type of testing did you perform and what were the before

If its supposed to be an element size (/E), the only allowable

I don't have the book handy, right now, but I DO remember the

From 1-2-3-4 To 4-3-2-1, in other words, I had to
completely reverse the 4 wires in the connector.

Hey! I too am the "proud" owner of an ancient Philips CD Rom. Mine is a
CM153. It's real slow but works well and is built like a tank. I think they
are still taken care of by the Laser Magnetics company 4425 ArrowsWest
drive, Colorado Springs, CO 80907. PH 1-800-777-5674.
If that doesnt work try SCSC Advance Storage at 512-338-4745.
Let me warn you first that neither of these companies was very helpful, also
the cost of just the card and drivers may end up being about as much as the
purchace of a new Rom Drive.

I don't believe Stacker has a version for os/2 which would be required in order
to use it with os/2. However, the way stacker works, you could leave a small
stacvol file and then access it when you reboot in dos mode, but I do not
currently know of a way to use it in os/2 since Stacker must be run in the
config.sys, which isn't quite the same in os/2.

You have the _exact_ (and I mean EXACT) system I do!! I also own both
games you describe, and yes, the sound is horrible on both.
T7G gave me really annoying pops (like during the final "Come Baaaaaack!"
vocal.) The voices were also buried and were _very_ difficult to hear. I
tried setting my SB16 mixer first, then starting the game. Same problem,
low voices. So I exited the game and checked the mixer again; lo and
behold, T7G changed my sound settings!!! As far as I know, there is no
easy way around this, other than turning your speakers way up. (Yuck.)
As for Rebel Assault, that sound is the worst I have ever heard in a game.
I got so much hiss it drove me crazy (and with native SB16 support too!)
Everything else works fine, and I would blame those two software items
before your hardware. PS-Strike Commander CD sounds great! You may like
it!

Yes the Tandy CDR1000 is an early Mitsumi... if you have one of those,
make sure that you get the later drivers and also, I believe there are
two wires that you have to swap (in the audio cable) in order for it to
work, but you should have very little trouble as far as getting the
sound right... as for full motion video, I am afraid that those CD
drives are not fast enough for that.... but for everything else, they
should do the trick....
