The review has been posted. There's not much on it I don't already have,
except for one directory <G>. If you'll give me a "reviewer's price",
you can go ahead an put it on my tab. Let me know.
BTW: The installation disk gives evidence of a Pork-Ware II. If/When
you get these, I'd like to look at it as well. Cheers!

The copy reviewed (from Jim Lanbert) had *NO* aminations files (e.g.
.FLI, .GL, .DL) on it. There was a gob of utility programs, tho'. Maybe
you're thinking of Oink 2? The directory listing for it (from the
installation disk) showed some animated files.

MS> * All original scans from the McHenry BBS
Apparently there are *TWO* CDs out with the same name!! The one from ERO
TEK has no animations. The one from McHenry is apparently called
"Digital Dreams - The McHenry Collection". I think a lot of folks are
gonna get confused.
For those readers that are interested, I reviewed the ERO TEK (TEC?)
version. I haven't seen "...The McHenry Collection".

Scott,
How about a price on these CD's? Kind of hard to make an offer when
you have no idea of the price range you might be willing to accept. And
remember some of these go for less than $15 retail..... The only one's I
am interested in are those listed above. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Dear Charles,
I will not defend the company you have mentioned. However, original Toshiba
3401B comes with only a caddy and bare drive. (no manual, cable, sound cable).
I always advise to our customers about what they are getting into. Usualy
individual buys another drive or accepts his/her destinity to get the drive
working with no help. However, if you need help with your drive, I will more
than happy to help you out.

arrange something with you. In all honesty, the MR 1991 is also

Bo,
Great reviews! You obviously took time to go through each one... Keep up
the good work and I'd like to read more reviews if you get a chance. Maybe
even some of the older cd's, and or shareware/non-x-gif/etc. Also a
comparison of each like Total Bytes, %dups, avg image size, and whatever else
you can do...
One question. Does all the x-cd's gifs have bbs logos on them? If not which

PCBoard users will be pleasantly surprised to find that we have
included special tools that will allow them to install BigSky
ROM in just a few minutes -- not hours.
The PCBoard IDX file was created before the Files.BBS and
Descript.ion files were laid down on the ROM.
This software was designed and developed by Martin Productions.
Over 7,000 files using PKWARE, Inc.'s PKZIP (R) 2.04g DeflatX
MAXIMUM compression are on this ROM, including .GIF, .WAV, .ICO,
and .BMP's. Where there were hundreds of small icon files, we
combined them into downloadable 20K files, so there is no inflated
file count on this ROM (just so you'll buy the product).
All files are True Date Stamped, based on largest file in the
archive; there's no false advertising here. If you're a SysOp,
we know you care about your users and don't want them thinking
that a file just came out when, in fact, it is a year old. We
do have older files on our ROM, but if -- and only if -- we
feel it is something useful or interesting.
NO MISSING FILES OR WASTED TIME!
All archive files were scanned with McAfee Associates 5/5/93
SCAN 9.15 V104, which looks for 2,049 different viruses and their
variants.
All archives have a FILE_ID.DIZ to identify them. If one wasn't
present, we added it.
Almost no data files are on this ROM. We expect you to find
other sources for collections of data-type ROM's, and you can look
forward to BigSky #2's being almost all unique digitized images
and files.
We've listened to you on FidoNet; we monitor the Echos: CD-ROM,
CD-ROM sales, VIRUS info, and DIRTY_DOZEN. We've taken the time
to find and remove any HACK Report Files, illegal commercial
programs, programs that won't run right out of the ZIP file, and
anything else we've heard about. Special thanks to the creators
of and contributors to the Hack Report.
Also, since there are inevitably problems with file descriptions,
every BigSky ROM purchaser who sends in the registration card
will be given access to PC-Montana's Special File Description
Update Area -- FREE -- to download all new updates as they become
available.
Files listed in DIR files but missing from Disk -- NONE!
Duplicate files found in Disk subdirectories -- NONE!
Duplicate file names across the whole ROM -- NONE!
Files found on Disk but missing from DIR files -- NONE!
Duplicate files found in DIR files -- NONE!
Files.BBS and Directory Tree have been set up for MOST BBS's.
Each subdirectory will have a FILES.BBS detailed description
list for operators of WildCat BBS's to load the file descriptions
quickly from CD-ROM to their hard disk database.
Cost $48.00 We think you'll be happy with this ROM purchase. We
have checked the stats to see what users want. This is TRULY the
Downloader's ROM.

All archives compared to the lastest HACK Report lists, to remove
any illegal, commercial or hacked programs on our ROM. Special
thanks to the creators of and contributors to the Hack Report.
No unnessasary files or subdirectorys clutering up this ROM.

If your a single rom BBS or running a six pack THIS rom will ease
your apprenhensions about which rom your users will download from.
38 file areas simply structured so that even the novice user will
feel comfortable.
Our stats chose the file areas, and from a cross section of users
age 15 to 46, both professinal and home users, the concept of the

Hi there Todd. Can you help me out with some information here please?
First, I was wondering if the DOS 6.0 MSCDEX.EXE is compatible with DOS 5.0.
I lost my newest copy of MSCDEX in a HD crash and the version I am using
right now can not be loaded high.
Also, my CD-ROM came in a Multimedia Kit from London Drugs. The package came
with a CD-ROM Drive and Sound Blaster Pro from Creative Labs.
Do you know what brand/access time the CD-ROM is?
Thanks,

It is better if you upgrade your SoundBlaster Classic to a SoundBlaster 16
which is one step beyond the Pro. It has 16-Bit sound and can record up to
44.1KHz Stereo of sound rather than 22.5KHz I think. I know that it can get the
sound quality better.

I have an IBM SCSI CD-ROM Drive on my system and they had incompatible
connectors to my SoundBlaster Pro too. What I did was to strip the wires and do
the connections manually. Its not easy but its worth a shot. I took me about a
half an hour to do the job and it worked. On the standard connector which is on
the sound blaster, there are 2 GND's and 1 LEFT and 1 RIGHT connector. I can't
remember what the exact pin-outs of the connector assignments but that should
be enough.

Sure can. In the config.sys you load the driver for each of the drives, just
make shure that the drive designator (MSCD001, MSCD002 exc.) or (CDROM01) is
different becouse you only have to load MSCDEX.EXE once in your autoexec.bat
and have the drive designators that coraspond to the ones in your config.sys
on the command line. like C:\CDROM\MSCDEX /D:CDROM01 /D:CDROM02 /DCDROM03
/DMSCD01 /E /V /S /M:64 .
This is the way I have mine and in fact I have 1 Magnovox, 1 external Hitachi,
4 Internal Hitachi's, and a 6 Pioneer changer all on one system. Thats
3 propriatory cards and 1 SCSI card to controll them.
Just to let you know you should have to troulbe with just 2. One thing
to watch for is make shure your card addresses are not the same, also
check IRQ's and DMA channels (If your cards use them).

Several directories--"Bad" according to Federal guidelines, gross violation of
the Federal Obscenity laws (Beastiality etc)--Hate to go before a grand jury,
and ask them if they feel the same way the Gov't feels--Not all XXX is taboo,
just select areas are documented/known to be a violation of law, this disc has
directories devoted to the "Taboo", and it makes it intentional vs accidental
inclusion of a few random scans. The courts will hold the distributor liable as
well, and can charge them with distribution of Federally illegal
material.....that's why is is important that distribs know the products they
carry--Which brings me back to the Top 10 distribs in the US, none of them will
get near this disc for whatever reason for just this reason. T'aint worth
losing an entire biz because of a disc created by a publisher who is willing to
take a chance...1991 nobody worried, in 1993 the disc has no demand by
distribution.

There's entire directory devoted to beastiality - sex with animals.
You'll sometimes here it referred to by the euphemism "furry sex". In
spite of all the laws against pornography of all kinds, this and "kiddy
porn" (sex with persons under the legal age of consent) are what draw
most of the attention. One is well-advised to stay clear of both topics.

JN> Bob, what drive do you have? will it read nix pix 1? looking for
My CD drive is a 2-1/2 year old Sony 7205; came bundled with the old
"Laser Library". It's an external drive equivalent to a 535 I think.
It's not fast (about 153 Kb/sec according to a benchmark pgm) but it's
a caddy-style style drive and it's been able to read absolutely
everything I've ever put in it - including HP-1 (which I no longer
have).
Like computers themselves, CD drive technology seems to be really
heating up - probably due to the soaring demand within the industry in
general. I'll probably wait another 6-12 months and then see what's
shaken out before replacing the 7205 (unless it dies before then which I
doubt). Cheers!

I got one with your name on it ! She is about 35% different and is minus the
filmstars, models, and amateur directories--But we added some other directories
to fill the voids.......about 95% of the T.I.T.S. BBS logo infringements were
replaced with the originals or just removed off the disc--
What's neat ? Well we teamed up with a software developement house who have a
commercial package on the market called SHOWOFF! (tm)--This package will put up
tp 1,024 thumbnail images on the screen, allows you to build libraries and save
them, notifies you of possible dupes etc--(I usually put 16 GIFS on the screen
at a time)--It get's better, this image package does all the install work, so
the user does not have to do anything but run 1 file--It has a ZOOM feature so
you can pick the image you want from a collection on the screen, and keep
ZOOMING until you have their eyeball only on the monitor--Great tool when you
want to ENLARGE your favorite part of a GIF--<snicker, snicker>...
Even have a directory of Michellea Sorensen, who is active in this echo as well
as CD distribution--Busty was scaled back to 600MB so she doesn't choke on the
older drives like she use too
We still will have our CDMENU on the disc as well, so you have 2 interfaces to
play with--
They will be ready about 13 July in time for Comdex, and I will get my lil'
darlings off--You will like it--The cover was tweaked for the better also !
The fonts are filled with fire special effects--
All around she is solid now--She took 13 lawsuits, and about ruined us, but
she's back and with the 3100 pre-sales, she has saved the company--Looks like
the 5,000 will sell out the first week she is back--Can't get over the
International demand, that's where they all are going it seems.
So Bob, I am pleased to be able to give you a happy ending to this 90 day
nightmare, that about nailed me. Now it's time to get al the other projects
rolling.......

This definitely sounds like a mail order going sour. I started shopping
around for a CD-ROM drive around mid-April, and saw a post by Mohit Goyal
that he bought a 3401B internal for $399+$29 COD. But I am interested in the
external one, since I got a Compaq Deskpro/I with a low-profile case, and the
only open drive bay is used up by a Teac 5.25" floppy. I called CD-ROM
Direct and they quoted me a price of $499, which at first sounded cheap
considering local stores sold them for $589 and up back then. When I asked
if it is original from Toshiba, the salesperson told me it is a Toshiba drive
with a 3rd party case enclosure. But when I asked further, he couldn't tell
me who made it, what warranty it carried, and I had to ship the whole darn
thing back for service. Still, I decide to cheap out and placed an order
with them, the total would come up to $528 COD. A week later, when I called
back for status, I was told the order was cancelled! And that day was the
last day of the $499 offer, after which the price went up to $544. And I
thought:"BLEAUGH! I SMELL A ROTTEN EGG!!" So I quit dealing with them, and
eventually got one in May locally for $530+8.25% CA tax=$573.73. The drive
is genuine Toshiba 3401E, casing and all, with manufacturing date stamped MAY
1993. It's a deal for peace of mind.

If you're not a regular Saturday Night Live viewer, it probably has little
meaning to you. It refers to a silly fake advertisement they ran about
a "Happy Fun Ball" for kids to play with, except there was a list of
about 50 things you shouldn't do around it, because it's some sort of
weird, slightly radioactive ball from outer space or something. One
precaution was not to "taunt" it.

It is simple for a CD producer to run PCtools, or Norton, etc on the
directory to sort it, before coping, and making CD's. Another complaint
was the directory structure. All the Windows stuff was in f:\win\whatev
all the BBS files was in f:\bbs\whatever. Note: some folks may like it
this way. When loading on a BBS, it seams to work better when all the
directories are in the Root directory. By having sub directories, makes
it more difficult to load on a BBS. One thing that is great, is that eac

The files all look fairly new, and are Zip'ed. I one complaint, is
that the files are Zip'ed with the new Zip. Lots of folks are not using
the new Zip, and this causes problems. Those that are using the new zip
is because of the extra compression it performs to save hard disk space.

each Zip file has an Add in it for the CD. As a sysop, I would rather i
not have an ADD for the CD in each Zip file.
(( JT's Rating on a scale of 1 to 5: ))
"production" is the way the disk is put together, organized, including
documentation, etc.
"price" is if the price is reasonable for what you get.
"Quality" in files, is how new the programs are, how many dupes, and gen
quality in the files. In Gifs, it is how the pictures look in
general, and the quality of the subject matter.
"Overall" Average of the above ratings.
Production: 3
Price: 4
Quality: 5
Overall: 4 on a scale of 1 (BAD!) to 5 (GREAT!)
I will try to keep my reviews constant. I don't work for a CD company,
and I don't sell CD's (unless I'm trading with someone :-)) I'm just a
sysop with several years experience.

I have a Winbox review forth coming, then I'm out of new CD's to review.
If some one wants to send me CD's to review with postage to send the CD
back, I will do more reviews. I don't want to keep the CD's, because if
I did, the reviews would loose credibility. (That is if they have any
credibility now (GRIN))

Several directories--"Bad" according to Federal guidelines, gross violation of
the Federal Obscenity laws (Beastiality etc)--Hate to go before a grand jury,
and ask them if they feel the same way the Gov't feels--Not all XXX is taboo,
just select areas are documented/known to be a violation of law, this disc has
directories devoted to the "Taboo", and it makes it intentional vs accidental
inclusion of a few random scans. The courts will hold the distributor liable as
well, and can charge them with distribution of Federally illegal
material.....that's why is is important that distribs know the products they
carry--Which brings me back to the Top 10 distribs in the US, none of them will
get near this disc for whatever reason for just this reason. T'aint worth
losing an entire biz because of a disc created by a publisher who is willing to
take a chance...1991 nobody worried, in 1993 the disc has no demand by
distribution.

Bubba, (or whatever your name is)
Let me make one thing clear here. I NEVER, repeat N-E-V-E-R told you a
check would be OK for your first COD with us. I clearly stated when you
called that the UPS driver would need CASH, CERTIFIED CHECK, or a MONEY
ORDER as payment for the CD's you ordered from us. We were unfortunately
forced to take this policy many years ago when we first started shipping
COD, because 20-30% of the checks we received were bad. Therefore, I
have never told ANYONE that a check, be it personal, business or
otherwise is acceptable on a COD order, so your above claim is absolutely
false. Furthermore, when I spoke with you on the phone, you seemed
apologetic, and told me OUTRIGHT that you would reimburse us for the
shipping, and that a check would be mailed immediately for the lost
shipping charges, AND one of the CD's that you decided you wanted
after all. Well, here it is some months later. Where's my check?
To make matters worse, when I jokingly tried to jog your memory with a
gag about sending "Vinnie and Guido" to collect, you flew into a tantrum,
and flamed me THREE times on this public echo. Here it is months later,
and I would just as soon forget about you and the whole mess, but you
keep bringing it up again and again! Well enough already! You brought
all this on yourself by stiffing us on a COD, then promising to pay for
the shipping, and then reneging on that promise and flaming me because
I reminded you of it!
You know, you could have avoided this whole conflict in a very simple
manner. If you didn't have the exact amount for the COD, why didn't you
simply tell the UPS driver to return the following day with the package?
If you really wanted the CD's, that would have been the easiest solution,
so why didn't you take it? Guess you were just looking for an excuse to
pick a fight with someone huh? Well take your piss-ant attitude and go
bother someone else for a change.

Listen, Bozo, what I said was exactly true. There are several people in

You need a sense of perspective. We're talking about you didn't get an

get your jollies a week earlier. I suppose your mother never told you

pictures were nice. 434 meg. 3414 files.

reference work for families with reports of the latest
research results through 1992. Interesting database.
$20.00 Pediatrics Medline 1:1 Winter 1992. Kind of like a super "well
baby book". Again latest research results through 1992.
$75.00 SPECIAL*SPECIAL*SPECIAL 14 issues of NAUTILUS the WINDOWS mag
on CDROM. These cover from beginning of May 1992 til the end

item.

So far, only FAO Gold, Digital Dreams (Ero Tek), and Giffy Gold have no

Let's agree to seperate image "quality" from image "content". Now the
latter part of your statement is correct: Nix Pix Vol. 1 has some really
wierd (and illegal) stuff on it. That's image "content". In general,
IMHO, Nix Pix image "quality" is pretty poor owing to their use of a lot
of their "members" snapshots, many, many of which are done with Polaroid
cameras (for understandable reasons).

No single CD is "perfect" of course, and as we all know: "Beauty is in
the eyes of the beholder." Still, my experience (and the stats from my
data base) say that it would be hard to go wrong with Busty Babes, or
Ecstasy, or the PCPIX series. BB and Ecstasy are both "BBS ready". Vol
2 & 3 of the PCPIX series include file descriptions, but Vol 1 doesn't.
HOWEVER, PCPIX vol 3 has a file with the listings for Vol 1 as well.
There are VERY few repeats across the PCPIX series and the images are
generally quite nice. If you were looking for just a few CDs, I think
you'd be happy choosing from these.

Subj: GIF Name Data Base Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I've gotten a couple of inquiries about my "GIF Name" data base, so
I thought it might be useful to post a bit of info about it here
since it was part and parcel of my review of Pork-Ware 1. To keep
on topic, I created this data base in order to compare GIF file
names across so-called "adult" CD-ROMs. Historically, there has
been little originality (i.e. truly new images) across such
products. Instead, producers have been content to "re-hash" many of
the same files that were already released on other CD-ROMs, and that
have been posted on some of the larger adult-oriented BBS-s, many
for quite some time. This syndrome has spawned the potential for
unwary buyers of "new" adult CDs getting ripped off by, in effect,
re-purchasing material they already had. This has certainly
happened to me more than once, much to my chagrin.
Since some CD-ROM dealers who also run BBS-s began posting for
download the file descriptions for the adult CDs they had for sale,
it has become possible to at least look at file names (and sometimes
descriptions) before buying for some CDs. While this practice is
not very wide-spread, it is a start and certainly better than
nothing. Do to the sheer number of GIF image files that can be put
on a CD (3500+ is not uncommon), to compare file names across CDs
with any efficiency requires a computerized data base. Over time, I
have generated, loaded, and sometimes deleted the files listings
from a goodly number of adult CDs - like about 30 in the aggregate.
Today, the number of UNIQUE file names in my data base numbers close
to 50,000. The file names come from the following volumes:
Seedy ROM 6-Pak Seventh Heaven (aka Seedy 7)
Busty Babes (1st ed.) Ecstasy
FAO-2 FAO-3
FAO Gold PCPIX-1
PCPIX-2 PCPIX-3
Visual Fantasies Pork-Ware 1 (recently added)
Storm 3
I deliberately left out (or removed) the file names from many older
adult CD releases (e.g. Private Pictures) because they contained
mostly low resolution images. Today, in my view, it's unacceptable
to include images of less than SVGA resolution. Since I wanted my
data base to help me with decisions about new products, including a
lot of low resolution file names wasn't of much utility. Also, some
CDs (e.g. FAO-1, Nix Pix volumes, etc.) have only or mostly
"customized" file names on them making file comparisons based on
names from such CDs practically worthless. (Sadder still, even some
obviously renamed files have themselves been re-hashed on to "new"
CDs!) Still other CDs (e.g. Storm 1&2, XXX Extreme, etc.) were
omitted because of high duplication with the selected volumes.
That brings us to the file names themselves. First, it's certainly
true that just because two GIF files have the same name doesn't HAVE
to mean they're the same image. Secondly, it's also true that
"different name" doesn't always mean "different image".
Furthermore, if you read this echo often enough, you will sooner or
later read a thread that discusses the "dash -" and the "underscore
_" characters and their relevance to "data" CD-ROMs of all types.
(By "data" I mean only to exclude purely audio CDs.) The "dash"
character is not acceptable to the ISO 9660 standard which most data
CDs adhere to. Accordingly, many GIF file names on CDs have all
their "dash" characters converted to the acceptable "underscore _"
character. This means, for example, a file originally named
"DS-F-123" USUALLY gets renamed on the CD as "DS_F_123". I say
"usually" because the file could also end up named "DSF123" or
"DSF_123" or most any other permutation of its original name at the
whim of the CD's producers. Also, one finds that many names even
without any ISO 9660 forbidden characters still get corrupted or
outright new names when put on a CD. Whom actually did the changing
of course isn't discernible, nor is it terribly important. What is
important is "why" and to realize that such practices, intentional
or otherwise, only add gravity to the increasingly pertinent "caveat
emptor".
Now, to meld these two discussions into one, let me say that I
finally decided to construct my GIF file name data base from
listings produced from DOS "DIR" commands executed against the CDs
themselves. Originally, I had used included text files on the CD
such as "FILES.BBS" as source material for the file names. Big
mistake - such files don't exist on some CDs and some that are on
the CDs are "less than completely accurate." Also, I once
post-processed the DIR listings to remove all "dash" and
"underscore" characters in an attempt to homogenize out petty
differences. This proved to be of far less value than could be
justified by the effort. [As a side bar, it's interesting to note
that the PCPIX volumes still manage to use the supposedly forbidden
"dash" character in many of their file names. How the producers of
those volumes did it would be an interesting story if anyone knows
it - I don't.]
Given all of the above, one might ask: "So what's the value of your
GIF file name data base?" That's a legitimate question and one that
I've given some thought to now that most of the effort of setting it
up and maintaining it is behind me. Here's my answer...After MUCH
electronic examination and comparison of other measurable file
characteristics such as resolution, image size, checksum, and file
size, for my purposes I've determined that file name comparison,
with all its faults and "traps", is still far and away the best
discriminator of duplication where the practice of or potential for
re-hashing is an issue.
Where do I go from here? Well, in spite of all the effort I've put
into it, I really hope my data base becomes obsolete, and the sooner
the better. This will only happen if and when the producers of
adult CDs start using only truly new material and quit re-hashing
files. I think market pressure will eventually force this to happen
when we CUSTOMERS demand it by beginning to hold the producers
responsible for their products. How can we do this? First,
vigilance. As copyright laws in this domain are increasingly
enforced and truly new material requires effort and expense to
procure, unscrupulous, fast-buck producers will continue to attempt
to foist old material on us under the guise of a new lusty label and
packaging, and a lot of advertising hype. Those not privileged
enough to know about and use this echo are at a particularly serious
disadvantage and will be easy prey. [Many thanks to Bob & Tim, and
all the sysops that carry this echo!] Bottom line: the fast-buck
artists will be with us for a while. One form of vigilance can be
in sharing data about real or so-called new releases. One vehicle
for sharing data is the "reviews" that I and others have posted on
this echo. Even though each such "review" may represent only one
person's opinion, that's at least one more data point than we would
have otherwise. Such vigilance is made easier by the cooperation of
reputable producers and dealers like Lee Noga, Mike Shannon, and Jim
Lambert who have offered gratis or "on approval" disks for
"no-holds-barred" reviews. They are taking risks by doing this and
we owe them thanks for it.
Secondly, if you think you've been ripped off, don't just sit by and
take the loss. Go back to your dealer and try to get some form of
compensation like a refund or exchange. The dealer wants and needs
your business. If he gets a lot of flak about a particular product,
he'll drop it and the producer will eventually get the message - and
the sooner the better.
Thirdly, when you find a reputable dealer, and there's plenty of
them on this echo like Boris Osadciw who have developed a well-known
reputation for accepting returns from dissatisfied customers, let
the echo know so others can give them the patronage and ripoff
problems can be avoided in the first place.
The CD-ROM business is booming and will continue to do so for a
while, IMHO. In any "boom cycle", no matter what the product, there
will always be those with agendas that don't include the customer in
any role other than "sucker". The customer in the market for adult,
sexually-oriented material seems particularly vulnerable because the
products appeal to some our stronger instincts. CD-ROMs are no
exception. Accordingly, we CUSTOMERS need to erect (no pun
intended) every defense we can to stay ahead of the adult CD-ROM

I hope you don't get many replies to this, but I believe that you are wrong.
Audio cd's, as I understand it, oversample (read the same data several times)
and then, if there is a discrepancy between the samples, average the samples
which were obtained for the data to either side of the discrepancy to smooth
out any weirdness that a scratch might cause. You can probably see that such a
method would not work with binary data.

I'm pretty happy with the current pricing.... I bit when they hit $5099 and
I have mine now...
I've been told by several people that I was foolish to buy it with CD-WRITE,
and that I wouldn't be able to get it to work without a several hours of tech
support. I'm either luckier than those people were, or I just know my way
around computers, IRQ's and what not better. Because I had it installed and
running from out of the box on my own in less than 2 hours.
I *AM* looking around for better software. I picked up a copy of "Publish
yourself on CDROM", which comes with a Demo version of EASY-CD. It's not too
bad, once you resign yourself to using Windows :)
I've read a lot about ISO-Master - That is likely the package I will end up
buying, if I can just locate it... <heheh>
Could you pass along any info you have about software for these buggers? I'm
especially interested in something that will do CD-Redbook Audio.

U bunch of DC 2000 cartridge tapes

Yes, for the right CD drive, cash is definately something I'm willing to throw

Computer Shopper - and I'd prefer to get some of these cards off my shelf.
I'm looking for something I can connect to my DTC SCSI controller, or
something that has a driver card included. I'd prefer a double speed drive,
but if the price is right (really cheap), I'll look at a slower drive.

RL> Does anybody know where to get the Oxford English Dictionary on CD-ROM?
RL> I had heard that it is quite expensive.
Just a note: the OED is available in text form (yes, I'm suggesting you
buy a book, and not a disk) in a compact format. Compact format does NOT mean
that it is abridged, just that the text is quite tiny and requires the
magnifying glass which comes with the Compact OED to read easily. A minor
inconvenience, but as it only costs about $250-300 American, it's worth it so
long as the CD-ROM OED is so expensive (can't remember what the cd-rom version
actually costs, but it's quite a bit and only a savings if you compare it to
the 20 volume version of the OED).

Mr. Shannon, I live in Canada and have a few questions:
1) Do you take orders from Canada?
2) Do you take Visa or Mastercard from Canada?
3) Do you ship to a PO Box, I've got a PO Box and my Visa and Mastercard
bills go there too.
4) How do you ship to Canada (USPS)?
5) What are your shipping rates to Canada?
6) Does your toll free line work from Canada?
7) Do you carry a OS/2 specific CD?
Thanx for any info you can provide.
P.S. Sorry for asking so many questions at once.

Bubba, It's called good business. Once a dealer is established and has
a reputation for providing good service, he can charge a premium - a
premium that his customers are willing to pay in exchange for good
service. Businesses survive by working with high margins... The only
way to get high margins is by offering good service.
If you don't need good service, then don't buy from him... There's a
zillion $1.00-margin-fly-by-nighters out there who I'm sure can give
you a better price.
I've never cut anyone's feed to this echo, but you're pushing me to the
limit. Stop whining. This is your last chance, bubba. EOT.

Seeing the "Boris O'" jogged something in my brain. Nothing to do with
the current dealer flaming or dealer bashing, but it does deal with
Boris. Boris is probably going to kill me, but I was looking back in
some of the '90 CDROM Echo messages just a few minutes ago, and saw a
message from Boris. He was wanting someone to help him find a CDROM
that would run under his Telegard BBS. Back in '90 Boris was quite.
Just had to tell this on Boris.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have a BBS need for two more Sony CDROM drives (internal, 535's are what I
have now).
I would have only needed one, but a certain person (Scott Peterson) reneged on
a deal after I took the time (on my dime) to negotiate a price and sent him a
check for a Sony drive he had. Then I get my check back, saying the drive is
"not currently available". This is not mentioned for 'sour grapes' purposes,
but as a "heads up" for other people who may consider having dealings with
him.
Anyway, my standard offer is repeated as follows: I will pay around $100 for
each Sony CDROM internal drive you have. I have purchased my last two for $100
apiece, so I don't want to go too far above that.
Please echo here if you have one that you will sell for around $100 (and will
follow through on), and post your phone number. I will call you on my dime to
discuss.
Thanks.

Subj: UP ALL NIGHT CD Review Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
UP ALL NIGHT
PUBLISHER: BHI, Inc.
Retail: $39
Telephone: 405-672-1708
Review:
There are a lot of Shareware CD-Roms available. Some advertise a gigabyte
of programs, others advertise 10,000 or some equally amazing number of
programs. One of UP ALL NIGHT's strong selling point is its ability to
utilize every one of the files contained on the disk.
It has an excellent search engine that makes hunting for a file a simple task,
plus it has an added twist, the menu talks to you. If you have ever found
a Shareware CD Rom to be intimidating or difficult to use, you should
check out UP ALL NIGHT.
Up All Night is a CD-Rom created for the end-user. It has a VERY easy to use
search engine, that with a Soundblaster or compatible card actually talks to
you, telling you the commands you just selected. There is even a brief
explanation of Shareware, urging you to register any program you find on the
disk, that you can listen on your Sound Card.
Normally I don't like the interfaces that are put on shareware CD-Roms. On
most CD's I can navigate much better in DOS than I can using an often
clunky interface. This is not the case with UP ALL NIGHT. The interface
makes locating files easier than locating a file on your local BBS.
You can search by file names, or by words in the file descriptions. The
exceptional part of this is the speed in which files are located. Searches
take literally seconds versus minutes on other Shareware Roms.
Another very well thought out feature of the UP ALL NIGHT DISK can be found
when you print a file list. When I get a new Shareware CD ROM, I like to print
out the list of various directories, so I can share the lists with friends
who might be interested in some of the files.
Normally, I have to carefully collate and staple each file directory with
its descriptions, as well as labeling each stack so I can find the correct
files to copy. This isn't the case with UP ALL NIGHT. I can print all the
directories I am interested in, because it puts all of the path information
with the file name and description to make it easy to locate later. The
directory also has a Date toggle, where you can either list the files date
in your listing, or to leave it out to conserve space. For the sysop, or
the die-hard- I don't like interfaces, there are FILES.BBS listing in each
of the disks subdirectories.
When you configure the UP ALL NIGHT CD Rom, you can tell it your favorite
GIF viewer with path so you can view GIFs without exiting the search engine.
It's awful handy to have full file descriptions as well as the resolution
of each GIF before you view it.
OK, so far all I have discussed is the interface, the search engine for the
CD Rom, which in my opinion is excellent, and was created by someone who has
seen the problems with other Shareware disks. It is a vast improvement of
other shareware disks which are just thrown together groups of shareware
files with little or no organization.
The disk was pressed in 1993 and there are a lot of 1993 files on the rom.
I think the total file count was something like 5200 files. There are
games, GIF files that I've not seen before, as well as a wide selection
of VOC files, which can be played right from the interface.
The author wisely saved the VOC files as VOC file, not in a compressed format
such that you would have to decompress before using.
There really is something for everyone on the disk... clip art, Magazines/
Newsletters, device drivers, demos of commercial programs, GIFs, Games,
Databases, Utilities, Sound Card files,the list goes on and on. There are
even copies of the Fidonet CD Rom Echo area from 1990.
UP ALL NIGHT is an excellent disk. If you are like me, you will be up all
night playing with it when you get a copy.

*** 675+ Meg. ***
IN STOCK! *** All 1993 Files *** IN STOCK!
*** 4,955 Files ***
*** Available: NOW!! ***
==> $49 <==
Night Owl 9 is getting rave reviews from our customers. Demand has
been so overwhelming that a 2nd cutting has already been necessary.
This is the BEST, NEWEST, and HOTTEST Shareware CD on the market.
The new disk will sell itself. The question is: with the buttload of
"me too" dealers in the nets hawking the product, why should you buy
from TCM? Let me provide some reasons....
1) AVAILABILITY: We have a *large* quantity of the disks in stock,
ready to ship. Orders are turned around with 24 hours.
2) STABILITY: TCM has been around for over 3 years now. We have been
associated with Night Owl since NOPV3! TCM is not only a dealer
for Night Owl, but is involved in the preparation and production
of the disks. 80% of the preparation, file gathering, sorting
and classifying for v9 was done right here at TCM.
3) SUPPORT: Because of #2 above, we KNOW the Night Owl disks. We
know the files, we know how to install the disk on a BBS and
in stand-alone mode. At TCM, Night Owl is not just another CD
we sell: it is our *primary* product. We are here to help if
you have a question or problem. It is for these reasons that
Night Owl Publisher, Inc. designated TCM BBS the Official Night
Owl Support BBS. No other dealer can make that claim. We have
assisted numerous people who bought the disk from other dealers
only to get a "duh...." response when they called them back with
a question or problem.
4) VALUE: We offer the disk at a competitive price. Previous TCM
customers recieve a substantial discount on all future Night
Owl purchases (as well as other CDs and Computer Hardware, plus
several *new* Night Owl products under development!).
5) PRICE GUARANTEE: We will meet or beat ANY legitimate advertised
price for the disk. Give us the best, verifiable price you have
gotten and we will match it. Period.
You may order the disk from us in several ways:
- Give us a call. If we aren't there leave a message and we'll get
back to you.
- Send check/money order to the address listed below.
($49 plus $3 s/h)
- Call the BBS and use our ORDER door to place a VISA/MC order
while online.
- Call the BBS and download NIGHTV9.ZIP. An order form is included
in the packet.
- For COD, send us a fax or call the BBS and leave a message to
the sysop. Please provide name/address/phone information.

I have one LU002 mitsumi for sale. Internal, comes with card and cable,350ms
access time (I think) and 150Kb/sec transfer rate. I am asking $230 for it. I
also have a drive that looks EXACTLY the same, although it is sold under the
Tandy namw. They are identical in features. Both are brand new, I just have to
get rid of them because I want to get one of those CD-ROM card that can support
up to 4 CD-roms on one card. Contact me in this message echo, or preferibly
call me at home at (403)743-2137. You can also call my BBS at (403)790-2341 or
FAX me at the same number. I will accept cash, cheque or money order.
Both are used... and are still being used until I sell them. Please note that
this price in in Canadien money.... 0.73x230 = $168 U.S. Better hurry, these 2
drives wont last long.

Kevin, not being a player of either version, I don't know if CD-ROM
version of SWOTL added anything different. I noticed there is an option
on the menu "Historical Overview" with several hundred pages of
historical information about actual battles. The cover on the cd pack
mentions also that it includes "four tour of duty extensions: HE 162
Volksjager, P38 Lightning, Dornier 335 Pfeil and P80 Shooting Star".
I doubt the actual game is different in any significant way. During
installation it loads a fairly heavy dose of software to hard drive
for optimal performance during execution (amount loaded to disk is
selectable, recommended dose is 2.5 meg). Just looking around it looks
like the cd-rom is full, so maybe it is more complete.

Ismail's advertised price is $29, which I have gladly matched for those

if he posts it. If so, I'll be glad to meet or beat that too, but one
thing I'll never do is chop the bottom out of a market just for the sake
of saying, "I have the lowest price!". It's well known in business that
having the LOWEST "advertised" price is not always the BEST strategy as

Hi Mike,
Can you tell me more about Moving Fantasies and about the two versions
of Digital Dreams available, what is the difference? What is on them; gifs,
text, animation? Also, I am looking for a CD containing a lot of different
versions of the Bible, the Toarh, and the Koran for a research project. It
should contain the King James version, and an original version in Greek (would
be nice, but is not necessary). Thanks a lot.

Ron,
If it's the integrated CdRom that comes in the LCIII, it's a good deal.
I recently bought a Centris 610 and spang for the internal cdrom model,
even though I had a Nec84. Be sure to get the 300Kps models. Stay away

I don't even know Mike Shanon but I have ordered from him indirectly
through my local sysop (who speaks highly of him), and intend to order
from him directly in the future. I do think that this has obviously
turned into a very vindictive ploy to discredit the man and I feel that
it has no place on this echo. If you have a legitimate beef with him
take it ti Small Claims Court, not here.

Ahoy All!
Shortly, I'm going to be in the market for some CD ROM drives and perhpas some
more discs.
I picked up a Mitsumi a couple of weeks ago to look at, and I'm satisfied with
it's performance so far. If I can add 3 more on the same controller, I might be
interested in doing it that way.
I'm looking for the least expensive way to add the drives without giving away
all of the performance. I could live with 350ms drives around the $200 range.
(aka what the Mitsumi goes for). Maybe a little more if I have to.
Can any one give me any info on this multiple Mitsumi setup? Know if they have
a BBS #?
Also, If any dealers (or anyone who wants to sell stuff) wants to send me
literature, brochures, or whatever, fell free to do so.

The infamous "Busty Babes" will be back on the market and shipping next week.
The disc was scaled back to 500MB which will solve some of the problems it
encountered on older CD players--It underwent major revisions, and most all the
original scans were replaced by the "True" authors etc..
The real excitement lies with the new interface--It was written by a commercial
company, and customized for us thus setting back their commercial release 7
days--The entire CD is viewed in pages (16 scans a page), and you click on any
of these "Thumbnails" and the GIF enlarges--Click on your "FAVORITE" area of
the GIF, and enlarge that piece to unbelievable levels.
Instantly pop up the areas of interest (categories on CD), and go off in
another area of interest--Has complete menu bar on the bottom, quickly fast
forward thru the libraries, click and ZOOM--THis is the first image managing
package on the market, the "New Generation" GIF/PCX for true image lovers--
Our interface was hard coded for 16 images, but the commercial package will
allow you to display from 1 to 1,024 images on the screen. It allows you to
click and drag your images around the grid and put them in the order you like,
and so much more--Finds the image dupes on your drives, and puts them side by
side etc...... to many features to talk about here.
Takes the labor out of trying to manage all those images on a CD--Now you can
jump around with a click of a mouse--and get away from having to see 1 image at
a time-Executes faster then any image viewer on the market--But this is not
just an image viewer, it's an image manager--The first of its kind on the
market--
How will you know which Busty Babes disc it is on ? Look for Vol 1 Release 3.0
on the front cover--
SHOWOFF! (tm), will open up a whole new world to you, and they have provided
their 800 number for technical support and ordering--The commercial package
direct is $49.95, and once you test drive "Busty"--Your gonna be hooked !

Hi Terry!
First of all, I should note that Comdex is primarily a dealers/
distributors/wholesalers event, not a retail one.
To answer your question:
The same way anyone else does. Many computer equipment companies and
CD-ROM suppliers that I'm aware of are perfectly willing to sell a
single piece at a "retail" price, and multiple pieces at wholesale
(I could name 3 who advertise retail CD-ROMs through this echo).
I am not interested in competing with the dealers I supply. I am simply
here to supply dealers who wish to have a quality Canadian supplier who
can give them excellent value where CD-ROMs are concerned, and the
end-users who do not have access to a dealer I supply. I'm afraid
I can't agree with your conclusion, especially since I can't agree with
the assumptions you've stated.
I can be reached via netmail at 1:140/121, or by voice
at 306-789-4654. I'm not sure that the inner workings of economics
are "on-topic" for the CD-ROM echo, so we may want to continue this
thread in another manner.

Mike,
I've been sitting back watching (ya gotta love it), and while I haven't ever
ordered from you yet, it's certainly likely that I _will_ in the future. You
have remained professional and business-like all through all of this, and while
I gotta admit, I've seen some of your advertised products for less, you seem
willing to go the extra mile for your customers. What surprises me, is that
there has been at least one message complaining about you giving the 10%
discounts to some of your customers/supporters. Sure, the recipients of the
discount lose some objectivity. SO WHAT! They _should_ lose their objectivity
when they've been treated right. They'll lose objectivity when you provide
good service too. Maybe you shouldn't do that either. <g> If someone dines at
a restaurant and compliments the owner about the meal, and the owner gives
him/her a coupon for a free meal, the owner will benefit from some real cheap
advertising. The customer will lose _all_ objectivity, but will also have
gotten a free meal! Sounds like the American way to me! :-) BTW, for those
that will accuse me of writing this as a "cheap shot" for a discount, that's
not the case. However, you _can_ send me a catalog to:

Enough is enough, put this matter to rest and stop wasting our money on
childish postings. If you think your going to drive Star Vector customers to
purchase from somewhere else because of your postings you're totally mistaken.
I value a good customer service as oppose to saving few dolars. In fact
despite your postings I have ordered from Mike over $100.00 and I will continue
to order from him.
So sir, you made your point and so did Mike, no point in carrying on with this
bs.

Funny thing - I know the author, Davie Reed (he's the "head sysop" of the
Indiana Computer Society BBS, among other things). He's tried to get me to try
his program, but it is NOT in fact "shareware", but rather is CRIPPLEWARE.

This would likely be true for ANY .GIF display method - VPIC runs MUCh faster
from HD than driect from CD-ROM too....

If you are offering this as a public service, thank you. If the tone of your
message is actually as sarcastic as it sounds, it is rather unappreciated.
Terry did not offer his phone number, so I would not accept it from another
source. Terry did offer to ship a CD-ROM to me via priority USPS on the Sat.
before I posted the message you are responding to. He did not. He claims to
have had extenuating circumstances, but failed to notify me of that fact. When
I posted the message to me, his response was to FED-EX overnight my disc back.
That in itself appeared rather suspicious to me. If he were GENUINELY
concerned that he was unable to uphold his end of the deal, my CD should have
been in the FED-EX package. Instead, he got his jollies, and tried to shift
blame to me for the deal not being completed. If you only moderate in favor of
your friends, you should let us all know before hand. I have never had a
moderator post a similar message to me. I have one more message from Terry to
reply to, and after that, it is end of thread. He claims to have me in his
twit filter, which is fine. I want the message out to the public instead.

My mother told me plenty of things. The first was to be truthful. I was, you
were not. When I sent you a disc, after you agreed to send one in trade but
did not, there is NO reason that I should be expected to then turn around and
offer you "honey" [read "kiss your ass"] to get you to ship my disc. I, as
anyone else on these networks know, there are people that rip off honest folk.
You ripped me off. I shipped a disc, on my dime, you did'nt like it, pulled

Re-read my post. I was civil. I stated my dissatisfaction, emphatically as

in the hospital now. I don't consider it a laughing matter. I offered it
genuinely. I never accused you of lying about your mother, just about the
scenario involving the disc.

This is a public warning to anyone planning on trading/buying discs from Terry
Woodward. I shipped a disc to Terry, on the condition he would cross ship a
disc in return, by priority mail. He failed to do so. After receiving a
message from me, inquiring as to why he failed to complete the trade, he posted
a tirade about how his life was all tied up, and basically what a low-life I
was for asking. He then in turn, shipped my disc back by overnight FED-EX on
his bosses corporate acccount. In his next post, he stated that the disc was
not what he expected. What appears to have happened, is Terry got my disc, did
not like it, and waited for me to complain so he could attempt to shift blame
for the failing trade to me, and try to get a better disc in trade for his. I
am only posting my opinion as to what transpired, and ask that you consider it
and make your own judgement when thinking of dealing with this individual. I
will not reply to messages in response to this posting. End of thread.

BT> i seen that mike shannon is selling nightowl 9 for $37.00
BT> tell me is that extorsion or price fixing?
Actually it is called making profit. And Mike Shannon has no reason
to be ashamed of it. The profit he makes from his sales will generally
be used to perhaps buy products that my company makes, thereby making
profit for my company. My company may then turn around and have a good
year and give us all better raises. I may use a portion of my increased
income to purchase more CD's next year.
Extortion implies that you have "no choice" but to buy from someone. So
we can see that extortion does not apply here. Price fixing implies that
Mike is in agreement with other vendors to artificially keep the price
high. That does not appear to be the case here either since GroupWare
sold it to you for less.
BT> I just bought NIGHTOWL 9 for $25. from groupware...
Of course, the market place sets the prices. Mike will either have to
meet or beat the competitions prices or his sales will suffer. But he
already knows this, no doubt. But you get what you pay for as well.
The lowest price does not always equate to the best "value" as simple
minds might think. Many mail order firms offer low prices, but if the
product breaks or does not meet your needs, you are out of luck. No
support, no returns/refunds, etc.
BT> he claims the lowest prices available.....MIKE you had better drop
BT> that $37. price tag to $24.95 if you want to be the lowest price guy.
If his business is not off, he should keep it at $37. If sales begin
to drop, then he should come down appropriately. I get so tired of
seeing customers get upset because they find out that their supplier
is making a profit on the sale! How long do you think they would be
around if they were not?
Finally, if you do not want to do business with him, that is your choice.
But your continual complaints and negative messages concerning him and
his small business are tiresome. Please refrain from further attacks.

Back when you were warring with Free Spirit Software in this echo, your
battlecry was that you had the lowest prices and you could not be beat. You
then undercut them by a nickel. I'm not sure what "chopping the bottom out of
a market" entails, but it seems to me that either a dealer has the lowest price
on an item, or s/he doesn't. If s/he doesn't, then it wouldn't be right to
claim that it was so, would it?

I understood that you cut that fellow from Free Spirit Software off. I think
his name was Mike Mann, I still see him at the computer swaps. Did I

I think your prices are excellent. I haven't ordered yet, but plan to as
soon as my income (er, my allowance from Dad :) is settled. I have been
looking at Carmen SanDiego DLX and in Canada, my lowest quote is $99.99.
You've got it for $28.50 US. WOW!
You don't have to take this guy's "I bought this for less". All anybody has
to do is say "I bought this there for $xx" and he'd upset everybody.
P.S. How much is 3-day air shipping to Canada (Ottawa-area) and how long
does regular shipping take?
Hope to order soon.

Not necessarily the best price but I've heard highly and think that's your

Hi Bryan,
The cleaning cd should work in your mitsumi, are you running a cd-audio player?
Try putting the cd in the drive then accessing the drive with an audio player..
That should do it..
I take a swab dipped in cleaning fluid to mine, be real careful as not to put
very much pressure on the "eye"..
You will probably need to clean the cd also. I don't know the absolute best way
of doing it, but I use windex with a soft lint free cloth. If you use a cloth
that is abrasive you might scratch the cd, and wee all know that the cd drives
hates scratches..

Yeah, headache time <g>.. I had a drive in one of my workstations also,
everytime a caller would access the drive in the workstation the net would
slowwwwwwwwwww down..
Have you ran a "data flow" test from your server cd drive to a workstation? The
reason I ask is I am kinda surprised that the transfer speed is so slow!
I use cdspeed and get apx. 30k with the mit's and 10-20k with the hitachi's,
75k with the hard drives..
Sounds kinda slow, but I have set my server config just about all the way's
possible. Bye the way I run Lantastic 2mbps boards for the network..

Sounds good. Would you mind giving it a 'rating' like the movie scale
so I could know what to expect, like a R; PG; X; XXX; or what? Also,
I happened to find an old message from you dated in April that mentioned
Ecstacy, and you said it was XXX. If you have time would you mind listing
a few of the adult CDs and their ratings (in your opinion)? I am
sometimes surprised that 'adult' CDs are the bathing suit shots.
Thanks in advance.

The current issue of BoardWatch list numerous files by both name, logo and
company that in fact are in court over their images being used on several
currently available CD's.
Is there an adult CD, R Rated, with nude and semi-nude images that I could
use without any worry. Some told me that the Giffy Girls CD came with a
release, any truth to that one?

Greg,
I havent really set a value on the disk. I haven't been
actively trying to get rid of it. It is an extra copy to
my office just in case something happens to the other.
It is still sealed. We use 123 MPC regularly and we love its
features. I would make a deal with you in a swap or whatever
else we need to do. I appologize for talking around your
question. But, I just don't know. It is an unregistered copy.
Maybe we should talk on the phone. Voice 816 453 9215. Or
I could call you. I would like to have the Office disk just
to have it. I already use Word 4 Win and have the MPC with
Bookshelf CD, however the Office CD would be a good reference
disk for me. Thanks for the reply. Call collect if you wish.

Hello All!
I just got hooked into this echo and I have a few questions I hope somebody can
help me with.
1.) I have a Adaptec 1742b SCSI controller, will most CD ROM drives work ok
with this? If so where can I get either a multiple scsi ribbon that has at
least 5 pin connectors on it, or where can I get the external type pin
connector.
2.) Which CD-ROM drive is the best in the terms of price/speed for BBS use.
3.) What if any comments does anybody have on the Pioneer 6 disk changer.
4.) What type of compatibility problems will I experience in the terms of
having both IBM and MAC CD-ROMS online.
5.) Also how are the directory's on CD-ROMS setup. How do I intergrate them
with files.bbs type files for my BBS software.
I hope somebody can answer these questions as I wish to be fully informed
before purchasing anything to setup better file access for my BBS.

I don't know Mike Shannon because I have never done business with him so
I am not taking up his side in this message. I am also not saying that
you may not have a reason to gripe. But you do seem to want to keep
arguing about this matter and you are intentionally trying to hurt

The Apple CD-Rom drive is probably THE BEST drive I have personally seen.
A student here at Springbrook Middle School in Adrian, MI dropped one while
they were transporting it to a different classroom and it worked like a
charm... even though it was dropped from 4-5 feet above the ground!!!
As for reliablity... it's a sony inside that case :) I run 3 Apple drives
on this BBS and I like them more than the NECin the chain... but, the NEC
is a good drive too (not putting them down... but, the Apple drive hasn't
gave me ANY problems...the NEC sometimes doesn't read the disc -- but this
has only happened twice...) So, all-in-all, Apple CD-Rom drives are
excellent!!! And, just a suggestion, get the Apple 300 -- it is faster and
it is the multi-session version. The 150's are good also... but the 300 is
a FAR better drive just because of the multi-session capability and it is
approx. double the speed.
Gee, I hope you aren't more confused :)

RT>Sorry for the ignorance on this, but I am new to CD-Rom technology.
Ron,
If it's the integrated CdRom that comes in the LCIII, it's a good deal.
I recently bought a Centris 610 and spang for the internal cdrom model,
even though I had a Nec84. Be sure to get the 300Kps models. Stay away
from the older Apple drives and the new cute, black one.
>------------------------------------
Actually, the LCIII cannot take an _internal_ cd rom. The case has room
for a SuperDrive (3.5" floppy) and a 3.5" Half height hard disk.
The Apple one you want is the AppleCD 300. It is state of the art
(double-speed and Multisession photoCD compatible) and costs $599 form the
Apple catalog w/ 9 CDs. Avoid the AppleCD 150i and Apple's consumer
'PowerCD' (the cute black one - its slow) Go to the dealer and twist their
arm a little and you should get the AppleCD 300 for less than the $599
list.
This copy of Freddie 1.2.5 is being evaluated.

Micheal speed is not important on a BBS.It would only help on installing them
or maintenace or such.Other than that Im running a Network and the Network is
27k per second or something.I could be in Windows and the CDDrives are way
faster than any 14400 modem can download.I would say even faster than any
16.8,19.2,or whatever these phone lines will allow.If your BBS Software looks
for the files on the CDS when people do a file search that would be slow no
matter what player you buy.If you buy one of those 6 disk changers I wouldnt
see how anyone would wait for the search.The 6 CD Player is good if your
hurting on IRQ's.But I run multinode and I dont see how 2 people could download
off of 2 seperate CDS at the same time.Unless your BBS software copies the
files to the hard drive before they download which mine does.But there still
would be interupptions when the discs change.So all in all,access speed can be
considered if your judging quality or running hefty games or Multimedia. -Dan

First of all, you guys are home based businesses while we are full commercial,
we pay rent, tax ect. We also stock everything we sell, I know for sure that,
several of you doing this business as a second income. Can you host any of your
customer in place of your business? So, do you think it is fair to compare you
with full commercial businesses?. Plus, we do have good prices with good

In defense of Terry, I have dealt with him several times, both from the
sending AND receiving end, and I've found him to be very polite and
honest in his dealings with me. I honestly don't think Terry was out to
cheat you Michael, it's just that sometimes there ARE extenuating
circumstances that put a person's commitments on hold. He told me

MM> available on th emarket. The pros and cons to utilizing a CD
MM> version compared to that of hard copy etc.
I carry the 1992 21 volume Grolier"Academic America Encyclopedia"
for $69. This is the best encyclopedia I have seen. It includes
full text on 33,000 articles as well as comprehensive index of
all titles, words, pictures and maps. In addition, there are
thousands of pictures, hundreds of sounds, and over 50 digitized
video clips including NASA missions, major sports events and
famous people in history with motion video. You can hear famous
speeches, musical compositions, animal sounds and bird calls with
high-quality audio. (Speaking of comparing a cd to hard copies
of encyclopedias, the sound/music is not possible with them.)
Since the quality and speed of indexing is so much more advanced
with a cd version of an encyclopedia, it makes research much
easier and more fun to use the cd. Generating reports from paper
requires a great deal more time and effort than pressing
print-screen!

RN> I just got hooked into this echo and I have a few questions I
RN> hope somebody can help me with.
RN>
RN>
RN> 1.) I have a Adaptec 1742b SCSI controller, will most CD ROM
RN> drives work ok with this? If so where can I get either a
RN> multiple scsi ribbon that has at least 5 pin connectors on it,
RN> or where can I get the external type pin connector
Most cd rom drives use a propitiatory card. SCSI cd drives are
usually more expensive... but I do have the Toshiba 3101 (Made by
Toshiba America not Japan. The Japanese ones only have 34 k
buffer and aren't as good is other ways.) for $249. These are
new (350 ms access time) with 90 days warranty.
RN> 2.) Which CD-ROM drive is the best in the terms of price/speed
RN> for BBS use.
For a bbs you want as many drives as possible since sitting up
all night and changing out disc for your users is not practical.
I have use Hitachi internal (model 3500) drives for $130 each.
The controller cards are new and cost $60. You can daisy chain 4
of these drives on a single controller card, making the average
cost $145 per unit. I also have 4 bay external cases and power
supplies with external cable. I am offering this setup for $600
for the last 4 setups I have in stock.
RN> 5.) Also how are the directory's on CD-ROMS setup. How do I
RN> intergrate them with files.bbs type files for my BBS software.
What BBS software are you running? I have written utilities to
automatically and instantly set up my cd "Cream of the Crop"
shareware cd with Maximus, Spitfire, Ra, Qbbs and PCBoard.
In order to set up a cd so that users can access the files from a
bbs the Sysop usually must do the following steps MANUALLY:
1. Type in the file paths to the Files.bbs (usually 50 + areas
on most cd's... Aprox. 1 hr.)
2. Type in the description for the files in each area. ( Aprox
30 min.)
3. Type in the security level that callers must have to access
the cd AND set various other flags. ( Aprox 30 min )
4. Copy the files.bbs to the hard drive AND increment the file
names... i.e. Files.1 Files.2 Files.3 etc... ( Aprox 1 hr.
AND easy to get confused and make mistakes.)
5. With many bbs's you next have to change to the directory on
your hard drive where you placed the Files.<x> and then edit
EACH and EVERY listing and in some cases remove the time and date
column. ( Aprox. 1 DAY ! )
6. Finally you have to HOPE that all this was done without any
mistakes because when I log on your bbs and see a file I want and
it doesn't come I'll leave you a message saying "What's the
problem with my security... remember I sent you $5?" <grin>
Call 205-824-2552 and let me know what you want.

Hi Duncan.....I think you're out of luck here friend. You can't use HFS

an ISO9660 format Mac files disk out but it has serious problems and has been
deemed unusable by several sysops I know supporting Mac's with PC based systems
(it's put out by some folks in Florida I believe...don't know the name). Lots

TS+Am looking for a CD ROM titled "Bible Library". Would like one that was
+picked up in bundle at low price as I have limited resources. Can be
reached
Mike Shannon in his message titled "CAN U READ THIS?" is offering that
one for $31 which is probably about as good as you'll find unless
there's someone around who doesn't want theirs anymore and will sell
it to you for less than that. Even with limited resources, $31 is a
pretty good deal for what all is available in that package. (I have
it and use it and am not about to part with my copy right now.)

Publisher: Power User Software
"Distributed By":
SPYR Incorporated

Fax: 814-864-3993
BBS: 814-864-1230
Price: Retails at $69.oo
When: This just came out a few days ago, I pre-ordered mine and got it
on Saturday.
FREQ "SMS3.ZIP" from 1:2601/566 (dual 16.8) for complete filelist.
What: Here's the stats that I've found:
quoted from back cover):
Contains 650 (Wrong, more like 680) MEGABYTES of the most exciting
shareware programs available anywhere - AT ANY PRICE.
"Fantastic VGA arcade games, home & hobby, graphics, clip art, Sound
files, financial programs, OS/2, Windows applications, Fonts & more!
Really something for everyone."
"Our menu systen us both easy for the computer novice yet advanced
enough for the POWER USER. Featuring extensive online help, mouse
support, Soundblaster support, command-line and run-time toggles,
filelist printing, file tagging. Includes an on-line CDrom door and
much more!"
"No knowledge of file compression or ZIP files is necessary!"
"BBS ready with standard file lists inall directories."
Here's what I think (MY opinions of) this disk:
** NO GIFS or JPEG Format Images **
(Why some manufacturers still put space-hogging images on their
shareware disks is beyone me, they should put actual shareware PROGRAMS
on Shareware cds and maybe make a whole seprate GIFS cd if they Want)
*********** BBS READY ***********
This CD installed itself FOR me into my existing "Mike Robinson's SFrom
or EZROM" door. Letting the computer operate by itself for a minute
while installing is much better than spending 30min to 2 hours
installing a new disk, BELIEVE me, I've spent that much time installing
disks before. BTW if you have a bbs but dont use SFrom or EZrom yet,
it'll install the CD-Rom door also!
As you can see, this is the easiest to use/setup and best Shareware
cd out there. But see for yourself,
Ask for So Much Shareware 3 wherever you buy quality CDrom disks!

I posted a public statement, once, that I had been defrauded by Terry Woodward.
That has been allowed in the past, and I followed suit. I don't understand
your statement about whining. Whining is what Terry did when he made the
statement that the disc I mailed him was not what he expected, and about how
hard his life was since he also had to help a disabled individual set up his
computer, instead of fulfilling previous obligations. He tried to steal from
me, and I prevented it, and hopefully protected others from his misdeeds. I
have traded with many people in the past, and he is the first to try and give
me the shaft. And as you and Terry's friends so love to say, EOT.

Fraud, thief, liar. Choose your favorite. All apply in your case. You lied
to me, you tried to steal from me, and then you defrauded me by failing to
complete the trade. If you were not guilty, you would have ignored my posts.
Since you feel the need to prolong this, you must have a feeling of guilt for
you actions. Mkae good on the transaction and send my disc. That is all I
have wanted from the start. And you are right about one thing. I will never
forget someone who tries to steal from me. If all I have said about you is
false, prove it and send my disc. I will return yours to you. Remember, I
completed the trade like I said. You did'nt. Do it now and prove your good

My experience is that it takes 2-3 weeks for them to get here to the Fort. I
think the customs guys are copying all the good stuff off of them before
sending them along:-) Seriously, they seem to open virtually every CD parcel I
get and I'm not on any security risk lists as far as I know.

There's several programs available. One that come to mind that I believe does
what you want is CDMAXDOR.ZIP. I think it might be on Bruce's system. Let me
know if you can't find it and I'll u/l on your board. By the way, unless you
plan on adding a second node with access to the CD-ROM you really don't need to
copy the files over to your hard drive first as the CD-ROM drive can transfer
data faster than your modem can transmit it. There may be reasons other than
speed for doing that however.
Take care.

Mike, I'm a door author with 5 doors out and a 6th on it's way and I was
wondering if you would be interested in a trade of registrations for my doors
for CDs? I've already gotten Software Vault 2 (you are right, it's an
excellent CD) and Winbox (great if you want windows files) but I'd be
interested in getting Night Owl 9, Pier2 or any other Shareware type CD like
these. If you are intersted I'll be glad to send you details on my doors.
Thanks
Mike

No problem. IMHO, one of the best CDrom deals on the market today is the
Apple CD-300. It's double spin, buffered, and true SCSI-2 interfaced.
And it's going for $399 at my local Comp-USA. It keeps up well with my
Nec-84 and costs about half of what the Nec did.

Ismail, I don't think the costs you incur running your store front make
a bit of difference. I don't live within driving distance anyway. Those
of us who shop via BBS (or US Mail for that matter) just want our
product delivered to our door quickly and at a good price.
You can look at your store front costs as belonging to your walk in
customers. Those of us on the BBS don't care a bit about your costs but
DO care about your service and prices.
James
BTW, I am not a dealer either with a store or via the mail. I have
bought almost all my software both at home and at work via mail order.
Never once have I wished to be hosted in a place of business (nor have I

NO models, no filmstars, and a real decreased probability that the disc
contains playboy/penthouse on it,--Removed alot of the amateurs, and reduced
the disc from 670 MB to 520 MB. Alot safer for sysops now--Plus 3.0 has a new
interface called, "ShowOff"--Look at 16 images at a time, manipulate the disc

Sorry to jump in - but the Mitsumi is 300 ms access time, but being MPC
compliant (as most drives are) yields a 150 kb transfer rate. Perhaps
that's where the 150 ms came from. The older Mitsumi (which I own) was
500-600ms access time, but still yields the MPC spec'd 150 Kb/S transfer
rate. They sell for $189.00 new. So a $200.00 price tag for the drive and
some software (like maybe three CDs) is not out of line.

If you mean Consulting Detective #1, I ran it fine on an 800ms Hitachi
(CDR2500). There was a one second hesitation for every 20-30 seconds of
full-motion color video, but it worked. I was running the real disk, not a

MB>By the way, dis I tell you that Terry Woodward ripped me off?
You keep saying that. Out of curiosity, what would the actual monetary
damages be in this case? Can you give us an accurate damage assessment
for this "ripoff", expressed in whole dollars? I think we'd all like
to know if your prolonged character assassination is actually
warranted in relation to your out-of-pocket expenses.
