CD-ROM Review: Creative Multimedia's "Family Doctor"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
I had some problems getting started with The Family Doctor. After
fiddling a bit and again proving that I am emphatically not a DOS
guru, I called Creative Multimedia's Technical Support line. Not only
did they diagnose the problem with my system, they practically gave me
a quick course in system setup. I suppose a cynic might say they knew
they were working with a reviewer so they went farther than they might
normally go. I didn't get that impression. Steve and the other guys
spent more than four hours wi> th me over two days, much of that time
on their phone bill, not mine.
Reading README.TXT before installing is worth the trouble, especially
if you have Creative Multimedia's Who Killed Sam Rupert installed as
it and The Family Doctor aren't quite compatible. The file also
contains full de-installation instructions, a useful feature, since
this program does alter the control files Autoexec.BAT, System.INI,
Control.INI, and Win.INI.
In a time when "customer service" can be an oxymoron, it was
refreshing.
About the program: This is the first home medical guide program I've
seen. I know there are others, but this one landed on my desk first.
So it's getting the benefit both of my freshness to the genre and of
the skepticism of a wheelchair-riding MS patient who's seen more
doctors and gathered more medical information than he ever wanted.
The Family Doctor stands up well to both. The CD is a home medical
guide by the author of the syndicated column of the same name, Dr.
Allan Bruckheim, M.D., FAAFP.
Dr. Bruckheim has been doing this a while and it shows. The
information is current and much more complete than I would have
thought likely in a general-audience health guide. The amount of raw
information on this CD is astonishing. Dr. Brukheim and Creative
Multimedia have managed to include some 2300 frequently asked
questions, 300 color illustrations, a prescription drug guide with
1600 entries and pictures of many of their pill form, a nice human
anatomy guide with video and sound, a database on Rare Disorders, and
an animated First Aid Guide, (More on that later.) a resource list,
and a strong search program. You can print out all the files for
future reference.
Almost every selection provides pointers to more information and it's
worth the extra drag and clicks to check it. Many of the articles list
bibliographies for further research.
The CD installs easily in Windows, requiring only the usual Windows
Run "SETUP" procedure. It's a little slow starting up but no worse
than any CD with a big interface program. The interface might feel
slightly odd to Windows users. Pull-down menus work after the
Macintosh fashion, click, drag the highlight bar to your selection and
then release the mouse button. The menus don't stay down in the
typical Windows manner. I didn't consider that a fault, just
different.
At startup a nice opening screen appears with a quick-select guide to
the left, supplementing the text buttons on the main screen. On the
Main Screen, buttons for the program functions nestle on the right:
Introduction and Agreements -- contains the software license and Dr.
Brukheim's video introduction. (Be warned! Dr. Brukheim's speaking
voice, while pleasant is, ummm...shall we say...powerful?) The intro
supplies a good overview of the program and its use. The doctor
hasn't left anything important out and advice from the author, in this
case, is very useful.
Questions & Answers - This is the main body of the CD. (The Human
Anatomy section is _your_ body on the CD.) It contains some 2300 of
the medical questions Dr. Brukheim has addressed in his tenure as a
syndicated medical columnist. The amount of information here is
surprising. Many of the articles include pointers to other information
on the CD, usually available by a simple drag and click. Everything on
this disc seems to be linked to everything else that might be apropos.
The structure of the database gu> ides you from the more general ideas
or questions to specific issues virtually painlessly. You might go
through two or three screens to get to the exact question you want but
the program works quickly enough that it's worth the trip.
Rare Disorders - This is one of the more intriguing sections. There
are diseases explained here that may affect only a few tens of people.
(One I looked at had only 40 reported cases.) The articles explain the
conditions as fully as practical in a popular work and include many of
the other conditions that might mimic one of the truly rare ones.
Bibliographic pointers to medical literature enable further research.
Prescription Drug Guide -- 1600 commonly prescribed medicines are
listed by generic-name. You can find them by trade name using the
Search and Browse system. Many of the listings are accompanied by
pictures of the pill forms under the "Additional Information"
pull-downs. The listings include how prescribed and supplied, how to
take them, side effects and conditions they are usually prescribed to
treat. It's not the Physician's Desk Reference, but it's not as hard
to use or understand, either.
Basic First Aid - This is just what it says, a solid guide to handling
medical emergencies for the layman. It covers treating minor to
life-threatening situations. with solid advice on everything from cuts
and bruises to heart attacks, drowning, electrical shock, and
poisoning. Unfortunately, there's a glitch in the program that,
combined with my system's configuration, wouldn't allow me to run the
animations or sounds. It seems the .WAV files for this section were
recorded at a non-standard sampling rate and require a Sound Blaster
driver to run. Since my system uses all the low IRQs and the Windows
SB Driver 1.5 only addresses IRQs up to 7, I couldn't play the sounds
and the program warned me that I had no .WAV player capable of playing
this sound format. Creative Multimedia's> Technical Support folks
agreed that the non-standard sound format should have been caught and
that Windows Sound System users really shouldn't have to install an
additional driver to run this program, but its in there. I trust they
will resolve this in the 4th Edition. So I really can't do justice to
this portion of The Family Doctor. From reading only the text, the
information seems to be a pretty standard First Aid guide.
Resources - Listings of Associations and Foundations related to
medical concerns, listing of Educational and Support Groups, and a
collection of health-related booklets. This is a good source of places
to look for informational and support groups related to specific
conditions.
Illustrations - This contains some 300 .BMP files of informational
illustrations of Anatomy, Body Processes, the appearances of various
Diseases and Injuries, Medical Procedures, and Health & Social Issues.
The illustrations are clear and informative, well labelled and good
quality. They provide a helpful adjunct to the textual information,
putting a "face" on the data.
Anatomy of the Human Body -- Hmmm. Beauty really is only skin deep.
No, not really. I find the human body fascinating and this section
only reinforces that fascination. All the body's major systems are
shown with their organ placement. The movies that accompany each major
system division show them well, often in live action. You can choose
from three magnification levels and as the cursor touches an item, a
right button click activates a sound file that gives the correct
pronunciation for that anatomical t> erm. Even more detailed
illustrations are available in the Illustrations Menu by selecting
that section's Human Anatomy division.
Search & Browse - Here's The Family Doctor's power plant. So far as
I've tried, barring misspellings, I've been able to find everything I
wanted within a few seconds. you can search for a specific term, drug,
organ, or program item or any combination thereof with Boolean

operators available at a click-and-drag. Just for fun, I tried
"allergy," AND "penicillin." Bingo! I got a listing of 30 articles
covering these two items in combination in, apparently, descending
relationship to penicillin allergy, from a> naphylactic shock reaction
to penicillin to general information on allergies and including a list
of illustrations of various allergic reactions. I had a few "no
occurrence" messages from artificially complicated searches, but I was
_trying_ to beat the program with conditions you'd expect to find in a
serious medical textbook, not in a family medical guide. Search is
particularly handy for looking up medications. A trade name search
will usually find the article on that dr! ug quickly.
I would have been happier with Search if it highlighted the "hits."
Some of the references it yields seem a little obscure now and then.
I'd like to see an interface of this quality on Creative Multimedia's
"Audubon's Birds" and Audubon's Mammals" that I reviewed a few days
ago. This is what I had in mind when I criticized their using Disc
Passage on those CDs.

CD-ROM Review: DeLorme "Global Explorer 1.0"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
De Lorme Mapping's Global Explorer is the armchair adventurer's
passport with plane tickets included. (It has a "fly" function where
you set up a destination and the display shows the distance and
routing, choice of two routes, with intermediate stops.) No
frequent-flyer miles, though.
Complex as it is, Global Explorer was surprisingly easy to learn. A
friend loaned me a copy for review; no manuals, just a CD in a caddy.
Less than an hour later, I was traveling the world.
It works very much like Street Atlas, magnification buttons in and
out, a quick revert to world or region view, map centering by mouse
click, etc. Some of its functions are appropriate to a world atlas'
broader requirements, though.
The Gazetteer function lets you type in a country, region, "province,"
point of interest, or other name and go directly there on the map. It
also displays a list of similar names that you can select by point and
click if you're unsure of the exact spelling. Each selection is
accompanied with a listing of what kind of object the name represents
and where it's located. One thing jumped out at me about those
listings; the United States is made up of States _not_ provinces.
DeLorme seems to have used "province> " as a generic name for
political subdivisions but, to me, calling the USA's States
"provinces" just grates a bit. The Gazetteer is also the starting
point for most of the CD's text information. Enable the "Country" box
and then click on the country desired and then the "Info" button. A
Windows Help-style box appears with profile information for that
country. Within that is an index of Country and Dependencies
Information.
The Fly function is intriguing. You can select any place as "here" and
any other (via the Gazetteer) as "destination." Click the "Fly" button
and Global Explorer tells the distance the trip will cover and will
show the routing on the map, complete with stops enroute and airport
codes. It will produce an alternate routing, too. The Direct Fly
function will show destinations with direct flights available from the
departure point.
Global Explorer's Street Find function is limited compared to Street
Atlas USA but, after all, there are a lot more cities to cover
world-wide. The really big cities are fairly complete. The function
only works at magnification level 12 or higher and most of the smaller
cities just aren't mapped at that level, effectively disabling Street
Find. Where it does work, though, it's the same as in Street Atlas USA
You enter the street name, click Search or Locate and the street is
highlighted on the map display.>
If you leave the Gazetteer's "Show" selection box enabled,
points-of-interest are shown by various iconic markers on the maps.
Passing the mouse cursor over these pops up an identifier flag and a
mouse click invokes either a short description or a selection dialog
that presents several such points to select by highlighting and
clicking.
Just for the fun of it, I tested Global Explorer by trying to follow
the so-called Pilgrim Trail religious pilgrims travelled in the Middle
Ages. Starting at Santiago de Compostello in Spain, I was able to
trace the route, cathedral, by basilica, by cathedral, all the way to
St.Denis, near Paris. Probably no one but a wannabee Art Historian
like me would do that but it showed me the program is pretty
comprehensive, at least in Europe. It seems all the other major
Mediaeval sites are there. By the time I finished playing around that
way, I had my latest term paper subject: CD-ROM Technology as
Textbook.
A few places seemed to be either shifted or misplaced from the
locations I remember them being but I'm not Geographer enough to be
sure. It's also possible I'm confusing their locations on Mediaeval
maps I've had to use with their contemporary political placement. I
did repeatedly try to locate Aix-au Chappelle, France before
remembering it is now Aachen, Germany again. Through history many
places changed names and countries depending on who won the previous
Spring's war. Some have criticized Global Explorer for misplacements
so it might be well to check another reference if there is doubt. I,
myself, wasn't quite certain of a couple of locations. Since I had no
chance to trek to a library, this is maybe, maybe not.
Overall, the program is impressive in appearance, runs well and
quickly for its size and complexity and seems like it would make a
good quick reference for Geography studies or travel planning, not to
mention just armchair adventuring.
System Requirements are: 386 or higher, VGA, 4 MB RAM, 3 MB HD space,
Windows 3.1 or higher, DOS 4.01 or higher, and mouse. There is no
sound card requirement since it uses no sound functions. I tested it
on a 486-25 system with 4MB RAM, SVGA, Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.

I come neither to praise nor to bury Caesar, just to talk about him.
(Sorry, Will!)
As the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look at a new (to me
at least) CD with a playful, kind of
Wowsers-what-can-I-do-with-THIS-one, point of view. That may result in
sometimes being too easy on one CD and too hard on another. Usually it
results in my playing with the thing for a few hours to a few weeks
and writing up some general thoughts on what purpose I think it might
serve, what glitches jump out at me, whether I could figure out some
good use for it, and what new (again, to me) features it has that seem
to improve the breed.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hi. I'm in the market for a CR-ROM drive, and heard the Mitsumi FX-001D
is a good choice for an inexpensive double speed drive. However, I am
concerned about its performance. My main concern is the access time,
and I have seen it reported for this drive as anywhere from 250ms to
450ms. I am assuming that access time really means average access time
and not track to track or full stroke time. But why the variance? I
suspect that the 250ms reported is really the seek time, but am not
sure. Anyone that has the FX-001D or knows the "real" specs, please let
me know. As usual, any advice or recommendations are welcome.

Actually I do, but it almost all relocates. I do need to clarify the

DU>the best SCSI internal, or are there better ones for the same or

I bought a Chinon 535 back in June. It was literally a plug and play.
Easy to install - I bought the kit with the SCSI controller with it.
Biggest problem I had was laying under a table to get to my tower case
from the side.
I think it is probably one of the best values for performance of the
higher priced drives. Probably about equal with the Toshiba 3401. I
almost bought an NEC 3xi but found out the good deal I was offered was not
warrenteed by NEC since they built it for OEM use. Decided against that.
Saved a bundle because the Chinon with controller was still $100 less than
the NEC w/o the controller.
Magazine tests show it to be about the fastest of the 2x drives.
I am very happy with it. Only thing is that the audio cable to the back
of it is hard to find.

... never mind ...! I played the Mac-Version on an LC-III. It's a real
good feelin.... but after a few weeks my PC-Version (1.1) was faster than
the LC-III Mac-Version (1.3) !!!
There are some tricks for Windows (3.1 - WfW 3.11) !!!
1. Stop multitasking (386 enh.)
2. Don't use screensavers
3. Increase the memory-buff. of your CD-ROM (MSCDEX)
4. VERY IMPORTANT: DECREASE your virt. memory =>>> 4MB
(386 enh.)
So Journeyman HAS to use your main memory !!! You'll see ... all
animation will run faster !!!
Maybe you'll get the drivers for your VGA-Card! Try the changes ... and
have fun.....
... for all your Journeyman-Problems I've got the solution... (Mac as

This was a good point. I did try it out on a 486 at work. (it
wouldn't work in it either) But I am not certain as to how much
RAM it had. But if that is the case, then I at least I can't depend
on that brand to work with my equipment. I am planning on upgrading
to eight megs of Ram in the next month or so. So maybe it will work
then. That is if they send it back to me. It has been gone three

Yes, I understand and agree. I have been buying cd disc's for about
two months now. I have bought about fifteen of them. All kinds.
This Pier5 is the only one which gave me this kind of trouble.
I have had interface problems with some of them. Either I didn't
understand how to set them up, or they just didn't work.
I was able to access and copy the files off of them through Dos
commands.
It takes much longer than using the interface but I could get to them.
Which I don't mind doing. But this Pier5 one would not allow me to do
that. I could get the interface to work partly...
The interface program is set to the hard drive through a install.exe.
But it wouldn't work at all. It would give me a CDR 101 error.
But I could read the disc's directories through dos's DIR command.
I could go to into the directories.. I found the interface program in
one of them. I couldn't install the interface off the cd but if I
could copy the interface program from the cd to my hard drive and from
there install it on my hard drive.
Once I was in the interface I could see all of the cd's file
directories and attempt to copy them from the cd to my hard drive.
but as it was transferring the files it would give me CDR 101 errors
and if I kept hitting the retry option it would and wouldn't complete
the copy. I had to hit the retry fifty times on some files..
But there was an odd occurence.... In the top cd's directories I
would get a hundred percentage of transfers but as I went down the
directory list it would get worst.. in the last few directories it
would not give me any file transfers..
It was so close to working that I could taste it...
I fooled with it for days.. hours each day.. I just finally got
frustrated with it.. and sent it back...
I am new at this and I am learning as I go.
I live in a very small community here in the hills of Ky and there
aren't any local BBS's and I have to call long distance for to connect
to one. So downloading shareware files is not an option for me.
So I buy the Shareware cd disc's to have access to the programs.
Thanks for your opinions.
Let me know if you are interested in the History disc's. I have the
magazine where I found them. I will post it for you.

I don't know if I can be of any help. But I have had some experience
with your type of problem.
First of all some disks require a faster computer and higher RAM than
they claim.
Second some cdrom drivers require different set ups.
I have had two experiences which were confusing to me.
One was a disc. It just would not work right. I kept getting the CDR
101 error with this one disc... (Pier5)
I have twenty other disc's and they all work perfectly...
But this one disc gave me constant problems. It would work some of
the features but not all of them.
I finally gave up and returned the disc to the manufacters...
Now the other problem I had just might be more in your area..
I bought my cd rom driver and it came with it's own driver..
Everything worked perfectly...
Then in the mail came an advertisement from the place I bought my
cdrom driver.. A Great New driver upgrade.. going to make my drive
ten thousand times faster... access quicker.. just about do
everything one would desire...
I ordered it. Two weeks later here it came...
Now this was from the people who I bought my driver from. This new
driver was made just for my cd rom driver.....
Well in the box was a floppy with the new .sys file. Just install it
on the hard drive and bingooooo all perfect..
Then I picked up this little piece of paper.. an innocent looking
sheet of one of the finest shades of white I had ever seen...
The paper read:
Your BSR 6800mx driver first used a driver which did not require a
"waiting station" now this new one does. Which means that you will
have to make certain that your IRQ is set properly....
You have a choice of using either one of the three IRQ stations.
2, 3 or 5...
Just change a little clip on your cdrom card.. to one of the three
above numbers:
00 IRQ 2
00 IRQ 3
00 IRQ 5
Place the little clip on the top two pins for IRQ 2
or on the middle pins for IRQ 3
and the bottom pins for IRQ 5
I did that... when I booted up I received CDR 101
I changed the card to all of the above different settings..
Still CDR 101..
time to call the technical support....
"Oh sir, you have to change the little blue buttoms on the the Switch
no# 2 on the bottom left side of the card..
You have to find a waiting station which is free...
You have four hundred different settings.... for each setting you
have to turn the seven switches on your card to the proper settings
according to your manual...
Address No. #
1. on
2. on
3. off
4. off
5. off
6. on
7. off
8. on
If that doesn't work go to the next address on your list..
Adress No. # 2
1. off
2. on
4. off
5. on
6. off
7. on
8. on
if that doesn't work go to the next address..
etc.. only four hundred of them to try out. One of them will work..
After seven hours of flipping switches and booting up... nothing..
I finally said, enough of this.. I went back to the first driver and
put the Great New Wonderful upgrade in it's box and have lived happily
ever since..
Now, I don't know what your problem is.. But you might read your
manual and see what it saids about the Address Base your unit needs ot
have. Also which IRQ it is set to read from.
You can only have one IRQ set for each of your cards in your computer.
Your printer is on one. Your mouse on another, your modem on another.
If you have Dos 6.2 just hit the msd program and look up the IRQ's
list on it. It will show you which computer part you have and which
IRQ it is using. You need to look for a free one and set the cdrom to
it. And find out how to set the switches on your cdrom card to
address that number..
Good luck.. I hope you do it better than I did..I know how to do it,
I just don't have the time to fool with all those different
combinations....

Hi Jim,
JT>I just printed out a map this morning that is about 125 miles. It took
JT>about 4 or 5 minutes per page to print (3 pages). I have 16 Mb of RAM
JT>and don't use a swapfile, it seems faster this way. I have been toying
JT>with the idea of turning off the Print Manager to see if that would
JT>speed things up.
Try all the combinations and see what works best for your programs. I
printed 3 pages of maps in about 15 minutes and found out that yellow
was used up. New cartridge sells for $48.99 + 7% tax at the office
store. Color printing is expensive but the maps look so much nicer.
Which program gives you the option of printing TT fonts as graphics?
Lettering isn't as clear as I'd like using the map programs older than
Map'n'Go. There is a lot more to learn than "insert CD"!
Watch for the number of colors if you do copy and paste of a map to
another program like Paint Shop Pro. We have the older Street Atlas CD
without direct printing. One of the CD-ROM maps was set to print in 16
million colors after we had been experimenting with the paint program.

loading but then that it.
I bought this drive 2nd hand so I need some echo help. Even a phone

Glad to see you back, Tim!! I hope the "trick" which I provided worked on you.
The bad news is that the same 'hiss sound' came back again a few days ago.
This time it happend even when WINDOWS running without 32B-DA. I made
different approach this time and it worked again!! I opened the case and
put my SB16-SCSI2 to a different slot. The reasons why I did that are two...
1. I suspect that some slots on my motherboard have the defeciency when running
in 16 bit.
2. Maybe there are some electrical circulation in the case and disturb the
sound card.
I have overheard these two problem in the other cases. Do you still have the
warranty on your card?? If you do, I truly suggest that you go to the dealer
and perhaps exchange a new one or test your card on a different machine. My
dealer refused to do that and now I am on my own :(. Anyway, the technical
support from Creative Lab told me that I might have a bad CSP chip. They had my
system references and for more than a month now, they never call back. I am
upset with those hossils and see if you have any solution from dealer or
actually solving the problem, either way will be a valuable info to me. :)

Subj: CD-ROM Drive? Any standar Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Dear C H Cheung,
Recently more CD-ROM Drives released with many format standard support!
And cheap prices.
Below are some brands;
(I) Sony CDU-33A:- supports a) CD-i
b) Multi-session
c) Kodak PhotoCD
d) Audio-CD
e) CD-XA ready (i.e. (a)+(b)
It is an internal one with Sony AT-BUS control interface slot support
(II) Wearnes New brands CD-ROM drives from USA:- supports
all of Sony CDU-33A can do plus:
Fast forward control & playback button on front panel to play Audio-CD
independently (depends on internal drive / external drive)
If internal, get power from Computer; external: separate power cord for AC.
Besides, Wearnes have many models support different controller interface:-
a) AT-BUS interface
*b) IDE controller interface (i.e. using the general IDE HDD/FDD controller
to control it without adding extra one, great?!)
c) parallel port interface with cables optional supplied (like printer
parallell port connection. Good idea too)
** I don't know whether Wearnes provide SCSI interface yet or not. Anyone knows
please tell me.
Lastly, its prices it very attractive e.g. the AT-BUS one internal with
price $900 OR less in retail price. IDE interface next cheap one & parallel
port the most expensive. Last, external ones usually is HK$400 - $900 more than
the same grade internal ones.
For parties interested in Sony CDU-33A internal one (price $950 or less),
you may contact me by leaving messages to Those great nets (username Kenneth
Chan / Gemini Chan). I may individually calll back you if you leave contact
phone no. / pager etc. as I am very busy now (working for > 14 hrs /day).
It is a good bargaining one with AT-bus interface & now its removal mechanism
is improved: no longer eject CD out to floor.
For (b) Wearnes, if anyone can make authorized dealers / wholesalers /
resellers etc. pls leave messages too. (& up-to-date info about it) Thanks very
much !!!!
Best regards,
Kenneth CK CHAN

I think Telstar 16 is better because it use Pro-Audio Sound Card and
Future Domain is very good to use as it can control more than 1 SCSI device.
So, I suggest you to buy Telstar.

Pro-Audio Magic 16 is very compatible under OS/2 and Windows 3.1
Meanwhile, it can now support CD-I (ATL's technical support said). But we have
to wait the new driver.

Try to install it with font add in under control panel, and, switch off the

Hello Michael Cheng,

MC> Pro-Audio Magic can support OS/2.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Do you mean a operating system need the support from
a sound card?
Do you run OS/2 and successfully get this sound card
working?
According to the readme file of OS/2 beta 2.99, It
does not mention this new sound card.
I just wonder you are the user of this card or the
selling agency of ATL. What can I tell you is that
I am totally unhapply with ATL's product.
In fact, if this sound card are different or
better than SB, it may too new to have OS/2 sound
system driver.
I have bought the Fusionlx (ATL's product), shop people
told me it was supported by OS/2 and the words printed
on the outter box said too. But it was not.
Best Rgds. :-)

You have made the right choice. I was not talking that the OS/2
was bad. I personally like this operating system. You know Pro
Audio Magic is not Pro Audio 16 (PAS 16). As far as I know, the
older version of PAS 16 (like what you are using now) is OK with
OS/2 because it is using MV508 chip not MV508B (that is my PAS16).
I think you were misunderstanding my opinion. I just told you to
be awared of the "PRO AUDIO MAGIC" sound card because it may use
other new chips that are not yet supported by OS/2.
Best Rgds. :-)

Which contorllor you used?
Can it perform a transfer rate at 600K/sec with your controllor?
Can it control with the UltraSound Max?
Have a nice day!

Use the magic disappearing ink. You can find this on Isle of the Crown. The
Pawn broker will dump some things in a pot outside his door to the left.
Rummage through it and find a bottle.

Manufacturer: Sony Electronic Publishing
Price: Varies
I had been looking forward to picking up Mayo Clinic for quite a
while. I found it for about $20 in the Computer Shopper, so I went for
it.
Unfortunately, even though this disc contains a great deal of
wonderful medical data, it is bogged down by an unwieldy interface.
Just booting up the disc on my older Sony drive takes an eternity due
to the cutesy animations that are put there to entertain and wow us.
Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. I wish CD-ROM makers would skip
the glitz and get down to business.
Also, the search engine requires Windows to run and there is no way to
export the data to a text file. The data seems to be encrypted on the
disc as well. Bummer.
I also experienced random GPFs when using the Windows interface. Not
what I expect from a professional product, to say the least.
Thus, if you need medical information, you may want to try the paper
copy of Mayo or pick up Family Doctor which, although not as
exhaustive a reference, is a lotoeasier to deal with. Mayo could be a
great product with a decent interface, faster boot up time and
exportable data. In its present form, however, it is seriously flawed.

Yes, you can install a cdrom drive. I had my cdrom running on:
8088 XT with 640 RAM
286 AT with two megs of RAM
386 DX 40 with four megs of RAM
It worked fine with all of the above systems.
It just worked faster with the quicker systems.
Go for it. You will love the world of CDROM..
It seems software is going to the cdrom form.
I receive many computer magazines. Here lately all of the software
advertisments are in the CDROM forms.
Each disc is like a 650 meg hard drive.

Thanks for the reply.....I just set up my HP driver to print the maps in
black only, and it worked with no problem, so the problem is with Map N'
Go printing color maps on an HP Deskjet. I sure wish Delorme would take
a better attitude about the problem and fix it, instead of them blaming
HP. Like I said in my original post, I have Street Atlas USA Version 2,
which came out LONG before Map N' Go, and it prints fine in color on my
HP.
Thanks for the tip.....now at least I can print the maps in black and
white in a reasonable amount of time.....but color looks so great!

It all depends on what you want it for. We have Encarta and find it
to be very slick, but the content is geared more for high-school

Hey Everyone!
I've just picked up a Pioneer DRM-600 CD changer, and was hoping
someone out there could provide the specs. I don't even have the external
cable for it yet, so don't know what to expect. Is this a double/single speed
drive - how about access times. Anyways, I'm also going to need software for
my BBS, as there would simply be to many areas for a single menu. What CD-ROM
door do people like? I want a simple one that supports a temp copy to HD, so
node 2 can access disks once a d/l is started. Any help greatly appreciated!

Are you having troubles? I'm going to be adding a DRM600 to my system
this week, and run an Adaptec 1522 (hopefully soon to be a busmastering
controller though - either 1542, or a Buslogic). Only thing I know of, is if
the device driver supports embedded targets, it must be enabled - usually
through a parameter on the DEVICE= line... Hope it helps (might try /ET)!

It may sound too simple, but is a VERY common problem, and a usually overlooked
detail: many CDs require they be "installed," and this usually creates a small
.BAT file which tells the system where the CD-ROM is in the PATH. The obvious
cure, using your method (if that is, indeed, your problem) is to edit that .BAT
file to show the new PATH to the files. The PRIME directive in computing is to
ALWAYS remember that computers are so stupid they do only what you tell them to
do, and not what you want them to do. If something doesn't perform like you
want, check to see what you told it to do.

Please, is there someone to help me!?
I have an old Cd-Rom drive from Mitsumi serie CRMC-LU Internal.
The problem is that the driver (MTMCDD.SYS v1.5) that came with it
don't use XMS/EMS memory and it's "eating" too much memory !!!
I have tested the new version of the driver but it don't work
with my Cd-Rom model!
Please help me!
Regards,
Sergio Andre

What type of graphics card do you have? Try and get an updated driver
for it. Most people that have problems with 7th Guest occurs due to an
outdated driver. You also have to load the Vesa driver with some cards.
Try calling the bulletin board for your video card and/or Trilobytes
board, number should be in the manual somewhere.

Go into the Print Manager program, pick your printer and select OPTIONS

Graphics', it looks a LOT better.
Good luck!

Nope! However, over the last few years, whenever I was called by their

would take the time to point out that I was very happy with my paper

Yikes! It sounds like their problem is that they are being forced to
move from a "printing-costed" product to a "research-costed" product.
It may cost them $100-200 to print the Brittanica on paper, and they
make a big markup selling them for $1000 (or whatever they're charging,
these days.) What they will eventually realize is that they will
probably sell MANY more units on CDROM at $100, which cost $2 to
"print."

I was wondering if anyone out there in Fidoland had a Gravis UltraSound
(Original, not the GUS Max), and used it with a CD-Rom drive. I'm thinking
about purcahsing a drive (Either Double or Triple) and need the CD-Rom upgrade,
but don't want to shell out another 200 bucks for the GusMAX.
I have a few questions:
A: How much is the Upgrade, and where can I get it
B: What would be a good reliable CD-Rom drive for the GUS (2x or 3x)
C: Would it be compatible with most games if I ran the Drive off of the Gus? (I
KNOW Rebel Assualt has Gus support (Read the box), but what about MegaRace and
cool ones like that?)
D: How hard would it be to install this stuff
.
Anyone who can help will be most appreciated by me (Ugh, I hate how that came
out)
Thanks

Robert this is just not true if you purchase one of the door cdrom
programs like Romdoor, Rombrain or Ezrom (I use Rombrain mainly for the
excellent tech support Stanley Sheff provides)
>(the double-speed version of the 604) on a single line BBS. Whilst my lone

With Romdoor or Rombrain the online searches are done through a ascii
data base and the disks are not accessed at all. The only time the
disks are accessed is when the download is selected and the files are
copied to hard disk.
BM> RB> The reason I ask is the 5 sec disk spin on the change..... is it

With Rombrain, the users will not fight over the CD as only one user can
access it at one time...No problem there at all...

Vince, sorry to hear your having problems with the NEC's CD-ROM. The

to my SoundBlaster SCSI II card. I replaced a 2x for the NEC and to be
quite honest I don't see much difference in performance.. but hey at
least it "looks" nice and I already had a large collection of
CD-Caddies. A client of mine had many problems but it was the SCSI card
and not the Rom itself. Let me know in more detail about your problem
and I may no someone who can help.
As for the CD-ROM trade, I alread own DOOM II and sold Hell Cab a few
months ago.. let me know what else you may want to trade.

I think it's a good cd although I wasn't really thrilled with the "no
hassel" install routine that set it up with no dma or interrupts
enabled. I prefer the hardware [card] to be configured instead of the
software. I am satified with it's performance it seems to be reliable
other than the observed tendancy to fail reading a slightly dirty disk.

Have you got the mscdex running in your autoexec.bat file?
Try putting in the line mscdex.exe /d:mscd001 /m:15 in your autoexec.bat file.
The part that goes "/d:mscd001", the numbers must match what you entered for
you cd driver in your config.sys file. If this doesn't work the bbs number for
Philips is 310-532-6436.

When you start up the game, go to the LOAD GAME option. There should be one

Well, Canada Customs has a "hit list", that includes such titles as
the Seedy Rom 6 Pak, Busty Babes 1, etc. If they are discovered
upon import, they are seized. I would expect that US Customs has
similar policies, in light of the CD title crackdown over the past
year or so.

you and are very happy with them, the problem is on one of them the little bar

wondering if you had any more cases and if so what you'd part with one for. I
don't need anything but the case.
Thanks..

From what I have seen on various pricings, Forbidden Subjects and Return
to Zork are selling for about the same. Therefore, it should be an across
the board trade. Are you asking me to make you a cash offer for Return to
Zork? If so, I am not yet ready to buy a copy, would rather get the

Gosh, seems these days, most people actually *buy* commercial programs.
Check with QEMM directly to see if they have an upgrade available on their

Hello All!
The files for Cream of the Crop 5 are backed up and shipped for
pre-mastering. If everything "clicks" together during the next
few days Cream 5 should be going to press on Monday Oct 24th.
Anyone interested in getting a listing of the files that will be
included on Cream 5 can call my BBS (205-824-2611) and download
Cream_5.zip or file request the magic file name "Cream_5" from
3625/441. I'm running a 28.8 modem and the file size is 200k.
Here is some info on Cream 5:
* Average file date: August 10th 1994
* Contains 620 megs of the highest quality shareware released
between May and November 1994
* There are LESS than 200 file dupes with any other shareware
cd on the market (except with Monster 94 v. 2 which has 480).
* The front end view and retrieval program has been VASTLY
improved to include such features as displaying the files in
the Work Directory that have been uncompressed from the cd
...AND then browse the text files or execute .EXE and .COM
programs or uncompress .ZIP, .LZH and .ARJ archives that the
author may have placed inside the archives that are on the
cd. The browse program is very complete with 35 features
including search, block mark for printing (or writing to
disk), text markers and Hex toggle... just to mention a few.
Other changes have been made to allow the creation of new
directories on the fly when copying or uncompressing files or
moving files from the work directory to a permanent directory.
* Cream 5 has automatic BBS installation/setup programs for
Maximus, Proboard, Spitfire, Rbbs, QBBS and a partial setup
for Pcboard and a program to build the .FAR files for TBBS.
Note: Even after meeting and discussing this setup program
with the folks from Wildcat BBS and Major BBS at One BBSCon
in Atlanta, I still haven't received the necessary info on
the file structures to support these BBS's... I guess they
don't care if the sysops running their software have to type
out the paths and category descriptions for 30+ areas every-
time they set up a cd rom disc? I have also written a program
to automatically install Cream on a TAG bbs but I could not
get the shareware version of TAG to run and could not find a
TAG sysop to test the program to see if it really worked as
expected. I will add support for ANY bbs if I am provided
with the necessary information... usually I need to know only
two things: 1. The structure for the data file that contains
the info on the path and category description for the files
that are available for download. 2. The format required to
display the extended portion of the file descriptions correctly.

Perhaps you are new in this echo and as a result you don't know
Mike Shannon but I can assure you that he is an upright business
man and you don't have anything to worry about. I have
personally shipped him over a thousand dollars worth of product
several times and I always collected - without ANY delay or
hastle\ (I wish I could say that for all my vendors). If he were
out to burn anyone he wouldn't sour his reputation on a $10 disc
when he has had the opportunity to walk off with over $1,000
worth of my product.
BTW... I use a P.O. Box also and I never have taken advantage of
anyone. The reason MOST businesses use a P.O. Box is to protect
the pre-paid orders they are receiving from someone simply
beating them to their normal mail box and making an
"unathorized" visit... especially when they go on a trip for a
couple days. It would surprise you to find out how many
customers will put good old green U.S. dollars in an envelope.

Hi Marty,
MB>Thanks for the tip.....now at least I can print the maps in black and
MB>white in a reasonable amount of time.....but color looks so great!
Just found a source of refill ink for my color printer and spare
cartridges left in the cupboard when the color printer was not being
used regularly. It would be nice to have a switch between two printers.
Hope that all the map CD companies will consider including printing
options so that maps can be viewed in full color, but the printing can
be done with less ink. One program allows ocean color to be turned off
for example.
I haven't bought the CD version of my family history program yet because
it is the same as the version I'm using. Makes nice charts with colored
borders. I want to do some maps to go with the family stories.

SV> Oi ALL,......
SV> CD-ROM: problemático, enfadonho, lento e frustante.
SV> por Jim Carlton do The Wall Street Journal.
SV> ------------------------
SV> Os negócios de CD-ROM eståo aumentando - e o mesmo acontece com as
SV> queixas dos clientes sobre esse produto.
SV> O número de computadores pessoais equipados com dispositivos de
SV> multimídia deverá dobrar este ano para 12 milhöes. As vendas de discos
SV> de CD-ROM deveråo aumentar mais que o dobro, para US$ 3.7 bilhoes. Mas
SV> muitos compradores eståo frustados e irritados com a complexidade de
SV> instalaçåo do CD-ROM e seus programas, a baixa qualidade de muito
SV> desses produtos e as limitaçöes inerentes do próprio sistema.
SV> " Eu diria que as pessoas nåo eståo satisfeitas com mais de 50% dos
SV> softwares de CD que obtêm", afirma Lee Isgur, diretor-gerente da
SV> Jefferies CO., uma corretora de San Francisco. " No momento, a
SV> qualidade em geral é bastante baixa. muitos desses produtos såo
SV> tediosos".
SV> As frustaçöes dos consumidores enquadram-se em três categorias gerais:
SV> o software nåo é compativel com o computador ou exige memoria do
SV> computador em excesso. O toca-CD-ROm é lento demais, de modo que a
SV> imagem fica trêmula e há muitas paradas longas. E equipar um
SV> computador pessoal nåo integrado à multimídia com leitor de CD e
SV> acessórios de som e vídeo oferece muitos riscos. (Os analistas dizem
SV> que a compatibilidade e os problemas de instalaçåo såo menos comuns em
SV> computadores Macintosh.) Cerca de 40% dos leitores de CD foram
SV> acrescentados a computadores pessoais por meio de um "kit", e nåo
SV> vieram já instalados no equeipamento. Como a maioria dos consumidores
SV> nem consegue regular o relógio nos seus gravadores de videocassete,
SV> desvendar as entranhas de um computador freqüentemente é assustador
SV> demais. A instalaçåo de um "kit" de mutimídia pode exigir, entre
SV> outras coisa, mexer nas chaves, reformatar os discos rígidos e expandir
SV> a memória.
SV> AGRURAS DE UM PIONEIRO
SV> ----------------------
SV> Ken Birringer, um engenheiro elétrico de Ypsilanti, Michigan, é uma
SV> espécie de pioneiro de CD-ROM no seu bairro. Ele comprou um computador
SV> pessoal de multimídia da Dell Computer Corp. há um ano para si e seus
SV> filhos, e submeteu a teste software de CD para o newsletter Children
SV> Software Revue, como parte da pesquisa sobre pequenos consumidores por
SV> essa publicaçåo. Como muitos pioneiros, Birringer sofreu mais do que
SV> sua parcela de desventuras. Primeiro, sua máquina Dell chegou sem o
SV> encaixe plastico necessário para inserir os " compact disks". Depois de
SV> fazer três telefonemas à Dell e esperar cinco dias pelo cassete.
SV> Birringer diz que ligou o computador para descobrir que nåo rodava o
SV> seu programa de enciclopédia Encarta da Microsoft Corp. Os técnicos da
SV> Dell lhe disseram que o cartåo interno de vídeo nåo estava tendo
SV> ligaçåo, segundo Birringer, e recomendaram que usasse seu modem para
SV> copiar software especial da Dell para corrigir o problema. Gravar o
SV> programa levou três horas e meia no decorrer de um período de dois
SV> dias. Os gerentes da Dell em Austin nåo responderam aos telefonemas
SV> para solicitar comentários.
SV> Depois que consegui que a máquina funcionasse, Birringer descobriu
SV> que o software nem sempre operava. Ele diz que recentemente tentou
SV> jogar " Return to Zork ", da Activision, quando o som parou e a imagem
SV> da tela começou a se repetir. Birringer teria pedido ajuda à
SV> Activision, de Los Angeles, mas desistiu quando viu que o número do
SV> telefone nåo era a cobrar. Deste modo, ele devolveu o jogo à loja. A
SV> Children's Software Revue, tambem em Ypsilanti, relata que os
SV> consumidores na sua pesquisa de 14 famílias disseram que cerca de um
SV> terço do tempo nåo conseguiam que um programa de multimídia
SV> funcionasse. "Precisava ser como um tostador", diz Warren Buckleiter,
SV> editor do "newsletter". "Você ligae ele funciona". O problema
SV> relacionado com a simplicidade, entretanto, é que a multimidia é uma
SV> tecnologia emergente e as falhas ainda eståo sendo resolvidas. Além
SV> disso, grande parte da tecnologia de multimídia mais avançada está
SV> entrando primeiro no mercado menos sofisticado de consumo, em vez de
SV> passar pelos canais normais de empresa. Quando ele tentou instalar
SV> seu leitor de CD-ROM recentemente, James Benjamin Ehrlich, um médico de
SV> Scarsdale, Nova York, acabou danificando a placa-måe de seu computador.
SV> Ele disse que um técnico da empresa Gateway o orientou por telefone até
SV> que ele provocou sem querer um curto-circuito no equipamento. Ehrlich
SV> consegui recuperar a placa-måe mas ainda nåo ligou o leitor de CD-ROM.
SV> ESFORÇO DE MEMóRIA
SV> ------------------
SV> Mesmo que um computador pessoal venha com leitor de CD-ROMinstalado, e
SV> mesmoque este dispositivo funcione direito, alguns programas nåo
SV> funcionamporque exigem memória excessiva. Algunsperitos pode ficar
SV> frustados. Mark Stahlman, um analista do setor de computaçåo em NY, diz
SV> que a versåo de "Best Neighborhood Ever", da Activision, para
SV> computador pessoal reescreveu um arquivo, de modo que seu sistema
SV> operacional Windows nåo funcionou. Ele desativou o programa de CD para
SV> que o seu computador voltasse a funcionar.
SV> Robert A. Kotick, executivo-chefe da Activision, afirma que desconhece
SV> qualquer grande problema com o "Return to Zork" ou o programa "Scarry"
SV> e sugere que pode haver problemas nos computadores pessoais de Stahlman
SV> e Birringer.
SV> A baixa velocidade em CD-ROM é outro grande ponto negativo,
SV> especialmente quando se joga videogame e se lê livro computadorizado.
SV> Arthur J. Berman diz que pagou US$ 295 por um programa denominado
SV> "Physician GenRx" da Denniston Publishing Inc., uma espécie de relaçåo
SV> de dados de medicamentos, só para descobrir que é lento demais para ser
SV> usado por ele durante as consultas médicas. " É mais rápido se eu
SV> usar um livro", garante. Os dirigentes da Denniston concordam que os
SV> programas de CD-ROM freqüentemente såo lentos, mas dizem que há uma
SV> limitaçåo na capacidade e na memória do computador. Com a introduçåo
SV> de microprocessadores de maior capacidade, segundo os analistaas, a
SV> velocidade aumentará. Os dirigentes do setor admitem que a computaçåo
SV> de multimídia permanecerá complexa para as massas até que a nova
SV> tecnologia a simplifique, talvez dentro de cinco anos. Enquanto isso,
SV> existem problemas. Os níveis de devoluçåo eståo aumentando e os
SV> fornecedores de CD podem estar se preparando para uma demanda que nåo
SV> é tåo forte como pensam. Joey Tamer, presidente da S.O.S. Inc., uma
SV> empresa de consultoria baseada em Marina del Rey, California, diz que
SV> ouviu falar da devoluçåo de 20% do "7th Guest", um jogo popular de
SV> mistério fornecido pela Virgin Interactive Entertainment Inc. durante
SV> seus primeiros seis meses no mercado em 1993. Tamer declara que as
SV> devoluçöes de CD-ROM såo tantas que alguns distribuidores de produtos
SV> de pequenas empresas reservam 15 a 20% do dinheiro dos fornecedores
SV> para compensar as devoluçöes. Uma porta-voz da Virgin argumenta que as
SV> devolucoes do "7th Guest" såo muitas só porque um grande número do
SV> jogo foi vendido.
SV> PROGRAMAS INERTES
SV> -----------------
SV> Além disso, os resultados preliminares de uma recente pesquisa da
SV> Dataquest Inc. indicaram que 43% dos 300 consumidores que a empresa
SV> consultou no país nåo manifestaram planos de comprar programas de
SV> CD-ROM, além dos que vieram nos seus equipamentos de multimídia. Na
SV> verdade, os programas embutidos såo responsáveis por uma expressiva
SV> parcela das vendas de CD-ROM. A menos que o setor de computadores adote
SV> medidas rapidamente para superar as frustraçöes, "poderá enfrentar a
SV> insatisfaçåo reprimida dos consumidores e provocar uma reaçåo negativa
SV> no futuro", adverte a analista Janice Maloney do "newsletter"
SV> Technology and Media, de Sao Francisco, CA (USA).

Thanks for the info! I have my new Pioneer sittin' next to me here! in
fact I'm waiting on 2 more.
I'm running RoboFX BBS which I have setup to read a file database on
the local drives. FX imports files.bbs into its database files, this
will allow all users to view/list/search for files on any media at the
same time. the CD (like RomBrain) will only spin to copy to the
workstation.
Do you know of a BBS which has a collection of scsi drivers?
Oh yes, what do I do when I hit drive Z? <VBG>

Thas OK. I have been hesitant myself about sending money to somebody that

I am about to give up on trying to sell or trade CDROMs here. I have been
trying for about 2 months now, and no luck. I see trade messages going
back and forth, but I wonder how much actual trading occurs. I guess you
just gotta hit it right, and perhaps inthe same area of the country. I
guess the delay from coast to coast gives enough time that local echos
react quicker and get the deal. <sigh>

###
###If WildCAT is capable of the above, one solution to the remaining problem

+-------------------------------+
Wildcat "knows" Pioneers. And thus... avoids collisions between
different users on-line by treating each installed changer differently.
It also has its own set of rules for handing possible conflicts between
users online.
It also does a "copy files from cd-rom drive on download" feature too.
Never once has my Pioneer screwed up cause different people on different
lines were downloading all at the same time. Never once. I'll be
getting another one of the changers before this year is through.

noticed that sometimes it's transfer rate is much slower than it's theoretical
150 kb/s. Does anyone have some experience with optimizing these?
The adapter card has an option to use a DMA channel. Is this worth doing?

When installing the font through the Control Panel, there is an option called
"Copy
font to Windows directory" or some such - if you turn this off, it will not be
copied.
The catch is that if you want to use the font later, you have to have the
source still
there (that is, the CD). How large is the font file? Is it really worth the
extra ag?

Yes. The access rate is 120ms, and the throughput is 600+ kbps. I ran a

Any recommendations on where to buy it?
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, so the prices are usually less than
mailorder. You can call Central Computer Co. in Santa Clara, Ca. They are
very honest, and competetive. The number is (408) 241-0185. If you're not

to you.

> I have a few questions:
> A: How much is the Upgrade, and where can I get it
I think you can get one that supports Pannasonic, Sony and Mitsumi drives
directly from Advanced Gravis. It should only cost about $20.
If you have an extra slot in the back of your machine, you should just
use a normal controller card (one comes bundled with a Mitsumi) and
forget about hooking the drive up to the GUS. It won't make a difference
anyway (except for saving the slot).
> B: What would be a good reliable CD-Rom drive for the GUS (2x or 3x)
Well, I have a Mutsumi Double Speed which I am happy with. Since
you're in the States, you should be able to pick one up with the
controller card for about $130.
> C: Would it be compatible with most games if I ran the Drive off of the
Gus?
> I KNOW Rebel Assualt has Gus support (Read the box), but what about
MegaRace
> and cool ones like that?)
Well, don't use Rebel Assault with a GUS unless you have a very fast
computer. For some reason it doesn't use DMA's for GUS support (or
something like that) so the gameplay will majorly slow down. Luckily
this seems to be the only game that does this sort of thing.
As for other games, most less expensive games (such as MegaRace) don't
usually support the GUS. You could always try to use an emulator though.
> D: How hard would it be to install this stuff
Not hard at all. If you buy a Mitsumi drive all you have to do is follow
the instructions. It takes about 20 minutes to get it all set up.

No problem. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Howard, there is lots to do on the first day. Helpful hint - make sure
you LOOK AT everything and talk to everyone until they start repeating
themselves. The Bookstore on the first day will give you lots of hints
on where to go, who to talk to, etc. Read the books on the shelves -
that's how I got the clue for opening the clock. Also look at things
more than once. Everytime I read certain books I got different passages.
Have fun!

Hi Ken... I just want to tell you that
the first line is bad for your system...
You should remove the the /testmem:off
Because Himem will check you memory so if there have some
defective memory... you would be able to detect it..
I had use this feature.. before... but I am laying to my self
about my having a not compatible memory which led me to various
crashes... in the system operation at certain time

Calin, it's not necessarily the fault of Reveal. But that's what
you get when you buy on price alone, at Future Shop.
There are many other small dealers around the Toronto area, that may
charge a little more but, at least provide some personal service.

Well, I think the title of the message says it all. I recently picked up a
CDi machine and about 25 disks with it (!) and would like more (greedy b*st*rd
that I am). Anyone have anything that meets this criteria?
Also looking for priced-to-sell CD's for CDTV (and CD32, natch).

-> When you start up the game, go to the LOAD GAME option. There
-> should be one
-> game there called OPEN HOUSE. Load that one in, and then the Sphinx
-> board corners will work.
I checked my load-game numbers. There are none called OPEN HOUSE. The
only ones there are the ones I put in during the course of playing the
game and saving at different points.
Any ideas as to why the game didn't write that in after I completed the
last puzzle and had the final drama?

Subj: Gravis UltraSound + CD-Ro Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
On 10-16-94 Vicki Selby was heard to ask of anybody:
VS>I was wondering if anyone out there in Fidoland had a Gravis
VS>UltraSound (Original, not the GUS Max), and used it with a CD-Rom
I run the Gravis UltraSound original with a Chinon 535 with excellent
performance.
VS>drive. I'm thinking about purcahsing a drive (Either Double or
VS>Triple) and need the CD-Rom upgrade, but don't want to shell out
VS>another 200 bucks for the GusMAX.
I don't know what you are referring to about an upgrade! Sound cards
don't intimately interface to CDROM drives. They interface to the
computer bus, and as long as the computer can talk to them, (meaning the
program you are running also) then they will also work with CDROM
programs. I have selected a windows driver that works with the Gravis, so
anything that runs under windows *automatically* works with the Gravis.
For most games that run under DOS (they tend to be written for the
SoundBlaster) I load the Gravis TSR that makes it look like a
soundblaster.
You may be interpreting the need to upgrade with the fact that some
SoundBlasters (not all) come with a CDROM controller interface. It is
*incidental* to the sound card that it also has a controller built into
it, but it is not necessary to use a sound card mounted controller for
your CDROM drive. Many people, including myself, use a separate
controller card for the CDROM drive. Some (generally the more expensive)
CDROM drives use a SCSI interface, while the cheaper ones tend to use a
propriatary interface that wouldn't necessarily work with a SoundBlaster
mounted controller.
VS>I have a few questions:
VS>A: How much is the Upgrade, and where can I get it
As per above, you don't need to upgrade. If you are going to be heavily
into games, you might eventually want to swap to a SoundBlaster, but
remember, the Gravis is a true MIDI board and as such has far superior
sound generation capabilities. So, if you are going to be doing other
stuff, then stick with the Gravis.
VS>B: What would be a good reliable CD-Rom drive for the GUS (2x or 3x)
Depends entirely on how much you want to pay. They go anywhere (2X) from
around $120 to around $250 - not necessarily including controller card.
If you are going to the 3X, go ahead and jump to the 4X for about 10-15%
more $$ (total around $500). But, the 2X is probably good for many many
years to come.
VS>C: Would it be compatible with most games if I ran the Drive off of th
VS>Gus? (I KNOW Rebel Assualt has Gus support (Read the box), but what ab
VS>MegaRace and cool ones like that?)
Haven't run too many games to be able to respond on this, but I have yet
to find a game I can't run through the Gravis.
VS>D: How hard would it be to install this stuff
If you are comfortable with getting "under the hood" it is quite literally
a plug and play operation.
VS>Thanks
VS>Vicki
Your're welcome!

My concern is when two callers try to access the cd to copy files at the

I have found that the ExecPC BBS in Wisconsin has the best collection of

worth it.
RB> Oh yes, what do I do when I hit drive Z? <VBG>
Contact Pioneer and get a program called xdisk.exe (I believe; maybe
someone in this conference will correct me if I am wrong) which assigns
one drive letter to the changer and then assigns number id's to each
disk..ie D:/1 D:/2 and so on... I have never used it but have seen
message traffic on it...I am sure there are plenty of experienced folks
who would be willing to help you...

G'day,
Ok, I have a problem with 7th Guest and my SoundBlaster 16 card. For
some reason when I run the game, it sets the voice volume on the SB16
card way down. This makes it impossible to hear the speech, no matter
how loud I turn up the volume on my radio.
Currently, I can use the original SB drivers to get around this problem,
but using the SB Pro or SB16 drivers, I have this problem.
I have a 486DX2/66, 8 megs ram, 2x cdrom drive, and 7th Guest version
1.30.
My SB16 is the Sb16 SCSI-2 card. Any help would be appreciated.
Later!

KH>
KH> CR562b

The B models have a later rom code. The 562 is AKA Panasonic, and the
563 is AKA Creative Labs. Both will work on the several Sound Blaster
lines that support them, but due to a 1 bit rom ID that says it is a
56(2) or 56(3) the Creative driver will not work with a 562. However
the Panasonic driver CDMKE.SYS will work with both. Physicaly and
specification wise they are the same, except the B models I believe
were revised to handle Multi session.

Don't mess with the archer until you've found a shield in the labyrinth. Don't
worry about stick-in-the-mud until you find a teacup.
The answers to the logic cliffs are largely contained in the "storybook" that
came with the CD.

Caro Sérgio...
Pois é...Eu tb adquiri um CD-ROM recentemente, como parte do Kit
MultiShow (da Vitech, que aliás näo fica longe daqui...) e tive alguns
probleminhas com instalaçäo, mas, por sorte, os revendedores (após ter
suado a camisa) conseguiram instalar tudo perfeitamente... MAs em
relaçäo aos CD's em si, acho que muitos CD's às vezes desiludem, parecem
ser uma coisa e na verdade säo outra... Em contrapartida, acho que um
CD-ROM pode também ser uma fonte de informaçöes riquíssima, visto que, à
medida em que o mercado cresce, cresce a gama de produtos e
especializaçöes. Por exemplo, a Ed. Saraiva lançou um CD só com
jurisprudências, para interessados na área jurídica, temos o Aurélio
(apesar das reclamaçöes de alguns bugs) e tb muita coisa relacionada com
a arte e cultura em geral...
Mas, gostei do artigo...

Hi Terry: Thanks for the note. This was not a personal attack on anyone
rather a shot at a ligtlyte deceptive ad.edrrim. I do not know what Winbox is
so the ad caught my eye, CDs, 2 for $9. I am sure this is the effect that was
intended. As I pointed out, that is different from Winbo2 for $9......
I know, lets just call cute advertising and a play with numbers. To
one who gets screwed by mail order 'companies' on a regular basis, this kind
of verbla trickery is not funny.
Many years in the mail order business has taught me to leary of cute
advertising, P.O. Boxes, and Florida addresses. I also have a P.O. Box so
know the advantage of using one.
Happy Hunting

OK Mike, you know what you mean but to the rest of the world '2 for

A salesman at CompUSA told me that some of the music does go thru the

Hey hey,
I have not opened my case for a while but I did turn off 32 bit disk

give them my phone number, just my address. I agree with you though, I

Hey all.
I'm in desperate need of help finding a FM driver for Windows for my Media
Vision Thunder Board that I got with a CD-ROM bundle kit. I don't know if it
really came with one, but don't have the original disks since I moved to go to
school. If anyone could help me retrieve one from a BBS, online service, or
somewhere on the Internet (I've tried Microsoft's FTP site with no luck) then

Hello Vicki!
VS> I was wondering if anyone out there in Fidoland had a Gravis UltraSound
Sure, I have a GUS.
VS> And used it with a CD-Rom drive.
Well, I've got CD...
But, instead of buying a CD-ROM-interface for the GUS, I bought a
Multimedia-bundle from Creative Labs.
Panasonic Multispin (2x) and a SB16.
As you probably already have noticed: There aren't so many games, which
have GUS support, and the SB-comp. is very bad.
That's why I bought a SB16 too.
I think you should at least buy a SB Pro, 'cause then you won't have any
trouble at all with the sound, although: it may be tricky to get them work
together. You should have some experience with soundcards.
A SB Pro has a CD-interface (not SCSI).

How's it going Stephen, eh?
20 Oct 94 11:07, Stephen Powell blurted out this to All, eh:
SP> The adapter card has an option to use a DMA channel. Is this worth doing?
Definately! The DMA is a small chip that runs at the same time as the
processor, and does data transfers (mem->mem, harddrive->mem, card->mem).
Because it runs seperately from the processor, it eats up no processor time,
which can significantly increase performane. For example, I have a Mitsumi 2x,
and I normally load the DMA driver... However, for a couple programs, the DMA
driver is incompatable, so I have to use the non-dma driver...this slows this
thing down by at least a factor of 2 or 3. It's because the driver has to use
the processor to transfer the data and poll the CDROM... Definately go for the
DMA, you'll see a big speed increase.
Take off, hoser.

Just a note for you CD-ROM users who are baseball fans. The CD from
Microsoft named Complete Baseball is an unbelievable CD all about
baseball. To sum up, here's what is on this amazing CD:
- season summaries from 1901 to 1993
- history of the game from the very, very, very beginning
- stats on EVERY single player that has played in the majors (at least
it claims to have the stats for every player and I have yet to find a
player not listed)
- biographies on pretty much EVERY player (definitely not all of them
but anyone who did anything of importance will have a biography)
- all the award winners since the awards came into existence
- all time records, season records etc...etc...
- history of baseball coverage, team histories, and lots more history
of the game
- trivia game to test your knowledge in a variety of categories
- team rosters (for each year), and lots, lots more.....
I do not sell CD-ROM's or anything. This is just an honest review of a
decent product. If you are interested in baseball, this CD is a MUST
HAVE. Now, you must be interested in baseball. If you are just a Jay's
fan or some other team, and want to read about them, don't bother
getting this. On the other hand if you are a fan of the game, get this
ASAP. TTYL.

I start T7G using a simple batch file that alters the SB settings before
the game starts. I don't remember all of the parameters at the moment, but I
just copied the line or two from my autoexec.bat file, and played around with
the settings like OPGAIN, MIDI, VOC, etc., until I got what I wanted. Then
the batch starts T7G, and also returns the sound card settings to normal
before ending.

Subj: 4X CD ROMS & Corrupt Dat Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I just installed a Toshiba XM3501 internal CD drive in a 486-50 machine
with a DPT SCSI HBA. The system is running DOS 5. In order to make the
drive visible to DOS and Windows, it was necessary to obtain MSCDEX.EXE
from the SCSI card mfger. There is also a TOSHIBA.SYS device driver that
came with the SCSI card.
All termination resistors were removed from all but the LAST device in
the chain. All other devices seem to be working fine.
Here's the problem:
I'm getting corrupted files when I copy whole bunches of them from the
CD to the hard drive. They come in OK if I lode one at a time into a
viewer (in the case of TIF & BMP files), but when I copy them direct to
the HDD, many get horizontal bands of mis-aligned pixels.
Several larger AVI files cause a GPF when I play them. WHole directories
copied from the CD to the HDD are almost totally corrupt, except for
maybe the first 1 or 2 files copied.
Now, someone told me not to buy a quad speed drive because the Microsoft
CD extentions "were made for 1X drives and aren't fast enought to
handles 4X drives".
What's the real answer here? Any CD experts have any comments about
drivers and what's required to operate at 4X without errors?

I think I had the same problem! Music was fine. Then when someone
started to speak the volume went WAY down and sounded as if people were
mumbling. I don't know the technical terms (or how these things work),
but this is what I did to fix it. I went into the mixer and raised the
gain level. Whatever that means, it sure helped because now I hear
speech just fine. Hope this works for you!

Now, what part don't you understand? To clarify: We sell a shareware
CD title called "CD Winbox 2" for $18 as a single CD purchase, or $9 when
purchased with any other title, all as shown above. Not exactly brain
surgery. Where's the mistake, and what do you mean by this statement.....
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
DZ>but to the rest of the world '2 for $9' does not mean Winbox2 for $9.
═════════════════════════════════════════════ VεctorQuotε 1.o ═════════════
HUH? I really hope you can shed some light on what you mean, because
whatever point you're trying to make, is completely beyond me. Why don't
you try again, and try to be a little more clear about where you're
coming from. As near as I can tell, you're upset because it's listed as
"WINBOX 2" instead of "WINBOX2".....is that right? If so, #1: I can't
believe you're wasting my time over something so utterly meaningless as
that, and #2: "WINBOX2" is not the correct title anyway. As it's printed
on the cover, the "X" and the "2" are separate. You know, as in "vol. 1",
"vol. 2", etc.? Geez.

Too late for that. Besides, you're the one who jumped in here out of
nowhere and started this b.s., so don't expect me to back down from the

a legitimate gripe, quit dredging up piss-ant minutia like this, and quit

DZ>$9......
═════════════════════════════════════════════ VεctorQuotε 1.o ═════════════
You're way off-base here Dave. I'm sorry you have trouble reading ad
copy, but that was NOT the intended effect. In fact, I didn't even
really know what you were talking about until reading this message.
Believe me, I have far better things to do than sit around and devise
ways to deceive people with "tricky ads". I'm not that clever. In fact,
the string "2 for $9" doesn't even appear in my ad. If you had said in
the beginning that you were referring to the message HEADER, I would have
at least known what you were talking about.
Perhaps you are unaware, but many CD publishers produce more than ONE
volume of a certain title, thus necessitating such names as "Winbox 2",
or "Cream of the Crop 4", or "Night Owl 13". If you saw a similar Night
Owl ad, would you then think you were getting "13" CD's for the price of
one? I would hope not. The correct title of the CD in question, is....
"CD Winbox Volume 2". If I'd advertised it as "Winbox vol. 2 for $9", I
suppose that would have been more accurate, but according to your
methodology above, that would have been equally confusing for you, because
the string "2 for $9" is still there. <sigh>
Here's a tip for you that will solve your problem: IGNORE all my ads and
take your business elsewhere! There. Simple wasn't it? Now why don't
you settle your nerves from all this excitement, and move on to something
more up your alley, like underwater BB stacking.

Actually you can't go up the stairs until you go up one of the

Hello Boris
I wonder if you are getting my msg. I get from you Night Owl13. I get info
from my Visa offic, that you are going to get from me,
3 times $28.00. As i can understand, this is a mistake.
Please let me know if you can find the problem. I think you are going to find
it. In this way i think it will be better an easy to buy some more CD from you.
My account is just now $56.00. If it is ok with you, please send me Night Owl
14 ($20.00) and Pier 6 ($21.00). In the end my account it will be $15.00. With
the $15.00, can you send me
some Ham CD. In this way i will spend all my account.
Is that ok with you ?
I tried to Fax to you, but no answer. Please let me know your opinion .

Not that I know of, I have played it as well as three of my friends

Returned the game to Computer City to be replaced and the salesman told
me that they had to return all the ones that were in stock back to the
manufacturer. But I kept the game, and found that my video driver
caused the save problems.

Well, we have (2) DRM-602X at work and they do work okey, Adept adapter though
I think in the long run you best bet is to sell the 600 and get another 602X
before they get discontinue..if they are not already so..:(

Did you try to re-install the driver(s) that came on the installation disk for
your CD-ROM?
If you have a sound card you should also check to see if it doesn't
interfere with your drive(same DMA or IRQ address).
I had the same problem once;I was able to log to D: but when I issued the
DIR command everything jammed.It was that blasted sound card....

ummm, you can probably get one with a sound card for about $250, but if

DY>The guidebook comes with the CD-ROM. Didn't you get it. Well, anyway
>I've read it twice and haven't gotten any good clues from it.
The guidebook pretty explicitly gives you the information you need to complete
the Cliffs of Logic puzzles. Plus it gives you some important info on genies,
but you can pretty much figure that out through the regular course of the
game.

Ya, I got the game and I had no trouble beating it (on easy and medium). I
can't exactly TELL you how to beat the level, but I'll give you some pretty
good tips.
-only shoot at guys when you KNOW that you will hit them (don't waste bullets)
-the WHITE car is the best
-If you can't beat a level then just keep playing it until you know where all
the power-ups (and power-downs) are
-kill everyone and don't try to zoom past guys without killing them because it
takes FOREVER to reach the next guy
-instead of shooting the first few cars pull up beside them and bash them into
the wall
-if you can time it right sometimes you can bash the guy into the wall and then
the game goes into SLOW-MOTION ! serious. The poor sap that you pushed into the
wall will die right away. to do this push a guy into the wall and just hold him
there and keep forcing off the track. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
-some of the later levels are really cheap and you HAVE to hit a few speed
boosts to catch the last guy in time to kill him
-If you have the manual read the section on power-ups
-if you don't then here's the quick version : light colored items on the track
are good, dark are bad
There's EVERYTHING that I figured out while playing the game. plus one more...
- hit guys from the SIDE, never in the back or pull in front and let them hit
you. you lose a lot of life
I had little trouble beating the game after I figured all of these out.As
always practice helps A LOT. I had to do one race 10 TIMES before I could pass
it on HARD level.
P.S. - don't you just wish that they had taken that loser host out of the game
and made more tracks ?

oky. I can help you on 2 of these
The 4 bishops one I have NO idea about. I did it by trial and error. You should
be able to find a solve file somewhere that includes ALMOST all the puzzles and
how to solve them.
The lethal queen one is easy
the point of it is to get 8 pieces on the chess board without any of them
lining up either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. NEVER put a piece in
any of the corners and you will eventually get it. (I know the answer to this
one but I refuse to tell you because it's one of the coolest puzzles in the
game, next to the coffins)
I will tell you the solve to the cans puzzle.
This took me and my friends a whole night to figure out. the solve is :
SHY GYPSY SLYLY SPRYLY TRYST BY MY CRYPT
I'm pretty sure that's right
Any other puzzles you can't get ?

Just for a data point, I checked it out (I have 2 CDROMs on my BBS) and
was less than satisified with its operation. I had to do a WHOLE lot
of editing and moving stuff around to make it work (I would have spent
less time entering all the data into my BBS configuration)...
I went back to evaluating ROMBrain, which seems (IMHO) to be the
easiest to set up and the slickest interfact around...
Are there any others that would work well with multi-CDROM setups???

"OBVIOUSLY" I have the wrong man! Since we are exchanging suggestions, may
I suggest you learn what the question mark means. It looks like this: "?",
there was TWO after my question!
Also the word "Aren't" implys a question.
Since Mike was not the person to whom I was refering, the question could not
have insulted him.
I find it strange you are happy with the deceptive wording of '2 for $9'.
No where in the ad was an offer for two of anything for nine dollars. This
obvious play on words plus the P.O. Box was what I was really directing my
comment at.
Unless a moderator scans the ads for misleading subjects and claims, this net
will go the way of citizens band radio. Then who will buy from a net full of
cute and misleading ads? I myself am just finishing the long process of
retreiving my back money from a lier who advertised on this net. A blatent
case of mail fraud.
I would think the "the most reliable and honest business folks" would scour
their representation to the public with a magnifying glass.
Thanks for the note and the suggestions.

My windows driver is the GUS windows driver and it has worked with

QUEST 4 and these have been the only 2 failures I have encountered.
However for DOS games I found too many problems with SBOS and installed
an SB compatible which has been perfect with all DOS games. If a
program specifically supports GUS then I will use it and I do use GUS
for all music and sound files from DOS.
By the way I set my SB volume to match the GUS and feed it's output into
GUS which has one master volume control between its output and the
speakers. One minor annoyance is that after using GUS in Windows I find
it necessary to do a reinit to have sound in DOS but I have a function
key which takes care of that little chore.

Hello Don!
DY> I'm totally stuck at ascending the Logic Cliffs. The answer
DY> is supposed to be in the Guidebook, but I can't find it.
It is there. My kids and I played the game over six months ago, so
I can't guarantee that I remember the details. Read the book again,
you'll find it.
I do remember that it was NOT obtuse at all. In fact, the program
tells you specifically what to look for.
I just looked at the manual. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY:
(1) The hint for the first puzzle ("challenge") is on page 20.
(2) Page 16, 3rd paragraph (and on to page 17), and pages 18-19.
(3) The "third challenge" on page 20.
(4) Solved the same way as number (2), above.
(5) The "fifth challenge" on page 20.
That should, at least, get you started up the cliffs.

I used as said before the SBPro driver and it worked great, and then I switched
to the SB16 driver to try, and it worked!
Well, try running SB16SET.EXE with commands like /MASTER:240 /VOC:240 /MIDI:180
before starting the game (you can put it in the T7G.BAT file...it workes for
me.
But then I use a Roland SCC-I for music, so I have the /MIDI:0 setting...:)

Hi Thomas,
The Toshiba has a 256K cache. It uses a new type of cache technology.
I believe it's a read ahead cache. It makes full motion video very
smooth.
I got caught on the bleeding edge on this deal. Three weeks after paying
$409.00, the same dealer I bought the drive from, was selling it for
$339.00. When I read the fine print on the "Low Price Guarantee", it's
only 7 days. Quite genorous I think. ;(
TTYL,
Rick

(1) The purpose of the puzzle is to swap the position of the bishops.
(Move black to white, and white to black.) You have to follow all rules of
chess moves, and cannot place your bishops in a position where they could be
taken by the opposite color. (HINT: Work on swapping the 1st and 3rd bishops
on each side first, then swap the 2nd and 4th the exact same way.)
(2) It's been a while since I played the game, and I'm not sure what the
'lethal queen' puzzle is. Is it the other chess puzzle where you have to
place queens all over the board? If so, the purpose is to place the queens in
such a way that there is only one in each row and column, and again in a way
that they cannot be 'taken' by any other queen.
(3) In the kitchen, you have to rearrange the cans so that they form a
sentence. Obviously, most of the words only have 'Y' as a vowel.
As with any puzzle, you can go to the library and look in the hint book
there for ideas. If you go to the book three times for the same puzzle, the
puzzle will be automatically solved for you. But I wouldn't recommend doing
that often. But as an example, the book will give you a sentence for the can
puzzle that means the same thing, but with different words. "Timid nomad...."
something.
JJ> I have a feeling it is! Unfortunately, I don't have any docs on the
JJ> game, so
JJ> I'm not sure what the object is. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
The game IS quite long. The object it simply to solve all the puzzles. You
will have to revisit rooms to accomplish this, because some puzzles do not
become 'visible' to you until you solve others first. The final puzzle is in
the attic, and is followed by a short movie and some pretty cool credits and
music.

I don't know why you don't have this. It may sound silly, but are you

You need to pick up a driver for the 602 and load that with your 600

I have a problem with my CD-ROM drive in that whenever I insert a

comes on, and it sounds like it's 'looking' for the CD-ROM but can't
find it. I've checked all the connections and all are secure. Has anyone
run into this before and know of a simple solution? It is a single-speed
SONY with very low hours. Any help would be appreciated.

I paid $469 for just the drive. I already had a SCSI-2 card in my
machine. Living overseas I can't shop around too much, even if I called
3-5 different mail order companies I would pay about $20 in phone
charges - killing any savings. So I deal with about 3-5 mail order
places that don't mess up APO orders. I won't mention any BAD ONES, but
I don't deal with that "insight"ful company in Arizona anymore - they
want the money wired to them before they ship - no way!

Virtual Vegas is a glorified blackjack game with dealers
who comment on your wins and losses. It is distributed by ElectroMedia.
I bought this game because on the front of the package it
advertises voice recognition. Imagine my surprise when I installed it and
the documentation stated that to get the voice recognition to work, I had
to purchase another software package. I called the 800 number and was
informed that the additional software would cost 49.95. I asked the person
why it did not say anything on the outside of the package and he informed
me that "we are not liable" for the problem. I said that I was not
talking about suing them, but was concerned about false advertising. He
informed me that it was a decision made before the software was shipped and
that if I did not like it I should return the CD. That is what I did. It
seems obvious to me that this was packaged with the intent of misleading
the consumer and whether it is legal or not, I am sure you will agree it is
wrong. The additional software package is Voice Assist, by Creative Labs.
I called Creative Labs and said that this puts them in a bad light also,
and they seemed to agree.
These are the facts, you decide, Vote with your money.

attached. Nutrition information and meal planning is included but not
the exchanges for special diets. Looks like Pinpoint is planning a
whole series of cookbook CD-ROMs.
Bookstore chain stopped getting the CD-ROM Today magazine but put in a
display of CD-ROMs from Microsoft Home series, National Geographic and
others.

It sounds like you're having trouble writing to the hard drive. Assuming
the hd does FAST transfers (is this your Barracuda?), be sure you are using
*active* terminators instead of passive terminators. Passive terminators can
usually be identified by the presense of resistor packs, which are not needed
for active terminators. Most, if not all, FAST devices have active
terminators, so the easiest solution may be to ensure the hd is at the end of
the cable.

Is there such an animal? I have a GUS and don't ever remember seeing any
connectors for such a daughterboard. Also, I read my manual about 3 times
when I bought my CDROM drive and it said absolutely nothing about a
daughterboard, or about a SCSI controller interface.
Mine is about 3-4 years old. Perhaps there are more recent ones out there
that do have a daughterboard capability?

RD>and i'm not talking about music cd that are also supported by most

When you play a music CD, you can get it out the front panel jack, taking
it to an external amplifier, OR you can take it to your Sound Card
external input jack on the back. OR, you can get an internal patch card
and take it from the back of your CDROM drive (inside your computer) to
the internal input on your sound card (also inside your computer).
But, music associated with games comes from the program on your CDROM
disk, and is generated via your CPU and goes to the sound card via the
computer bus. You don't have to have any connections between your sound
card and your CDROM drive for that.
You do need a CDROM drive Controller to make it work. Some people use a
Controller card they plug into an empty slot, and some other people own
sound cards that have a controller built onto them. It is simply a
sharing of real estate on the card, there is no connection between the
sound card circuitry and the controller circuitry other than where they
connect to the fingers in the slot.
Hope this clears things up a little for you.

Gosh, don't know why people talk against the GUS. I have had one for a
long time, and I have yet to find a game I can't use it with.
I think the sound from the GUS is far superior to a SB, even when I have
to emulate a SB. I have *no trouble* doing that.
Vicki,
I would recommend you go ahead and use the GUS unless you just want to
spend money to get a SB. But, if you never use the GUS for its strengths,
i.e. MIDI work, then avoid the hassle and get a SB because almost all
games are written to work with SB.. Although there are a number of games
that are written for the GUS (and reallly use it to good advantage) they
still run adequately on the SB.
Also, if you run Windows stuff, then the GUS has always worked without a
hitch.

Boris, I am interested in the above item. Couple of questions first.
1 - Approx how much is shipping on the above?
2 - Do you take Visa or MC? If so, do you ship next day?
3 - Do you have a double-speed at similarly low prices? If so, what
are the prices?
Thanks.

Mike, v7.5 is NOT an upgrade like 7.03 or 7.04. It must be purchased
from either Qdeck directly or (I think) your local, friendly software
store. I only wish it were. But beware, I have been reading the DESQview
echo and many users have experienced quite a few problems with this

Actually, I don't see the plots, characters and situtation of "ordinary"
genres as ever being "imaginative." Maybe they're more "artistic" and
"literary" than SF/Fantasy, but I find that they tend to be dull. Bland. No
"sense of wonder." Now, there are times when I *want* artistic blandness,
but those are always times when I *don't* want to game.
Also, I suspect that you can view SF/Fantasy as having "pedestrian plots and
cliches" only because you're use to the genre. In my experience, non-SF fans
find even the most pedestrian and cliched SF to be seriously weird.
Furthermore, in my experience, people who can't deal with the weirdness of
even pedestrian SF lack the ability to create and play even stereotyped
cardboard characters. At best, they can play James Bond as a handout
character, but are unable to create characters of their own.

Some truth to this, but I find that non-SF fans tend to be even *more*
inactive in thinking up the sorts of characters and situtations that other
genres come up with. They are even *more* dependent than SF-types on authors
to do their thinking for them.

To be sure. As long as you avoid specific reference to the

Hmmm. This article regards the discussion of equipment in
_GURPS Supers_. There are two issues here IMO - and neither of them
is whether Dr. Doom is 700 vs 1000 points, or how much an orbital
station should cost.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
1) Genre Simulation
Despite what some other posters have said, _GURPS Supers_ *does*
claim to work as a simulation of four-color comics. And if you want to
have any hope of simulating four-color, then you need to take genre
conventions into account. Thus, either there is a problem with the claim,
or there is a problem with the system.

Kromm, I hate to burst your bubble - but just because this problem
is not something you personally care about does not mean that it is
an invalid criticism. If _GURPS Supers_ had claimed solely to cover
the genre of "realistic supers", then perhaps you would have a point.
But it doesn't.
And like it or not, GURPS Basic comes into any discussion of _GURPS
Supers_, since _Supers_ depends on basic rules for play. If, say, aspects
of the basic rules don't work for super-characters, and they are not fixed
in _GURPS Supers_, then that is a problem with the supplement.
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
2) General Balance
The other issue is the cost of advantages like multi-millionaire,
gadgeteering, and so forth. As I see it, money and access are way too
cheap on the supers scale - such that it is easy for the supposedly
"super" powers to be overshadowed by the normal gadgets.
I know about this from running my own "realistic supers" game
(using HERO). The PC's slowly got their act together, gathered resources,
and pretty soon many of the superpowers became irrelevant. What is the
point of having a lightning bolt when other can do more damage with their
automatic rifles and grenade launchers? And what happens when Portal
starts bringing in Hellfire missle launchers with his powers?
IMO, _GURPS Supers_ excacerbates this problem by allowing for
relatively easy access to this sort of equipment from the start. With
400-500pt heroes, it is easy to be a multimillionaire who not only can
get ridiculous equipment - but can also supply it to everyone else
in the party.
This can be a problem even without having a specialized Gadgeteer
who has access to TL8+. Modern-day military and other gear can still be
devastating in a world of 400-500pt supers. Grenades, assault rifles, or
even elephant guns and such can tear through defenses such as those in
the IST world. Armor, vehicles, scopes, electronics, and more can further
emphasize this. With a specialized gadgeteer you have TL8+ stuff which
is even more out of hand.

IMO the problem is that these do not cost _enough_ (with the
exception of super-equipment, which if anything is too expensive).
You don't need blasters. A Barrett model 82 does 13d with good
Accuracy. A super would have to pay 80+ points for that kind of
damage - and he would feel pretty silly if he did, since everyone else
gets that kind of damage for free.
IMO, a super should be able to buy a blasting-type power without
feeling cheated. Your opinion may vary...

Hi!
Recently, I have stopped playing RPG's because there's an appalling
lack of good RPG's to get into. Your staple items such as AD&D and the
Palladium-type games are okay, but the game structure leaves much to be
desired- in the case of AD&D, Top Secret, MERP, and several others, the
rules involved are outright excessive- which contrsts the problems with
Palladium, being that there is an underdeveloped framework in parts.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a fairly comprehensive gaming
system that can move at a dynamic pace? Bonus points if said gaming system
allows for a fair bit of latitude in playing style, and if it doesn't come
packaged in a 25-volume boxed set... In short, I need a good game that
anyone can pick up and play. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Bri.

You could write your own.
For that matter, you could play without using a game system.
Dice and rules are not necessary if you have responsible players and
a clear idea of your background and what you want to have happen.
Anyone can pick up and play a diceless RPG.

No they can't. We all know that it's absolutely impossible to play
a diceless game under any circumstances, because all game judges are
biased bastards who couldn't create a convincing reality without
dice and charts if they had the consultation of experts on all possible
environmental variables, much less all by themselves.
It's true! Diceless gaming is just a pitiful attempt to disguise
extreme munchkinism. As proof, I offer Amber, where all of the
characters are incredibly munchkinized powermongers.

Yes, well, my very point was that the tools of literary *analysis* (not,
strictly speaking, criticism alone) are not terribly useful for evaluating the
entertainment value of a movie. I think that my analogy is a good one, and I
will stand by it.

I did not really deny this, though, did I? Throughout my post, I made it
clear that everything that I was saying was "in *my* humble opinion" and that
my observations were based solely on the data that I had gleaned from *my*
gaming experiences in the past. All that I really wanted to do was bring up an
alternative viewpoint. Almost by definition, alternative viewpoints are not
viewpoints that are held by ". . . many people . . .".

I reject the majority of genre *conventions* but I do not reject the
genres themselves - sorry if that was not very clear. I still use the fantasy
genre, the horror genre and so forth, for example. I just like to maintain the
physical trappings of these genres (e.g., magic swords in fantasy, sharp garden
implements in horror) without constraining my players' choice of personalities
to "stock" genre archetypes when designing their characters and without
constraining my own artistic freedom to "stock" genre plots when designing a
plotline.
> thus making a discussion of GURPS Supers' relation to comic book conventions
> relevant to many people's evaluation of that product
Fair enough. However, GURPS Supers is quite openly (I think) a book that
at best touches on the fringes of the classic comic book genre, and it bothers
me to see people saying things like, "Well, GURPS Supers' treatment of
equipment sucks because it does not reproduce the view towards equipment that I
see in the X-Men." It is sort of like taking GURPS Space - a fine supplement,
but one which is realism-biased like GURPS Supers - and saying that it is
dreadful jsut because it does not do Star Trek very well. A valid point,
inasmuch as the observation is valid, but who ever claimed that simulating
comics - or Star Trek - was ever a goal of GURPS?
> You seem to be authoritatively setting boundaries on this discussion.
Heck, I was the one who changed the subject line, so I wanted to set the
boundaries on the new subject of discussion to justify it. It really is pretty
standard Usenet protocol to set certain limits on a new discussion that you
personally have started.
> please do not tell me I can't discuss it in this forum.
I didn't. Perhaps, though, if you want to discuss the merits of comic book
"reality" in superhero games, you should start another thread to this effect.

You have missed my point entirely, I think. I am arguing that GURPS Supers
*is not* ". . . trying to simulate . . ." a genre. I am saying that GURPS
Supers presents a unique and refreshing perspective on superheroes, one that
tries to get away from Spandex tights and goody-goody, B&W, good versus evil
conflicts. If GURPS Supers does not do comics well, but does present a workable
view of superheroes that is interesting in its own right, then I feel that it
is still a good supplement.
For the record, if GURPS Humanx did a lousy job of simulating Humanx but
nevertheless presented a really good, consistent world for roleplaying, then it
should still be considered to be a good gaming supplement, IMHO. As far as I
can tell, we are arguing whether or not GURPS Supers is a good gaming
supplement (rules-wise, presentation-wise and so on), not whether or not it
presents a good framework for simulating comic book reality.

Yes. There are many good systems out there. Of course, what is
right for me may not be right for you; some systems are better suited for
some types of play than others; and some of the best (IMHO) systems are so
complex that it takes a while to learn them well.
Possibly the most flexible game "system" I've seen is FUDGE. This
is available free on the net (what was that ftp site again?). Unfortunately,
it's more of a metasystem than a finished system -- a number of 'fine-tunings'
need to be made (such as, for instance, how many attributes you want to use,
and what they're going to be).
For general use, I'm a big fan of GURPS, which may not be your cup
of tea at all. If the sheer number of supplements available seems a put-off,
let me assure you that I have run entirely satisfactory games -- in fantasy
settings (admittedly magic-poor) as well as modern-day -- with only the basic
rulebook. With supplements, I have run and played in a variety of games:
horror, near-future SF, far-future "hard" SF, B-movie martial-arts, magic-
heavy fantasy, etc, etc.
Or you could look at some of the BTRC's games (I have nothing to do
with the BTRC, I just like their games a lot), which include the very detailed
and realistic (deadly) TimeLords (in which you are offered the rather dubious
pleasure of playing yourself lost in time after messing with an alien
artifact), the much simpler and almost minimalistic (yet still realistic and
deadly) CORPS, or the even simpler and entirely unrealistic Macho Women With
Guns (exploitative new edition recently out).
Just about the only thing that all the systems I like enough to use
myself have in common is that they are skill-based rather than class/level-
based (admittedly, Macho Women has the three distinct "classes" of either
regular Macho Woman, Renegade Nun on Wheels, or Bat-Winged Bimbo from Hell,

There is a CD about London in a local store. No idea of the subjects

Europe Alive from MediaAlive includes Great Britain was picked as one of
the top 100 CDs by PC Mag.
Global Explorer from DeLorme Mapping has the best maps that I've seen
and some attractions in big cities in England are marked. (The
attractions for some Canadian cities are not in the exact locations on
the street maps so you would need to check another source before
planning a walking tour.)

ER>Which company makes USA Maps? Have you seen any reviews comparing
ER>Street Atlas USA from DeLorme, City Streets for Windows from Marco Polo
ER>and Automap Streets?
I have Street Atlas USA Ver. 2.0 for Windows for 60$. Just bought it
and can't use it with my 1x speed Hitachi CDRom. Looked at it on a
friend's computer and I really like its maps better than other programs
I've seen. It is a street level mapping program and does not give
interstate mapping. Supposed to have every town in US. The CD usually
sells for $90+.

-> (2) Page 16, 3rd paragraph (and on to page 17), and pages 18-19. (3)
-> The "third challenge" on page 20.
-> (4) Solved the same way as number (2), above.
-> (5) The "fifth challenge" on page 20.
Thanks. I broke the impasse, and am up to the fifth challenge. You're right.
The clues are in caps in the guidebook, staring at you. I kept looking for
suble meanings, not blatant answers.

The bare unit comes with the drive, manual, software drivers and RCA cables.
While the complete kit comes with all of the above, plus an external
shielded cable, 16 bit controller with software and manual. As for the cd
titles, it's whatever they decide to place in the package, not us.
Hope this helps and if there's anything we can do for you, drop us a note

Hi Leo,
Yeah, for about 2 weeks we seemed to get a whole bunch of messages from
your part of the world, but now there are no more.
FYI, Myst is selling in the stores around here for about US$48.00 and
about US$40.00 mail order.
So, what is the exchange rate, about 8 to 1?

Need help on a CD-Rom Drive problem:
I have a NEC CDR84JD-1 drive on a Future domain board that was working
fine until the Future Domain pcb went out. (last year)
I had changed my Pc over to a Adaptec SCSI adapter anyhow so I needed
to hook up the NEC CD-Rom Drive to the new controller.
I can get the Adapter to see the drive out there but I haven't found
any drivers to load the drive. The ones I had before were for the
old adapter and won't work. I tried using other drivers for other
drives but same problems. It sees drive f: but 'not ready errors'.
I tried the NEC BBS and the Adaptec BBS but no drivers.
HAs anyone had this problem? If so what driver did you use for the
Nec Drive on a Adaptec Scsi-2 Controller (AHA-1542a)
Any Help would be appreciated.

I just installed a Pioneer DRM-602X the other day! I don't understand
it, but it's working. For my SCSI card (Future Domain TMC-1680), you have
to terminate both ends of the SCSI chain and you can't terminate any SCSI
devices that are in the middle of the chain. Before I added the DRM-602X
CD-ROM changer, I had one SCSI device attached to the card internally...
this is a tape back-up unit set to use SCSI device ID 3. Before making
any changes to my configuration, the tape back-up unit was terminated and
the SCSI controller card was terminated. I hooked up the DRM-602X to the
external port on the SCSI card and set it to use SCSI ID 2. This means
that the card is in the middle of the chain. So, I removed the terminator
from the card and flipped function switch 2 on the DRM-602X to the on
position (this turns on terminator). Basically, my set-up looked like this:
I I C E E E E E
-----------------------------
T T
(I=Internal, C=SCSI Controller, E=External, T=Terminator)
It worked, but my CD-ROM would crash after reading a CD-ROM for a few seconds.
After several hours of frustration, for some reason I flipped function switch
2 back to the off position (no termination). Now my set-up looks like this:
I I C E E E E E
-----------------------------
T
And now it's working.. I don't get it. And ideas?

I paid $469 for just the drive. I already had a SCSI-2 card in my
machine. Living overseas I can't shop around too much, even if I called
3-5 different mail order companies I would pay about $20 in phone
charges - killing any savings. So I deal with about 3-5 mail order
places that don't mess up APO orders. I won't mention any BAD ONES, but
I don't deal with that "insight"ful company in Arizona anymore - they
want the money wired to them before they ship - no way!

In the fortress, look for the red button in the hallway. Push it and go
down the stairs. move the lever to line up the C's correctly (they will
both turn red in color.) Go back up the stairs and turn around and there
will be an elevator. Get in the elevator and go up. Push the middle

I have sitting in front of me a TEAC "SuperQuad 4X" CD-ROM that

claims to have drivers for connection with any Soundblaster/compatible

->You're not alone in trying to get drivers for NEC CD Roms from the NEC
BBS...I've had no luck either. I have an IDE NEC CD-Rom which worked
fine on my old 386sx-16 which was connected to the hard disk "d" drive
position. When I upgraded to a newer DX-33 motherboard, the NEC IDE
device driver keeps saying "drive not ready, aborting installation."
Same thing happens on my son's PC...the one thing in common is both PC's
have the same AMI bios version, dated 5-9-91. AMI tech support will
only help with problems with their motherboards. I have found through
my endlesss search of boards is that this version of the bios hassome
problems with drive type 47, which may or may not be related to my
particular dillemma. If you have an AMI bios of this era (I believe it
was their first version of "Flex" bios) it may be part of the problem.
I'm debateing whether to go with a SCSI-2 drive to interfce with my Pro
Audio Spectrum sound card ... hate to buy a new drive when the one I
have functions...even though it doesn't in my machine! Sorry I can't
shed any light on your problem, just wanted to share some of the NEC

I think that the problem you are describing is more a problem with your
vendor rather than Reveal. I myself purchased a Reveal CD-ROM package,
and I was quite pleased. Perhaps your message should have said:
"If you're preparing to buy a REVEAL 2x speed CDrom from Future Shop,
avoid it." Also, you could have very easily called REVEAL and asked
about receiving the proper driver.

RD>and i'm not talking about music cd that are also supported by most
RD>cd-rom drives.
RD>A salesman at CompUSA told me that some of the music does go thru the
RD>cpu but some does not. Does this mean that i have to get another SB
RD>card ? Looking at the others ( 16, pro, etc.) it seems that all have
RD>a cd-rom interface but, isn't this the controller ?
RD>Please help !! thanks. Rod.
Sound and music go through two different ways:
Method one:
In games, music and speech is processed via CPU exactly like any other
video game. It does not require any special sound card
Method two:
When listening to an audio CD on a CD=ROM drive, the music goes from a
cable on the back of the drive directly to an audio-in line on your
sound card. To find out if you have one, look for a socket that is about
1/2" wide with 4 pins. If you don't have one, no big deal--there's
probably one on your CD's controller card that will work.
Hope that this helps!

SNES or in the arcade, but I find it to be a really good game. You should get a

Nov. CD-ROM World has a 2 page interview with David DeLorme and a sample
map trip from Map'n'Go. The company began as a map supplier to the
Pentagon. Map programs from the other companies mentioned in the

Magazines on CD-ROM or with CD-ROM demo discs are much better value than
paper magazines. I really enjoy trying all the demos and games to see
the graphics, even when I wouldn't purchase the software. CD-ROM World

I found the problem: Smart drive was set up (by me, a long time ago) to
read ahead buffer ("/B:65536") data. This works with HDDs, but Toshiba
told me that CDs sometimes read data non-sequentially. Took that command
switch out and all's fine now. And the drive is FAST! Feels like a hard
drive.

MG>out on CD, and if so, what does it have different from the disk version.
>>>-------------------------------------->
I would like to know also....I would like to know how much it is going
to cost also....If I could get it on CD-Rom that would be great just in
the fact that I wouldn't have to use up the space on my Hard Drive....It
would be nice to have some extra features on the CD-Rom version.....
