Question makes no sense as written.
>3) How much additional memory is needed to *power* the sound card?
Huh?
>4) Is there a sound card that will also control other SCSI devices?
PAS should, though it's NOT real high performance. You might be better off
using a REAL SCSI controller (like the Allways IN-2000 or even that Adaptec
stuff) with your choice of "pure" sound card.

> I am interested what the difference is between these double/triple/quad
>spin CD ROM drives? What does it mean that it is a double speed drive.
A standard CD-ROM spins the disc at a constant linear velocity of appx. 1.2
meters per second, yielding a data transfer rate of appx. 153 kbytes/sec.
A double-speed CD-ROM spins the disc twice as fast, yielding twice the DTR.
A triple-spin does 3 times as fast for 3 times the DTR.
Et Cetera.
>Does it mean that it is twice and fast in all areas of data transfer or what?
No - Average Access time is NOT related to DTR to any real degree, though the
higher DTR drives tend to be newer designs with faster Average Access times.
There ARE a few Double-Spin drives that have a SLOWER Average Access time than
the fastest of the Single-Spin drives.

That description means you DO in fact have the OEM version.

Hello phil!
Here are some hints i need....
1. Exit from Channelwood...i've gone to the boys huts, picked up a blue page,
gone to the room where the red page is, picked it up (blue disappeared),
and tried pushing the 4 buttons on the device...only the last spoke
English...then went to the room where there is a "chopping" device that
"closes" when you click near it..
2. Where the pages are in the rooms on gear world...anything to do with the
thrones?
3. How to get to spaceship land...i've tried to match the notes on the piano
by moving the levers and listening to the clicks, since it doesn't play
music when i pull the lever...either I counted wrong, or it didn't work...
4. In general, are you supposed to bring both pages from each world?
Zeus.
P.S. IF possible (not asking you to...only if you have already done it..),
send me a file with the complete solutions?

Mine came with CDMKE (the "LaserMate" kit), and it works both the new

ATBUS card. If the newer driver don't recognize your drive, perhaps
the older ones think you have a CR-521?

As you can see there not 600+ Megabytes nor are there 4000 files.
The percentage is way out, according to my calcs there are only around 60%
dated 94. The dates bit is not strictly true either. There may be many files
DATED later than 1993, however there are also many DATED later than 93 but are
in fact originally dated many years earlier (they are not updates). The dates
have been altered. I saw many files where the Archive date and time +files
date/time + fileID.diz etc were all EXACTLY the same time and date.
I suspect that they are having problems finding 600+ megabytes of NEW files
every 3 months, so they are resorting to "Cheating" on some to keep up the
quota, perhaps they should look to every 4 months or even 6 months instead of 3
months for a release.

going to pin 38 or 39.
I cannot find out what type Controller card is necessary to run these 4 Drives.

That seems to be the only viable solution. The cost seems to range from 50
cents to $1.50, so I'll just have to enter "bargain-hunter" mode. It does seem
a shame that the manufacturers are trying to save what can't be more than 39
cents in the manufacturing cost.

You're right; Ziploc bags _would_ be better than the assorted thin packaging
materials some vendors use. :-)

I have more than a lifetime supply of 5 1/4 inch disk boxes, both cardboard and
the plastic ones Maxell was using at one time. (I also have a lifetime supply
of 5 1/4 inch disks, slightly used :-) .) So, are you suggesting that I simply
put the plastic-sleeved CD into the disk box? Yes, that's one way. I guess
this is one time it's OK to put "new wine into old wineskins."
Still, I'll probably opt for buying empty jewel boxes, simply for convenience
and neatness.

I recall reading about the early days of audio CDs: the disks were stored in a
wide variety of ways, all different, no two the same size. Early reviewers
were very vocal about wanting a uniform size container, and about how much
easier the jewel box was to handle. Plus the retail dealers wanted some shelf
uniformity. So the jewel box became _the_ standard for audio CDs.
But in the computer field, I guess it's the outer cardboard box that fits on a
bookshelf that's the standard for the retailer -- never mind what's inside --
books, disks, CDs, objects, etc. Which means the retailers aren't going to
sqwak about the "innards" of the product.
Of course, I've never been one to keep the entire cardboard box; I don't have
enough room on the bookshelves in my work area. So I fillet them, keeping the
diskettes in storage designed for them, and the manuals on my bookshelf. Which
is how I come to wonder what to do about the CDroms: the "naked" ones need some
protection from the chaos of my desk.
> But, jewel case packaging is not necessarily a given as there are

I'm waiting for one of them to become proven. Maybe the CD-ROM industry has to
relive the early days of the audio CD industry. Or maybe someone will come up
with a great CD-ROM storage device and get rich solving the problem. :-)

the nodes in europe carry your commercial stuff and you don't get bothered by
the gaming hints (or how about a contribution to bring the GAMING echos to

keep ads to the 10 lines limit and just hit DEL if a gaming hint comes on your

I just checked again today and my box was empty. I am getting very impatient
as I have paid for the discs but not received anything. I talked with the
Accountable Clerk and he said the tracer must be initiated on your end. My
only concern is how much longer I will have to wait. It is not fair for me to
wait until someone else fixes their screw up.
To aid in determining what went wrong, please answer this echo and include the
complete address that you shipped it to. Also, how was it labeled? If you
pasted ( CD-ROMs ) all over the box, instead of classifying it as ( Computer
Media ) then it was probably stolen. Customs likes detailed descriptions, but
so do pilferers.
My intent is not to implicate anyone as to what happened between origin and
destination, but please understand my side of this situation.
By the way, that ( Return Receipt ) for $1.00 that the post office sells would
have kept this from happening. You could have seen exactly where it went and
who signed for it. Now, I'm in the dark, and severely upset.

The best thing to do is get a SCSI-Parallel adapter... which plugs
into your parallel port, with a pass-through so you can still print. Then
purchase an external SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) CD-ROM (NEC Makes

To answer your question, yes, they are different formats. Back about 10 years
or so, a meeting was held to discuss the format of CD-ROMS, and they came up
with a logical file structure referred to as High Sierra or ISO 9660 which is
used to produce CD-ROMS so that different ROM players could read the data on
the disc.
When data is pre-mastered it is organized (for lack of a better word) in
either the High Sierra format for PC's or the HFS format for the Macs. Many
publishers will produce different discs which can be read by each platform;
however, many ROMS today are produced such that both information is on the
single disc. Thus, the Macs only see and read that structure it recognizes
and the PCs only see and read that information it needs.
Hope that helps and hope it made sense.

That was one of the easiest for me. |] You have to position the bishops
so that they cover the whole chessboard without covering each other.
(The Bish moves diagonally if you don't play chess.) Try starting about
2 spaces in from the outside of the board. Good Luck.

Yeah, currently there is no standard packaging per say for CD-ROMs because
depending on what kind of information the disc contains, it may be packaged
in many different ways. The Sega games for example are packaged in some of
the larger type jewel cases that will allow the manual or whatever printed
material is needed to fit in that case. Also, a lot of discs come with books
that are CD-ROM related. In my experience, the disc has always had some sort
of plastic sleeve in which to keep the disc.
At the moment, I don't know of any "standard" packaging style. And I am like
you when it comes to the boxes. I don't keep them either. My discs are just
stacked up on top of each other, kinda like the way I used to keep the 45 rpm
records. I don't worry too much about damaging the discs because they are
protected pretty good with the polycarbonate coating that is applied to the
disc after production. But then again, I don't have a lot of ROMS to worry
about.
Hope you are able to resolve you dilema.

I'm not quite sure what it is you want other than a master. We do the entire
process from taking the tape or raw data, make a master,etc. and then we
actually, press, print, and package the discs.
If your question is that you want only a master and no production, I'm not
quite sure if the plant will do that. I will follow up on it and get in touch
with you or have someone else give you a call. If the mastering and pressing
of the discs is something you want, then yes, we are in the business. It is
JVC Disc America. We have a sales office in California and New York. You may
give me a call if you would like at (205) 554-5528 CST and I will try and
answer your question.

I read you posting how your CD-ROM drive was not reading the Hobbes OS/2 disk.
When I first put the disk in my NEC 83 drive I would get a CRC error. But all
my other disks worked just fine. The disk worked on other drives as well. I
took the drive to NEC and they fixed it. I was able to get a DIR of the disk.
But if I tryed to copy info to the HD I would get the error. I again took it to
NEC and they fixed it again, and finaly it works. From time to time it gets
errors and if I HIT the drive and try again it works. My guess is when they
pressed copyes of that disk it is a little out of spec's so my older drive had
a problem but newer drives did not.

There are some extra drivers in OS/24W that was not included in OS/2 2.1, but
OS/2 2.11 (OS/2 2.1 Service Pack) has some extra over what OS/24W has. OS/24W

Please direct future question about OS/2 to the OS2_Z3 echo, where it is on

Hi Christian,
I have been through the Return to Zork, so here is some help
for you.
THE INCINERATOR To cool the wire use water? The second
time you go to town you visit the gift shop. Did you examine the cash
register? Did you take the items in drawer? After you leave here did
you go under the bridge? You find a waif with which you exchange an item?
Here at the river you will fill your flask, did you do this? The water in
the flask you use to cool the wire in the incinerator drawer.
THE RATS On your first trip to town after you arrive at
bridge, did you pickup a box at the hardware store? You will need this!
After you have cooled the wire and taken it, you use it on the lock of the
green building (next to Moodock's). Here you find the rats. Use the box?
hope the hints are useful and help you in the adventure.
All the best from JIM

Grab the left most slider and push it up with the mouse and you should hear
all the notes. If you hear no sound then something is wrong. Also try setting
the sliders in the form of a triangle and pull the lever and you should hear
notes from low to high and back to low. If you get no sound then something is
really wrong and I would try a complete re install - Good luck as I can be of
no further help !!

No, Rainer. I was suggesting you just slip the disc into those
little paper/paperboard cases the actual 5.25 comes in -- the
sleeve that looks like an envelope with the flap cut off.
It isn't a perfect solution, especially since neatness is of importance
to you. But I've found it convenient and of course the discs are very
easy to get to and get out, and fast as well. I've been doing it for
years and never had a problem. Cheers!

He may not have seen it advertised, John. Their marketing practise

by calling Chicago information and asking for the World Book
listing. BTW, they've just come out with a Windows version and
their cdrom version is called Information Finder.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I recently bought a NEC single-spin CDR-25bj CD-ROM player with a SCSI
ionterface. The card is a T100 (trantor), and the combination works with the
only cd i have. However, The drive doesn't work with my other, Future Domain
TMC860 SCSI controller. (They're both SCSI.) Does anyone know why?
Perhaps someone would trade my T100 for a T128?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Mike!
Dear Sir:
I've downloaded your list and had some question about products.
"Classic collection plus 4-pak" ( Price $47.70 ) contains Shakespeare
and Sherlock , and you still have it sold seperately ( $12.7; $14.7 )
, are they the same CDs?
And do you have any discount?
I look forward to hearing from you soon!!
Sincerely Yours!

Ted,
You have not answered my other messages, I would assume that you are either
ignoring them, or that you do not use this echo on a regular basis. In either
case, I cannot understand why you poke your nose into something you either are
not familiar with, or that you do not want to follow up on. last message,
maybee you might see this one!
Whats up with forwarding my message to compton's?? I am unsure if you sent me
a message to this effect, for I caught it late... If you have a problem, let
me know about it.

Have heard about Linux, and am interested, but a few questions... Does
this cd have all the files I would need to start using linux? I don't
have anything except dos and windows now. And can it run off the CD if I
use a boot diskette. Read an ad for a linux cd that claimed to be able
to do that. Is linux compatable with my dos hard drive format, or would
I need a second hard drive/partition?-

Don't get me wrong. The software is off good quality. But the price! The price
listed on the message for the 6 cd set is 109$. By the time I finished paying
out US currency exchange, GST, customs and God knows what else; the bill came

Hello Ron.
I'm running a 1.7 gig Micropolis hd and a 340 meg western digital off of an
Ultrastore 15FM hd controller. No compensation needed. I just followed the
instructions in the controllers manual and it works fine. I'm also running
it under DOS 5.0. Using Qemm 2.41 and DV 6.01 for multitasking. Also run 2
of the Pioneer drm-600's and 3 Mitsumi Double spins on 1 486dx33. I traded
the dealer some spare parts for the Ultrastore controller card but I believe
they run aroud $110.00. Comes with 2 16550 uart com ports and 1 parallel
port and a game port.

Assuming you'll be travelling the I-95 hellway, you should not miss the
second largest tourist trap east of the Mississippi(*). It was conceived
in some slack master's pinhead many years ago as an attraction with no
connectivity to the surrounding culture, history, temperment, or religion.
I am, of course, talking of South of the Border. An oasis of excess just
south of the North Carolina border with South Carolina.
The theme: Mexico! (of course!)
There is a huge neon cartoon Mexican standing outside the place, and his
ghastly visage adorns billboards for ten miles in either direction. As an
added bonus, the billboards are all written in Speedy Gonzalez pidgin
English. Truly amazing, but nothing compared to the greed-mongering
inside the place. Every tacky trinket you can imagine is for sale, as
well as many you couldn't possibly imagine, even with chemical help.
If tacky tourist ambushes thrill you as much as they do me, you won't
want to miss it. The name again: South of the Border, I-95, just

Subj: Movie Select CDROM Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
On Friday's edition of "Computer Chronicles" they had a very
short review of a CDROM called "Movie Select". They said that it
can predict which movies you will like based on what movies you
have liked in the past.
How much does this CDROM cost? How easy is it to use? How well
does its prediction ability work? How many movies can you tell
it you really liked and have it base its recommendations on? Can
you save a file of all the movies you liked to HD for later use?
Will it allow multiple users to save their preferences?
I know that it will recommend movies. Can you ask it if you are
likely to enjoy a specific movie. Does it have artificial
intelligence features that allow it to learn from its mistakes?
Have I asked too many questions? Thank you in advance for all
replies.

Legend of the Red Dragon seems to be ok now, however, when I die in land of
Devastation it tries to go back to the board but never makes it to the main
menu! It redraws the gray background and then draws several arc s through the
status bar on my screen... at that point it acts like it 's back at main, but
never draws anything and when I try to use hotkeys it just beeps! What's up?
Thomas Bradley
P.S. I Love Legend of the Red Dragon !
and I sort of like Land of Devastation but I keep getting killed and losing
everything... (NOT FUN!)
Thanks for bringing them to us!!!
I have befriended several warriors now and am enjoying the user interaction on

Do you know anything about creatng or editing animated files in the .fli

full screen (648x480) and one for windows that allows you to create your own
and view existing ones, but not edit existing ones... I got hung up on twice
by a system where I got a few of the animation files in mid download so it lets
me view what's there and then locks up when it reaches the last existing
frame... I would like to find an editor to change the listed number of frames
and possibly change the files around...
Just though I'd ask...

Subj: Re: Packaging of CD-ROMs Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
My immediate solution was to buy three empty jewel cases at CompUSA for $2.99.
I know there are mail order places selling them for as low as 50 cents.
I also ran into an interesting device at a local record store. It's about 2
inches tall, black plastic, and has twelve plastic arms inside that swing up
and emulate the locking hub in the center of the jewel case. The net effect is
something that fits in the hand and holds a dozen CD/CD-ROMs with the same
security as the jewel case. There was also a
two-of-these-side-by-side-in-one-outer-case version that hold 24 CDs. Cost was
about 8.99 for the 12'er and 13.99 for the 24'er.
There was a rack at CompUSA that holds jewel cases by the hinge side, so you
can open the jewel case and remove/replace the CD without taking the jewel case
out of the rack. Much bulkier, but good for CDs that have manuals or other
documentation that fits in the jewel case.
I'd be reluctant to stack up the disks. I always kept my 45s in their paper
sleeves. A friend of mine in college kept his in stacks, and they always
seemed to suffer a little bit in the click, pop, and scratch department.

Hi Mathieu, if you still need the solution, here we go:
First of all you don't need to solve the puzzle to move through the game
or finish it. If you were to read the book in the library for hints, the
third time it would be solved for you.
Anyway heres the best I can do for you:
OBJECTIVE: you control the blue cells. Stauf controls the green ones. The
objective is to capture the majority of the territory and wipe out as many
green cells as you can.
MOVES: Cells can split in two in any direction. They can also jump over a spa
but they do not duplicate when they do. If a cells comes in contact with any
cell of another color, that cell will change to match the color of the one
that moved.
NOTE: There is no one strategy to beat this game. It is not a puzzle but
based on the game SPOT, if you ever played that.
Also, Stauf will not move into an area of two empty spaces surrounded by other
cells. This is obvious because then you could move into the remaining space
and grab all those cells! Perhaps there's a stategy that makes use of this.
GOOD LUCK, RICH

All the time I see people asking questions why their software program

variety of programs and device types. At the end of summer I will
be getting a multi-media system. Does any one know what CD-ROM/sound card
combo has the best compatibility with software and will give me the
fewest problems? Right now I have a SB Pro in my system. Should I keep
that and transfer it to my new system? Thanks for any help. -RCL

Does anyone know of any user group, company, individual etc. that is selling
very new sharware on CD-ROM?
I don't mean disc's like Night Owl's, but disc's with only the absolute latest
shareware and it should be enough with 50-100 Megs on the disc.
It should come out about 1-2 times each month.
The idea with this type of disc should be to fill the gap between
distribution by modems and distribution by standard shareware CD-ROM.
The cost should not be more than a normal CD-ROM.

Well ... They're going to be less tolerant of scratches than audio CDs. (Audio
CDs use error concealment, i.e., guessing, when the error correction is
exhausted, and you can't do that successfully with binary data.) Of the audio
CDs I borrow from the local library, about 1 in 20 has a gross defect, like
skipping or an entire track being mute. So I feel it is necessary to treat
CDROMs as well as I treat my audio CDs, and not "downgrade" my kindness to the
levels of less careful library patrons.

In this echo and cdrom_sale echo. One of the regular dealers(I believe) that
have been clawing at each others throats lately and totally ignoring the echo
rules about postings etc. It was 31 or 32.50 plus shipping (ver6. it stated).
Also: saw a post from a user that had your version (could be mistaken on
versions) that stated that it had nearly nothing or nothing on Joe Fraser
or boxing in general. Hense, another reason why I won't pay a lot for it.
I figure if its THAT short on such a major subject, then its going to be
hort on other things also.

The 7th guest can puzzle is one of the most difficult in the early stages of

Oh! That makes more sense; guess I was just a little bit dense when I read
your first letter |-).
The only problem is that one cannot see the printed label on the CD itself; I
guess one could label the dust jacket.
One advantage is that they occupy less room, and will go in the existing filing
containers for 5.25" disks.

Thanks for the info... I'll keep my eye out for it. I think half the
baby boomers in North America grew up with World Book... That should be a
big seller if they do it right.
If they're marketing it like Britannica, it must be too expensive!

Dear Friends,
At first, I'm writing from Brazil and my english isn't very good.
I've been having big troubles with my CD-Rom and my SoundBlaster Pro.
With softwares running under DOS everything is OK, but under Windows
it's a tragedy. With softwares in CD there's no problem but i can't
hear musical CD's. Everytime the Windows send me a message like :
"CD-Player (or MPlayer) CAUSED A GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT IN MODULE
MMSYSTEM.DLL AT 0005:3A6D" or,

Hi all!
I am getting started on a computer business here in my hometown, and would
like to find out who out there is interested in becoming a dealer for my
equipment, both hardware and software. I am looking for everything from
CD's to hard drives, to motherboards, basically anything someone might want
in the computer field I would like to supply, but I need to find someone to
supply them to me and I want to be able to give comptetive prices. I also
already have my resellers permit, so I can buy tax-free wholesale. If you
are interested, leave a message here, or call the number below, I am
currently running the business out of my home, so the phone number is sort
of a full time number (I.E. days, evenings, weekends, whenever). Thanks in
advance, and I hope to hear from some good vendors out there.
Thanks,
Greg

As far as the dates and number of files are concerned, I don't think I can
argue with you. However, the amount of data stored on the disk is debatable.
Anyone who has ever bought a hard drive knows that there are two different
definitions of the term "megabyte". There is the common usage of 1 million
bytes. This is commonly used by advertisers, not just because it makes the
disk look bigger, but because many people think that a meg is a million bytes,
and because nearly all the competition defines a meg this way. Of course, you
realize that a megabyte is actually 1024K, but that's not how it works in
advertising-speak. I've read this in tech/hard drive conferences, I can almost
recite it from memory.

What is its purpose? Are there people running CD-ROMs off of Vic 20's
here? I think perhaps 18-20 lines is more reasonable, with perhaps 15 to be
safe. What's the difference if its longer than 10 lines, provided it takes up
one screen. Besides, 10 lines max means you get multiple posts, each with its
own overhead, adding to the cost of moving the echo.

Not at all. It's arranged in minutes/seconds, and blocks. Rotational

There's basically three brands that are widely available.
Pioneer has several drives in the six and eighteen disc class, from 1x
to 4x speed. They range from about $650 to about $2000 in street price.
NLM (something like that, a German company) has a 100-disc unit (two
50-disc hinge-out towers, one on each side) and a drive that rides up
and down between them. It's around $10K I think (very round numbers).
There's also a Swiss company that has a rotating carousel-type unit in
the 250-300 disc class and that supports up to four-six drives all
active at once. I think that one is like $25K or something like that...
it's quite expensive.
MK>Requirements: At least double speed, SCSI, 600 to 680 Meg CD's.
MK>Maybe anybody can also tell me about prices and where to by them.
If you're willing to wait a little bit, Sony is working on a unit which
will probably be based on their 100-disc audio changer (the audio
version sells for less than $1000 in the USA, so hopefully they won't
get TOO greedy for the CD-ROM version).
After that, I've spoken with reps from several other companies (HP and
Iomega, among them) in hopes of getting them interested in jumping into
the market too. (HP already makes a line of more expensive optical disc
jukeboxes). And an IOMEGA unit could support both CD-ROMs and Bernoulli
cartridges (offering both read-only and read-write storage)... the sizes
of the cartridges (presuming CD-ROM caddies) are almost exactly the
same.
I think you can count on things getting rather wild and wooly over the
next few years... the current rather sadly uncompetitive state of
affairs in this area will NOT continue. :-)

...well, SORT of. Only if you have IRQs 3, 4, 5, and 6 all free. In a
pinch, one can free up 3 and 4 (but then you've generally got NO
IRQs for comm ports, which many sysops seem to often use for some
strange reason). IRQ 5 is pretty easy, that's LPT2 and most people
don't need it. But IRQ 6 is a bear, since that one's usually the
diskette controller! And most people aren't willing to reconfig their
whole system just to hook up a floppy drive when they need to read a
diskette. If whoever designed that card had a little more forethought,
they could have EASILY supported IRQ 7 (also, or even in place of IRQ
6). OR, if they'd designed the driver to support shared interrupts (but
it appears they didn't, unfortunately).
But in other respects, it's a nice drive! I just bought six of them
less than a week ago. :-)

People who buy a double-speed caddyless like the Panasonic for $150-180
aren't going to feel like they've been had. And people who buy the
Philips or Mitsumi single-speeds at $65-80 are in pretty good shape,
too. But anyone who buys a triple-speed for $500-650 is gonna feel like
they got reemed real good, when they see what they could have bought if
they'd waited a little.

Yeah, that's actually kinda neat. Just tap the volume control twice
(here, the book says "once") and it starts playing an audio disc, and
while playing you can tap the control again to advance to the next
track.

RA>Any comments or rebuttals anyone?
The description is basically accurate. The drive is also multisession
capable and meets MPC specs (but not MPC II of course). Note that the
only IRQs you can choose are 3,4,5,6. There are 4 I/O addresses
available (300h,310h,330h,340h). The interface card has L&R RCA phono
jacks on the back for audio connection to your stereo system.
I just bought six of these myself last week. ;-) ...but not from
Damark, I got mine from a wholesaler here in Paris. Dunno where all
these are coming from all of a sudden, but I'm sure glad they're doing
it!! :-)

CERTAINLY don't need to post essentially identical ads every two or

dealer should post the same (or essentially the same) price for any
given disc more than once every two or three weeks.
And the fact that somebody halfway around the world wants to sell their
used single copy of 7th Guest (or some other widely available title),
and somebody else wants to offer them $2 less than their asking price...
it's just plain stupid to ship and post those messages to thousands of

order a used copy of 7G from someone in Sydney!

Some of you dealers seem to forget that customers don't just exist to
BUY discs, some of us actually USE them too. And not only that, but a
lot of us judge how interesting a disc is (and whether we ought to buy
one for ourselves too) by the amount of traffic (and type of traffic)
that discusses that disc.
So I don't object at all to seeing hints and comments about game discs.
Everything in moderation! :-)

Any interface that will drive one Panasonic CR562-B (even a sound

cable with several connectors on it, and to ensure that the drives are
set to different unit numbers (there are jumpers on the back side of the

What's neat about the Panasonic controller cards I've seen is that you
can put 4 drives per card, and up to something like eight cards (!) in a
single PC (so you'll hit DOS number-of-drives limits before you hit the
limit of the CD-ROM subsystems). Since it needs neither IRQs nor DMA
channels, there's little likelihood of conflicts with other devices
(including more like itself).

SCSI costs about twice as much as non-SCSI, and frankly it's the
high-end drives that are likely to look like "dumb purchases" in six to
eighteen months.
As for the controller, if you buy a SCSI controller today you're just as
likely to have to buy a new controller if you someday get a non-ISA
machine, as you would be to have to replace an ISA-bus ATbus type
controller.
GC>you can always upgrade.
What does SCSI have to do with that? Not a lot, I think. Frankly, I
just don't think that the premium for SCSI drives is worth the cost.
It's not as if the drives need a super-high transfer rate!!

They'll be expensive when they first come out. Buying a high-end drive

It's not DOS 5.0, it's any version of DOS using a drive which needs the
System BIOS to support it. The System BIOS on a PC limits you to 1024
cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors per track, and 512 bytes per sector.
How do you get around it? Don't use the System BIOS support to run your
hard disk. Either select a hardware system that doesn't require it (such
as SCSI or enhanced IDE), use a special controller card that gets around
it, or use a software solution (such as Ontrack System's Disk Manager).

To the best of my knowledge, nothing like this is currently available. I did
read of a startup joint venture that is going to have such detailed information
available (detail down to the county level). I know that neither of the two
main players (MapInfo and Autocad) have this sort of capacity for China.
MapInfo does offer it's ADC Worldmap (available for its windows version only).
This is a four disk set which covers the world ($2,995). The Souther Asia
(which I am guessing includes China) disk costs $995. It includes 17 layers of
data (roads, bridges, population, etc. Information is also provided on data
quality information (date, source, scale).
Remember, that in addition to the above cost, you need the MapInfo basic
software ($1,300).
Hope this points you in the right direction.

The '93 is MPC (for Windows), and contains 7 reference works, including all the

Sorry to hear of your dilemma... however, it is typical of what happens.
You may wish to order from a Canadian distributor such as ourselves. We
remove the hidden charges which, as you know, can hit you hard. If you'd
like a copy of our Electronic Catalogue featuring nearly 2000 CD-ROM
titles (No Adult XXX), leave a message here, or download it from our BBS
at (905) 853-3210. Our prices rival the US... in fact, we now have a
good number of customers from the US because our prices are so good.
Later.

Call our BBS and download our Electronic Catalogue featuring nearly
2000 CD-ROM titles (no Adult XXX), plus great deals on hardware. It's
updated every Saturday. Canadians, we save you money by paying the
duty, brokerage fees, taxes and other nasty things that knock the
stuffing out of "the best deals" from the USA. And after all this, our
prices STILL rival those Stateside... that's why we have so many
American customers, as well. Check out some of our regular prices below.
For Example: Hobbes OS/2: $16.96 Canadian / $12.25 US
CICA Windows: 16.93 Canadian / 12.20 US
5' 10 Pack: 46.85 Canadian / 33.70 US

The HACKER CHRONICLES II will probably retail in the upper 20's or low

on volume I and is of 90's vintage. The front end program has also been
updated - a GREAT program that includes sound and animations...

neither of which my system has as of yet. How do these games rate?
Also, REVEAL offers a VC-500 video card that would probebly do the trick,
but not sure if it will go with my monitor or not. I have a PB 8541VGG.
Anyone know if I HAVE to upgrade my monitor now with this card (I plan

Hey Rainer,
An alternative to jewel cases or tyvex 5.25in disc sleeves are some very
unique plastic envelopes developed specifically for CD's that do NOT scratch
the CD! These envelopes have a fiber material that protects the disc face and
is non-abrasive. My company ships all of the CD's we produce in these
envelopes. They are super compact and extremely light weight. They come in
seven colors including clear and will hold one disc and one or two inserts
depending on which version you buy.
Generally they are:
$0.75 -- 25 pack
$0.55 -- 50 pack
$0.45 -- 100 pack
add $1.00 shipping per 25. If you would like a few of these beasts give me a
call at 1-800-234-7344.

my system with that too, presently i have a PRO AUDIO SPECTRUM 16,
I like it, it has a SCSI interface, so any SCSI CDROM or HD drive will
work with, of course if you have the right driver. It's also not
necessary to have your CD ROM interfaced with the soundcard, just
use the audio output with proper cabling, as such you can still use
your present card, however some Sony's and Panasonics will work
fine with your present SB Pro. If you use SCSI host adaptor, that
will allow you 7 devices on a single card utilizing only a single slot
in your system, a slot saver and live saver perhaps later for sure,
some of the cards Adaptec, In200, Future Domain, DTC, Control Concepts,
(there cards are new with 4 serial, 2P, IDE interface plus SCSI
interface, sounds like a great card, good warranty too, i will be
getting one too as soon as i find employment and upgrade, my son hogs
my system, but he is learning, a 5 year old)
RL> keep that and transfer it to my new system? Thanks for any help. -RCL
The option is yours, i guess it also depends on the monetary situation.
I hope this was helpfull to you......

It sounds like you need to install the aproriate drivers for Windows. Give
that a try and I think that it will work for you. It is in the windows under
applications and then a box called drivers. Consult you manual on what you
should be setting up with windows.
Good luck.

With a !6 bit card here are the resolutions that you should be looking for:
320 X 200 128K
640 X 480 614K
800 X 600 960K
1024 X 768 1572K
1280 X 1024 2621K
All figures are approximate. 1MB = 1024K
Then pick the highests resolution that your monitor can handle look for a card
based on that fact.Next you will have to determine what type of applications
you will use most. Window, DOS or a combination of the two. If you are a
windows fanatic then choose an accelerator card. If you want both then try a
card that is based on the S# chip ( Like the Diamond Stealth).
You also can consider what tyoe of RAM you want with your card VRAM or DRAM.
VRAM (Video) is more expensive but is dual ported and can write to the screen
while reading in more information from the memory. DRAM can't but many
manufacturers use buffering to achieve almost the same results as VRAM. This
means that VRAM is slightly faster when the card is pushed to the limits but is
probably not worth the extra dollars (about $100).
Hope that helps.
Keep in touch.

Hello Pierre!
PL> > PL> What about shipping in Quebec, Canada?
PL> > UPS Ground - $16.00 Express Mail - $25.00
PL> Can you send it via regular US mail?
NO, but I wish I could. I have wrestled with the publisher to
impliment a more cost effective manner in which to ship to
our Canadian customers, but to no avail. Perhaps in the future
we will be able to find better alternatives, especially in view
of the fact that I will remain relentless on this issue.
PL> Think about it, for your foreign customer, it would
PL>be creat to do future business at low shipping cost.
Pierre, I think about it every time I get a reply from a prospective
Canadian customer voicing, what is a common gripe with our system.
Let me just say that I do appreciate your interest, and maybe
we will be able to do business in the future.

He he! Well, to put them all in a nutshell, the pics range from
individuals involved in accidents, torture and crime victims,
amputations, decapitations and other photographs in the same vein.
If one was to look for a common thread to these, I guess I would
have to say "shocking", or that they all are shock provoking.
Not suggested that any of these pics are viewed either before or
after meal time.

WKM>BBS program check the CD Rom that is in the Rom Dirve and if it is Not Repo
WKM>to the Online user...CD Rom Offline?
Hmmm, I'm guessing that you are referring to the MegaDoor program....
Let me get with our development staff and see what they say about this.
WKM>Also how about making it so it can tell
WKM>what CD Rom is in the drive and Accessing the appropriate BBSFILES.LST for
WKM>that CD?
Good idea, I'll pass this along as well.
WKM>Any Plans to make Mega BBS compatible with CD Rom's other then
WKM>Profit Press? I think it's alot better then Brainex, but is limited!
I don't think so. Our intention in providing MegaDoor on the CD's
is to provide a product that is full circle. It's a good door
program that you don't have to register in order to receive full
functionality (Same story with MegaFile, the files.bbs generator).
For us to develop a separate product that would interface with
All the available shareware CD's on the market would shift our
objective of providing the highest quality CD-ROM's at the best
price available. Who knows though, we are very flexible and have
already developed a few commercial CD-ROM drive BenchMark and Test
programs.....
Take Care Wesley,

Well, I did say you "still have to treat them with some care," Rainer.
I certainly do -- "with some care." I handle them carefully and only
by the edges and such to avoid fingerprints. I watch where I put them,
and never place anything on top, etc. Just general care. If there
were kids around, I'd probably consider buying a caddy machine for
them and their discs. Caddies are nice in a case like that or for
library use of any kind, I think.
RV>Of the audio
RV>CDs I borrow from the local library, about 1 in 20 has a gross defect, like
RV>skipping or an entire track being mute. So I feel it is necessary to treat
RV>CDROMs as well as I treat my audio CDs, and not "downgrade" my kindness to
the
RV>levels of less careful library patrons.
That is interesting. It will now be interesting to see what happens when
libraries start lending CD-ROM as does Compton's through one of the
U.S. video chains. I've been writing about CD-ROM for about five years
now. One of the publications I do stuff for is the Canadian CD-ROM News
published by the Canadian Library Association. I think they will be
wondering as well.
BTW, I have a couple of hundred CD-ROM discs, some going back about
five years. I haven't run into a problem with any of them yet. Cheers!

The Linux Quarterly CDROM contains everything you need to start using Linux
on your PC. The operating system must be installed to either a raw non-DOS
partition, or it can also be installed to a regular DOS partition, assuming
you have enough space. Installing to a DOS partition is a convenient, albei
not completely optimum means of doing this. You lose some speed, though not
much, while you gain convenience (not having to create another partition.)
This version will not run directly from the CDROM. The next version of the
CDROM will do this. This, also, is not ideal. Very few drives are capable
of reading and seeking the drive fast enough for acceptable operations.
The NEC 3x appears to be a good choice for this type of operations.
Kind regards,
Hayden Bradshaw

BH**I don't mean disc's like Night Owl's, but disc's with only the absolute lat
BH**shareware and it should be enough with 50-100 Megs on the disc.
BH**It should come out about 1-2 times each month.
BH**The idea with this type of disc should be to fill the gap between
BH**distribution by modems and distribution by standard shareware CD-ROM.
BH**The cost should not be more than a normal CD-ROM.
We sell the Public (software) Library -- PsL CD-of-the-Month... out of
the nearly 2000 CDs we sell, it is the *only* one that offers what
you're looking for. This monthly CD contains usually 800-900 programs
for DOS and Windows in all categories, i.e. Applications, Utilities,
Games, etc., etc., all received within 30 days of going to CD. The
programs will automatically install from either DOS or Windows. It also
comes with screenshots of a number of the programs to give you a
look-see before you install them. The PsL News Magazine is included in
electronic format, which provides you with info on every program
contained. It's kind of the Shareware Industry's "Bible".
Additionally, PsL includes a different "theme" each month from their
existing library. January and July features Games; February & August -
Business; March & September - Home; April & October - Utilities; May &
November - Words, Sounds and Graphics; June & December - Programming. So
you get anywhere from 1000 - 3000 theme-related programs in addition to
the latest software! As I mentioned... there's nothing else like it.
You can try out any month's issue for $30.00 Canadian + $3.50 S/H. We
also offer a monthly subscription (cancellable anytime) for only $25.00
Canadian + $3.50 S/H anywhere in North America. We automatically bill
your Credit Card monthly when we ship. (I just noticed your
tagline says Sweden... insured 1st class Air Mail to Sweden is about
$6.00 Canadian.)
If you're looking for quality, current, non-crippled shareware, without
duplications, and no BBS ads, or other "junk" then PsL is the one!
Give me a call at: (905) 830-1615 or Fax: (905) 830-4254.

Yes indeed -- according to the press kit that came this morning

everything. I prefer my own trials and errors so I'll get one
soonest, I guess.
Yes EB does have a CD-ROM, but not quite the way you mean it. It is
two discs that have to be loaded to an HD. Takes almost a Gig. And
they only rent/lease on an annual basis. It, and the price, is really

Hi guys! I know exactly what you mean about the added costs! I still order
many things via mail order from U.S. companies, though only if they ship
through U.S. Mail, preferably U.S. Priority service, because since U.S. Mail
is processed by Canada Post and say what you will about them, they only
charge five bucks plus any duties (usually there aren't supposed to be any
since NAFTA & most of the stuff like cd-roms are made in the U.S.) plus the
grab'em and stab'em tax }:-( Sure beats the fifteen bucks and up that the
couriers charge to just look at your package! And many times i've gotten
stuff delivered that went right through without any charge at all! So, if
you're not importing for commercial purposes use the good old government run
postal service and save a few bucks <grin>.
P.S.: To any U.S. mail-order companies ==> when shipping to Canada use the
U.S. Postal Service, you'll have much happier customers than if you ship via
the other couriers!

Well, the microscope puzzle is the hardest puzzle.. And any help we give you
may not be any good.. Because the moves are always RANDOMLY chosen! <sorry>
I do have a cheat file for it that can be followed if the first three moves

Indeed, something very "fishy" in this waters <g>. I order stuff from the
US all the time but never paid 100%+ over the listed US price before. Besides
the exchange rate, gst, brokerage and shipping, there shouldn't be anything
else.
One thing I learn from some US suppliers, watch out for those shipping/
handling charges... esp. if you're buying from 10,000 miles away, I'd rather
stick with those nearer to home, sa. WA or OR stores.
Btw- I hope no one pays more than $30CDN for 6 CDs cuz I bought a rear
spoiler (* for a car *) that weighs more than 10lbs from CA and it cost only
$25 via UPS Gnd (2 days).

As for faster ... I've heard that most disks don't access the
additional speed over 2X (games, interactive). Tho, it might be
usefull if for personal use on shareware bbs type cd disks. I'm
just learning about faster drives, so my word on this is definitely

Your sound blaster card plugs into an AT type slot (16 bit)
The SB has a CD-ROM data cable connector (about 40 pins) near the front edge
of the card. This carries the CD players video images and audio that is
associated with a game or multimedia product. NOTE: according to the
instructions that came with my SB, this connector only works with the
Matsushita CR-521 CD player.
There is also a CD-IN connector (4 pins) that is meant to attach to your CD
player if you want to route audio CD's from the music store through your
SB. This is closer to the back of the card (the edge with the connectors
that stick out the back of your computer) near the top (farthest from the
AT bus pins that stick into your computer).
The "getting started" booklet that should have come with your SB has
pictures to help you with this, as well as some info about setting
Interrupt jumpers (IRQ's) and DMA jumpers. Fortunately, the factory
standard settings worked ok for me.
Good Luck, and write again if you still have problems.

No. The idea behind modem deals for sysops is that when a sysop uses a
modem, his users will likely follow suit (better connects, you know?). This
took off bigtime when there were competing 9600+ standards and no clear winner.
There would be no advantage to a company giving discounts to sysops on hard
drives or CD-ROMs. Our net does group purchases, but the discounts aren't much
more substantial than you'd find in the Computer Shopper. And it's only
available for locals.

Whatever that number is (depending on your definition of a megabyte), it
is the IDE interface that gives that limitation. Special drivers (like the one
with the WD Caviar 540) can give you more if your drive has the capacity.
People with 1.2 gig HDs probably have SCSI drives and interfaces.

Well, you could use a program that plays CD audio, and listen to the
horrible noises it'll produce! Other than that, I doubt you'd get anything out
of it. Even if the disks had a comparable format, the actual data is in an
alien formats. You think Sega uses GIFs and WAVs on their cartridges? Would
they have filenames on their CD ROMS? Nope.
As an interesting side bar, the Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia
that came with my Creative Edutainment bundle has some stereo CD audio tracks.
The interesting part is that they put different sounds in each tracks. So you
have FDR in one speaker, and some actor playing Lincoln in the other. My
favorite sound byte in there is when Stars and Stripes Forever plays in one
channel while a monkey makes suggestive noises in the other.

I'll give you a hint. If Untwist is the opposite of Twist, how would you
play the draught? I was totally stumped on this, and was employing a brute
force technique (all possible combinations) when my eight year old nephew
embarrassed me by figuring it out with logic and a bit of creativity.

Well it has been almost 2 weeks now since my Panasonic CR562-b CD-ROM
died. I have called Panasonic 3 times at my expense and they just won't
return my calls. I don't know what to do to get this thing fixed. I
don't want to just send it to them since they probably won't accept it
without a RMA#.
Has anyone had to have one of these drives fixed? What did you do to get
them to honor the waranty? Do you have a number of someone I can call at
Panasonic who will actually take some action?
I will never buy another Panasonic product again and will tell anyone I
know not to either. I'm going to make a bulletin for my BBS so all my
callers will know what type of service this company provides.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I'm looking for the BBS number of NEC Technologies, so I can d/l a update to
my CD-ROM driver(s). Here's my tale of woe:
I picked up this unit from Tiger Software (motto: delay shipping as long as
possible) and installed it in my Gateway 386/25. It seems to do okay as long
as I leave the drive empty when booting up...otherwise, it spins up, the BUSY
light goes on, and the whole system hangs. The SCSI board I got to go with it
is an 8-bit NEC model (the chip in it is labeled FUTIRE DOMAIN), with a 25-pin
female RS-232 connection. I think that the driver that I'm using is a bit
dated, as the manual states that, on boot, it should identify the device and
logical unit (it does), then list the adapter number, base address, memory
address, and IRQ. There's a way to set the memory address & IRQ, but no switch
that I can locate to set the base address.
Also, the documentation claimed that the card wanted IRQ5, so I provided it,
and when I run CheckitPRO, the SCSI software (PowerSCSI!) is listed for it, but
the SCSI board isn't shown as taking the IRQ.
All in all, it's a nice unit, but I'd like the software to allow me a little
more flexibility.
Thanks to all,
Doug

Does any one know of people in the Bible Society or similar institutions who
could be approached about producing Bibles on disk in various languages?
Phillip Pare, a former user of my BBS, has suggested the possibility of
producing a CD ROM (multimedia?) with the text of the Bible in all the various
South African languages, together with dictionaries, grammars and speech
synthesisers. This would, for example, enable blind people to hear the Bible in
their own language, and would also help translators and interpreters.
Any comments? Ideas? Suggestions?

I manage min warehouse properties, so find my fair share of junk. I watched a
U-haul truck hit an audio cd with front and back wheels while on concrete, out
of a jewel box, bouncing as it happened, and it is one of my favorite discs
that I listen to almost every day. Not a skip yet. I know it is probably a
minor miracle that I have no problems, because there are several serious
looking scratches, but they are tough, I have to agree.

Sounds interesting. Though I don't understand why you have them priced as high
as the jewel cases -- the going price being about 50 cents each for a jewel
case from many of the CD-ROM dealers who advertise here, and $1.00 each in
places like CompUSA, with no minimum purchase of 25 required. Other than
keeping down postage costs, how are they better than a jewel case?

I know just the place your looking for. J & D Distributing. I
will get the address and phone number and post it tomorrow. Their CD
prices have just lowered from 69.00 a piece to 20.00 dollars a piece for
most. You can rent them for a test drive and they are honest folks to
work with. The data is not all inclusive as most geneological
information is not. Try a couple first before you buy is my
recommendation.

They have Marriage Records, Social Security Death Benefit, Land
Records, Birth and Death Records, Pedigree & Histories, Census Index
Records. They also have a new CD out called a Master Index which will
show if an ancestors name is on any of their CD's. New CD's are on the
way that will have actual Census instead of just an index. When they
were 69.00 I was a bit cautious in purchases but for 20.00 for most disk
I can get some that I wanted but could not justify. It does take a
while to get use to using them and running searches. I am preparing a
copy of my PAF file to send to them for inclusion on a new family
pedigree disk they will be making. It is a combined effort of three
researchers over a period of 5 years. I hope others will do the same as
sharing research material can really make a difference. Good Luck. Tell
them that Tom Cotton in Arkansas sent you.

I have a Mitsumi double speed drive, a sound blaster pro MCD hooked up to a
pentium and I can get only partial performance on some CD's most notably Lost
In Time. There is another problem in that I can not play a music cd with this
setup (no sound at all). Any help would be appreciated.

You should start by getting the correct interface for your Mitsumi
CD drive. The soundblaster pro only controls the panasonic brand
of cd drives. If you don't have the card that should have come
with the drive, you can get on from Golden Sound that will control
a sony, panasonic, or mitsumi. They're cheap too! Good luck.

The symbols are in this order:
1: The cresent (horn) like thing that is upside down (both ends facing down)
2: The symbol with a triangle pointing down then a rectangle in the middle
and on the right a triangle pointing up.
3: This symbol is three triangles pointing up at a round ball.
4: The last symbol is a semi-circle with the flat side the the right.
Hope that helps with this problem. If you have anymore questions

Me? NEAT? You haven't seen my desk ... :-)
Actually, I haven't seen it for quite a while either. It's under here
_somewhere_ ...
Which is why I've been concerned about having something to enclose the disks
and protect them from the Great Masses of Shifting Papers.
Ever seen what happens to a 5.25" floppy when it gets bent at a 30-degree angle
from a wayward manual? It's not pretty.

Your SBPro can act as an interface board for Matsushita CR-521, 562, and
563 drives. All others are no go. This drive is also often referred to
as "Panasonic", and is sold under a number of brand names: Reveal,
LaserMate, Creative Labs. Check the box to see if the SBPro can act as
the interface boards...if you don't see that on the box, it probably is
not compatible.

Yeah. That last one was the icing on the cake. After I'd paid EVERY thing
else; then they want 20 bucks at customs. I don't know if it was more because
it was adult stuff, but either way a 120 percent mark-up overall is ridiculous.
I was bloody fuming when I got that final slip! I called the help number and
was ready to raise quite a load of you know what; but then I figured, 'oh well.
I've paid this much. 20 more bucks ain't going to kill me'. I wish I knew what
I was getting into before I ordered.

With Myst it doesn't matter what order you do things in for the most part. You
don't have to do the ages in any particular order or anything. To get out of
the age you're in, you have to empty the water from the lighthouse (by useing
the thing that looks like an umbrella stand) go into the lighthouse, down the
steps on your left. You close the valce on the chest after emptying the water
and go to the top again, fill the lighthouse with water, open the chest with
the key when the chest floats to the top, get the other key and open the second
lock, turn on the lighthouse by turning the wheel, go down either of the sets
of stairs but only halfway. At this point, you will find a secret passage in
the wall. The stairs should be lit by this point. Go into the secret passage,
and you'll find a big thing that looks like a star. Press the button located
by the right lower red star and a light will come on. Return to the surface
and empty the water from the room within the boat. Go down and you'll find the
myst book that returns you to the original age. Bring either of the pages with
you and put them in the approprate books in the library. You'll have to get
both of them eventually. I just passed the game myself and I thought it was
great. I'm looking forward to the sequel.
Happy mysting!

It varies, the majority I've seen are packed in jewel cases but a few folks
cut
corners and pack them in (usually Tyvek) sleeves or envelopes of some sort.
>If so, what's the best way to do this?
Buy spare Jewel Cases and put the CD-ROMs in those where a Jewel Case isn't
already included....

Depends on the software - stuff that does a LOT of CD-ROM big file access WILL
benefit from the increased speed.
I'd drop that salesperson from ANY future consideration, as they do NOT know
what they are talking about.
BTW - if the speed of a drive was dependent on software, Hard Drives would be
a
LOT slower than they currently are....

Thanks for the detialed response! I only have a VGA (not multi-freq)
monitor, but I won't own it forever. . . So, for now all I'm looking for
is a 640 x 480 x 256 mode that doesen't crawl by. Right now, with a 256
color wallpaper in Windows, whenever I load a graphic image you can
watch each hires screen redraw itself. . . and if I have like 3 windows
with 256 color images in them, changing from one to another can be cause
to go whip up a sandwich durring the wait (slight exagration). Anyway,
I'm kinda looking at the Diamond Stealth 24 ISA w/ 1MB DRAM. I can get
one for a little less than $150. It's 1280 x 1024 mode is interlaced,
but I won't be using it for awhile, anyway. . .
Are you familiar with this card, or could you possibly suggest an
alternate suggestion? I could sure use the help. . .
Thanks!

I have a quick cd drive question...
I have a Matsushita CD-ROM drive which came pre-installed on my Packard
Bell MPC. I primarily use it for listening to music in the background
while I work, and I need to know...
If I want to play a CD single in the drive (unlikelyu, but might happen)
will I need a CD-single adaptor or will they play without error?
Thanks,

Well, you could always buy from a Canadian dealer next time. At
least then you know up front what it will cost, even if it is higher
than the US prices <smile>.

Can someone tell me if I can just add a CD-ROM into my system, or should I
get a full Multimedia Upgrade Kit?
I currently have a 386DX-40mhz with 4 meg of RAM, 250 meg HD, 14.4 modem,
and the original Sound-Blaster card. I have been told that I can just put a
CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will work fine. But I have
also been told that if I do that I won't be able to play audio CD's and
listen to them through the sound card (like when in Windows and working on
something having the CD playing in the background), and I have been told
that the sound won't always work correctly (depending on who I talk to).
Now I like the sound I get from my Sound-Blaster and I know a SB-Pro or SB16
would sound even better, but I can't quite financially afford to add them
both at this m
