I like this^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
anyway, where do you get ver 9.0 from???? I like to have the latest stuff.
I'm sure you have tried different mice, but how about a different serial port?
or how about a PS/2 mouse? you can buy PS/2 port card, my motherboard has one
built in. Try to find something in commen with you and the other person who is
having the problem. (Same serial card maker? Ya, I know one is a 486dx66 and
your's is ancient, but serial cards haven't changed much.
I'm sure you've tried calling Borderbound Tech support, I'll see If I can find
a BBS number for them......maybe they have a fix or something.
Good Luck.

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

Can't help ya... but the reason why you can't find the answer in the

If you or anyone is looking to buy a simple single-speed CD Rom go to
your local Radio Shack store and ask them if they or any of them stock
the CDR 1000 internal model. This is an item that when it first came
out several years ago it retailed for $400.00. With the advent of the
multi-speed roms this "dinosaur" was discontinued at R.S. and the price
is now $49.97. I bought one and it works PERFECTLY!!!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am just getting into CDROM's. I have been trying to study about
the Shareware discs. I have bought a few of them but there seems to
be a great difference between them.
Is there certain ones which have a better reputation as better ones?
I mean it seems in many products, there seems to be the higher
grades ones. They always cost more, but they can be depended on to
give more.
I have been reading about Night Owl 13 and the Pier 5 in many posts.
Why do these two seem to be mentioned more than others?
Is there a way to learn of these things?
It is sort of confusing. Normally, a software program is by itself.
It is either accepted by the majority as good, fair or junk.
but a CDROM disk can contain thousands of programs... so how does
one judge such a thing? Or can one?
I am just trying to get some information in order to learn.
I would like to just read what anyone has to say regarding this
subject..
Thank you...

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

I know several people who may be interested, but because it's housing
a 68020, I'd guess it was pretty old. If you give me a ballpark

want it to cannibilize.

Andrew, they are about equal in performance, with the same 300k
throughput, where Mitusmi has a 32k cache and faster 280ms access
time, and Panasonic with a 64k cache and 320ms access time. Both
work fine with OS/2 and Windows.
We currently have a special on Philips 2x spin drives with
controllers for $175cdn, plus taxes and shipping.
We also have the Philips 2x spin drive with a Pro Audio Spectrum
card for $240cdn.

Hi Howard.... Why concern... about the serial number... if the stuff
will work against DOA...
and Thanks for your concern anyway just that
you are comparing with 1 Giga with 4.2 giga....
like an apple with an orange... SO probably I got your point
4.2 gig... how much in the market????
I think there isn't much out there... right?
SO are you interested???

Are you running a swap file? A.K.A. virtual RAM? That will help the

For DOS access, you will need a low level CD-ROM driver for your

You could get one from Adaptec or use Corel SCSI.

Try "STEALS" on Merivale Rd. (Ottawa) they have CD's selling at

I'm familair with three of them. The earliest is also the most useless; it is
marketed by Buckmaster, and is far too expensive for the crappy way they go
about presenting the listings. Sam's is another, and is the one many PBBSs tie
in for automatic lookups. The one I use in my shack is QRZ!, which comes out
more often, is easiest to use, and includes a ton of useful other information.
Nearly all of the dealers advertising here handle it, and rare is the hamfest
that doesn't have a number of folks with it. The hamfest at Findlay, Ohio
today had 3 different dealers with QRZ!; none of them had, or said they
carried, the Sam's or Buckmaster.

Subj: mouse driver for doom Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I was wondering if anybody could help me with Doom. I got Doom on a CD about a
week ago but I am having some trouble with it. I have a 486-25 sx with 6 meg
of RAM in it and a 2x CD-ROM Drive and a 16 bit soundblaster. I installed Doom
onto my hard drive(the whole program, I think) by just following the
directions. I have to reboot my machine to make it run and I hold the left
shift key down while MS-DOS (6.2) is loading. This gives me a bare bones boot.
Doom will start up and run this way, for about one level. I then load MS Mouse
driver (8.2) and then run doom. A list of
configurations scroll down the screen and when it gets to mouse (I like to use
my mouse for control) it says:
Mouse Detected,
Error --- No SWIFT Support
The game starts up and it works for about a level or so. Then it starts
shooting or doing something crazy if i even just move my mouse. It usually
locks up my machine shortly after that. What is going on? What is SWIFT
Support? Does anybody know of a mouse driver with SWIFT Support? Any help
appreciated.

-> How much RAM is necessary to run new CD-ROMs? The magazine demo programs
Hi Elizabeth!
Well, the machine necessary depends on the CD-ROM, and the kind of quality
you want. 8 Meg would be unusual, but I guess not unheard of.
-> Do you think Photo CD images will replace Gifs?
They're not really competing... GIFs are a well established, viewable form
of compression for images, and Photo CD seems to be more of an end-user
product... I can't see the need for either completely diminishing, but that's
pure speculation on my part.
-> IBM has a free offer for OS/2 on CD, and there are some business demos
-> advertised of a presentation program from Vancouver and a demo of a mapping

-> Pro finds system conflicts.
->
-> PC Magazine Sept 13 Trends page has a prediction from Bill Gross of

I took that to be a tongue-in-cheek statement :)

Vince, the /D parameter in your config.sys that loads the CD-ROM device driver

BTDOSM.SYS just loads the CD-ROM device driver, but it needs the /D parameter
to tell MSCDEX how to identify the cd-rom drive.
E.g. in config.sys - DEVICE=\BTDOSM.SYS /P334 /D:MSCD000.
in autoexec.bat - C:\DOS\MSCDEX /D:MSCD000 etc...
I hope this helps, I seem to be confusing myself...

Hi Matt,
I just recently bought a CD-rom I was a little bit dissapointed to find that I
didn't enjoy most games as much as I enjoy disk games, they seem to lack
gameplay!. But great if your into interactive and adventure games, I'm sure the
CD-ROM market will pick-up soon when the game designers realize how much
gameplay than can cramm into 650 megs! Anyway I would recomend buying a double
speed drive, single speed is total crap and triple speed pretty expensive
considering there only what 150kb faster! I'd also recomend buying
a creative labs CD-ROM drive as there fully compatible with sound blaster and
you can pick one up pretty cheap too!
I hope this narrows down your choice a bit.

VC> Can anyone help me. What's the correct parameter? Do I

All you need to do is to specify a TAGNAME for the CD-ROM device on both
the Driver and MSCDEX command lines. Often, the driver's switch is
/D:<devname>, but your's seems to use /D for a status display (odd).
Try this:
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICEHIGH = C:\BTDOSM.SYS /P334 /D:NECCDR00
AUTOEXEC.BAT
LOADHIGH C:\MSDOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:NECCDR00 /E /M:24 /L:D
It could also be that BTDOSM.SYS is -not- the driver for the CDROM at all,
it merely being the ASPI Interface layer. This would explain why the /D
paramater is not as it should be.
In this case, you will need a copy of NECCDR.SYS (an actual CDROM Driver),
and this will also have to be loaded in CONFIG.SYS, along with (after)
BTDOSM.SYS.
If NECCDR.SYS (or something equivalent) isn't anywhere to be found, ring
the supplier again and ask for the proper driver disk.

JA> couple of questions:
JA> 1) Can I daisy chain another drive off this one?
Yes
JA> 2) If so, what brand
Same as what it came with.
JA> 3) If not, can I run a different brand off my SB16 card?
No, I dont think so.
There is a Multi CD version but dont know if it allows you to mix brands, I
doubt it.

I have a similar configuration. I think the problem is to do with the
speed of your video card. 7th guest is really demanding on video.
The install program will let you choose two different levels of graphics.
Choose the lower level. Resolution is reduced, but the game then runs OK.

Actually, with the latest versions of each, they produce pretty much
identical compressed filesizes. I think the reason they use ZIP is
because that is the standard used on the internet, and a lot of those
files may be originally sourced from FTP sites. Thats just my gues BTW.

Well, it makes really no difference... except you save a slot. The only
time it would be is if you get a drive with a SCSI connector. Then,
you'd get better throughput etc. with a SCSI controller card compared to
a SCSI connector on a sound card. If your getting a CD that conforms to
the SB, SONY, PANISONIC, standard, the soundblaster is fine. My CD is
hooked up to my SB16 and they work great.

Your best bet would be to go with either Compton's Multimedia
Encyclopedia or The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia. They are
basically the same, (i've had them both) it's really a decision of
personal taste on which one to choose. If you buy either through a
store (i.e., CompUSA) or mail order, expect to pay close to $100. How
ever, if you go to a computer show near you, you can pay as little as
$39.

The tech support at Media Vision recommended 307A as the driver to use with

I have also been told by tech support that the bad thru put on my NEC might
be do to early version of the model. Your serial number on the drive indicat
the version (the letter at the end), NEC will if the drive is still under
warrenty(sp?) replace the firm ware with the newest version. BUT it will take
about four WEEKS.
BTW I am using 3.07A.EXE that I downloaded off of Media Vision bulletin
noard. It didn't change the thru put (278-288 KBS).

No problem. I will be getting into Orlando airport on Friday at 7:00pm. So,
I will probably call you the next morning. You will have to give me a few

Strange. That sounds more like the software driver name and version, not the
hardware model number. Normally the software driver ends with an "x" to show
it works with more than one specific hardware model drive. Is that what's
actually printed on the white label on the top of the drive?
It sounds like your drive may be the same as a Panasonic CR-563, and therefore
should be daisy chainable. Panasonic is a division of Matsushita (as is Sony,
and several other brands).
For identification, some physical characteristics of the Panasonic CR-563-B
drive (which IS chainable) is no caddy required, a tapered beveled upper and
lower edge on the front of the disk drawer, and a tapered lower edge on the
drawer opening. Under the drawer there's a "PHONES" jack on the left, then a
knurled "VOL" edge mounted knob (numbered 10 thru 0), followed by a
rectangular "BUSY" LED. On the bottom-right of the front panel is a
rectangular EJECT" pushbutton. To the left of the button is a small, round
hole for inserting a paperclip if the drive won't open electronically.
Most importantly, on the rear of the drive there should be a jumper block with
four possible positions. If so, you should be in business. Place one drive's
jumper in position one (the default), another in position two, etc.
Snap up to three additional IDE connectors to your ribbon cable for the
additional drives.
The manufacturer's driver (in Config.Sys) should sense the additional drives
without any additional command-line parameters, as will MSCDEX.Exe (assuming
you're using MS-DOS). With MSCDEX you can specify the drive letter assigned
to the first CD-ROM drive by using the "/L:x" parameter, where "x" is your
choice of drive letter (subsequent CD-ROM drive letters will be incremented
from that using available drive letters).

If you use a Pro Audio Spectrum soundcard to connect your CD rom only
software polling will actually work. Any other soundcards I don't know.
If you use the controller card that came with the drive DMA should
work, and you may have a conflict with another card that uses the same
channels. In that case try removing all other cards, en reinstall them
one by one, so you can figure out which one is causing the difficulties.
BTW: using the controller in stead of a PAS card speed operations up by
only about 5%.

Sorry for the off-topic, but this is the only one international echo area
I can reach.
I'm planning a holliday to London by the end of October, so I'd like to know
if someone living there can help me find somewhere to sleep for about 15 days,
I mean helping me with phone numbers to hotels and so on... I'm planing to
travel on the cheap way, so I'm thinking about Hostelling on one of the 7
youth hostels there, but I'd also like to know about cheap hotels (think
about that 25 Pounds would be VERY EXPENSIVE for me :-) , hostelling costing
about 10 pounds the expensive ones.
What I don't like from the hostels is that I have to go to another one after
3 days, so I'd like to find a cheap hotel I can stay all 2 weeks.
Well, thanks a lot and sorry for the off-topic again.
Oh!, I forgot, I'm travelling from Spain! :-)

larger cache, usually 250K or over. Some of them also have other features

What a crock that Broderbund BBS is. They only turn the BBS

allow 24 hour access???)
Anyway, after finally connecting during working hours, I
looked through every file they had -- NOTHING about Arthur or
Grandma. Tons of stuff about their Print Shop delux, Carmen San
Diego etc. but not one word about these two.
I've just decided that no more Broderbund stuff for me till I
change to a different machine. Not going to worry about it
anymore.

I was told by the guy who sold me my computer it works better for your cd=rom

Hi All!
A friend's searching the following driver:
CD-ROM Panasonic Mod. CR521-B /single speed.
He says that this driver works together with the SB pro 4 card. This means the
controller is on the Sound-board. He hasn't got a seperate controller for the
panasonic drive.
The actual name of the driver should be : SBCDU.SYS - He's got the problem that
the version he got can't read any Photo-Cd's.
Thanks for any information or Node-ID where I can request the new driver for
him.

MH> others?
Like Cream of the Crop... Night Owl and Pier have up to date
files whereas many other cd's are made by copying files off
of previously released cd's. Here is a sample of the average
file dates of the latest releases of those 3 cd's:
The average file dates:
Cream 4 ... May 10, 94 ...pressed 7-28-94
Owl 13 ... May 9, 94 ...pressed 7-28-94
Pier 5 ... May 6, 94 ...pressed 8-10-94
Files in common bytes in common
Cream 4 and Owl 13 707 133 k
Cream 4 and Pier 5 660 120 k
Owl 13 and Pier 5 1,393 226 k
MH> Is there a way to learn of these things?
Yes... 1. Buy them all and determine what you personally like.
2. Read this conference and ask questions like what is
the dupe rate and average file date.
Here are some extra tips: Look for shareware cd's that are up
to vol. 3 or higher... not that there isn't room for more
quality shareware cd's in the market but it appears that no one
has made a second shareware cd that didn't get started at least
2 or 3 years ago. Also remember these names ...it is personal
opinion that they are the best:
Cream of the Crop - the best because I make it and put the kind
of files on it that I like.
And the following:
(In alphabetical order so I won't offend anyone)
Monster Media
Night Owl
Pier
Shareware Studio
Software Vault
Even if I didn't make a cd and have the desire to see what the
competition was up to... I would still get every shareware disc
that the companies above had released for my bbs. Even when
some have a duplication rate of 1,500 to 2,000 files they still
usually have at least 2,000 or 3,000 quality files that are
unique and that still makes them worth $20 - $25.
MH> but a CDROM disk can contain thousands of
MH> programs... so how does one judge such a thing? Or can one?
It depends on what you want. In real estate the three most
important factors are 1. Location 2. Location 3. Location
With shareware the most important factor is almost always the
file dates... it is expensive and VERY time consuming to collect
new shareware and the latest updates from thousands of shareware
authors who are distributing through several hundred different
channels.
The next most important factor is the category of programs you
are interested in (what is on the disc). Some shareware cd's
may contain megs and megs of worthless gif file (to help fill
it up) or a ton of utilities for Pcboard or other bbs unique
files that have no value to 98% of the population. ...BUT you
may be looking for unique programs... a company named CMS has
carved out quite a market for itself in specializing in offering
harder to find programs that rarely even make their own category
on most cd's ...like Visual Basics, Science and Math or other
highly technical categories.
Finally there is the price factor. Some shareware cd's cost
about half as much as others but the average file date is a few
months behind. On a more positive note, these cd's are usually
less likely to contain copywrited material and the programs that
go on them are usually more carefully scrutinized for hacks and
other stuff that virus scans can't turn up.

Well, I think either I missed something or you missed something.. But
my problem was the SCSI portion of the PAS card (or possibly the drive
itself) conflicting with my GUS card. You do know what a GUS is right?
Well anywayz, first, my PAS is set at 388h, IRQ10, DMA3. The GUS is
set at 230h, IRQ11 and IRQ5 (it needs 2), DMA 1 and DMA 1 (it needs 2 too).
My problem is, whenever I have the Gravis along with the CD drive
installed (not the PAS16), the CD drive would work for like 10 seconds
and sometimes none at all, then it'd give me the CDR101 error reading
drive. Well, I thought there'd be some IRQ or DMA conflict so I changed
the ones on the GUS to IRQ12 and IRQ15 and DMA5 and 5. Well, guess what.
Same problem. So I pull out the GUS is everything works out fine! Its
really strange. I am sure that address port has nothing to do with it,
although I did change it once, to no avail. Well, I think I'll just have
to wait till I get a SCSI controller (a real one) to see if that works
out better. In the mean time, give me all the help you can give me!!!

Well, try reading August Computer Shopper. It really depends on what
you're trying to bench mark. I think that some block transfers like

actually do go to 300kps. The access though, should rate close to the

I would like to make a humble suggestion for Cream of the Crop V, however. I
have noticed that the game DOOM has become so incredibly popular that it
clearly justifies having a file area all of its own. The GAMES area is so
cluttered with DOOM stuff that if a user is not interested in DOOM, it becomes
rather annoying to look through the file list.

> Let me know how it turned out for you!
Well it turned out alright in the end. I had to make a boot disk. I never
have to make boot disks for any games usually but the sound card and cd-rom
drive take up alot of memory now. Yeh I was told that it would work fine if I
only included the absolute esentials in the boot disk, and so after a few
different configurations, it now works fine. It was worth the trouble, but is
a hard game to play!
Thanks anyway.

Hi Danny
I had the same problem. The info I was able to find out is: Some PAS16 sound
cards have a scussi interface, others including mine have 16 pin data cable
interface. I was able to connect an old Panasonic to it (or not to it apart
from the sound) by using a CDROM interface card, these are usually multi
configurable for diff CDROM's and mine cost $32 + postage. I was told the PAS
usually connects to a Philips CDROM, I'm not sure though.
Good Luck

To get into the General Store, you need the bent wire: get it by burning the
bra box in the incinerator. BTW, what is this about a boat?

Like all shareware cd's, it all depends on what you want to get out of them.
As to the above, Night Owl and Pier, these are some of the better shareware
cd's on the market today. The Night Owl collections seem to favor the
PCBoard sysops, while the Pier collection tend to favor the Remote Access
sysops in thier configuration and what they have to offer. Both, however
can be used on almost any BBS system and are very easy to configur. As
to the duplication rate, they tend to run between 10% - 20% on the average,
which depends on how quickly they come out, but even at that rate thier
both very good cd's and well worth the money.
If you need further assistance, call us at 216-225-3263 anytime and we'll
be happy to assist you further.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I got one of those TigerSoft $49 internal's and it works great, except:
I run a multi-line BBS (386-40, 4MB RAM, DesqView, etc) and already
have an internal single speed CDROM running flawlessly on the system.
I installed the Phillips and it runs fine by itself, I make them both
active and MSCDEX takes a long time to load (maybe it's the slow
Phillips, hard to tell).
Things will go along fine for awhile (about 45 minutes, I'm cataloging
the disk with Rombrain CDROM door) and I'll eventually get a CDR101:
Error reading device, and at that point it won't work regardless what I
do (short of hitting the red RESET button).
Any thoughts?!?
Thanks in advance,
Jim Tinlin

Hmm, interesting point you're raising here. I know a computer store that sells
these Mitsumi drives and they're flogging them off like hotcakes! As far as I
know they are quite okay in terms of reliability/usability. Usually, if it
doesn't work - it wasn't installed correctly by the USER, and they think it's
the drive playing up! The Mitsumi is actually faster than the Panasonic too,
and I noticed that CD audio was also slightly clearer and more crisp. Give it a
shot - you're covered by it's warranty anyway.
With triple speed, it is obviously faster than doublespin. If you have lots of
money to throw away, get a triple as you will need it one day! :)

to be not with the drive but with incorrect installation by the USER! Have
another good close look at how the drive is installed, check all connections,
settings, and configs if you haven't done so already.

Aha...she doesn't have a sound card? Have you got your CD audio cable hooked up
to anything? Does it go into the controller? If not, there's your problem.

SL>Hmm, interesting point you're raising here. I know a computer store that

yep.. Shane is refering to where I am working. They are a very good drive. Id
say within the past year of selling this drive, only one drive has been
faulty. Now hows that for quality control?.
SL>As far as I know they are quite okay in terms of reliability/usability.
SL>Usually, if it doesn't work - it wasn't installed correctly by the USER,

If your Sb-PRO card has a Mitsumi CD-ROM interface on that card, then sound
through the sound card would be fine. I myself, have one here on a SB-PRO with
a mitsumi interface, and it works like a charm!

They are a 283 ms drive, and we tested the data transfer rates using WIZARD,

tested the panasonic with a data transfer rate 300.
Now figure that one out?

AB> (Ahhhh........feels better now!)
Its when a bunch of people get their clothes off.... whoops,
wrong example! <g>
Daisy chaining means connecting up multiple drives (typically
hard disks or cdrom drives in a "line" not unlike a herd of
elephants holding the tail of the one in front. With drives, it
means that you can have more drives connected that would be
possible if each one was connected via its own controller. With
SCSI, for example, up to 7 devices can be daisy-chained from the one
controller. Some cdrom controllers also allow some daisy-chaining
(eg Panasonic 56x series).
This becomes really attractive for people who run BBSs, bacause
daisy-chaining allows them to find something else to use up any
remaining money they might have left (grin), even if their
computer case if already full up!

That is very odd.... Becuase I bought 2 drives and I got my friend 2

Ok, go to the mines with the real sword, and talk to them. They should give
you the hat and a shield. to get to the mines, use the rope and the talun on
top of the light house. throw the rope after tying it to the talun and the
rail, and it should loop back. to get back to the light house, blow the wistle
with the magnet in your hand. you can go anywhere then. Then after that, just
click anywhere on the map and you will go there. eventually you will get to
the temple, go in there, have your sword blessed, and go out. then go to the
right to the mines. Listen to their conversation and you will hear the way to
get throught the car. anyway, go back to the new east shanbar, and go to the
mines down there. put on the hat, and enter. you will meet 3 guards, each one
has one strike that will kill it. Each is a different direction. Don't
remember which is which. then you will come to a fierce guard. Threaten him
while he is talking many times and he will run away and leave the necklace.
Oh, did you know you can get a joke from the witch?
Have fun

You are quite correct and it is already done. Cream 5 will have
a Doom category. I tried to put most of the smaller doom files
into 3 big ones on vol 4. I should have cut them out and
placed them into their own dir then.

Subj: Re: Help Me!!! Nec + Pas Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have a PAS clone (media vision chips on a Sigma Design "WINSOUND"
board) and a NEC "double speed" CDROM (55jd which only has 64K buffer)
and am using the latest drivers from the Media Vision BBS. I have
trouble with playing many AVIs but no problem playing QuickTime
movies. The problem comes from the size of the reads being done
by the software and the overhead in CPU of the drivers. In the case
of QuickTime I was able to find a way to force the player to read
20KB at a time rather than the default 8KB and this allowed playback
without frame skip but I have yet to find a way of forcing Video for
Windows to use a larger read buffer.
The problem becomes apparent when one uses a high quality CDROM
performance tester (like the Mirosoft utility on the Developers
Network Level II CDROMS) to test ones CDROM setup. You get a range
of performance information listing various transfer speeds, CPU usage,
and read request sizes. MPC II says you should see 300K with no more
than 60% CPU usage on a 486SX-25 and MPC I say 150K with no more
than 40% CPU usage on a 386SX-16. With the PAS and a NEC 55JD on
a 486SX-25 one needs a 65KB read size to get a 240K transfer rate and
use only 60% of the CPU, if your player uses a 4KB read size then
240K transfer rate means that 82% of the CPU is being used and you
will see significant effects in playback because there is not enough
CPU left to do the rest of the job.
On the surface one can get 300K transfer rate from the CDROM drive
but with the PAS hardware interface (which claims 600K transfer rate)
and drivers you will never be able to use this in real playback. You'll
be lucky to see 240K even with a fast CPU and I have a fealing that this
is not just a PAS problem but much more widespread when not using a real
SCSI interface with high quality drivers.
This kind of reminds me of the audio market where you find all kinds
of "specs" that make products look good but give a very poor picture of
how a system will actually work when all the components are put together.

I am one of the programers working on a CD door for bbs use and have
the job of contacting all publishers of bbs ready cd roms to determin
their implementations and locations on the disks of the file for
catagory description, location of file description files, and the actual
location of the files themselves.
The purpose of this is to design a front end that will make it as easy
as possible for the sysop to add a new cd to the database. Would it be
possible for you to supply us with a recent disk so we can determin it's
layout. We would be more than happy to reciprocate the favor.

I can't quote, something I need to learn. But here goes. Do you have the
Sound Blaster portion of the PAS working, it requires address 220H and DMA 1
and IRQ 5? It also altered your autoexec.bat file with a SB statement. I did
disable mine for a while but forgot to pull the line out of autoexec, lot of
good that did me 8-].
No I do not know what GUS is, but it sounds interesting.
The SCSI part is did you put the short plug in the right place for SCSI-2. Do
you have the CDTA program the other person was talking about. Mine show 248KBS
for 3.07a and 241 for 3.16, a lot of difference huh.

Dean:
These are graphics files. You don't uncompress them like ZIP files. you use
a graphics program that supports this type of file. The program will read
the file and uncompress it into MEMORY so that it can be viewed. The file
always remains the same (compressed) size. There are other types of
compression like GIF, TIF etc. I believe the bitmap (BMP) pictures are not
compressed. Therefore, they are usually much bigger that the same picture
in GIF or JPG format etc. Hope this helps!

Mike Shannon had it for $27.95 last month. I got one and am very happy with
it. More info and substance, less bells and whistles. More music less talk.
Tastes great, less filling.....

Hello Tech. Community..
Can anyone identify the following FUNAI CD-ROM drive and help me obtain driver
software for it. I am trying to use a WDH-7001C CD-ROM cntrlr board but would
really prefer to use my Sound Blaster 16 MultiCD card as it appears to fit
the 34-pin sony connection.
If anyone can identify (ie phone#) of a vendor who sells this particular
drive. If someone actually has one of these things working please send mail
describing your setup and/or postit the driver/setup notes to me.
DESCRIPTION
Type: FUNAI
Model: E2450UA
It is an "FUNAI" v1.94 CD-ROM drive. It has a headphone jack and volume control
on the front and says "2X" in large letters on front. There is a button that
causes the CD tray to slide open and closed.
The back has a power connector, 2 audio connector(s) and a floppy disk/34 pin
ribbon cable. Opening up the drive reveals sony chips.
Thanks, Steve Hurrell

I have featured Cream of the Crop II, III, and IV as soon as they became
available on my bbs. I think you have been doing an excellent job and I hope
you keep up the good work.
I would like to make a humble suggestion for Cream of the Crop V, however. I
have noticed that the game DOOM has become so incredibly popular that it
clearly justifies having a file area all of its own. The GAMES area is
so cluttered with DOOM stuff that if a user is not interested in DOOM, it
becomes rather annoying to look through the file list.
Just a thought.

> Let me know how it turned out for you!
Well it turned out alright in the end. I had to make a boot disk. I never
have to make boot disks for any games usually but the sound card and cd-rom
drive take up alot of memory now. Yeh I was told that it would work fine if I
only included the absolute esentials in the boot disk, and so after a few
different configurations, it now works fine. It was worth the trouble, but is
a hard game to play!
Thanks anyway.

I am a salesman at a computer store and I found out that Doom II is coming
out in our store in a month or LESS! And it's going to be out on CD-ROM too!
I couldn't beleive it. But it's true. And there are going to sale for $49.95
each. The 3.5 disks and CD. I just wonder if the CD will run off the CD, or
just install it to the hard drive. I'll have to want and see.

Hi Danny
I had the same problem. The info I was able to find out is: Some PAS16 sound
cards have a scussi interface, others including mine have 16 pin data cable
interface. I was able to connect an old Panasonic to it (or not to it apart
from the sound) by using a CDROM interface card, these are usually multi
configurable for diff CDROM's and mine cost $32 + postage. I was told the PAS
usually connects to a Philips CDROM, I'm not sure though.
Good Luck

Like all shareware cd's, it all depends on what you want to get out of them.
As to the above, Night Owl and Pier, these are some of the better shareware
cd's on the market today. The Night Owl collections seem to favor the
PCBoard sysops, while the Pier collection tend to favor the Remote Access
sysops in thier configuration and what they have to offer. Both, however
can be used on almost any BBS system and are very easy to configur. As
to the duplication rate, they tend to run between 10% - 20% on the average,
which depends on how quickly they come out, but even at that rate thier
both very good cd's and well worth the money.
If you need further assistance, call us at 216-225-3263 anytime and we'll
be happy to assist you further.

IRQ 6 is almost NEVER free since the floppy drives use it. That was a
bad design choice on Philips' part. They should have offered 2 or 7
instead of 6.
RV>You also need 4 ISA slots free to put in all 4 interface card
RV>*blech*.
It works fine for setting up a little "CD-ROM server" where you don't
need a lot of other devices in the machine. I have three such "CD-ROM
servers" here with 5, 4, and 4 CD-ROM drives in them. (Two of them have
essentially nothing else in them). Other than those cards, (my other
drives are other types with other choices) you need a display card of
some kind, a multi-I/O (for booting from your floppy) and an ARCnet LAN
card. So an eight-slot motherboard lets you hook up as many as 5 CD-ROM
drives, if each one needs its own separate display card. Most cases
don't allow for mounting more than that, anyhow. :-)
RV>I would just look around for some cheap scsi drives
I don't know of anywhere where SCSI CD-ROM drives are available for less
than twice that $49 price, and likewise a decent SCSI controller by
itself will cost you something like four times that. Going SCSI would
easily double the price of my CD-ROM servers I'm using here.
RV>or if you coul
RV>like put them in a 8086 and just set up a lantastic network to the main bbs

Little Big LAN works so much better and doesn't force you to buy a

Yeah, that one's a PITA. We need to find a solution about that... and
requiring dealers to NOT POST catalog solicitations (or to REQUIRE that

I don't mind one screenful (19 lines for SLMR). One dealer (fortunately

What annoys me is the few dealers who post their (several, identical)
10-20 line ads... under several assumed names... less than 24 hours
apart. That is pure-and-simple abuse, and I'd like to see an end to
that particular abuse, at least.
Nice to have you back, Bob. I *do* appreciate hearing about interesting
new discs here in this echo, and I *do* appreciate knowing where I can
order what I want at the best prices. I think I've bought more discs
through sellers in this and the CD-ROM SALE conferences than from any
other place. But getting barraged with sales flyers for two and
three-year old discs at the same price they've sold at for ages, and
with those flyers every week or two is really too much.

Gee, it sure is easy for some people to spend other peoples' money.
What if someone doesn't NEED CD quality? The fact is that at least a
lot of games (for example) use a 16-bit sound card EXACTLY as they would
an 8-bit sound card, giving you IDENTICAL sound (or worse, sometimes)
than you'd get with a "genuine" 8-bit card. The main difference is the

The Panasonic is easily the best for such an application, as long as the
machine has to be used for other stuff as well. (The alternative is
five drives using five cards in an 8-slot motherboard, but then you
can't really do much else with the machine, as a rule).
One little-thought-about detail for such a drive array situation is that
the Panasonic driver is only about 10-12K (and you only need one of them
per controller, even if multiple drives) whereas the Philips driver (one
per drive) is more like 30-35K or so. Not a big deal if you are
dedicating the CD-ROM server anyhow.

Mitsumi, Panasonic, and Sony all make drives which fit in these
criteria. Note that there are starting to show up Taiwan-made drives,

The price is a LOT higher, and frankly if you wait 6-12 months the

prices. I don't think the fast ones are a good investment at current
pricing.
BG>I've decided for sure tha

Personally, I don't like the idea of tying the CD-ROM directly to the
sound card... I always buy a separate interface card. First, you can
get proper RCA pin jacks for your hi-fi system, and second you can later
upgrade either your CD-ROM drive or your sound card without losing (or
having to also upgrade) the other piece.

Look in the documentation for both the sound card and the cd-rom drive. See
if ya can tell what goes to each pin: for example(this is mine)
sound card lft spkr grnd grnd rt spkr
+ - - +
drive lft spkr grnd rt spkr grnd
+ - + -
Look at the housing holding the wires and connectors on your sound card. There
should be some small holes. Using something small enough, I use a dental pick,
while simultaneously pushing in(to release the catch) pull the wire and
connector out. Do this to the end that plugs into your sound card. Then put
them into the holes that correspond with the cd-rom drive.
Not complicated, takes about 5 minutes and free. I had the same problem not
getting audio-cd through my card and this fixed it. No problems since then.

Could use some help in selecting a CD ROM.

and a Phillips 2X, 325ms, 352kb/sec, 64K Buffer
Which is better ???
Are you better off with 250ms and 32K Buffer or
325ms and 64K Buffer??
Both cost about $125 w/interface card,
Appreciate any advice...................Thanks

MB> We don't want to talk baout the volume 1 version. It is even the
MB> bigger crap. Butsch CD-ROM Wholesale Europe
I just hope you don't stock it :)
I saw a shop in Perth over here that had about twenty or more of the vol 1.
packs just lying on the floor, nearly made me want to kick them.
I saw a computer retailer have a sort of of mobile made out of these disks
probably the most expensive mobile made. It looked quite good actually.
The packaging was atrocious, you damn near destroy the disk just trying to
it out.
I'm glad i'm not the only one who is alone saying that these 10paks are a
load of crap.

I would suppose it were possible to do so, as both are theorhetically
at line level, however, I think it would be better to go get the 4 pin
mini-cable. Those are usually available at places like Software ETC,
Egghead, Comp-USA, etc. I think the last time I looked they were
about 10 to 15 bucks. It would be a lot less aggravating...

JS> provide enough power.)
james, I have solved rtz. it took some trying but well worth the time. You
have to get the key from booz. go through the drinking ritual that is
discribed in the files at the mayers office. DO NOT DRINK. after you
make a toast, pour the drink out in the plant, then pretend to drink.
After the third toast, put your pointer on the "don't drink and drive"
icon. he will then give you some keys. toast one more time, and he will
pass out. go out the door to the left, release the choke on the water
wheel, which will open a trap door in boos' house. get the key that is
there. Go back through Boos' house and back into town. then you can
go back to the general store. use the key to open the door.
There are some rats in the store, put them in the box you picked up at the
hardware store (leave the mice alone, you don't need them).
The rats will give you enough power to use the boat. You will also have
to pay the guy to rent the boat so make sure you get the money out of
the cash register when you are in the store.
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask, I will try to help.
Or if you can't wait, you can call me on my voice line. (612) 857-2707.

Played a great 50meg demo of Companions of Xanth today which was
included on The Disc #4, a duel platform CD-ROM which comes with
each monthly issue of the magazine CD-ROM Today. (If you want
more info on this great magazine, just drop me a note. It's a great
deal--mag, disc, articles, demos, etc.)
Is anyone playing this game? If so, drop me a line and tell me how
you've found it. Is it as hard as, say Retrun to Zork or King's
Quest 5 or 6?
Also: where did you buy the game and for how much? I haven't seen it
in any of my usual mail order places. Yikes. May have to actually
go to a store. Shudder.
Hope everyone is doing well,
and thanks in advance to anyone who responds,

Man, forget about Return To Zork. Just get yourself a 3DO
(at the new Christmas price of $399) and check out Road Rash
from Electronic Arts. If that cow won't give milk, run over it
at 140 mph. Just don't spill too far from your bike, officer
O'Leary will blow your bike apart with his shotgun and take you
to jail (you can warm your hands there). If you wan't awesome,
try hittin' the asphalt at 150 mph and ACTUALLY GETTING BACK UP!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
To the answer to the question about what daisy-chaining is, which
referred to only SCSI drives, I just wanted to amend that it does not
only include SCSI peripherals. Some proprietary peripherals are also
daisy-chainable, depending on the manufacturer/model, as are some
proprietary CD-ROMs (Such as the Creative/SB combination). Also, some
serial peripherals are.. again, it all depends on the way the
particular manufacturer designed the units. It will generally be clear
in the documentation if a drive/peripheral is daisy-chainable.
Currently, SCSI is the most common daisy-chainable configuration,
however. Later..

Ever since the NEC 3x drives hit the market, there have been occasional
tales of poor performance when run on a PAS. Since the few follow ups
indicated the problem was solved by switching to another host adapter, I have
to think the PAS may be the problem, not the NEC. Have you tried another host
adapter? That should tell you which component is really at fault.

AH> .lt.
Personally, I didn't care for it. It's more likee an arcade game
that doesn't give you full freedom of movement, choice of weapons or ships,
or any real options. Basically it drags you along some well filmed
sequences where you try not to hit the wall and blast whatevers in front of
you. Plus you'll probably need a patch because the joystick is difficult
to control with the software straight out of the box.
If you like arcade action then you might like Rebel Assault. If
your looking for a flight sim, then you'll prefer Xwing or Tie Fighter.

Jim:
I have had various problems installing my CD ROM, so I have learned the
hard way about two things that can cause this problem.
1. Make sure you are not sharing interrupts with the CD ROM. I had lots
of lockups, etc when I had another device sharing an interrupt with the CD ROM.
These $49 specials can't be daisy chained, so they each need an interrupt.
2. Be sure that you have initialized a DMA buffer for QEMM/DESQview with
the DMA= switch. If you are using DMA on either CDROM, you will need to tell
QEMM to set aside DMA buffer sace, otherwise "she works good for a while, the
she doesn't work".
Good luck

Thanks for answering. Hmmm, lets see - what can I tell you. Well, its a 2X
Panasonic internal CD-ROM drive. I have it connected directly to the CD
interface on my sound card (SB16). I'm using the CDMKE.SYS cd driver, and I
think the version of MCDEX.EXE is 2.2 or something like that. (if this is not
enought information, could you tell me the exact specs you need?). Anyways, my
CD-ROM plays musical CD's beautifuly, and most games CD's as well. Its just
this one game (Goblins 3) that's giving me trouble. A friend of mine (who has
SB16, but a better model - mine's only the basic edition) tried it on his PC
and it worked fine. By the way, what did you mean "what all did you order"??

Hello, John . How are you ? Can I get you to answer a few questions
about DTIME-10 cd accellerator, please ? Exactly what is this ? Is
it hardware (like maybe a card that goes in a 16 bit slot) or what ?
You say it will make a 1x cd-rom drive run as fast as a 4x ? Would
a person be able to install DTIME-10 and then be able to run cd
games which require a 3x drive ? Does it increase the transfer
speed (like a 1x has 150kb a sec, a 2x has 300kb a sec, etc.) of
the drive also ? Would one be able to run full-motion video on cd
using it ? I have a Mitsumi LU005S 1x cd-rom drive and I was
wondering if installing DTIME-10 would give me the benefits and
useability of a 3x drive for just $70 ? I don't have $350 to
spend for a 3x drive . I will appreciate your answer . Thanks
and have a good day !

Hello Wee!
I already have a fully-functional SCSI host that I use with a Miniscribe 548
MEG hard drive and a 648 MEG Seagate on a 386/40. I need some answers regarding
a double speed CD ROM.
1. Do I need to buy a controller card for the CDROM or will it run off my
existing SCSI host without other attachments?
2. If I buy a sound card, will it include all cables or will I need to purchase
other cables to interface it to the CD ROM?
By asking the questions now, I won't have to ask them later, and possibly end
up waiting for my stupidity to catch up with me. 8-)
Thanks in advance...

I work at MCRS (Micro Computer Repair Services) where we do computer
sales and service. My favorite drives are the Plextors....very fast
drives. I have the double spin plus which gets a throughput of about
335kb/sec and is always #1 or tied for #1 in reviews of double spin
drives. However, the drive is kind of pricey....$310.00. And it's a
SCSI drive, so you'll need a SCSI contoller (add $60.00). Plextor also
has a quad-spin out in the market, the 4Plex. This gets over 600kb/sec
throughput and is also a SCSI drive...$565.00. If you're looking for
something more affordable, Mitsumi makes a good double spin that comes
bundled with the controller for $150.00. Also Media Vision has several
CD kits available with sound cards and several titles. If interested,
give us a call...663-3646 MCRS.

supports this, and it works just fine with my Toshiba 4101 and SB16 (there is
no cable of any type connecting the two).
In most cases, including the one you were commenting on, the combination of

Hi Vince,
VS> They're not really competing... GIFs are a well established, viewable for
VS>of compression for images, and Photo CD seems to be more of an end-user
Magazine CD-ROMs require 8 MB or more of RAM to run some of the
multimedia demo programs, even though package states 4 MB minimum. There
could be a good market for picture collections or magazines on Photo CD
because they can be viewed on a TV or computer.
Photo CD players are less common around here but available for
$300-$500. Images are higher quality. 5 resolutions of 100 images
per disk advertised so far.
CompuServe CD magazine has the communications program on the disk so
someone can immediately call, order merchandise or register the
shareware program.

VS> I took that to be a tongue-in-cheek statement :)
Movie people and cartoonists are moving to CD-ROM to entertain another
group of customers. They may be a different group of customers than the
ones who are willing to buy collections of zip files and GIFs.
After someone tries a magazine with long video clips and music, last
year's CDs are a bit dull. Anyone planning to produce (or distribute) a
CD-ROM needs to know the features offered by the competition. I was
really disappointed in the tiny, unidentified AVI picture files on the
AAA Travel Planner.

Whoa man. This is quite an old message you're replying too! But hey,
I'll tell ya my story anyways. I went out and bought a NEC SCSI CDR
84JD-1 for $229 (cdn, about $180 US). Well, the disk got stuck the
first day and I had to bring it back and get a new one. Well, lucky
me, they were all refurbished units. So well, since the price was
so low, I decided to try a different one. Well, brought it home and
everything was fine.. Until the SCSI conflicted with my GUS card. Well
then I thought I'd get a SCSI controller instead of using my PASs
controller. Well, then I started getting messages in this echo saying
how the NEC was NOT MPC compliant in some way (told by Microsoft) and
that this drive had many problems with it and people who owned it just
generally complained. Ok, so this got me worried and then I just brought
it and got my money back. Ok so that was that. That same night, I went
to another store and they has an IBM options package for $239 cdn (186
US) and I bought that instead. It contained the Panasonic 563,
controller card, and 6 pieces of software: an encyclopedia, Mad Dog,
Mario is Missing (sucks), US and World atlas, ATI's Media Merge, and some
Mayo Clinic. Oh well, it was a super deal with super components and
so now I am very happy and it works very well.. Not to mention that I
am officially out of expansion slots.. Hope you didn't get bored reading
this..

Hi all, I would first like to know what is the difference between the

differences and most importantly, their specs. Although my assumption
is that the 562b does 320ms and 300kb/sec and the 563 does 350ms and
300kb/sec. I would also like to know the current going prices for

Is that CDR-84 a single spin or double spin? Also, is it SCSI or proprietary?
I don't want to buy it, I was just curious because someone tried to sell me one
but told me it was a CDR-74 over the phone. I was just curious in the
difference between the two drives.

Did I really write that? Seems low, I looked for the ad (think it was
Egghead, although they usually aren't the lowest around) but I just got a
thing from ComputAbility (never heard of them til now) and they got a
WD Caviar1 gig for $789 -- their prices are high since they still want
$379 for the WD 2540 and I only paid $360 for mine 3 months ago. I think
the 2540 is down to around $299 now. Thinking back, I remember saying I
could have gotten the 1 gig for only $180 more than I had paid for my 540
so that would put it right around the $549 level.

James,
I actually forgot what your question was. Were you the one inquiring about
true multimedia having sound or something like that?
When you say you have verion 5.0 are you referring to DOS? Please forgive me
for forgetting everything you said on your original post. I need to know the
kind of sound card and brand of your ROM drive. There may be some conflict
between your hardware setting and your software setting. Like IRQ, DMA, etc.
Also, how much memory do you have? RAM? and Extended Memory or Conventional
Memory.

You should not have a problem. All you need to do is get ahold of
another 562 and set it for the next logical device, set the
switch in MSCDEX to two units, then it should be plug and play.
If you find someone that has the 562's or 563's at a good price,

Tony,
I would stongly suggest Encarta from Microsoft. It by far is the
easiest and most complete encyclopedia I have used on one CD-ROM. It
also has some really great features like being able to select the word
processor of you choice and accessing it from Encarta, it also has a
game built into it "Mind Castle" or Castle of the Mind". I don't
remember for sure and my copy is loaned out right now. Of course it
only works if you use Win DOSE. Well good luck and have fun.

Am I right that you are currently using QuickBBS? If so, consider converting
your setup to RemoteAccess. You don't need a romdoor at all as RA handles cds

Generally it's fine. It's certainly possible to write a program that

No better than having more cache on your motherboard... Smartdrv will

IMHO, no. Not if you're going to buy now, anyhow. Those are very

I also have a 486 DX50 (not DX2) 16 megs main memory, 4 megs in a VLB
cache controller and the Stealth 64 VLB graphics card and Dragons lair
runs just fine, almost too fast even.
FIRST do you have the line "device=c:\dos\emm386.sys 4000" in your
CONFIG.SYS ? You cannot use the NOEMS option, it has to be a number,
at least 4000 or higher.
It probably will not run on your 4 megs of ram as you cannot give it
4000 as after boot up you would not have enough ram. I had to make a
separate boot up option to do this as I never use EMM386 that way. The
program will NOT run without the above command and at least 4000.
If you do get it to work on you machine or for your friend. Did you
let it go through the "Fine Tuning Your System" auto setup option that
takes 10-30 minutes ? If not, then let it do it. It takes awhile but
makes the game work better and also gives better control.
Also the joystick does not seem to work 100% with the game. I used the
joystick at first and did soso. I stopped using it and switched to the
keyboard and did 300% better.
This game is excellent and I hope that you get it working. Almost
identical to the arcade.

I didn't see your original message, but I'm also having problems with
a CDR-MV2, using an Adaptec AHA 1542C controller card. I can make it
work alone, but not with my SCSI hard drive also on the SCSI bus.
So far I have found the following:
This drive is either also known as a NEC model CDR-25BJ, or so close to
being one that they can share the same manual.
The manual is not very helpful. It does say that the drive should be
turned on at all times that the computer is turned on.
Since the drive has only one SCSI connector, it must obviously go at
the end of the SCSI bus.
It appears to have a built-in termination which cannot be disabled
without cutting wires, so I have made no attempt to use any other
termination at this end of the SCSI bus.
To use it with the Adaptec card, you must set the Adaptec card to
disable parity checking and synchronous (something), for just this
drive if possible but for all drives if necessary.
The Adaptec card should have its terminator disabled only if you
connect to both its internal SCSI bus connector and its external SCSI
bus connector, so that it is not at the end of the bus. There should
be a terminator enabled at each end of the bus, and no others in the
middle.
If you use DOS and install the ASPI low level driver from Adaptec's
ASW-1400 software plus the CD-ROM software from Adaptec's ASW-500
software (note that at least part of ASW-500 is by Corel), you can get
the CDR-MV2 working provided it is the ONLY drive on the SCSI bus.
The problem I'm having is that if I put both the CDR-MV2 and my
Quantum LPS240S hard drive (in an external drive case) on the SCSI bus
at the same time (with different SCSI ID's and with the terminating
resistors removed from the LPS240S), the diagnostics from the Adaptec
card's BIOS can see both drives but the drivers cannot see either of
them.
If I put only one of the drives - either one - on the SCSI bus (with the
terminating resistors put back for the LPS240S, and no other settings
changes), the drivers have no trouble seeing that drive.
I'm out of backplane slots, so a second SCSI controller card is not
an option.
Any ideas on how to get both drives working at the same time? Or is
the CDR-MV2 simply incompatible with having another drive on the bus?

In essence(and very simply put), it is the HDTV quality.
Multimedia Solutions Inc. is currently developing applications using MPEG2
compression and will be displaying the product at the fall COMDEX in Las Vegas.
Currently, hardware I/O is required to display(decode) MPEG on a system. It
is/was rumored that XING TECHNOLOGIES had a software decoder but was bought out
by hardware manufacturers of MPEG decoders.
BTW, anyone reading this echo IF you have access or know of where I am able to
locate and is willing to send me the alogorythm for the MPEG compression, I
would be eternally grateful.

You need the miner's hat and the true dwarven sword to go into the cave
and the turns to take is given at the letters written by the skeleton.
Use the crank bar to open the silo, either clock-wise or

Yes I agree, SPECIALLY DESIGNED Audio CD-Player Software may send audio

Music CDs through the sound card?"
Just wondering, you know how OS/2 Supports Toshiba and SB16, what
seems to be the problem? If You are NOT running OS/2 or SPECIAL CD-Rom
audio player - and there is no audio Cable connection on back of the CD-

I have a ShareWare Version of CD-SPEED it does speed up performance to

the Hard drive, these Packets are accessed on re-reads rather then a
fresh CD-Reads. Good for games, encyclopedias, No performance increase
on CDs which only read forward and do not Need Previous information.
Check your local BBS for CDSPEED.XXX (ARJ, LHA, ZIP, ETC) Or I can
send you a copy. TEST it before you but it, IT's $50 at the Stores.
Note that DOS 6.2 SmartDrive caches CD-Roms, But then you are Using
Qemm. Overall, there is Performance enhancement that is noticeable!

Mike,
Thanks for the recent shipment of 6 CD's. I'm very happy with both the
service and prices. Now I'm looking for a recommendation of a MAC Shareware
CD-ROM with recent releases (something comparable to the Pier 5, Night Owl
13, and Cream of the Crop 4 I recently purchased).
The only catch is this: Can I mount it and install it for download by my
BBS callers from a PC running WildCat. I'm not sure how MAC CD's are laid
out, so I was wondering if the CD directory format is in MAC HFS or a generic
format readable by PC.
Or, do you know of and PC CD-ROM Discs that include MAC files stored in DOS
directory format (I've heard of a few that have PC and MAC files in DOS
format, but I'm looking for one with _all_ MAC files inDOS format.
Thanks for everything, and know that you have one VERY happy customer!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi!
I am working on the following system: One 386/40 clone PC with an Adaptec
AHA-1522 SCSI board that runs an internal 1Gb HD Fujitsu SCSI-II and an
external
CDROM Toshiba XT 3401 SCSI-II. This system works right under OS/2 (versions 2.0
and 2.1 have been tested). But when you try to work under MS-DOS, DRDOS or
simils, it does not work: The HD is initilitzet by the Adaptec bios (due to its
zero id number...), but the CDROM has to be loaded by drivers on the
Config.sys.
I never can run together the HD and the CDR. It's obviusly that there is a soft
trouble if the same system is working under OS/2. I called Adaptec technical
support, but the only told me to load the drivers in the very first line of my
config.sys! :-(technical support???).
I hope someone who reads it would have the same configuration or know about
this
problem. I will be waiting your suggestions.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am experiencing problems trying to attach a Toshiba TX-3401 external CD-ROM
drive to an Adaptec AHA-1522 under Microsoft MS-DOS with Adaptec supplied
drivers. The operating system is installed on a SCSI-2 hard disk from Fujitsu,
model M2266S-512. The same setup works perfectly on the same machine running
under IBM's OS/2 2.1GA but under MS-DOS although the ASPI driver installs it
does not initialise the CD-ROM and MSCDEX.EXE fails to locate the unit. This
is
with Initialise Synchronous Negotiation" set on. With said jumper removed the
CD-ROM appears to initialise but the hard disk fails and the machine crashes,
under MS-DOS or OS/2.
The Adaptec has a BIOS AHA-1520 from 1990 and the board is v1.4.
Two drivers have been tried, the originals supplied with the board which are
the
"ASPI DOS MANAGER ASW-1210 v2.1" and an update sent by Adaptec "EZ-SCSI FOR
DOS/WINDOWS v2.0 p/n 562100 revision A" and both fail with the same error.
QEMM v6.0 is installed but the drivers have been tried with a standard
configuration and also with a stripped config.sys and autoexec.bat, ruling out
this type of possible clash. I repeat that the same setup works perfectly
under
OS/2 so it is fairly sure to rule out IRQ/DMA/Memory clashes.
Thankyou in advance for your attention and I eagerly await your reply.
Yours Faithfully.
Una Salutacio,
Bye Good;-)

From the tests I've seen done 3x and 4x drives are NOT faster than a 2x
drive. In fact, they were even slower in some tests. The only area
where you saw the difference was in transferring data (ie copying files
from the cd to your hard drive).

Save your money. None of them work worth a D--n. If you must try one use
Smartdrive in Dos. You must load Smartdrive after the MSCDEX statement for it
to cache the CD-Rom. It won't do anything that you are aware of. There was a
write up in one of the magazines recently that tested 5 or 6 of the caches that
claimed to make big differences with CD-Rom's but none of them did much. Not,
at least worth spending any money on. Only thing that will speed up CD-Rom's is
a faster Cd-Rom or a faster computer to process the stuff with. Sorry, the news
is not better. Luck Don W7SB

It's a pretty encyclopedia with not a whole lot of subjects if you want
information for research papers. I was pretty disappointed when my kids
(elementary and middle schools) couldn't find all the information they
needed to research the papers they had to write. However, for the price,
it still is worth getting for easy to medium amounts of reference info.
I'd also look at Comptons and Groliers.

If you already have Comptons, I would buy Encarta also as another source.
In my opinion, Comptons has just about the same amount of info as Encarta,
but different information. So, with the 2 together, your children could
actually find most of what they need without having to visit the library.

Thanks muchly Derrek. We had most of that stuff figured out, except the bits
about the fairy dust on the meat, and using the whistle on the Grues.
Do you know anything about the boat (where it is...) and what to do in the
whispering forest??? Once again, Thanks.

*@SUBJECT:How do you store your CD's N
I'm knew to CD-ROM, and was wondering what's the best way to store
CDs. I've got a small collection in cases, cardboard sleeves, paper
sleeves, and no sleeves.
I've seen some racks that store them in the cases, and others that
store them loose. And then there's the pile method.
To complicate things, I've got kids that have trouble opening the
cases (actually I've broken some cases myself).
So, whats best?

I don't *use* it, but I do occasionally play with it, and then often
for too long. Of the MM encyclopaedias, Encarta has the most sound
sequences and animation but Groliers is the most useful as a
reference.
Encarta has great features, like bird songs and Martin Luther King
intoning about dreams, even Einstein commenting on the splendour
that was Gandhi. There are some neat animations, too.

Thanks a lot. I finally managed to get through. Somehow a 2 was
missing from the number I had. I don't know what happened in the
time between last logging on and recently, but there we are.
I noticed their Ensoniq card looks quite attractive, bundled with
Altec speakers and ENcarta, and they have an Nec x2 speed drive at a
good price. I was also taken by the large HDD's at 50 cents a
megabyte or less.
Trying to download a mail packet was disappointing. Too many errors,
although it may have been something to do with a front of torrential
rain that was covering Japan (first real rain in 3 months!). There
was no info on whether the soundcard had an interface for the NEC
drive.
Thanks for the help.

Dear Wee
I am interested in the above, but you don't mention the size of the
cache, does the TEAC have one? It will work with the controller card
won't it? The other thing I have to ask is about shipping to Japan.
Do you have any other non-SCSI drives that have a 128k or larger
cache?
Do you have any economical solutions for interfacing any of the SCSI
drives?

JT> Played Gabriel Knight??? I'm stuck on day 7..
Only read what you need
Hints for Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
------------ DAY 7
Problem:
Gabriel's Studio
Read the daily newspaper. Take the flashlight from the dresser. Use the
"Operate" icon on the phone to call Ritter. Ask about "Tetelo". This adds
"Talisman" to your topic choices. Ask about "Talisman". This adds "Tetelo's
Remains" to the topic menu. Ask about "Tetelo's Remains". This adds "Africa
Homeland" to the topic menu. Ask about "Africa Homeland". Later in the day,
when you've decided to visit Germany, use the "Operate" icon on the phone and
dial the travel agent's number. The number is on the phone page in your
inventory. The number is 585-1130. Select Germany as your destination. Use
Mosely's credit card to pay for your tickets. This puts "New Orleans
International Airport" on the Greater New Orleans Map.
St. Louis Cemetery
Use the "Operate" icon on the button under the plate on the Gedde tomb. Inside
the tomb, select the flashlight from your inventory. Double click on the
flashlight to turn it on. Use the "Open" icon on the veve Pattern drawer. You
will be knocked out. Once you wake up, open the drawer. You will get a close-up
of the drawer and see a wallet. Take the wallet. Open your inventory and use
the "Open" icon on the wallet. This will put the "Credit Card", in your
inventory. Use the "Operate" icon on the button on the wall to open the door of
the tomb.
Wolfgang's Bedroom
Use the "Look" icon on the Lintels on top of the carved doors, just below the
Lion's heads. This will add "Portal Poem" to the topic menu.
Great Hall and Chapel
Use the "Question" icon on Gerde and ask about the "Portal Poem". She will
translate the poem to English. After visiting the Chapel, ask her about the
"Chapel Panels". This will add "Initiation Ceremony" to the topic menu. Ask
Gerde about the Ceremony.
How do I perform the Initiation Ceremony?
In Wolfgang's Bedroom use the "Operate" icon on the windows to open them. Use
the "Operate" icon on the snow to wash your hands. Pickup the "scissors" and
use them on Gabriel. Take the "chamber pot". Use the "Open" icon on the Scroll
Case and take the "scroll". Go to the Great Hall and take the large "knife"
hanging on the stair case wall. Take the "salt" on the floor. Enter the Chapel
and put the chamber pot on the alter. Put salt in the chamber pot. Use the
knife on Gabriel. Use the "Operate" icon on the altar. With Gabriel kneeling in
front of the altar, use the scroll on Gabriel. Once you have completed the
Initiation Ceremony the day will end.

No reason to wait Todd. A 386DX/25 will work fine for a CD Rom drive.
The decision of when to buy is yours :) , but if I was going to get
that <drool> pentiun within the next 6 months, I would wait before
buying a single spin CD Rom drive. Matter of fact, I I was going to
take the plunge, I would wait and hopefully the triple spins will come
down in price by the time you're ready to get the pentium. But hey, if
you want one now...when I want something for my computer...I very
seldom put it off (UNLESS we're talking pentium<g>), I'd go ahead and
get a double spin. You can put it in the Pentium when you take the
plunge. I don't think you would be happen with a single spin if you're
going to be doing anything other than using it for storage (doesn't take

It's a pretty encyclopedia with not a whole lot of subjects if you want
information for research papers. I was pretty disappointed when my kids
(elementary and middle schools) couldn't find all the information they
needed to research the papers they had to write. However, for the price,
it still is worth getting for easy to medium amounts of reference info.
I'd also look at Comptons and Groliers.

If you already have Comptons, I would buy Encarta also as another source.
In my opinion, Comptons has just about the same amount of info as Encarta,
but different information. So, with the 2 together, your children could
actually find most of what they need without having to visit the library.

There are 2 ways that the drive will install in your computer:
1)2 screws on each side through the drive cage.
OR
2)You need 2 rails, they screw on each side of the drive & then
the drive just slides in. The rails will lock in with screws or
built-in tabs.

You really can't beat the 2X AT interface drives for price and performance,
you will probably beable to buy a 4X AT drive with the difference
between 2X AT & SCSI.
The higher performance drives ie. 3X or 4X are SCSI,
BUT I expect 4X AT or IDE drive to be avail. soon.
The 2X AT interface drives are about 300ms. but the important spec.
is the data transfer rate. Actually data transfer rate is everything.
SCSI is OK if you already have a SCSI controller or your sound
card is SCSI ie you don't have to buy a SCSI controller @ $100-400.

The advantage is that a SCSI-II card can have upto 7 devices. This can be
CDROMS/HD's etc. Also SCSI card are DMAble, with means less overhead for the
CPU.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi!
I am working on the following system: One 386/40 clone PC with an Adaptec
AHA-1522 SCSI board that runs an internal 1Gb HD Fujitsu SCSI-II and an
externalCDROM Toshiba XT 3401 SCSI-II. This system works right under OS/2
(versions 2.0and 2.1 have been tested). But when you try to work under MS-DOS,
DRDOS orsimils, it does not work: The HD is initilitzet by the Adaptec bios
(due to itszero id number...), but the CDROM has to be loaded by drivers on the
Config.sys.I never can run together the HD and the CDR. It's obviusly that
there is a softtrouble if the same system is working under OS/2. I called
Adaptec technicalsupport, but the only told me to load the drivers in the very
first line of myconfig.sys! :-(technical support???).
I hope someone who reads it would have the same configuration or know about
thisproblem. I will be waiting your suggestions.

Subj: Adaptec + Cdrom Under Dos Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am experiencing problems trying to attach a Toshiba TX-3401 external CD-ROM
drive to an Adaptec AHA-1522 under Microsoft MS-DOS with Adaptec supplied
drivers. The operating system is installed on a SCSI-2 hard disk from Fujitsu,
model M2266S-512. The same setup works perfectly on the same machine running
under IBM's OS/2 2.1GA but under MS-DOS although the ASPI driver installs it
does not initialise the CD-ROM and MSCDEX.EXE fails to locate the unit. This
iswith Initialise Synchronous Negotiation" set on. With said jumper removed
theCD-ROM appears to initialise but the hard disk fails and the machine
crashes,under MS-DOS or OS/2.
The Adaptec has a BIOS AHA-1520 from 1990 and the board is v1.4.
Two drivers have been tried, the originals supplied with the board which are
the"ASPI DOS MANAGER ASW-1210 v2.1" and an update sent by Adaptec "EZ-SCSI FOR
DOS/WINDOWS v2.0 p/n 562100 revision A" and both fail with the same error.
QEMM v6.0 is installed but the drivers have been tried with a standard
configuration and also with a stripped config.sys and autoexec.bat, ruling out
this type of possible clash. I repeat that the same setup works perfectly
underOS/2 so it is fairly sure to rule out IRQ/DMA/Memory clashes.
Thankyou in advance for your attention and I eagerly await your reply.
Yours Faithfully.
Una Salutacio,
Bye Good;-)

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, up here in Canada the lowest price I
have seen it for was $50 and we don't have Software, Etc up here.
You wouldn't happen to know of any mail order places that sell it for
that price, would you?

From the tests I've seen done 3x and 4x drives are NOT faster than a 2x
drive. In fact, they were even slower in some tests. The only area
where you saw the difference was in transferring data (ie copying files
from the cd to your hard drive).

CONFIG.SYS: Dev=himem.sys
dev=emm386.exe
etc, etc
device=cd-rom.drv
Autoexec: LH smartdrive.sys e+ (CD-ROM is drive E)
etc....
lh Mscdex.*
Should I have Smartdrive loaded after MSCDEX? I don't right now as it gives me
more available conventional memory.
When Smartdrive loads, drives A, B, C, and D are listed, but not E.
Any help would be appreciated....Thanx in advance.....Curt

I was just wondering (as I stare at a smoldering Power Supply) how many CD
Drives can you put on a typical 200-250W power supply. Figure a 486 with
1 hard drive, floppy, 8MB RAM, and your average CD-ROM Drive(s).
Don't have to be specific, since I know that there are too many variables
involved to be precise... just a wild guess... Anybody???

Mike,
Thanks for the recent shipment of 6 CD's. I'm very happy with both the
service and prices. Now I'm looking for a recommendation of a MAC Shareware
CD-ROM with recent releases (something comparable to the Pier 5, Night Owl
13, and Cream of the Crop 4 I recently purchased).
The only catch is this: Can I mount it and install it for download by my
BBS callers from a PC running WildCat. I'm not sure how MAC CD's are laid
out, so I was wondering if the CD directory format is in MAC HFS or a generic
format readable by PC.
Or, do you know of and PC CD-ROM Discs that include MAC files stored in DOS
directory format (I've heard of a few that have PC and MAC files in DOS
format, but I'm looking for one with _all_ MAC files inDOS format.
Thanks for everything, and know that you have one VERY happy customer!

Hi once again Carlos:
I had a last thought on the CD. I got mine at a computer show, 2 or
3 years ago. If you haven't already, check around and see if there
are any shows or swap meets around your area. Software and hardware
usually can be bought at these places for much less than anywhere else.

You got it right that the Smartdrive must be loaded "AFTER" the Mscdex.
Smartdrive doesn't know the CD is there until after the Mscdex is loaded. To
make Smartdrive "NOT" cache the Cd rom put a /U after the word Smartdrive.
Reading a report on CD Rom caches in a recent magazine says that ANY of the
caches are of dubious value. Only thing to speed up CD rom's is faster cd roms
and faster computers. Sorry. Fact of physics I guess. Don W7SB

My guess, for what it's worth, would be, as many as you want as long as only
one is running at the time. Perhaps in a bbs situation, (I don't know) you
could somehow get more thatn one turning at the same time. Other than that
explanation, check your owners manual for power consumption and multiply. Luck

Congratulations on your new CDROM drive. That looks like a great
solution, unfortunately I have this drive for 1 1/2 years, so I'm stuck with
it. I'm still gonna try to contact NEC to see if they can make it run faster.
Maybe they have a upgrade policy to a 3x or 4x. Good luck with the drive.

Shirley!
I know this to be true for Night Owl #10 CD-ROM.
SM> 2. Which programs on which CDs?
Two of the viruses can be directly detected by SCAN v117
according to a local sysop. I presume F-prot v2.13, Integrity
Master v2.11a and TBAV v6.22 can also directly detect these
viruses.
The third virus consists of two variants of the "Butterfly". It
can ONLY be directly detected by SDSCAN v28.02 from Novell DOS
v7.0. The virus is encrypted within PKLITEd executables using
an unusual format.
F-prot v2.13, Integrity Master v2.11 (registered) and TBAV
v6.22 will NOT directly detect the Butterfly virus within these
executables. You MUST unpack the files from their PKLITEd
versions.
I used UNP v3.15 (Ben Castricum) to unpack the compressed
executables. Once this was done, alarms went off on all the
virus scanners that I used to scan the UNPacked files.
If you need the names of these infected files, please repost to
the Virus echo on one of your local BBS. I would suggest NOT
getting Night Owl #10.
I have no information on later versions beyond #10 of the Night
Owl CD-ROM series.

Everyone,
I am now selling the hit MPC CD-ROM game MYST. This game pits
you in a surrealistic world filled with mind boggling puzzles you need
to solve to find out what happened to this world's inhabitants. This
game was very challenging for me, an experienced game player, I was
even forced to buy the hint book in order to finish. This game is for
Windows and requires a 386dx/33 with 4 megs of RAM, SVGA(640*480*256),
and a sound card to hear and experience it all. Included on the disk is
a 15 minute Quicktime for windows movie on how the game was produced.
In all major publications and stores this game is still selling for
upwards of $50. I am selling the game and the hint book($15) for a
total of $45. That's a savings of over $20 combined. Get on this
oppurtunity fast as I am first come first serve since I only have one.
Allan K. Eyre
p.s. I also have the NON-CD-ROM version of Sam & Max hit the road for
$20 along with Pivateer for $30 and Police quest 3 for #15. Trades for
these will be accepted and only games of equal value for MYST.

Have you tried using memmaker yet? If so, you might want to try the custom
mode, this can free up more memory. Just read the help file that is on screen
for each option and you should have no problems. If you already have done this
and still not getting enough memory you will have to buy a better memory
manager. I just got QEMM today and it freed up 631K of ram. The only drawback
is I lost about 2 megs of extended memory. Looks like I have to go thru the
docs and find out why. If your wondering how good this really is I run a cd
driver along with mscdrv, a sound board driver, reelmagic driver, video
drivers, mousedriver, doskey, smartdrive etc.

then immediately unloads it.
2. Dragons Lair Dos version. On the sliding stairs screen I can't get dirk to
do anything but fall down into the pit. When you first get into the screen the
door to your right flashes and then the scene changes to a view over his

Hi Todd... don't even CONSIDER buying anything slower than a double speed.
If you do, you'll regret it within a half a year. Most of the neat CD stuff
such as games or whatever need a 2X. Sure the single speeds are cheaper,
but it will limit you severely. A double speed will run fine on the system
you've described.

I'd be interested in the above. All I got for trades is: Virtual Murder (Magic
Death) cd...I just got it two days ago and don't like the detective solving
style games plus my TVGA card is missing the disc with the windows drivers so
the display is poor for my system. It is windows based and the OEM version,
comes in plastic jewel case. Is Ultima 8 an OEM or full version with
docs/manuals/box and DOS based?
How much with shipping if your willing to just sell it outright?

As you've probably noticed, I've tried about 4 or 5 different
mouse drivers. Tried to load em high, tried to load em low, Heck,
I'd even load sideways if I could. :) I finally just decided to
heck with it. What really ticked me off was that Borderbunds BBS
is only turned on during working hours!!! (I thought the idea of
having a BBS for help was that it was available 7/24.)
Even after I paid the freight to call during working hours,
didn't find a single file about their 'talking books.' (Tons of
stuff about Carmen and their printshop program though -- and I
looked into every file area. Connected for 30 minutes at 14.4)
I still LIKE the program, but it sure ticks me off when the
mouse goes bye-bye.

Gavin,
if these files are on the Cd Rom on this system just download them. To
download the files just go into the files menu tag the files and the press D in
the files menu and you will be on your way.
See Ya.

Dear Boris
I logged on to your BBS from Japan and downloaded your catalog. It
was quite interesting, and well implemented, except that information
was not available for all items, and of course, your special pricing
on the Pioneer was also not up-to-date.
I would like to see more info on the Reve(a?)l IV upgrade kit, what
are teh specs of the hardware in it?
Your catalog doesn't list any systems, so what is the discount
package prices on CD's about?
And also, what interface does the Pioneer require and what is the
size of its buffer?
Thanks
David
