The Sony 33A uses a spring eject; the tray is not motorized. When it pops out,
you pull the tray to put in the disc, then push it closed.

It's a matter of opinion, but for the price the Sony is a much higher quality
drive. I have sold several hundred, and have never had one come back with a
problem. At the CD-ROM store where I was employed prior to my current
affiliation with Multimedia Source, the owner and tech man refused to sell
Panasonics because of the amount of returns which they experienced. I would
also caution that their use in Packard Bell equipment should be considered more
as a warning than an endorsement. If you've ever done tech work in a PB
machine, you'd know that they are less than wonderful. :-/

How important is an on board buffer and what does it actually do? I'm prompted
to ask because the Panasonics are being advertised with a 64k buffer while
others are not.
Can you compensate for any advantage by allocating RAM from the main computer
when using a CDROM without it's own buffer?

As far as I am aware, "OEM" stands for "original equipment manufacturer".
OEMs buy software to be bundled with their equipment direct from the software
companies, usually at a considerable discount.
Typically most multimedia upgrade packages include OEM software such as CD-ROM
discs.
A potential problem with the software is that you usually have to seek tech
support from the OEM rather than from the maker of the software, if you have
difficulties running it.
Also, some OEM software may have been tweaked specially by the developer or the
OEM to run on particular equipment. Documentation accompanying the software is
usually briefer than the standard versions you get from resellers.

Hi Boon,
The CD32 is a self contained Amiga, with a double speed
CD drive attached. So it doesn't run with Amiga systems (can be
connected top them though) since it's a separate machine. And,
no, IBM systems can't use them..they're a completely different
architecture, for which many Amiga owners are grateful :)

Hi. An on-board buffer is like a little cache. Since CD-ROMs are slow, the
buffer stores stuff readed from CD-ROM into the buffer. It might also read
ahead a few Kb. When the computer asks for something from the CD, if its in the
buffer, the CD doesn't have to move at all! This can speed things up quite
dramatically. Of course, there are programs that use the PC's RAM to buffer and
cache. The most well known is SMARTDRV.EXE or SMARTDRV.SYS (smartdrive)because
they were included with many versions of MS-DOS. SMARTDRV includes a CD-ROM
caching/buffering module. With SMARTDRV you can allocate as much EMS/XMS as you
want to the cache/buffer. The bigger, the better, but don't eat up all of your
RAM! With 4 megs of ram a 512k or 640k buffer is ok, but if you dont care about
memory, than use a 1024k buffer.
Hope this helps!

Don't buy a CD-ROM discovery kit from Dick Smith Electronics. They are an
obsolete pack. It only has 7 titles split onto a couple of cds. But the Sb16
discovery pack from other stores has 13 titles split onto 7 cds.
Both the packs are made by Creative Labs. Both the packs are the same price.
Both the packs have the same CD-ROM. Thegood pack has all the titles the DiCk

I cant find it either.I have spent ages looking for it.You would think it is

then get her computer card.If it was in some other room the hint would say go

--> $449 <-- PIONEER DRM-602X SIX DISK CD CHANGER --> $449 <--
The Pioneer DRM-602X is a six disk SCSI-2 CDROM changer. It's the
perfect solution for adding multiple CDROMs to your BBS. Pioneer
has stopped production of the DRM-602X and is focusing exclusively
on quad speed drives. Once the supply in the distribution pipeline
sells out, this drive will no longer be available for purchase. The
alternative, Pioneer's DRM-604X, still costs about $1000...
The DRM-602X has the following features:
-- Double speed, 307 k/sec transfer rate.
Disk change time, less than 5 seconds.
Access time, 300 msec.
-- Bare drive includes cartridge, audio cables, and
power cord.
-- DOS SCSI drivers supplied for ASPI compliant adaptors,
Future Domain adaptors, and the IBM PS/2 adaptor.
The price of $449 is for a factory new bare drive. If you don't
already have a SCSI interface and cable, I can also supply them.
Shipping and Florida sales tax, if applicable, is extra.
Visa and Mastercard are accepted. I have several drives in stock
ready for shipment.

cards. On the second disc there is a slew of drivers you can try to
correct the problem. If all else fails there Tech #er is

KL| Oh my computer also have a 3.5" internal bay can hold a 3.5"
| fixed-disk drive. Could use that internal bay for a CD ROM drive,
| or I could use the external bay for use of a internal CD ROM.
You'd use the external bay for an internal CD-ROM. Sounds a little
weird, huh? <grin>
In the context of a computer, an internal drive bay is one which is not
accessible from outside the case -- such a bay is used for a hard drive.
An external bay is one which is accessible from the outside, and is used
for floppy drives, CD-ROMs, tape drives, etc.
In the context of a CD-ROM drive, internal means one which is mounted in
your computer's case, and external is one which comes in its own
separate case.
In your case, if you have a 5.25 external drive bay free, it'll work
great for a CD-ROM. If you don't have a free external 5.25 bay, you'll
have to get an external CD-ROM drive.

I just installed a Panasonic 562-b Cd Rom Drive in my computer. For the
most part it works well with my Soundblaster Pro card using the
soundblaster for the controller. It does however do a couple of strange
things. One being when in windows I put the disc in the drive, click on
the icon to start the program and it gives back an occasional disc not
found error. I open the door and close it again and all is well. The
other being just happening one time, my daughter was playing Tuneland
and when she got off the puter I put in Return to Zork and it said I had
the wrong disc. I pulled a directory on the disc and it said Tuneland.
Opened the door and it was Zork. Closed the door and all was well. I
tried to duplicate this to happen again and it would not. I was hesitant
to buy this drive as I heard from many sources that the SBPRO card was
not a good card to install a cd-rom drive onto but it is what I had and
could not afford what I really wanted. Like I said it seems to work
well, but does have a few glitches. Can anyone comment. Thanks

SmartDrive will load itself into upper memory by default, as long as there
is enough upper memory available. It will use conventional memory if you
use buffering (usually not used and not defaulted), or if there was not enough
upper memory for it to load high. The best way to check for memory configu-
ration is to use "mem /c /p".

Show her a picture of the woods or the cow. I did it all in the first trip

bats. Try it all on the first visit and I'm sure it will work for you also.

I had to go to the library and get one set of clues. Then with a drawing

eventually found real words for all those Y's. It would not be fun if I
gave you all the answers.

Go 4 it. 1 hint though, the game does not scroll as in Doom, I guess
maybe that was the first disappointment I had. It is an intriguing game
that sucks U in over time. I would say it's a lonely game, kinda sad.

And that's your prerogative. Again, it was not my choice to steer clear of
Panasonics, but that of my previous employer.
Since you do endorse them, perhaps you could send me information on the
Panarray, as well specs for the drives themselves. I am certainly open to
carrying new products; if there is a proven track record I would like to find
out more. Perhaps the time has come that I would be confident in selling and
supporting them. Please send info to the address below.

Thanks for the info. I ran the cd-stone benchmark and the numbers
said it all. Funny thing though, when you ask a vendor the answer
seems to be just the opposite. Oh well time to upgrade. :(

I don't have the game but I've seen both of these problems before.
If we're lucky, you'll have the same fix action. For the DOS problem,
sounds like you've selected (or the software has) the wrong HEX address
or IRQ for the SoundBlaster. The hex address is usually 220 - sometimes
240. The IRQ is usually 5 or 7. If the software autodetected the
settings, you may have to delete an .cfg file to make it reconfigure.
Also, your Set Blaster command in your autoexec.cfg file may not be right.
It probably is, but I've seen it not be.
For Windows, if the thing runs in 16 colors that usually means
that you're running Windows in 16 colors. From your c:\windows prompt
in dos, you can run SETUP and change it to 256 colors assuming you have
the drivers, most likely you do.

Hey Mike,
Just had a few more questions....

CPU
It has to be installed under Windows, but it can be played in DOS can't it.
It seems like it would be real slow if the whole game was required to be run
under windows.
> SMARTDRV.EXE (DOS6.2+) or CD-SPEED.EXE (ShareWare Version
Any ideas where I can find CD-SPEED.exe. Have you seen it on any brand name
shareware CD's. (i.e. Nightowl, Pier7, etc.)
Thanks A whole Lot for your help Mike,

Note - I'm not an expert on this, but once again, I believe that it will depend
on your
individual CD-ROM. Mine does _not_ have a cache, and so I see a significant
improvement when running CDs. If yours has a cache, you might see no
improvement, or you might see the drive slow down if you use SMARTDRV.

I don't think they're the same Diamond that makes the video cards ....
couldn't see the logo anywhere on the box. The box doesn't say what
brand of CD is in it nor does it say that the sound card is SB

The kits come with either a 2X or a 4X CD. One has 11 CD titles -
mostly games.

David,
I have a FX001D and it's Double Speed and not chainable that I know of.
The Fx001 is a single speed but I have been told that it can be modified to
be a double speed drive fairly easily. I don't personally know what the
modification procedures are. You would have to check with someone more

are you talking about the red key in the second level?
if so, go to where you climb the stairs and walk to the side. FRom
there, you should be able to see into the small hole, where the key is
visible, now stand back next to the wall behind you. hold down the
shift key and the forward key to run. Shift key makes you jump.
hope this helps.

Gregory, I don't play a fair game of DOOM. Try typing IDDQD then IDKFA
IDDQD will give you God mode and IDKFA will give you unlimited ammo.
To get the boss on level 30, you need to shoot right in the space where
the monsters are coming out, right before the elevator hits the top. It
will take 3 good hits with the rocket launcher to get him.

The technical details that I've seen indicate that only the oldest IBM chips
are "souped-up" 386 chips, and that current versions from Cyrix, TI, and IBM
are all based on Cyrix's from-scratch design. Current AMD chips are licensed
from Intel, I understand. The significant variations between the Cyrix design
and Intel's are speed variations between individual instructions (with the
multiply instructions being much faster on the Cyrix chips), and differences in
the cache size. Just because the SLC and DLC chips are pin-compatible with
386SX and 386DX chips doesn't mean that they're not real 486 chips. That's
like saying that a 386SX isn't a real 386 just because it doesn't have a 32-bit
external data bath. As for clock-doubling, I'm sure that you can find quite a
few non-doubled 486 chips from Intel... and I've seen NO claims that those
aren't real 486 chips.
In case you're wondering, yes, I work with Intel, AMD, Cyrix, TI, and IBM chips
on a daily basis, primarily Intel 486DX2-50's, TI 486SLC-33/40's, TI
486SLC2-33/40's), and IBM 486BL3-75's. Speedwise, the chips all tend to fall
in a specific range, a range that is distinct from 386 chips.

Yea.. It seems that "we" (as a whole) have become addicted to Doom and the
excellant programming ID did. So far I've recieved four or five replies
ranging from Toronto to Atlata and all except one of them compared the "engine"
to Doom's. :) Of course they all agreed that Doom was programmed in a
superior manner. I think this is pretty interesting (I myself am a Doom
addict) because who would have guessed a Shareware game would be setting the
standards for a programming revolution. <Wheew...>
Thanks A Lot for the input Courtney! I really appreciate it.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
I am soon to purchase a CD-ROM drive for my 486SX20 computer. I have a 16 bit
sound card that accepts a SCSI interface for the CD-ROM. I want to purchase
an IDE drive to limit cost but it will mean adding another controller board
which is not a problem. I have been told that SCSI drives are much faster
than IDE but in a recent magazine, I saw two drives offered by Goldstar. The
access times on both were the same as were the rest of the specs. The only
difference was that one was SCSI and the other IDE. Question: Is there
really a difference and if so is it worth the extra money? Most drives I see
for sale in retail computer outlets make no mention of SCSI and I would guess
that those drives included in new PCs (even the Pentiums) are IDE. I would
appreciate anyone shedding some light on this. I don't want to buy something
that will be useless in a couple of years especially where multimedia is
concerned.
Sincerely:
Steve Walters

You must put 2 or 3 rockets (I was too busy at the time to remember how

I was only able to do it as the tower is rising.
It takes a few attempts before you realize how to keep the bad guys from
knocking you off the tower.
Be patient, the ending is anti-climatic.

You don't get any sound when playing music CD's because the CD drive is not
connected to your SB pro.You just have to put the little cable(the audio cable)
in your SB and voila...Hope this helps..

The 7th guest directly recognizes and supports Trident T8900 compatible
video cards. HOW EVER if the Card is NOT DIRECTLY compatible with 7th
guest, try loading a VESA Driver from the Second ROM, in VESA Directory
ALSO : be sure to EXCLUDE the region where the Video Card Resides
I am not sure that 7th guest supports compression. Can you test it, by
putting the HD Files on an Uncompressed Drive and not loading the
Compression Software/Hardware to see if you get the same results ?
I also have a Media Vision Card. And discovered that For Speech use
Sound Blaster choice and for Music use PAS choice. Other Combinations
caused lock ups, or did not start at all.
Lastly if you chose MCGA, Try Forcing SVGA or Vice Versa
For Best results, set MSCDEX /M:20 - Good luck!

Hmm... I don't know if I got this correctly, but I think you must connect
the audio cable to your SB card, and since you have a SBPro card, I don't
know if it's possible! But I suppose you can connect your stereo to the

I originally played MYST on a 486DX33 with 8MB of RAM and a double spin
CD-ROM. Just recently I ran this game on my 386SX16 with 4MB of RAM and
an old single speed SONY 7205 which had been enhanced with the Trantor
upgrade. Guess what it ran flawlessly. Obviously the screen redraws were
slow and some of the animation scenes were jerky but in no way did it
detract from the game. In some ways I enjoyed it more because I had time
to observe the superb detail, so based on my own experience I must disagree
with your specifications including the fact I also ran it with only 10MBs
of hard disk space assigned. By the way I did not once visit the tower or
the obsevatory and in the mechanical age skipped fortress location. It
certainly shortened the game which I still consider one of the best ever.

Hello everyone,
I have been having a problem with my "RETURN TO ZORK" program locking up.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, how is it fixed? I have
tried running memmaker in every possible combination of memory settings to no
avail. Some memory settings let me get farther along into the game before it
finally locks-up. I've even thought about making a boot-up disk that will load
just the drivers needed for "RTZ" to see if that would help. The only problem
is that I don't know how. If anyone can help me with this I would be extremely
grateful. Thanks.

In 15 lines or less, I will try to introduce you to the world of Myst.
Somehow, you (That's you Amber) find a Myst book. When you opened the
book, you were transported there. You're now on a dock and if you look
ahead, you can see the outline of a door. Here is that imaging center
you talked about. Your purpose isn't clear as what to do until you see
Atrius' message in the image processor. With your quest clear, truck on
over to the Library, on one of the walls is a map of the island. If you
look closely you'll notice that you can rotate the tower. Stop rotating
the tower when a red line is shown. Then go up to the tower and have a
look around. Behind the elevator is a plaque with the "key" to figuring
out that puzzle. Be sure to read all the books in the library that you
can, the information within is invaluable.
That briefly is a start for the World of Myst, If you need any more
help, let me know.

As far as I know there is NO DOS Version of MYST, it Runs under Windows Only.
If ya got a choice or are considering between MYST and 7th Guest I would go
with 7th Guest.
Also I am not aware of CD-Speed being packaged with any SharWare Cd- Rom. It
took me a few board searches until I found it. There are newer
CD-Rom Cache prgrams out now, D-Time, BLAZE,which advertise 10%-30% performance
increases over SMARTDRV.EXE on HD and CD-Rom reads.
All I can say is check your local boards or if ya want to spend the long
distance call you can call me and download it.
MYST has Nice Graphics but is very difficult for beginners and can be very
SLOW, even on 486-66 with 2x CD-Rom, definately need Windows
Accelarator Video Card. Talk to ya Later !

Hi All
I've got a prob with my new little Mitsumi. The Audio Output is connected to a
Soundblaster Pro. When I play music CDs (under DOS or OS/2) there's no sound
neither from the Soundcard nor the Headphone Output (from there just very,very,
very quiet). I've tried with different CDs and with connecting the Audio Output
of the drive to the Controller Card. It's always the same. The normal CD-ROM
functions have no problem.

One problem it seems is that you don't have enough convential memory to run the
program. Fortunately, if you haven't got it, Virgin has a patch that allows
the program to run under 500K of memory. The also have a lot of patches for
sound cards and a unversial VESA driver; which is good to have.
Anyway, I hope this helps some, Rich

I have the Teac SuperQuad 4x (internal) drive, and think it's
fantastic. I installed it through a Soundblaster 16/ASP card, and it
worked like a charm the first time. I haven't run specific tests for

This CD-ROM is available for only $25.00 and is updated on a monthly basis

reading these. You may wish to pass this ad over if you own a Mitsumi drive.)

I'm a little confused here, are you talking about the Philips CD-I
[Compact Disc Interactive] system, not being MPC-2 compliant? If you're
talking about that system, no, it's not in any way MPC. MPC was a standard
that was devised by different computer makers to have a 'multimedia'
standard for the IBM-PC combitable platform. The CD-I system from Philips
is another compact disc format, like CD-R, 3DO or the original CD Video. To
play a most CD-I discs, you need a Philips player that connects to your
television set, like a video game. "The Interactive Adventures of Seymore
Butts" and "Dream Machine" are both MPC discs (they are also made for the
Mac). To run "Seymore" on a PC, you'll need a 386 or faster, DOS 5.0+,
Windows 3.1+, Soundblaster or the like, and 8 or 16 bit video card and a
double-speed CD-ROM drive. A disc like this, you'll want as fast a system
you can get, with all the motion video, even if it's just a small section
of your screen. Think more like: local bus video and a 486. Back to the
CD-I system, they do put movies on these discs now, and you can buy an
add-on video board that will let you watch them on your PC. Although, with
the cost of the video board, a triple-speed CD-ROM drive, and the movies,
you might feel ripped off when you find out that the picture is sub-VHS
quality...AND you have to change discs ('cause they can't fit a movie on
ONE disc).

Yes, I agree, it's a great game. I also did not solve the
Microscope puzzle, came close a few times but thats all. A new game is
out called the "11th Hour", from my information, it is suppose to be a
sequel to "The Seventh Guest", but I am not sure I have not purchased it
yet...but I intend too.
I can't say that I understand what you mean by Best Girl. Can
you explain? Thanks for all the information, I will save this letter and
refer back to it when I get a chance to play this game again...

Best Applications (Walnut Creek, Aug. 1994)
The Scientific and Technical Library (Walnut Creek, Nov. 1994)
And now for something completely different . . . It seems like an
odd
concept--publishing a CD-ROM inside of a printed book. After all,
wasn't CD
technology supposed to make books obsolete? But it's an odd sort of
collection--the Public Domain Shareware Library from the UK. 'Best
Applications' and 'The Scientific and Technical Library' are a very
different
set of discs indeed.
First, to explain the format. Each catalog has contents tabled by
type of
program. Agriculture, astrology, business software, database systems,
desktop
publishing, education--the norm for a shareware collection. The
Sci/Tech disc
was a little different than expected with artificial intelligence,
communications, ham radio, and music/sound lumped in with programming,
mathematics and engineering. The discs appeared to be non-overlapping
in that
utilities found on Best Apps don't include the Memory Utilities from
Sci/Tech.
The software itself is put into little archives with names like
1154.ZIP.
Either you must use the description files (set up for most BBS
software), the
archived file.diz or the books. Oddly enough, the book is a great idea.
You
can flip through it and pick the programs with the Norton Commander
instead of
some stupid menu program. In fact, the authors have not included a
menu--just
a DOS viewer, a Windows viewer and--bless them, one and
all--TREEINFO.NCD.
Like I said, just use the Norton Commander. Each program is well
described
with 100-200 words about the program's intent and a coded line
explaining
system requirements.
Most important, though, is the software. 1154.ZIP, as mentioned
above, is
one of those programs you can't find anywhere. It's V23TERM, configured
to
allow a 75-baud modem on the IBM PC (whose COMM port doesn't allow
anything
that slow.) Useful? To someone, I guess--the programs ARE unique. They
have
made an effort to only keep the best program in its class, so you won't
have
to wade through piles of commercial knockoffs and demo programs.
I tested a number of archives, including neural networking
software, a
dual-tasking system for a 512K+ machine (with a clipboard--not bad at
all and
in only minimal overhead, about 35K), the original Crowther & Woods
adventure
game with C source code, a fractal generation program and a small DOS
word
processor. One problem with the books is that I could browse while not
at my
computer. I tended to forget which programs I wanted to look at when I
was
flipping through the book by the time I got to my machine.
As PDSL-UK has a tradition of passing out single diskettes, all of
the
archives are small. As they have a tradition of collecting only the best
software in its field, they offer a really diverse selection of useful
'specialist' programs. Their software assortment is so different that a
few of
the security/file encryption programs were removed from the US copies
of the
discs (yes, the CIA is afraid of you!) These are really well picked,
well
organized programs. One trouble is that the software is sometimes old.
Not
that the software has any problems--the best programmers never release
updates
because they get it right the first time--but that you'll find a .PAK
inside
of the .ZIP. Luckily, there's a directory with obsolete archivers
included.
Either of these discs is recommended, but they really complement
each
other as a set (the Sci/Tech disc is not so much for the Sci/Tech crowd
as one
would assume.) In fact, they were one disc ('Libris Brittania') until
space
limitations forced them to expand. Regardless, the two of these make a
very
useful set indeed. NB: (These discs cannot be put online in the UK.)

Forbidden Subjects 3
Forbidden Productions
First allow me to say something in support of Forbidden Subjects 3:
knowledge is power, and the suppression of knowledge is oppressive
power. General information should by no means be censored, even
information on forbidden subjects, such as those included on this disc:
anarchy, drugs, hacking, internet (this is "forbidden?"), law
enforcement, occult, privacy, radio, security, subculture, UFO's and
virus. All of the information on FS3 is "forbidden," stuff that inspires
that voyeuristic (or entreprenuering) interest in learning more about
the seamy sides of life. I will admit that when Jesse Helms tries to ban
this one, I'll side with the ACLU. People have every right to publish
(and read) this information. Censorship should be a personal concern.
And I will admit that I was up until the wee hours as soon as I got
this disc, learning how to make drugs in the kitchen and nuclear bombs
in the garage. I learned twelve ways to have fun with payphones, most of
them destructive, some of them profitable. I learned how to encode ATM
cards and what advances the US government has taken against the public's
ability to encode personal data on home computers. I even saw pictures
of bloody skulls, both attached and unattached to bodies. But I need not
go on...you know what's on this disc before you even take off the
shrinkwrap.
Sounds like a winner, eh? Well, not really. Here's where the
personal censorship comes in. The disc is not professionally finished.
The reader program must be installed on a hard drive in order to use the
disc. The "Boss Key" did not work from inside text files (where most
time would be spent, reading) and when it did work, pulled up a white
screen with big red cursive letters across the bottom right. Don't know
about you, but my workday doesn't include PCPaintbrush--my boss would
have my head quickly. The line lengths vary tremendously from file to
file. Some of the text reads in the standard 78 or so column width to
accommodate most monitors. Some reads in at 85 or 90 columns, giving the
twostep feel: one line 80 chars, next line 5. Repeat. One author even
noted "Gee, I can make my margins a bit smaller here" and promptly did,
in the middle of a text. Some lines even had the familiar [PAUSE]
pushing everything off. Too many files were just plain sloppy and thus
hard to read.
And the categories raise a few questions: what is so forbidden
about Internet usage guides? What is forbidden about how to *remove* the
Stoned Virus from a PC? What is forbidden about shareware publishers'
net addresses? Maybe the people who brought us FS3 should also bring out
"Useful Info Text Files." Naw, doesn't have the glamour.
And back to editing...I must've read four times each how to get
stoned off of eating nutmeg or smoking frog skins. At least the frog
skins were the same number each time--nutmeg recommendations varied
widely. Also included in the drugs section was an article on Nutrasweet
and its medical repercussions. (None of these included a good buzz.)
Also, right next to a very informative how-to article on nuke
construction is a humorous article on nuke construction. Looks like the
folks at FS3 just picked this one up for the title, eh? The joke's on
the end-user this time.
And the grand insult: in the UFO directory is a subdirectory for
alt.alien.visitors. Open up one of the archives to discover that it is,
in fact, captures of the newsgroup a.a.v.: almost 23 megs of ZIPped
messages captured from a.a.v. And--you know what's coming--they are
unedited! In this resplendent set of messages (as every newsgroup
contains) we can find messages about a guy named Don who is patently
crazy and hated by all for his obnoxious postings. We can find the
greatest of the not-networthy: messages consisting solely of "This is
such a cool newsgroup!" And, best of all, a "Please, Sysop, help
me--I've lost my password!" message. I didn't have time to wade through
more than 10 or 20 of those messages, but I did not find any from alien
visitors. I didn't even find any about alien visitors except a
suggestion that Don go travel the galaxy and tell us about the aliens
when he comes back. The fact that 23 megs of space was wasted on this
shapeless mess disgusted me. I looked no further at this disc. I'd had
enough.
You've heard every opinion there is on the Forbidden Subjects
series. You've probably read a thousand times in advertising copy and
reviews "Of course, the information contained on this disc is for
educational purposes only." Well, my opinion is different. The
information isn't the reason this disc should be shunned. This disc
should be avoided because it is a very shoddy effort. Any company should
be embarrassed to put their name on a disc filled with texts so
carelessly formatted and organized. If you expect me to spend my
hard-earned money on a collection of otherwise publicly available
information (most of what is contained is from the Internet) than you'd
better at least give it a professional feel. Read the texts first. Edit
them. Format them, for god's sake. I don't want to pay to wade through
your garbage. When you learn to be professionals I'll pay for your
efforts.

Best Applications (Walnut Creek, Aug. 1994)
The Scientific and Technical Library (Walnut Creek, Nov. 1994)
And now for something completely different . . . It seems like an
odd
concept--publishing a CD-ROM inside of a printed book. After all,
wasn't CD
technology supposed to make books obsolete? But it's an odd sort of
collection--the Public Domain Shareware Library from the UK. 'Best
Applications' and 'The Scientific and Technical Library' are a very
different
set of discs indeed.
First, to explain the format. Each catalog has contents tabled by
type of
program. Agriculture, astrology, business software, database systems,
desktop
publishing, education--the norm for a shareware collection. The
Sci/Tech disc
was a little different than expected with artificial intelligence,
communications, ham radio, and music/sound lumped in with programming,
mathematics and engineering. The discs appeared to be non-overlapping
in that
utilities found on Best Apps don't include the Memory Utilities from
Sci/Tech.
The software itself is put into little archives with names like
1154.ZIP.
Either you must use the description files (set up for most BBS
software), the
archived file.diz or the books. Oddly enough, the book is a great idea.
You
can flip through it and pick the programs with the Norton Commander
instead of
some stupid menu program. In fact, the authors have not included a
menu--just
a DOS viewer, a Windows viewer and--bless them, one and
all--TREEINFO.NCD.
Like I said, just use the Norton Commander. Each program is well
described
with 100-200 words about the program's intent and a coded line
explaining
system requirements.
Most important, though, is the software. 1154.ZIP, as mentioned
above, is
one of those programs you can't find anywhere. It's V23TERM, configured
to
allow a 75-baud modem on the IBM PC (whose COMM port doesn't allow
anything
that slow.) Useful? To someone, I guess--the programs ARE unique. They
have
made an effort to only keep the best program in its class, so you won't
have
to wade through piles of commercial knockoffs and demo programs.
I tested a number of archives, including neural networking
software, a
dual-tasking system for a 512K+ machine (with a clipboard--not bad at
all and
in only minimal overhead, about 35K), the original Crowther & Woods
adventure
game with C source code, a fractal generation program and a small DOS
word
processor. One problem with the books is that I could browse while not
at my
computer. I tended to forget which programs I wanted to look at when I
was
flipping through the book by the time I got to my machine.
As PDSL-UK has a tradition of passing out single diskettes, all of
the
archives are small. As they have a tradition of collecting only the best
software in its field, they offer a really diverse selection of useful
'specialist' programs. Their software assortment is so different that a
few of
the security/file encryption programs were removed from the US copies
of the
discs (yes, the CIA is afraid of you!) These are really well picked,
well
organized programs. One trouble is that the software is sometimes old.
Not
that the software has any problems--the best programmers never release
updates
because they get it right the first time--but that you'll find a .PAK
inside
of the .ZIP. Luckily, there's a directory with obsolete archivers
included.
Either of these discs is recommended, but they really complement
each
other as a set (the Sci/Tech disc is not so much for the Sci/Tech crowd
as one
would assume.) In fact, they were one disc ('Libris Brittania') until
space
limitations forced them to expand. Regardless, the two of these make a
very
useful set indeed. NB: (These discs cannot be put online in the UK.)

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "CICA-Windows"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
NOTE: This a corrected posting of the review. The initial review had
an error and it was posted before the error was caught.
"Open a Window, somebody!" is one of the first things I thought when
I looked at shareware CDs. InfoMagic has thrown up the sash but it's a
bit of a Good News/ Bad News situation.
First, the Good News:
Many publishers of large collections of shareware, information files,
and the like seem to treat the CD-ROM as just another disc drive. They
collect programs and text files, burn a CD and ship it, leaving users
to treat it as just that, a huge disc with one heck of a pile of
directories and compressed files. Few seem to concern themselves with
the user interface.
The first notable exception I saw was Night Owl's three-way interface
with its straight DOS reader, nice DOS-based GUI, and a Windows GUI
that, while it surely works well enough, presents users with rather
small, black-type-on-grey, windows. I'm sure it's not the only
shareware CD with an attempt at a sharper interface but, until now, it
was the only one I'd seen.
InfoMagic, on the other hand, has opened the window wide. There are a
few problems, none so bad as to make me want to abandon the CD, but
noticeable problems. Most noticeable, though, for an ordinary user
like me, is that everything is readable through a front end that
should become a standard style. It's a Windows interface appropriate
to a Windows shareware CD.
It's big, open, and intuitive to even a slightly experienced Windows
user. It really looks a lot like a Windows Help file and works much
the same way. It probably should since it uses MicroSoft's Multimedia
Viewer according to the "About..." under the Help menu. At startup,
you get a half-screen-sized list of directories. Sliding the mouse
cursor over them, you notice it turn into the familiar Windows hand as
it passes over each directory name. Click and that file list appears
in another half-screen window> . Slide the cursor over the filenames
and the hand invites you to select. A click opens a Windows-style
dialog box with file list boxes for documentation and executable files
and options to View Documentation Files, Run Executables, Install...,
or close the window. If your selection contains text or document files
only, the window shows a Copy files button instead of Run Executable
Files.Both windows at the Directory select and File selection levels
expand to full-screen.
Unusual in itself is that all the files are uncompressed and most
will run directly from the CD; no need to copy, uncompress, install,
and then try in the usual shareware procedure. That's in most cases;
not every program will run that way but most I tried did. This little
trick adds a new dimension to the try-before-you-buy shareware
concept.The trying is easier. Because everything is uncompressed,
InfoMagic CICA Windows comes on two discs.
Now for the Bad News:
The folks at InfoMagic created a custom .DLL file for their new CD.
Unfortunately it doesn't recognize that you have complied when it
tells you to change discs. You can get out of the problem by
addressing the CD-ROM drive via File Manager. After that, everything
works fine again. Chatting with Kim Goldberger and Ken Burger at
InfoMagic, I found there is a patch available by FTP at
boris.infomagic.com. I surmised from that same conversation that
InfoMagic will supply it for those lacking FTP access. I coul> d be
wrong about that so it would be best to call and ask.
Another problem surfaced during my uninhibited play with the CD.
Large, multi-file text collections somehow were listed in the Program
Select window as separate directories for each part. That turned out
to be a glitch in the front-end build program InfoMagic used to build
their listings. It apparently failed to distinguish adequately between
file names within a directory at CICA and separate directories. What
should have happened was one directory (for example, BIBLE20) should
appear with a large number > of files. Instead, it shows as several
separate choices and the dialog boxes show no files in the directory.
The files are all there and can be copied via File Manager but they
don't show up correctly on the selection listing.
And another thing... When you select a program, the options window
doesn't always display all the files associated with your selection.
I'd be happier with a complete listing of all the files that go with a
given selection. As it is, you get some files listed with extensions
of .TXT, .DOC, .WRI, and .EXE but a "Total files in directory" box
with a big 20 or whatever in it. Files with .CRD or some other
extensions don't appear. Especially when I select a program, I can't
help but wonder just what those othe> r 10 or 15 or 17 files are and
what they might do to my WIN.INI or other control files. That's an
occupational hazard of trying shareware, I guess, but I'd like to know
just what's in there before I click Install or Run Executable. I've
spent too many hours de-installing programs and searching for whatever
vile alterations they inflicted on my control and configuration files
to accept another program blindly ever again.
When I selected file BW2-31-2, a Best of Windows Shareware selection
in the MISC directory with a .TXT and a .WRI file, trying to read the
.WRI file locked up Windows Write and it took a CTRL-ALT-DELETE to get
out. Ironically, the .TXT file was a note about how bugs in the .WRI
file had just been fixed. OOPS! That's probably not InfoMagic's fault
but it gave me a chuckle.
Shareware providers would do a great service by including a warning
of impending control file changes upon a user's first starting
installation as well as in the, often ignored, README files. InfoMagic
and their colleagues would do another by including some sort of .INI
file protection on their CDs.
Those small problems don't, in my mind, outweigh this CD's being a
very nice first effort at building a better interface for the genre.
The problems should be cured by the next release and they don't
prevent using the CD or the shareware at all. The small inconvenience
of having to revert to the old way of copying big text files doesn't
really overshadow InfoMagic's improved interface or the convenience of
having all uncompressed files.

CICA Windows CD-ROM
(November 1992 Edition)
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The new CICA Windows disc is a welcome surprise because it is quite an
improvement over the old version. First of all, one of my complaints
about the last version was that there was a lot of free space on the
disc.
On the new disc, this space is effectively utilized by providing
zipped *and* unzipped versions of each program (in their own
subdirectories). This eliminates the need to copy and unzip programs
to try them--a tedious process in Windows! Also on this disc is a new
Windows NT directory. Although it doesn't contain much (mostly
zip/unzip utilities and the like), it is a nice addition since NT is
only in beta release.
Those who reveled in the infamous CICA "shareware" font library on the
last version will find it to be pared down considerably. It has been
determined that many of the fonts once there were pirated and
converted copies of copyrighted fonts and thus illegally posted.
Two lingering critiques: I wish that the DESKTOP and UTILITIES
directories were divided into subdirectories by category. That would
make finding various types of programs much easier. This disc also
contains the VIEW.EXE program which I feel could be improved upon.
Windows users will find the CICA collection to be an invaluable "must
have" resource.
I give it:

I am having a problem with this drive, but I don't know if it's the
drive or just the software.
I have a game called "The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki" that is supposed to
be playable directly from the CD-ROM. The problem is that when this game
loads, it gives a DOS read fault error message. The game will run OK
when installed to the hard drive. You can copy all the files off of the
disk, so I don't think there's anything wrong with the disk.
I have Rebel Assault and it will load and play correctly. I have also
run several Multi-Media disks through Windows OK.
One thing I notice with this drive is that I will often get DOS or
Windows error messages when first trying to access it. When I select
"Retry" it will access. After a program starts or I copy files from the
drive, it usually works OK.
Windows will somethimes give a "Insert disk in drive" message even
though the disk is in. When I click on OK, it works.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has this drive and is having
similar problems, or from anyone who has an idea as to what would cause
this problem.
My computer is a 486SX-33 with 8MB RAM.

This is just a guess, but are you using smartdrv or something similiar. If so
try turning the cache off for your cd - i.e. smartdrv d- (at the dos prompt).

Read: [N/A] Private: No
After upgrading my computer to a 486/66 DX-2 with 8mb ram I had a Reveal two
speed drive installed. My sound card is a Sound Blastger AWE 32.
The installation went well. I put Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia on it and it
worked fine. The sound, film clips worked great.
I ran accross another encyclopedia from "the Software Toolworks Multimedia
Encyclopedia V.1.0". I installed it on my computer and tryed it out out. It
looked like the Grollier one, but had a different format. I decided to go back
to the orginal Grollier that came with the Reveal CD drive. At that time I
noticed my film clips had a bad echo on them and were unusable. I went back to
the Software Toolworkds and tryed it. It would play without any echo.
I used Uninstall II to delete all the files related to the Software Toolworks
Encyclopedia. I keep all my multi media on drive (F). This drive is about
150mb. This way I will know if some files .dll and the such may be deleted.
The removal of the Software Toolworks went fine.
I rebooted and tryed the orginal Grollier's one and still had the echo.
Now, remember this problem started after I installed the Software Toolworks was
put on my system.
On my SB AWE 32 I had let the "base I/O address, IRQ, Low DMA channel and high
DMA channel stay the same. I did not tell it to change anything since there
wasn't any conflicts with my Hand Scanner or Microsoft Bus Mouse.
Here are my Config with the SB AWE 32:
Base I/O 220
MPU 401 Midi Port 330 (I don't use midi)
IRQ 7
Low DMA channel 1 (orginally)
High DMA channel 5
-------------------------------------------
After tryingto talk to Reveal (40 minute hold time) and the dumb ass tech told
me it was the sound card and hung up on me.
I called Groler and they told me that they could not help me unless I purchased
the $ 150.00 version of the encyclopedia.
I finally changed the Low DMA channel from 1 to 3 and it cleared up.
My question is what did the Software ToolWorks Encyclopedia do to my orginal
setting? I would like to keep my Low DMA to #1 and keep my High to 5.
If there is anyone in Novato California (Where The Woftware Toolworks) offices
are I would like to know their phone number and the number of the Better
Business Bureau. Also like to know a radio or tv station (consumer watch)
program I could write to.
You would think that a company who is going to put software on the market would
have enough people to support it, otherwise stay out of the market.
Thanks.... Doyle in Houston.

RH@V> is it in the 2nd level? that's where i'm stuck at, too.
In Doom2, Level 2 to get the red key you need to "jump onto the other
platform" you can do this by holding down the shift key, this makes
you run and allows you to "jump" over pits, etc and stuff like that,
hope this helps.
... Oh yeah, take a deep breath before reading above post.

Mike .... THANK YOU !!!!! ( yep' I say that loudly )
Just what I needed .... I have been using the drive from DOS for
some time now, but have started using Linux, and needed to get this
drive going ... and needed to get the addressing/dma/irq data.
The Linux came on 2 CD's, and without the drive running, I have
been missing Half of the good 'stuff' .....
This Helps a Lot .... Had the drive running minutes after seeing
the address jumpers ....
Thanks again "It's a wonderful life"

Check and see if the same cable that you plugged on your interface card
will plug into the CD audio in on your SBPro....There is one....You
might have to look in the manual to find out which one it is....Then
again the cable might not be the right size....I bought a CD-Rom for my
computer and it gave me a cable for the interface card and an SB
card....You might have two cables also....Your CD-Rom should interface
with your SBPro with the right cable....l8r....

You seem to know a lot about different microprocessors, so I
will ask you or anyone that is reading this. Can you tell me the
difference between an SLC 486DX266 Mhz processor and a regular Intel 486
DX266 Mhz processor? I thought that the slc's were made by IBM, without
a math co-processor? if so, how can they be advertised as DX, as I have
seen. Mistake? False advertising? or what. If you could also recommend a
current magazine or a book that describes the different types of
microprocessors, I would appreciate it. Hope that this is on topic, I
left a message on other conferences, but so far no one answered them.
Happy Holidays

If you want * THE * most up to date shareware cd rom disc you'll
have to get Cream of the Crop 5. The average file date of Cream
of the Crop 5 is Aug. 10, 94 which is 4 days MORE up-to-date
than the average file date of Night Owl 14 (currently in second
place with an average file date of Aug, 6).
The file view and retrieval engine for Cream 5 is also the
easiest and fastest program of its kind on any shareware cd. It
does everything any other cd retrieval engine does and it does it
better! (except format a floppy disk) There is no install/setup
procedure and you do not wasted your hard disc space since it
runs entirely on the cd.
Cream 5 also has the most advanced BBS setup utilities of any
shareware cd on the market. If you run Maximus, ProBoard,
Spitfire, Ra or Qbbs there are utilities to automatically and
INSTANTLY install Cream 5 on your bbs. Your callers can
absolutely download files from Cream 5 within 3 minutes after
you open the jewel case. If you run Pcboard or Tbbs there are
specific utilities that make it very easy to install Cream 5. If
you run any other bbs software there is a generic utility to
automatically format the files.bbs listings in ANY format you
can imagine.
In addition to all these features, the most outstanding
characteristic of Cream 5 is the high quality selection of files
that are included. There are only a few files in the BBS
category that are specific for a single bbs... almost all the
BBS utilities will run with any bbs software. There are no
gifs, pictures or true type fonts to hog the disc space (other
than those needed/included for games and graphic viewers. etc.).
Cream of the Crop 5 is available for $18.95 + $1.05 shipping
(prepaid, Terry Blount, Box 36, BLB, Al 36509) or $25 c.o.d.

No, your kidding right, With the CD-Rom Stuff out TODAY/Tomorrow who
in the hell is gonna use a Trantor 1x Enhanced upgrade or any 1x drive?
Obviously you are confused, "The screen redraws were slow and some
animations screens were jerkey, BUT in NO WAY did it DETRACT from the
game" Excuse me, A slow and jerky redraw DETRACTS from the game very
much - i.e. having to wait and wait, and the jerkyness makes ya want to
shut the game OFF!
You DID NOT visit the the Tower, Observatory and skipped the fortress in
the mechanical Age, and it certainly SHORTENED the GAME. Hey, yeah, you
know that doesn't DETRACT from the GAME AT ALL !

CD-ROM Review: Terry Blount's "Cream of the Crop III"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Rating: ***
Category: CD-ROM Shareware Collection
System Requirements: No manual came with this one, but I'll assume 286
or better, Hard Disc, CD-ROM Drive, (of course)
These people have to be stopped, all of them! They're a clear and
present danger! How could it be legal to tempt me so? They're taking
advantage, I tell you, taking advantage of my natural human weaknesses
with their inexpensive software. Tempters and temptresses, every one
of them. What, me take responsibility for my own buying decisions?
Who, me? But, but, that would mean ...ummmm... responsibility!
EEEEWWW!
I've got a long-standing gripe with shareware CDs, they're all
designed specifically to assault and batter my wallet. If I let
myself, I'd buy at least half the programs on them. This one's no
exception, 3100 files and 574,851,037 bytes out of my
finances.(according to dir/s anyway)
Cream of the Crop claims to be a select collection. Whether Terry
Blount tested each program personally, I don't know. I tested a random
pick of 20 and they all worked but I'm hardly expert enough in the
many areas they were supposed to address to know whether they are, in
fact, the best of the best. Even if he did, the selection still would
be Terry's own opinion, I suppose. (Yes, I promptly deleted them after
testing.)
The Shareware concept is still, to me, a great idea. If you keep them,
register them. Otherwise, scrap them from the HD. Joking aside, these
folks deserve paid for their work.
(GOODIE TWO-SHOES mode OFF)
The interface is straightforward, supports mouse selection, and will
either copy or uncompress directly to a specified directory. It
doesn't seem to create a directory if you specify one not already on
the HD. The interface isn't particularly pretty, but it works quickly.
You can type in a letter and it will go to the first entry beginning
with it in the subdirectory. Page down is erratic, sometimes going far
beyond the next "page" of entries. Overall, though, it's quick and
effective. The mouse operation > is nice, needing only a double-click
to select a file for further operations. From there, it's keyboard
operation.
There are so many of these things that evaluating them gets to be an
exercise in hair-splitting. Does the directory structure make sense,
do the programs seem to be useful, does the interface work or look a
little better than the others? Cream of the Crop seems to meet most of
those criteria although nothing I've seen so far meets InfoMagic
CICA/Windows' new interface on the high road, their small problems
notwithstanding.
Bottom Line: It looks good, works well, and has a lot of files. Those
I tested, worked. For my money, it makes a fine addition to this
crowded genre.

Taking the role of the prototypical "Mr. Dumb PC-user," I tend to look

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 features or

it, and what new things (again, to me) it has > that seem to improve

COREL DRAW 3.0
CD-ROM Edition
Reviewed by Tony Thomas
The CD-ROM is the perfect vehicle for the distribution of huge
software packages that require eons to install and that come with a
tall stack of floppies. It is surprising that so few companies have
taken advantage of its capabilities. To date, only a handful of
packages like Timeworks' Publish It 2.0, OS/2 2.0, Microsoft Works,
Microsoft Word/Bookshelf and Corel Draw have come out in CD-ROM form.
After searching for professional draw package for a while, I decided
to get the new Corel Draw 3.0 on CD-ROM. Its tremendous design power,
ability to run from CD-ROM, and my dwindling hard disk space made it
an obvious choice. Corel Draw is much more than just a draw package,
however. It comes bundled with a licensed version of Z Soft's
Photofinish (sans scanner support) dubbed Corel Photo-Paint (a bitmap
and photo editor), Corel Trace (a tracing package), Corel Chart (a
charting package), Corel Show (a presentation package), Corel Mosiac
(a graphics file manager which also supports Kodak's Photo CD file
conversions), Corel Capture (a screen capture utility), a nice set of
file conversion filters, plus 250 Truetype and ATM fonts (all fonts
are in both formats and each font collection consumes over 10MB of
hard disk space), Corel's proprietary fonts and 14,000+ pieces of clip
art. The package is well integrated and uses OLE and DDE throughout
which also allows you to to link up wit h other Windows applications
supporting those features.
With all that software, it should come as no surprise that Corel takes
over 30+ MB of hard disk space to install, and that is for a minimal
installation. If you have the space available, you may want to opt to
install it on your hard disk for speedier performance. If 30+ MB is
too high a price to pay, you can do what I did - run it directly from
CD-ROM. Sure, you will suffer a performance penalty--when loading
from CD, Corel takes about a minute to boot--but it is bearable since
disc reads after boot up are minimal. Processor speed and cache will
probably effect program performance more than CD-ROM access speed.
You don't get off scott free, however, since Corel installs about 750K
worth of essential files on your hard disk when you choose the CD-ROM
installation option.
The vast resources you gain (font, symbol, clip art, texture and
graphics libraries) are immense when using CD-ROM. For example, all
fonts can reside on your CD-ROM and can be accessed when needed (if
installed in Font Manager) by the Corel suite of applications as well
as any other Windows application. The floppy version of Corel only
contains a fraction of the resources found on CD-ROM even though it is
priced similarly (it does come with a bonus CD-ROM, though).
With the package you get a helpful VHS tutorial video, a hefty manual,
a directory of graphics, symbols and clip art, a small command guide,
a graphics ruler, and a catalog of coupons for other computer art
products.
I only have a few gripes with the Corel Draw package. First of all,
upon installation, the program installs all 250 or so Truetype fonts.
Even though the fonts reside on the CD-ROM and the ______.FOT font
definition files copied to your hard disk are small (about 1.3K each),
this adds considerably to your Windows boot time. My system, which
usually takes 30 seconds to boot into Windows takes 2-3 minutes to
boot with all fonts installed. After installing Corel, I had to go
through the tedious process of uninstalling all the fonts I didn't
need, leaving about 30 of the Corel Truetype fonts plus the Windows
collection on my hard drive. Of course, I still have the option of
adding fonts as needed from CD-ROM by installing them from the Control
Panel on the fly.
Also, I would have liked to see an array of installation options, a la
carte style, allowing you to devote more hard disk space to parts of
the program that you use most often to speed up performance. Finally,
I wish that Corel would have included a set of laminated command cards
and font lists. I made my own by copying the command summary booklet,
reducing it and laminating the xerox copies. It only cost about $4 at
my local supply store to have the entire set laminated.
The Corel Draw 3.0 CD-ROM edition (with a street price of less than
$400) is a supreme bargain considering all the powerful tools you get:
a top shelf draw program, paint program/photo editor, chart program,
presentation program, trace program, screen capture utility and
graphics file manager. To duplicate what is included in this package
would cost double or triple the street price. It is easy to use, well
integrated and will make you look great on paper, even if you have

TE═╪┤Please HELP, I am stuck on TOD 1 mission 4. The CD version has a new
═╪┤mission but I cant complete either the classic or new mission, any hints
═╪┤would be appreciated.
Okay, at the start of the mission send the shuttles home. This allows
that one ship to begin docking immediately. Next you need to destroy the
TIE bombers with torpedoes...one torpedo for each. If you miss, get
shields full up, and ram into them.
I didn't know that X-Wing went to CD-Rom already. What all it on it?

I suggest looking for a computer show somewhere in Texas that you could
go to. They always have tons of stuff, CDs and more, and for rather
reasonable prices. At least that is how it is in California. But the
general idea of a computer show IS to sell at cheaper prices. So
anyway...

Hook that small cable (it should have three to four wires) to the small
connector on your SB. It should only fit one way. It is probably
marked 'CD AUD IN', 'LINE IN' or something of the sort. Added bonus,
when you get it hooked up right, you can sample audio clips off Music
CDs for games, messages, and such....

DB> Hi All
DB> I've got a prob with my new little Mitsumi. The Audio Output is
DB> connected to a Soundblaster Pro. When I play music CDs (under DOS or
DB> OS/2) there's no sound neither from the Soundcard nor the Headphone
DB> Output (from there just very,very, very quiet). I've tried with
DB> different CDs and with connecting the Audio Output of the drive to the
DB> Controller Card. It's always the same. The normal CD-ROM functions
DB> have no problem.
DB> My computer:
DB> 386/40
DB> Mitsumi FX001D on ISA-Card
DB> Soundblaster Pro
Hi, try NOT routing the audio to the soundblaster, and use the dual rca jacks
on the back, that is how my setup is and it works fine. How did you route the
audio to the soundblaster, with the internal cable (from the cdrom drive ->
soundblaster) or from the external rca jacks to the soundblaster input?
here is what to check
1. check to make sure the audio cable is connected from the cdrom to the
cd-rom card (the audio cable is the 3 or 4 wire one, not the ribbon cable)
2. test the sound from the front now (with audio connected as in 1)
3. if sound works, hook up the dual rca->microjack cable from the outputs
on the cd-rom card to the line in on the soundblaster.
make sure speakers are plugged in on soundblaster
4. If sound works your done, if not, you could have a problem with one of
the following
a. rca-microjack cable
b. rca outputs on cd-rom card
c. line in on soundblaster
but make sure you have the audio cable going from the cd-rom to the cd-card
and not to the soundblaster. most soundblasters don't support the cd-audio
directly, you have to use the line in. The only soundblasters that do
are the ones that are designed to work with cd-roms and the mitsumi is not
one they work with directly.
hope this helps

Believe your problem is simply one of patience. After putting a CD into
the drive it takes about 5 seconds to read in. Just make sure the busy
light is out before you try and access it amd all will be well. From my
perspective this has been a great drive and excellent dollar value.

the PAS16 mixer. I need to get some more cables if I were to run it

Hi there William!
Many thanks for your reply...I think I meet all the requirements you
have stated above...I have tried some of the drivers on the disk, but to
no avail...but I do not think I have exhausted all of them...
Right now I think the problem may be related to just a bit too little
conventional memory...I am at 548k, with the Superstor driver for
compression taking about 35k of that...I think I should load the program
to an uncompressed partition and run without compression to get more
memory.
Do appreciate your help and thanks especially for the help numbers!

Well, my computer ran it perfectly so here are my computer specs:

Well, sorry but I don't know what the problem is, but I have an idea.
There is an update for the Hard Drive files out, it's supposed to fix errors
etc. If you are willing to call long distance for it, the BBS number that
has it is in Huntsville, Ontario. Here are two numbers:

Hi Mike!
Many thanks for your reply...had tried all of your suggestions, except
the one of running uncompressed...
Am now going to reinstall to an uncompressed drive and see how it works
out...if nothing else I should get about 30k more conventional memory by
not having to have the compression driver loaded...and both of those
things might make a difference...
Appreciate your suggestions...I'll also be sure to verify that the area for
the video memory is excluded.
All the Best!

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello all,
Anyone used the "d-Time" (version 1.1) accelerator utility from Ballard
Synergy? There was a little thing about it in PC Mag's 'New & Improved'
section (Dec. 20th issue, page 66). It claims the speed up the access time
of CD-ROM drives with a disk cache (using your hard disk), like from 200ms
to 10 ms for a quad-speed drive ('Improvements are even more dramatic on
triple- and double-speed drives'). Sounds like the return of those crazy
'CD-ROM cache' programs with big promises to me. I think I'll stick with
Smartdrive, but would like to hear of anything on this program from anyone
who was willing to plunk down $69 for it.

Thanks for your quick reply I will try this with using the cheat code idclip
but I still might have to use iddqd cause they kinda kill me if I dont use it
also using idclip you can walk threw walls so when you walk uo and beyond the
wall where that real bad dude is you automatically are standing in front of
(what seems to be his mouth) walk inside and you will see what looks like a
(nice gif) of a mans head with the head torn off his body give that a few shots
(each time he screems as you hit him)
you will win the game. I will try your suggestions because lets face it using
the cheat codes all the time rake the sport out of the game.

The interface on the LMS205 isn't SCSI, but known as a 'philips'-
interface. I've got one myself. OS/2 should recognize is (says the
docfile), but that won't work either.
Bye,
Martin.

No problem. I mainly did it out of frustration, it was the ONLY thing that
would not run on my system. If I tweaked the system to run the game then
several other things died, so 7th guest lost out to the rest. I tried the dual
startup in dos but the wife complained about it, so a seperate boot disk was
the fix.
Nice address I'd like to revisit Calgary again someday, it's going on 30 years
since I was there. Been to Victoria and Vancover several times, but never seem
to have the time to head east.

Scott.... In layman terms could this be feasible upgrade from 386-40
to a blue lighting board...and still be in the class of a 486+ and still
be able to run most of new 486 programs that are requires in today
market and may beyond the next few years.....there is out there a
cobalt 2 board that is suppose to be 100mhz.... what do you think..

Hello everybody,
I have just bought a mitsumi FX300 tripple speed IDE cd-rom player.
Yes thank you. I seem to have a problem which is that i am not able to get it
to work properly. It will read some files and other i wont. I will then get
a message which is "the cd-rom player is not ready". Furthermore if I use
playcd which uses mscdex i will be able to play audio cd's sometimes. I've
also been told of a bug in de device driver of the cd-rom player. Could this
be the case and if so where could i get an updated version of this device
driver. Does anybody have a solution. In any case I am forever in you're
debt.
Thanx and greating,

Hallo Derek,
I recently tested a triple speed Mitsumi, with AT-bus HD interface.
It did the same faulty things from time to time, same error message, but
with " Disk not formatted ?" added. This last message is maybe due to the
HD interface.
On top off all : The Device driver consumes 50 KB...quite alot.
Other people say they have no trouble.
I use a single speed Panasonic Soundblaster drive for several years now.
I've never had troubles with any disc, and I have more than 50 of them.

Subj: [cd-rom Review] dak bundl Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I received my DAK CD-ROM bundle yesterday and finally got around to
installing it today. I opted for the faster and more expensive ($399)
bundle which includes Microsoft Bookshelf, Family Doctor and Battle
Chess. The external drive is an OEM Sony CDU-6201 (with a BSR brand
logo) with an 380ms seek time and 150K data transfer rate.
I also ordered the Bonus bundle #2 which includes Microsoft Small
Business/Stat Pack, Time Almanac, US History, Magazine Rack and Bible
Library. At $149, an unbeatable deal. I was especially pleased that
it took about 1/2 the promised 5-6 week wait to receive it (they are
heavily back-ordered.)
The installation process is simple: install the software, install the
card and attach the cables and you're in business. The amount of
documentation that came with the bundle is quite impressive--there are
about 13 different booklets (about a 3 inch stack!) that describe
every nuance of the hardware and software. Many sortcuts, examples
and helpful hints are included in the manuals along with fine
tutorials in the DAK tradition.
An equally impressive number of installation disks (including MS/Sony
CD-ROM extensions) and some nice touches like a nice audio CD playing
program and a Windows-like CD-ROM launcher program that can also be
used as a simple DOS Shell as well as 3 pricey CD carriers are also
included.
Drew A. Kaplan (whose initials spell D.A.K.) has done it again! While
the CD-ROM drive is far from cutting edge technologically, it is
especially fast and sturdy (especially compared with drives included
in such low cost bundles) and seems to deal well with graphics and
text retrieval, although I don't know how well it would work for more
demanding multimedia applications. The software bundles are
impressive and useful with very little (if any) "filler". Consdering
the cost of the software alone, it's like getting the drive for free!
All in all, an exceptional bargain that lives up to its hype.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Deep Voyage
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
This Aris MediaClips (TM) CD must have been designed to make divers
jealous; it certainly did me. Bonaire, Truk Lagoon, Florida, the kelp
forests off California, AARRGH! I wanna go! What's that, Honey? We
don't have enough bucks? Figures! Well, back to mud-diving in the
potholes of Northeast Ohio. (Sigh!)
But seriously, folks.... As a casual SCUBA diver, and one who wishes,
just wishes, (!) he could travel the world signing himself onto dive
cruises and his wife onto horseback adventures, I found Deep Voyage
mouth-watering, just mouth-watering. Most of those exotic places read
about in dive magazines are here, full-color and realistic enough that
you want to bring a towel. The photographer(s) did a good job here and
underwater photography is not point and shoot.
Do I sound impressed? You bet! I'm not one to be gratuitously harsh
_or_ complimentary but this clip collection is just plain classy all
the way. I'm just going to have to find or make a program to flip
through these Aris pictures for a screen saver or wallpaper flipper.
It would be a nice change from the usual cartoons, flying appliances,
and so on.
And yet, I have somewhat against thee, Aris. I'd like more descriptive
filenames and a few more cross links in the text database. It's not
that one can't find a specific picture with the search program, but
it's a touch inconvenient having to take notes if wishing to go
directly to "that picture of the skulls in Truk Lagoon," for instance.
It's a minor gripe but noticeable nonetheless. If all you remember is
"bones" or Skeleton," you might have to work a bit finding a specific
image. Lazy? Me? Well, yes, and, as I said, it's a minor gripe after
all. Would I defer buying this CD for that? Not a chance!
The text information is adequate and includes enough to be somewhat
educational, even. It's no more exhaustive than you would expect in a
clip collection and you can always slip in the encyclopedia CD or go
to the library for more information. Multimedia producers who _do_
make educational programs would probably appreciate taxonomic names of
the fish, sponge, etc. pictures but the information is sufficient for
captioning an entertainment, popular lecture presentation, or
lower-grade-level educational offering.
This Aris offering is another good'un, clear, sharp pictures, adequate
informational text, and everything works. I'm coming to expect that
from Aris and that's what I, and, I imagine, every CD-ROM buyer,
wants. You want to put it in the drive, log into it, type "setup" or
"install" (or just double-click it) and get on with viewing. Well,
that's about how all the Aris MediaClip(TM) CDs I've tried have
worked, no-brainer installation for a minimal-brainer user. (in my
case) One shouldn't have to be a MAC, Windows, or DOS programmer to
use a product. It's nice to learn one's machine, but most PC users
now-a-days are users, not programmers. After all, who has to be a
metallurgist, blacksmith, and machinist to use a wrench? And who wants
to have to be? When I want to _work_ at using a computer, I'll dial my
UNIX account and play to my heart's content and my psychiatrist's
enrichment.
'Nuff said! SOAPBOX_MODE OFF. Back to the program.
As with all their MediaClips products, Aris addresses the buyer's
probable wish to do more than just view the images. They supply all
100 files in 8-bit 320 X 240 and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit
TIFF for use in high-res paint programs, and their audio in both WAV
and VOC formats. They also extend on-the-box permission to reproduce
up to 20% of the images sounds or videos royalty-free in print or
digital publications so long as the artists and Aris Entertainment's
copyright are duly credited.
Anyone wanting higher-resolution copies of pictures, movies, or sounds
can contact Aris Entertainment who will then put them in touch with
the artists so they can negotiate rights, etc.

Will,
Thanks for the reply regarding Myst. I find that to be a fair offer
and will send it out if you are still interested. It is a great game
and I have been the only user of this cd. I say that to set your mind
at ease and do guarantee it from being dead on arrival. Reading the
side of the box...it requires a 386/33 min with 4 megs of ram and of
course a cd rom drive. I played it on a 486sx/25 with a SINGLE!! spin
(had it since they first came out) and made it through with minor
hesitation. Since I have purchased a 2x and it is smooth..much
smoother. I am sure you will have no prob running this game..

Just as you said the CD functions without any trouble for normal stuff but when
I try to play my CD's I can't, that was one of the features I was looking
forward to too.
Just thought I'd ad my two cents in, maybe it has something to do with

Subj: Sony CDU-8002 crashes computer. Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have a Sony CDU-8002 1.8g. It's a SCSI CD ROM drive. I've connected it to
my ASUS PCI-SC200 SCSI card with an NCR 53C810 SCSI processor and I'm loading
all the drivers in config.sys according to the instructions for the SCSI card.
I've also included MSCDEX in autoexec.bat.
During startup the SCSI card identifies the CD ROM reader and the harddrive
correctly and all drivers are properly loaded. MSCDEX correctly assigns H: to
the CD ROM reader.
When the startup is finished, I move to unit H: and try to do a dir. The
access light on the CD ROM reader goes on for a couple of seconds, and then
goes out. After that the system is completely locked up. I have to press the
reset button. On the other hand, everything is fine as long as I don't try to
access the CD ROM reader. I can use my Maxtor harddrive, which is connected to
the same SCSI card.
Is this problem likely to be caused by the CDROM.SYS driver that came with
the SCSI card? Isn't one driver supposed to support all SCSI CD ROM readers?
I'm using MS-DOS 6.20 on a 486DX2-66 with 8 Mb of memory and a PCI S3 864
graphics card.

(they are intended to be used in place of 386SX chips, with only a few minor
changes to the board to support the internal cache). The data bus is also only
16 bits instead of the 32 bits of 486DX, meaning that the chip does not move
data around quite as fast between itself and the rest of the system. The
internal cache is also 4K in size instead of the 8K of a 486DX. The 486BL also
has a 16 bit data bus, but the huge 16K internal cache more than makes up for
this in most cases, so that a 486BL3-75 appears, IMO, to be very close in most
cases to a 486DX2-80.
AC> also recommend a current magazine or a book that describes
AC> the different types of microprocessors, I would appreciate
I have a file named CPU.ARJ available for download or FREQ (21888 bytes). It's
not listed in the files area on my BBS, so if you log on to get it, don't
bother looking for the name in the file list. # is 1-817-554-5331, address is
1:395/11. This file lists ALL of the known 80xxx-series CPUs, coprocessors,
and their clones as of when it was written, and provides some history and
information on them, including known bugs. This file is actually the
"Personal Computer CHIPLIST 4.0", which is the Internet's Intel CPU FAQ, and
the last (and only) copy that I got was in July. It's the only copy that I
got, since I have to ask for it to be sent to me (if someone has a newer copy,
I'd like to get it). Since then, there has been the infamous Pentium FDIV bug,
and there also seems to be a new UMC 486 chip, which I saw mentioned in a
motherboard manual just today.
I suggest that anyone with further CPU questions get this file before thinking
of adding to this thread, which appears to have moved off-topic.
What other conferences did you write in, BTW?

Could be because most Sound Cards have an RCA Output (For Cd-Rom).. Try
Hooking this up through to your Stereo. you should get it now.

Hello. and Help. I am having problems with my DRM-602x changers and I
am hoping that somebody here can help. I have 4 DRM-602x changers
which I purchased from 2 suppliers last week. I am happy with the
quality and the performance. However, I am having a problem which is
not in the hardware but in the operating system and the drivers.
Basically, the problem is this:
I have a floppy drive labeled as A and a hard drive labeled as C.
If I only hook up 3 changers, they use drive letters D-U. I have done
so with adaptec drivers. The drives work fine at this point.
HOWEVER, when I attempt to hook up the last drive, all hell breaks
loose. Apparently, it would use letter V,W,X,Y,Z and then another one.
Obviously, there is no other letter to use. So what happens is that
everything initializes fine but I can no longer access drives D-U off
the first three drives or anything off the fourth. Essentially,
everything becomes an INVALID DRIVE SPECIFICATION after drive C (HARD).
Is there some way I can add drive letters to my config.sys file so that
I can have twenty four additional cd drives on my system. Or is there
a way that I can change the drives to 1 letter per changer prior to
running my BBS and have them assigned so that I don't use up all my
drive letters. I would assume there is an answer since Pioneer says
that up to 7 of these units can be hooked up for 42 cds. Please help!
Pioneer has said that I can use their program, XDISK, to turn each drive
one drive letter....but I have to run the program everytime I access
a disc. I can't do this with WILDCAT and ROMDOOR!
Is there a third-party program out there that will do the trick?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Very truly yours,

Tom Hamp, I feel the Compression Software is the challenge.
At any rate, when you get the game up and running, I just solved the
game a few days ago and made notes on how to solve all the puzzles.
I only had to cheat on one Puzzle! it's a great game, am positive that
you well like and enjoy.
Need any clues, hints or solutions - just ask, you've got my
conference. I feel that you already have 7th guest running.

No CD-ROM (atleast to the consumer market) can go faster than even
the slowest of IDE harddrives. Currently 200-1gig drives access data
at 10-14 ms unlike a double spin drive 350ms or so....

Hey! that was a *great* description of a problem.
Ok, about your problem the first thing to keep in mind is that our
type of CD-ROM need 5 to 6 sec in average to access the info data in a
CD that's why it may cause you some problem, I do sometimes get the same
message from anyprogram that work on CD, but if you set a higher cache
with smartdrv or any other CD cache that you use the problem would be
gone (almost)... BTW, set your CD driver as follow (not exactly):
Device=C:\UTILITYS\MTMCDAE.SYS /D:PC_HI-FI/P:390/A:0/M:64/T:6/I:10/X
^^^^
||||
This is what I mean!
Set that line to the maximum (I already done that as you see), and
it should get you problems offline.
As I told you before is cause by the delay to the access and not
problem with anything else, I have watched a lot of movies and other
program that require a high and constan access to CD with no problem,
also I have a 486DX-33 and as you with 8Mb of RAM.
BTW, try to find the new Driver version 1.5 for our CD-ROM, I
actually using the one with version 1.21.

Thankyou for all the previous help! But to show you how poor I am at playing
games, I am stuck again! (hey I could barely see the Klingons hand and never
would have if someone had not told me to look for it). I am now on the Masada
ship, I have been in the transporter room, tha hallway and the brig. I have
explored everything but can progress no further. I have found the funny named
tool belonging to the transporter crewman. In the hallway, I have picked up a
couple of piles of odds and ends, but apparently I have not found everything. I
have scanned all three areas in minute detail with my mouse and can not find
more and can not move anywhere new and can not combine any objects to
accomplich anything. HELP! thanks in advance. (P.S. I am surprised at much I do
like the game despite my poor skills and despite the low graphics. It still
offers a good assortment of activities and is well rounded as a "game spinoff"
from a TV show.

Hiya Mike,
I got those CD's this time and we did no address changes, so that indicates
just how badly the postal service is handling their affairs. I also appreciate
the fact that you sent a Xerox copy of the original insurance slip stating
exactly when you sent the first one. I would now like to apologize for getting
a little bent over the incident. If I have any other orders on CD's, I'll be
sending my business to you.
Thanks again.

I bought the new Mitsumi FX400 Quad Speed Drive yesterday. It's really
cheap but fast. I payed 400 DM (250$). I compared it with my old Panasonic
CR 562B Double Speed CD-ROM. It's really twice fast (612000 KB/sec,152ms).

IMO the new Mitsumi FX400 Quad Drive ist the cheapest. It's faster and
cheaper than the Teac.

Hi Albert, hopes this helps:
FROM CYREX:
Cx486DLC, with and optional '487', internal 1k cache, in speeds from 33 to
0 MHz.
Cx486SLC (and now a SLC/2), optional '487', internal 1k, in speeds from 25-
3 and 25/50-33/66 MHz.
Cx486DX (and now DX2), built in 487, 8k cache, in speeds from 20-50 and 20/
0-40/80 MHz.
FROM AMD:
Am486DX (also DX2), built-in 487, 8k cache, in speeds from 33-50 and 25/50-
0/80 MHz.
Am486SX, no 487 option, 8k cache, in speeds from 25-50 MHz.
FROM IBM:
486SLC2, no '487' option (?), 16k cache, in speeds from 25/50-33/66.
Blue Lightning, no '487' option (?), 16k cache, in speeds from 25/50-33/100
MHz.
FROM INTEL:
486SL, 487, 8k cache, in speeds from 25-33 MHz.
486SX (and now SX2), no 487 option, 8k cache, in speeds from 16-33 MHz and
5/50 to 33/66 MHz.
486DX, 487, 8k cache, in speeds from 25 to 66 MHz.
486DX2, 487, 8k cache, in speeds from 25/50 to 33/66 MHz.
486DX4 (three times faster, NOT four!), 487, 16k cache, in speeds from 25/7
and 33/99.
The basic way it works is that a 'DX2' is a clock doubled 'DX' chip. This m
ans, in the case of a 486DX2/66, that
the chip works inside at 66 MHz, but works eternally at 33 MHz (about as fast a
most motherboard sub-systems). Intel may
no longer make a 486DX/66 anymore, the Intel DX2/66 is cheaper, and while it's
ust a tad slower than the real thing,
you wouldn't notice. The 487 is the built-in FPU (the one that does the math).
he way that I understand it, the Cyrex
DLC and SLC and the chips made by IBM are not true 486 chips, but souped-up 386
chips that perform almost as good as any
Intel or AMD 486. The curent issue of PC Magazine has a article on PC's for the
home (stressing multimedia), and it
appears that the only system that used a non-Intel or AMD chip (it used a Blue
ightning), got bogged down when trying
to use a CD-ROM drive. The amount of your CPU that your CD drive uses makes a B
G difference!!! My advice is to stick
with a true 486 if you want a good multimedia system. Otherwise, if it's just e
eryday computing, the cheaper clone
'486' chips are hard to beat!
Here's some aditional personal advice, if you're short on cash, but need to
make the jump to a 486 RIGHT NOW, buy a
486SX 25 or 33 MHz with a local bus. It's a real basic 486 chip for right now,
ut in the future, you can upgrade it
with an Intel Overdrive chip. Depending on which Overdrive chip you get, you an
upgrade to a clock-doubled SX2, or to a
clock-doubled DX2 to even a clock-tripled DX4 (plus you upgrade to a FPU with a
'DX'). It's kinda outdated news now, but
the Feb. 1994 issue of Windows Magazine had a great article on the differnt 486
chips that you can buy.
Good luck,
William

Hi Albert, me again, I had some more thoughts. Another thing to
consider is your memory. If you're planning on taking your 30-pin SIMM's
out of your current system, and saving money by putting them on a new
motherboard, watch out for what you buy. The Blue Lightning motherboards
from IBM use 72-pin SIMM's, and I may be wrong, but I believe the IBM SLC
motherboards use the same. 72-pin SIMM's are better, due to the fact that
they are faster, but you can't use 30-pin SIMM's in 72-pin slots. Most
PCI-bus 486 motherboards are the same way. I hope this helps, I hate to see
somebody go out and have to buy another 8 megs of RAM to save money on a
cheaper 486SLC motherboard.

It is one of the best I have run across.... if your cup of tea is NOT a

Also for gee whiz value, I just got Under a Killing Moon, 4 cds worth of
live action video, detective/humor.. Just barely runs on a 386-40 and
std vga card. A local bus vga is better. Would not go in 4 mb for me,
but was only a little short, ok in 8mb. This is what I have always
exected from CD-rom.

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.
Comments and criticisms about this and any of my reviews are welcome.
I want to be fair and I'll be the first to admit I don't know
everything about anything. I'm certainly not so expert that I couldn't
possibly miss something. So fire away. I'll reply, assuming I have
time and I'm not in a snit. (See below)
I even occasionally enjoy warming my hands at an intelligent flame.

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.

Sun Microsystems is donating $0.10 to a food bank each time an Internet
user sends an email msg to any (or all) of the three addresses below:

Doesn't matter what the msg contains; it could be an empty msg, full of

instantly, so this is like a weird and wonderful test of Mass Human Kindness.
You can do your part to help big fat international corporations make

including a banking firm in Washington DC that will donate up to $5,000 to

Other corporations are participating too: any firms wishing to add matching

someday you might see companies all across the globe donating part of their
obscene profits to children's charities in Sarajevo, San Francisco, Manila,
Mogadishu, Bombay, Moscow, Port-au-Prince, Bucharest, Shanghai, Rio de

Remember: any user can send multiple msgs, so please be counted at least
_once_, OK? There are not many such opportunities to directly affect
something with your computer, and it doesn't take the Compassion of
Siddhartha to see what's good about putting food in the mouths of little
children with no home, wherever they are.

Yes there is, but actually it's not a patch. It is an upgrade, and
you can get it calling to Virgin Games BBS at (714)833-3305 (it's written
on the manual!). I really don't remember what is the phrase in the kitchen.
It's something like SHY GYPSY SLYLY SPRILY TRYTSY BY MY CRYPT. When get this

This would all depend on what your personal needs are. Some people will tell
you Groiler, while others may tell you Comptons. You have a number of programs
to select from, but first, you must decide what you want in the above. If your
looking for something graphical and for students up to high school, Groilers
will fit the bill. If your looking for something more extentive and with less
graphics, then Webster's would be your selection. If I have you confussed,

Hello All..!
I sure hope someone can help with this...
A user of my BBS had in her computer a PAS16SL sound card hooked to a Sony
(didn't know the model #, single speed drive with a 34 pin connector about
two(?) years old) and was having fairly frequent lock-ups and annoying sound
problems.
She bought a SBPro card (I think for sound compatibility problems) and says
that the drive interface has more pins on it and won't hook up to the Sony
drive.
Would anyone happen to know how compatible the Sony and SBPro are?? Is this
Sony interface possibly semi-propriatary and the PAS card licensed for it or
something?? Will she have to get another drive in order to use the SBPro
interface?? Will she have to get a separate interface for the Sony??
Any help for her would be much appreciated. I can't help her much as I don't
have any use for sound cards and only use some propriatary interface single
speed CD drives for shareware disks on the BBS.
Here's a golden opportunity to show this (new) user the magic of the FidoNet
message echoes..!

Hey all, I am runing my system as follows under Warp.
486DX-33 with 8 megs RAM.
Com1-Irq4: Mouse
Com2-Irq3: External Modem
Irq7: Soundblaster
Everything works fine when I load it just as above, but when I use the
BASEDEV=FD8XX.ADD /ET
To make it recognize my Pioneer DRM-600 using the Future Domain 8-bit
I get an error from SIO saying that it cant recognize Irq 3 and that
there may be something else using it. Cant see anywhere on the 8-bit
card to change Irq's at all, but it worked fine under DOS and I never
had a problem.
Also, I have my node 1 batch file all setup in the Settings area. It is
set to ...\IMRUN001.BAT well when I go into a DOS windows and edit
this file it changes it in Settings to ...\IMRUN001.BAK ?!?!?!?!? I
understand that it is changing it as that actual file used to be the BAT
file, but get real! I edit these things all the time and it messes it
all up. Any ideas?
How can I change the Pioneer IRQ, or should I have to? Any other ideas
or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I need to get this thing back
online as it contains half the files on my BBS.
Thanx in advance, Dave

Glad to help. Use the BFG9000 to keep the bad guys down while you put them
rockets in the brain hole. It took me a couple of hours before I finally
learned how to keep the bad guys at bay, stay alive, ride the tower up
without getting blown off, and still fire the rockets.
Come on, don't use them cheats. What's the point ?

Hi there Rich in Wyoming!
Hey, thanks for the tip...I, too, suspect that I don't have enough
memory...am considering running without compression on an uncompressed
drive, as soon as I back up the system. This would get more memory for
not having the compression driver loaded, but I think your idea of the
patch is MUCH better. Will give Virgin a call!

Thanks for the tip! Will attempt calling these BBS's, or perhaps Virgin
itself...other members here have also suggested that I have a low
conventional memory problem...I envy your 634K free...unfortunately,
with my compression and cdrom drivers I just can't get much more than
548KB.
I understand that there might be a patch for low memory configurations

I tried that too. In order for the cd to play sound through the card, the card
must have a mixer onboard. The mixer mixes all the sound from line in,
microphone in, and cd in and outputs all this to the speakers at the same
time. Some examples of sound cards with mixers: SBPro,SB16, as well as just
about any other 16bit sound card. The simplest work around for your problem
would be to keep a pair of headphones handy, or maybe another set of speakers
for the cd sound.

DH>I have a Reveal CD (which is a Creative Labs drive) and I have it hooked to
DH>my Sound Blaster AWE32 card. I get good music, WAV etc. Only thing I don't
DH>get is
DH>music from the front of it when I hook ear phones to it.
DH>Any suggestions. By the way I do have the 3 wire cable from the CD to my
DH>sound card. My external speakers work very well.
The headphone jack is dissabled when you pipe the audio via the slim
wire to the sound card. You could try a Y cable to patch the headphones
in with the speaker output.

Well... actually Cream of the Crop 5 is more up-to-date. The
average file date of N.O. 14 is Aug 6, 1994 but Cream 5 is 4
days more current with an average file date of Aug 10, 1994.
If you want the * MOST * up-to-date collection of shareware
you'll need to get Cream of the Crop 5.

There IS a SBPro card that can run this drive ... but not the "plain"
Pro2 card ... ( I just called this week [ waited 15 min. for a human ] )
The newer 16 bit I hear can do this. My call to Creative says
"yes" the "new 16 bit cards" can do Sony. I wasn't going to buy a new
SBPro just to run a $69 CD-drive ..... so I really miss my MIDI now.
Some of the nicer 16Bit cards have 2 or 3 connctors, and often the
Sony drives hook on to them. Some might require an "adaptor" to
plug onto the Mitsumi connector (like the Aztech NX pro16, $10 extra).
SC> interface?? Will she have to get a separate interface for the Sony??
SC>
This might not be so bad, the card to run Sony is small and simple.
The "good" side of it is that the Sony card (mine anyway) does NOT use
any interupts .... which made me very happy, as interupts are in short
supply on my system.
It might help to know, what SBPro card she has and what Sony-CD ...
That's important to know which ones are in question.
Did she call the PAS people about the "problems" with their card ?

Hi All, I'll make this as short as I can.
RE: TRUC ( Mr. Wee Yung )
16429 Bixler Ave.
Paramount, CA 90723
I purchased a panasonic 562b CD-ROM drive, the drive died and here is what
has happened. Let me just say here to be fair, I had no problem with him
until the drive died. Here is a list of NO'S I have got from Mr. Wee Yung
since.
--- *********
1. I was NOT in his data base until I gave him my invoice #
2. He would NOT pay for return shipping of the dead drive.
3. He would NOT send me a new drive without finding out first
if mine could be fixed first.
4. He would NOT give me credit of what I paid towards a more expensive
drive but would give the current WHOLESALE price of mine on a new one.
5. He would NOT give me a refund on my dead drive.
6. He Claims he is just a salesmen for TRUC and it was out of his hands.
7. Then claims he is the manager of TRUC but would not tell me who the
owners are since he still claims it's out of his hands. I wanted to
go over his head but got no where.
--- *********
Here are a couple of things that you don't see in his ads that you should
know before you do buy anything from him.
--- *********
1. 20% Restock Fee for returns, this is on his reciepts
2. No returns after 30 days, this is not on anything, adds or reciepts
But you'll find out about it if you try to return something.
--- *********
I have a letter (complaint) out to the Better Business Bureau in Cyress CA
reguarding this.
--- *********
I just wanted to warn all of you buyers out there !
For those of you that want to defend him, don't bother
I'll bet you have NOT tryed to get a refund from him.

Hello Mike!
MN> I have a collection of over 575 CDs. How do I go about finding
MN> whether or not any of them have any of these "hidden tracks" that
MN> I see people discussing? Any help would be appreciated!
Actually, this entire thread is off-topic, because it has to do with
AUDIO CD's, not CD-ROMs. But I'll answer you THIS time... <g>
Since you are reading this echo, I assume that you have a CD-ROM drive.
If you don't, you're in the wrong echo!
Find a utility program called TOC (either the .EXE, or .COM version).
This utility is used in a CD-ROM drive to read the Table Of Contents
directly from the track index of any CD. If it's a ROM, the disc data
will look something like this:
Track Start End Length Type
1 00:00:02 00:68:00 00:67:58 Data
If it's an audio CD, you'll see a display of every track's time:
Track Start End Length Type
1 00:00:02 00:03:29 00:03:27 Audio
2 00:03:33 00:06:57 00:03:24 Audio
3 00:07:01 00:10:29 00:03:28 Audio
(etc)
Now compare it to the play list on the CD package. If there are supposed
to be 12 songs, and the list shows more than 12 tracks, you know there are
"hidden" tracks on the CD.
To play "hidden" tracks, use the CD-ROM audio utilities PLAYTIME or PLAYTRAK.
THERE! NOW can we get back on topic? <g>

I'd rather have a 486BL 75 (which is supposedly getting phased out, due to
being so close in price to the 486BL 100) or 486BL 100 than an 486DX2-50...
They are definitely faster, and better for multimedia applications.

Well, about a month ago I saw something that said Creative Labs is
gonna release a new SoundBlaster with a 3DO system incorporate to the
card with video and sound enhancement and a lot of other stuff.
So what I mean now is.. I don't think we would be able to upgrade, no
even with the new AWE32, because is just going to be everything in one
card.
I still wonder how they gonna do to enhance the video stuff, are they
gonna make somekind of link with our actual video board or what??. the
CD-ROM and SoundBlaster stuff are easy, but the Video.. !?!, Hmmm.. I
really want to know with what they'll come up with. <G>

My advice, if you want it, is to buy a true Intel 486DX2/66. The
Intel-based motherboards will cost you a little more than a Blue Lightning,
but an Intel or AMD 486 chip will handle multimedia and heavy duty Windows
apps better than a Blue Lightning. The Blue Lightning, like other '486'
clones from Cyrex and IBM, are based on 386 designs, meant either to
work with 386 designed motherboard (which are cheaper to make), or as a
'386 to 486 upgrade'. A Blue Lightning is probably a better bet, in terms
of a clone 486, but an Intel chip would be easier to upgrade with an
Overdrive (to a DX4!) in the future. With a Intel 486-based motherboard,
you're also likely to get a better external cache, I've seen some as large
as 512k, as compared with just 64k on a Blue Lightning (the larger, the
better). Plus, you'd be able to pick a 486 motherboard with either a PCI or
VLB local bus sub-system (The Blue Lightning is limited to VLB). A lot of
people will tell you that PCI is the way to go if you're looking for a
system to last you a few years, you may even ask if your new motherboard is
ready for Windows '95 Plug and Play. But then again, if you're REALLY
talkin' about a machine that will take you beyond a few years, you should
really be thinking about a Pentium 90 or 100MHz.
-William
P.S. A few hours after I wrote this, I found an ad in the paper for a
NexGen Nx586-P80MHz VESA motherboard, for $599 for CPU and motherboard. The
NexGen chip is the first Pentium clone.

Check out the December issue of Computer Paper. Corel has some kind of promo
going where for $9.95 CDN (for S&H) you get a sample CD with "100
high-resolution professional photos royalty free". Call Corel directly at
1-800-394-3729 ext. 221. The CD with dogs is #111 (series 247000). According
to the ad this offer expires Dec. 31/94.
BTW, I don't work for them...
Good luck.

lot to get lost of the read-errors but nothing seems to help: Installed the
drivers in various ways; boot the PC as clean as possible; tried other sort of
drivers; Installed the CD-ROM player unther OS/2 2.1 and this works very fine.
Also when I'm using the WIN-OS/2 shell. So I think it must be a problem with
the drivers.
BTW when I run under DOS (and Windows) and install the driver as 'polling' it
works fine too (but a lot slower of course).
Hope we can help eachother !

Yes there is. You can buy the OptiDriver-CD Software from Optisys Inc.

Their software driver supports 7 changers with a total of 64 platters.
Each changer becomes a seperate drive letter and each disk a
sub-directory. I also run Wildcat 4.01M and Romdoor 4.02. I run a 2 node

Why can't you Karl? RomDoor is called with a batch file, just add a
line before RomDoor that runs Xdisk. Unless the problem with this is a
memory problem...

Like I said, you should be able to do this with the batch file that runs

Apparently, they told me that I would have to use xdisk everytime I
access a CD...not when ROMDOOR is initialized.
I think I have found a fix, albeit expensive. A company called OPTISYS
makes a product called OPTI-CD which allows me to rename a changer as
one drive and create directories as names for the CDs. This is similar
to xdisk but doesn't require multiple executions of the program...just
an initial driver installation.

The 500 Disc Jukeboxes from Pioneer are as stated in my ad, over $17,000.00
each....
The price on the NSM was $6,299.00...
I'll check into the prices on these, but they are going to be HIGHER priced
than the read only models....
Haven't had that many inquiries for them, but they are available...

See my many posts, I will ship to canada, standard UPS Ground, just
substitute $9.00 for the first 4 CD's, and add $2.00 for each additional 4
CD's....
Most of the Adult CD's we carry are pressed in Canada, all the A6 Japanese
titles are, so I see no reason why they won't get through customs, unless they
can be exported, but not imported...

I did all I can, I touch what I can, I picked everything I can, the main
problem is I can't give the match to the man who drive the tram. I go to the

Hi All Cd distributors !
I live in Israel and the amount of people with CDROM compared to the amount of
people who sell CD's is large... What I mean is that we hardly have any CD
vendors. (Not enough at my opinion).
What i'm offering is to sell your cd's here in Israel in exchange for
percentage... You can call me voice +972-3-6411495 or call my board at
+972-3-6420068 and leave me a message so we can talk buissness.

Dose it work when you plug in your headphones to it. Mine dosen't. I think

I could try to hook it up to my stereo but that thing is so old that I'd have
to dissconect my tape deck to make room to plug in the CD-ROM.

How many different SCSI quad speed drives are on the market today. I only know
of two: Plextor's and NEC's. Is it really worth it to spend the extra for a
SCSI drive?
And remember when we all owned 286/386 and the 486 came out? We had games that
just couldn't keep up with the 486. I've heard that some games can't be played
when used on a quad speed, is this true at all?

Aloha,
I need a quick answer! I have a Sound Blaster Pro 2 CT-1600 sound
card, and I went out and bought just a CD-ROM drive with cables. It is
the Panasonic CR-562-J. It came with device drivers, but they are a
year old and I am looking for some recent ones. I called Creative
Labs, and they suggested I go through the people who are marketing the
drive. It came in a plastic bag! It wasn't apart of a multimedia kit.
Anybody know which drivers I should use? Can I use any 562 driver? I
have seen a CR-562-B driver. I have been trying to call the Panasonic
BBS, but somehow I imagine they ovly have printer drivers. HELP! It's
a Christmas present, and I would rather have everything ready to go!
Thanks! Brad

I recently installed the SoundBlaster Discovery 16 kit, the one with the
Panasonic 563 cd-rom, and cannot get two drivers, CTSB16.SYS and
CTMMSYS.SYS, to load high. I have more than enough room in UM to put
them but they would not load high.
I'm using Dos 6.21 with EMM386, and HIMEM.sys with WFWG3.11 on a 486SX33
with 4Mb ram.
Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

------------------------ FYI on Grolier Encyclopedia Update ---------------
Anyone having the problem with the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia Version 6.0
should contact them and get the upgrade Release B6.05.
My version 6.0 had a real bad echo and I had to FAX Grolier several times
trying to get things clear up. Since the encyclopedia came bundeled with the
Reveal CD ROM drive they would not help me. They told me that it was up to
REVEAL to help me. The people at Reveal worked with me on the phone for over
45 minutes and told me to call Grolier for help. The people at Grolier told
me that I had to buy the $ 150.00 version before I could get any help. I
explained the situtation and they told me sorry. Grolier had their name
plastered all over the CD ROM and I needed help.
So, if you have V 6.0 and have trouble with echo on the multimedia playing
then here is a list of the head honchos at Grolier.
It is good that Houston, along with other major cities has a public library
that you can call on your modem and get the head people at a company.

I don't understand....The main point that I have found of buying a
program on CD-Rom is so you can save space on your Hard Drive....What
you told me about the DOOM II CD was that it installs to your Hard Drive
and then I said then why buy the CD, I'd just go buy the floppy disk
version....Then you responded with this....The reason for buying OS/2
Warp on CD it to run the OS without hogging Hard Drive space....You say
you buy them to save time and then you are telling me that you install
them to the CD....This makes no sense at all....Please explain.....

Encarta is a multimedia encyclopedia from microsoft. Every picture
prints out directly from the program and can also be copied to the
clipboard or interface directly in Word. Also has audio and video
clips. A lot of cross indexing. My kids play with it like its a
game. Best investment I've made in quite a while

Greg, you need to go and touch the column in the middle of the square.
then hit the spacebar. Wasn't that level fun? Just wait it gets better.
Have you modem'd or networked yet? We have a Doom Room here that has 20
computers networked in 4 people groups. and is a lot of fun.

Hi guy. I am looking for help with this game (RTZ). We can't find the house
in the whispering woods, nor have we located the miners hat, the magnet, a
fourth joke, or how to get past the witch and the ogre in the cave (not as
ogre, a grue or something...) Any help would be appreciated@

Thanks for the information, I will try to get that file where I
have excess first if it is available, and then if you don't mind I will
try and get it from the number that you gave me. Thanks for allowing
this one message as I realize it is not on topic.

I posted on the 246 users conference. Not one reply...

I have not been able to use it under OS/2 2.1 for Windows. OS/2 only

from IBM but they dont know about my CD-rom drive. I am about to contact

I have gotten my CDRom drive to work under OS/2 3.0. I have it connected to
the Sound Blaster(its one of the Creative Labs OMNI CDRoms, and I have a
SBPro). But I have gotten it to work successfully. I don't know if that is an
option for you or not. But you say you are using OS/2 2.1. Maybe you should
check out OS/2 3.0?
