 At Starvector Software, we have made it our policy since 1987 to only
 advertise titles which we actually have IN STOCK.  Much of this philosophy
 grew out of my personal frustration as a consumer, with firms that would
 advertise thousands of items, only to have a fraction of them "in stock"
 when I would place my order.  There are many CD-ROM distributors
 advertising "THOUSANDS of CD's", when in fact they only keep a small
 percentage of that quantity on hand.  A common practice is to accept your
 order, and THEN place THEIR order for the CD's YOU just ordered....often
 times from a distributor who doesn't have them in stock either!  This
 creates delays and frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have
 always elected to "stock what we sell".  Like all businesses, items will
 occasionally sell out, but our average in-stock rate is currently around
 97%, and we're always looking for ways to improve that figure.  What does
 it boil down to?  You get your product when expected, and hopefully we
 get a satisfied customer!  Call us...650+ CD's READY TO SHIP TODAY at
 great prices!

 Happy CD'ing,

I 100% totally disbelieve your story and think you are making it up and
spreading lies.

I am in NJ and have no connection at all with Wee except through these
echos and over the past 2 years, I have NEVER had a single problem with
him or any of his merchandise.  I purchased motherboards, CPU's, memory
and there has never been anything but total satisfaction and proper
treatment.  On a few occasions I have spoken with him personally and he
was nothing but cooperative and very friendly.


I feel from my experiences with him that "if" you are having a problem
and I use "if" very loosely, then what did YOU do to cause it.  I can
see him treating some loud mouth jerk like your saying he is treating
you as there are always impatient children who have no disregard for
others and hear only what they want to hear being treated like cr*p but
thats what they deserve.


I cannot see Wee showing a total disregard to his business and treating
you as you say he has without YOU doing something improper first.  Like
I said I dealt with him for over two years and he has been nothing but
the most cooperative, helpful and friendly and I think that maybe you
should step back and think about what YOU could have done to have this
situation end up the way it has.

Read: [N/A]                                 Private: No



 If you run TAG or TBBS or RBBS  and  have a  Cream  of  the  Crop
 shareware cd I would invite  you  to  try  out a  utility I  have
 written to automatically and INSTANTLY set up Cream of  the  Crop
 with your bbs.

 The RBBS utility (RB_cream) has been  tested  but  more  feedback
 would boost my  confidence  to  include  it  on  later  releases.

 The TBBS utility (TB_cream) has been partially tested but due  to
 the complexity of the TBBS requirements it needs to be thoroughly
 put through the paces... Also TBBS has  an  undocumented  feature
 to include a number after the drive letter  that  corresponds  to
 the number of the cd rom drive the cd is running  in.   Any  info
 on this will be appreciated.

 The TAG utility (TAGcream) has not been tested but  based  on  my
 experience I believe it will work.  I had to make a guess on  how
 to format the extended portion of the  file  description  but  as
 soon as I  find  out  what  format  TAG  desires  I'll  make  the
 adjustments.

 You  can  either  log  on  my  bbs  (205-824-2611)  and  download
 TAGcream.exe or TB_cream.exe  or  RB_Cream.exe  of  file  request
 any of them from me at 3625/441.

Quoting the inspirational words of STAF VANHOECKE...

===========================================================================
SV> Webster's Interactive Ency 95....44

SV>Could you describe what's interactive about this Encyclopedia?
SV>How does it compare to the Grolier's and the Encarta.
SV>How important is the upgrade from the Encarta 94 to 95 ( apart from the date
SV>naturally)
============================================= VectorQuote 1.o =============

It provides a quiz option with a timer function to let you use it as an
interactive learning tool.  Difficulty level is also variable.  I think
the interface is easier to use than Grolier's, and it seems to have more
in-depth data than Encarta.  Overall, it's one of my favorites.  As for
Encarta, I haven't really had a chance to sit down and examine the new
'95 version, but my understanding is that the look and feel is quite
similar to '94, with the bulk of the changes being in the contents of
the encyclopedia.

Later,

Concerning New Shareware Cd'S, JOEL MANDIGO offered these words of wisdom...

===========================================================================
JM>MS>   Doom Utilities 2...........24
JM>MS>   Doom Accessory Pack 3......21

JM>        Do these CD's have any DOOM 2 stuff on them? I know
JM>it says Utils 2, but, that may be something else.
============================================= VectorQuote 1.o =============

Doom Accessory Pack 3 has around 150 WAD files for Doom 2, and 500 or so
for Doom 1.x.  So far it's the only one I'm aware of that contains the
Doom 2 WADs.  In stock if you need one!

PR>I'm curious since I saw you have Cinemania. Is it true that you can buy the
PR>next years Cinemania cheaper if you have registered the previous one?
============================================= VectorQuote 1.o =============

Three CD's in jewel cases would be under a pound, which would run about
$14 insured to Denmark.  If you care to gamble a little, we can ship non-
insured for about $7.  Regarding the Cinemania's, I'm not real clear on
their registration process, but someone told me that all you need is a
sales receipt to qualify for the discount, so it that is true, then it
would be less expensive.

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT MISFIRES AS SANTA GETS `SPAMMED'
By PETER H. LEWIS

c.1994 N.Y. Times News Service

Santa Claus' data base just swelled by several megabytes, computer experts said
Wednesday, after unknown letter writers bombarded his North Pole Internet
address with thousands of Christmas letters.

``Santa got spammed,'' said Carl Malamud of Washington, referring to the
practice, reviled in cyberspace, of sending out a bulk mailing of unsolicited
letters or messages.

Malamud, president of the Internet Multicasting Service, manages Santa's
electronic mail, cookie recipe, Christmas jingle and volunteer information
center on the global network of computers.

What started as a high-tech ``Cyberspace Christmas'' fund-raising effort by
several civic-minded organizations appears to have backfired, at least
temporarily, said George Paolini, corporate information manager for Sun
Microsystems Inc. of Mountain View, Calif.

Sun was one of four companies that promised to donate 10 cents each time
someone used the Internet's World Wide Web electronic publishing resource to
read about a specific charity.

Although more than 30 million computer users worldwide are thought to have the
ability to send electronic mail messages to Santa by using the Internet, only
about 2 million people are believed to have the advanced technical tools needed
to visit Santa's ``home page'' on the World Wide Web. People with access to the
World Wide Web can visit Santa's Cyberspace Christmas center at the URL:
http://north.pole.org.

But at least some Internet users apparently misinterpreted the offer, thinking
that Sun and the other companies, including Ex Machina Inc. of New York, would
donate 10 cents each time Santa received an electronic mail letter.

Because there are no stamps in cyberspace, there is no penalty for sending lots
and lots of letters. People started adding Santa's E-mail address -- santa
anorth.pole.org -- to the ``cc'' of every message they sent.

Quickly, word of the charity offer spread throughout the Internet, and
programmers began sending ``mail bombs'' of hundreds of messages an hour to
Santa to accelerate the donations.

``When we got in this morning, there were 42,000 messages in Santa's mail
queue,'' Malamud said. Still, he said, it caused only a temporary hiccup in the
system, and he promised that legitimate letters to Santa from children around
the world would continue to be delivered.

``I'm sure there was no malicious intent on anyone's part,'' said Paolini of
Sun, which plans to donate $25,000 to the Second Harvest Food Bank in San Jose,
Calif. ``Obviously the intent here was to generate funds for the needy.''

Ok Guys,  I've got a problem and was hoping that ya'll might bw willing to help
me. I recently purchased the upgrade version of Front Page Sports 95.  I
upgraded from 94 to 95 that is.  Anyway, I've tried to install this thing about
3 or 4 times and it keeps giving me the same problem.  When I type the
executable (Hike.com) it sits me at a blank screen.  When you hit a key it then
drops you to DOS saying "UNABLE TO CHAIN EXECUTABLE".  I have no idea what to
do (the doc's have been of no help).  If anyone out there has had this same
problem, PLEASE tell me how to get this game working.

Thanks,
Jason Swain

BTW,
When I hit install after installing the upgrade it gives me a fatal error.  I
don't know if this will help any, but I thought I'd mention it...

 Mike ...

Thanks for your advice but I swallowed my pride and my wallet and
bought a utility called OPTISYS CD which allows me to do what I want
with little hassle.  I am installing it now and it seems to run
seamlessly.  Problem is...it cost me 165 bucks!

Sheldon....I purchased a product called OPTISYS CD which appears to do
exactly what I needed.  I am installing it right now and it seems to
work fine.  The only drawback is that it cost 165 bucks but it works
great!  They also have several other products....it looks like they
basically design for large information and retrieval companies but it
is a quality product.


12/24/94 added:    I spoke too soon!  I can't get OPTISYS to work with
ROMDOOR.  Still trying but ROMDOOR only recognizes a couple of the path
names.

Thanks.  I have purchased OPTIDRVR CD and it works fine except....
I am having difficulty getting ROMDOOR to recognize the path names set
up by OPTIDRVR.
ROMDOOR will only list two of the disks as online- DISK 3 in the 1st
changer and DISK 5 in the third changer.  I have no idea why!  I have
rechecked the pathnames and the installation countless times but I am
still having problems.  ROMEDIT, GETON etc don't recognize the other
cds.

Mr. Bailey, I found Solar Realms Elite version 0.986a and Baron Realms Elite
version 0.955 and, even though they are not the newest versions, they work with
most BBS's and I think they work with yours. I'll upload them to you, but if
you have newer versions, by all means use them.  Also I noticed you are using
the same old picture of the Enterprise; if I may be so bold as to ask if I
could make some ansi pictures of the Enterprises for your start up screens, I
am a Trekie and have many pictures and models of the Enterprises that you might
like to have for pictures for your startup screens.  I could also make some
pictures of Klingon ships and Romulan ships for you, as well as some others.  I
would send some money to you if I had some for your BBS but I have none so I
cannot send you any.
                                                        Dustin Shaw

 RD> @SUBJECT:Under a Killing Moon - Sound Problem
 RD> N Hello all: Just got the game Under a Killing Moon for Christmas from
 RD> my wife.  I wonder if anyone has had the same problem I had during
 RD> installation with the program not recognizing the Pro Audio Spectrum
 RD> 16 sound card.  I had to install it using the Sounblaster 1.0 to get
 RD> it to work.  Since this is just 8 bit sound, the quality is not near
 RD> what it could be.  Has anyone else had problems using their PAS 16
 RD> with this game and if so, what was the solution?  Thanks in advance
 RD> for your help.

I set it to Microsoft Sound System with my Winwave sound card after many
tries. There is an auto-detect for the sound cards and choose "continue"
after it detected SB 1.0, it should come up with something that would
work and provide better sound.
Couple other things, I think the auto-detect works better if you do a
clean boot (or for that reason, setting all the configurations too) and
if it detects the PAS16 but doesn't work, check the I/O, IRQ, and DMA
addresses.

Hope this helps.

Mark

I Have always marveled at the fact that it Can cost a person Anywhere from
$15,499.00 - $21,499.00 for a few more CD-Changer Cartridges, and Less Desk
Space.  Is it really that much more expensive To make the drive Chassy a little
bigger, and use a little more plastic and materials to make the CD-Holders?

     After all it's not like you are really Getting What you are paying for
because all in all, you still only get 1 drive. <G> =)

                       Just thought I'd tell you my thoughts..

When I said read/writable I meant affordable read/writes like the one Sony's
making. Atriple speed r/w for about $500 which will make current read only
cd-roms like quad speeds drop even further.

 Hi , Richard !
I can't understand properly what programs do You mean :-(
If You mean programs to play audio , i can reccomend You
Quick CD for DOS from Creative Labs , and for Windows
player from Corel sampler . If You mean drivers , best
you can find is Your native drivers from Your CD ROM ,
Some people use Corel drivers , and saying that it better.

 Hi , Paul !
You problem can have few different solutions :-)
First of all ,check the audio wire from CD-ROM to SB .
If You have SB and CD-ROM controller separately
try to connect controller OUT to SB IN . But if
You want quality sound from CD-ROM just connect
CD-ROM audio out to amlifer , or Your stereo system .
And the last : some player programs turn output level
to zero when starting , so You can try to make sound
louder .

Joe, I already have the two little wires connected to the S.B. I
unhooked the speakers from the s.b. to i.o card of the cd rom, now it
plays audio cd's, but no sounds on windows files or games on hardisk. So
I'm thinking about buying some rca adapters and connecting the speakers
to the i.o card and to s.b. too, with a "y" adapter. Do you think that
will work for show I get one of those speakers type things that have
volume on it.

Thanks for all your help!

I'm thinking of buying Pioneer 604X and hook it onto Sound
Blaster SCSI-2. But someone told be that the CD-ROM's
performance will be held back by the performance of the
card.
On the other hand, 600KB/s transfer rate of the quad-spin
CD-ROM is much lower than that of any HDD, leaving me
wonder about the credibility of the argument above.

Can you give me your opinion, please?
If you think I should get a dedicated SCSI card, please
recommend me an ISA card.

Thanks

PR>I'm curious since I saw you have Cinemania. Is it true that you can buy the
PR>next years Cinemania cheaper if you have registered the previous one?

Just to let you know that Microsoft does not, as far as I'm aware, allow
their software sold outside the U.S. and maybe Canada/Mexico ??? I'm not
real sure about this, but you may not be able to buy these from some
dealers in the U.S. (it probably depends on whether they know about
this, and whether they know AND will obey it).

I got it for Christmas as well.  Go up to the imager, and turn around. If you
look closely at the wall just to the left of the staircase, you'll see a
plaque.   Look carefully at the plaque, read it, interact with it, etc.  You
should be able to figure it out.

BTW, as far as I can tell, it's not necessary to complete any one part before
another.  It just provides some information you may find helpful.

You'll just have to map your way around, until you find the way out.  It took
me about 1.5 hours to get it all charted, but there is a way out.

I would like some gentle nudging on these three problems:

1)  Are there any blue or red pages in the Mechanical Age?  I can't find any,
even though I've found my way out.

2)  What is the purpose of the "screen" on the inside of the fireplace in the
Library?

3)  What is the purpose of the white note found in the "vault?"

I have complete the four ages (I guess that's all...the ones accessed by the
rocket, the tree, the ship, and the mechanical wheel).  I found colored pages
in all ages except the Mechanical Age.

Hints ONLY please!  As subtle as possible, if you don't mind.  I've only had
this game a week, and have managed to get this far with no help.  I'd hate to
ruin it now by reading a spoiler!

Thanks in advance.

 The Sony CD ROM Drive came with a "Future Domain IDE-16003" half height card
that occupies one 16 bit ISA bus slot.  The IDE-16003 provides an "Audio Pass
Through" system so external speakers can be attached to the RCA jacks on the
back.  My favorite part is the so called documentation that came with the
board.  The board did not come with any trouble shooting resolutions nor did
the Sony drive. The documentation that came with the board consisted of one
paragraph on how to configure and one on how to install (all on one side of a
xeroxed page! ... Grumble, Grumble).  Anyway onto my problem.

I installed the card with the default setting from the factory which is IRQ 15,
I/O 170.  My alternate setting is IRQ 10, I/O 160.  I checked the IRQ settings
using MSD prior to installing the drive and IRQ 15 was available.  I
successfully loaded Quicken Deluxe and Turbo Tax using the CD ROM, however I
cannot get any sound out of the phono jack on the front when I click on the
people in the advice section of these packages.  I did not have the correct
cables to connect the external speakers.  I am going to go Radio Shack and see
if they have an adapter to change a cable with RCA connecters to Phono jack
style.  I am trying to connect Labtec CS-900 speakers to this mess and the
speakers have phono jacks on the back.  Thank you for responding to my message,
so if you have any hints or suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.

                                               Thank you,

KM> Caught part of this message from you... and am considering upgrading
KM> toa Diamond card.  I'm running a 486DX-2/66 and have a couple of VESA
KM> slots.  A friend said all I need to run is a Stealth 32, as a 64
KM> woulddo no good in a 32-bit machine.

Sorry, I hope I am not being rude by justing cutting into your message
conversation like this, but clearly your friend had a misconception on the
video card processors.  Although your DX2/66 has a VL 32bit bus, a video card
with a 64 bit video accelerator will still run faster than a 32 bit video chip.
 Just like those early Pentiums where some of those system had VL buses instead
of PCI buses, the VL buses are 32 bit but Pentiums are 64bit, still Pentiums on
VL buses ran faster than the 32 bit 486 chips.  The 64 bit video processor will
have more power to pump throught all those pixels faster than 32bit chip, the
problem here is that previously with a 32bit processor, the 32 bit bus might
had to wait for the 32bit video processor to finishe before the bus can
transfer more inof, but with a 64bit chip the chip will be waiting for the
32bit buses to keep up (but normally, 32bit bus will supply enough bandwith for
the 64bit chip to be busy with).  From all the bench marks on the video card,
64 bit video chip video cards have higher scores than their 32bit chip
siblings, on both PCI bus versions and VL bus versions, so I would say that if
you can afford the price, a 64bit chip will definitely give you an edge on the
video performance especially on high color and true color modes!  Diamond
stealth 64 for example on a 486/66 will give you more than 20% increase in
performance than the stealth 32.  Bus width does not mean everything on video
performance!
Hope this helps you in picking the perfect video card for your system (and my
suffestion to you is to get an ATI Xpression 64 with 2meg, affordable card with
excellent performance, list price $249. but you should be able to get this card
for $209).

TR> The kit contains cd-rom, 16 bit sound card,  2 speakers, etc.

TR> hard drive.  My hard drive is about to die and I am looking for one
TR> ata good price after xmas.  My first intention is to buy a new
TR> computerand I prefer to buy a pentium but with the problems I hear
TR> lately, Ithought I would wait until the problems are fixed (and

TR> on a386/25 for a few months or should I just dump the whole setup now
TR> andbuy the pentium?  I will be saving my monitor, cd-rom drive for
TR> the newcomputer.  Should I just get the hard drive for now and use it
TR> in mynew computer?

OK, with the floating point flaw in the Pentium chip I will definitely wait for
the new chip to come out before I jump onto the Pentium bandwagon, and besides
many other companies like AMD, and Cyrix and NextGen and come out with their
version of the Pentium compatible chips (and promising a lower price), so I
would suggest you to stay and bear with you current 386dx/25 for a bit more,
and if the drive if not completely dead, don't get a new one.  OR, if you
really need a new drive, but a big fast hard disk and make sure when you buy
your new system, you get a tower case or a roomie desktop so you can install
your new HD into your new system (having two HD is not common, is it?)  Look
out for the new K5, NexGen586 and systems like that at the beginning of 1995,
Intel is facing big challenge, and if they don't move fast to replace all those
flawed chip, they might lose!!
Hope that helps!

Yeap!

   Definitly it make a difference, and it'll do a lot of difference if
it has the ASP chip on it.
   And this the point the playback, is definitly faster and clear than
the older ones, specially the MIDI stuff is better in this new release.

MR>      What's is the price for shipping Federal Express International to BRAZ

I do sell these alone but they are $10 more without a drive purchase.

I have used them with standard IDE before and no problems, not much increase
in speed but a little.  These cards are what I sell for the Enhanced IDE HD's
and CD-ROM's they are IDE accellerator cards. One EIDE and one IDE should
work.  I do not have a fax line at this time.

THe GSI32 is 2-16550 UART Chips.

Federal Express to Brazil.  More than the cost of the card. $69 us bucks for a
2 pound package.  UPS is usually close or more than that.  US Postal I would
have to check into it.

Not a problem if you are willing to put up with the terrible cost of shipping

You need to check the dealers for a multi-cd interface card. They cost
about $15-20 and will work with panasonic,mitsumiand sony drives.

TR>I asked this question a few months ago but forget what everyone's
TR>opinion was....   Santa brought me a cd-rom kit for Christmas.
TR>The kit contains cd-rom, 16 bit sound card,  2 speakers, etc.
TR>My question is....my computer is currently a 386dx/25 with a 125 meg
TR>hard drive.  My hard drive is about to die and I am looking for one at
TR>a good price after xmas.

        Well how big of a hard drive do you want? It doesn't hurt to get a
new hard drive (I recommend those Western Digital Caviar's they are good
in my opinion and experiences)

TR>           My first intention is to buy a new computer
TR>and I prefer to buy a pentium but with the problems I hear lately, I
TR>thought I would wait until the problems are fixed (and prices come dow
TR>a little more).

        Well, the problem is fixed and Intel has been shipping out the
fixed chips for a while now. I heard that all the chips made after
November 15, 1994 are ok. I also heard that the prices for the pentium
will probably be coming down in February.

TR>  My time frame for buying a new computer is less than
TR>months.  I guess the realy question is will my cd-rom work capably on
TR>386/25 for a few months or should I just dump the whole setup now and
TR>buy the pentium?

        If I were you I would set up the cd-rom kit, it should work out
ok, you do have at least 4mb ram though don't you? I would recommend you
set up the kit and when the new computer comes in just take all of the
stuff off the 386 and put in on the new computer. (I would also recommend
you get a tower too)

TR>   I will be saving my monitor, cd-rom drive for the ne
TR>computer.  Should I just get the hard drive for now and use it in my
TR>new computer?

        Extra hard drive space never hurts!

Hmm, I was getting that same cdr101 error with my old cd-rom drive but I
would only get that error on one cd. It was as if my cd-rom drive was
allergic to that cd and it would refuse to read it. When Gateway sent me a
replacement cd-rom drive it read the cd perfectly. The cd wasn't bad at
all but the drive just wouldn't read it. All I can say is that the drive
is messed up, but I may be wrong.

DS> Will that drive work with a Sound Blaster Pro sound card?

Depends, do mean will it drive it or sound through it.

Sound should work, but for a command card I am sure it has to be IDE.

Let me know

Hi there world!

Have anyone out there got the Genoa Systems 80486PCI motherboard?
Do you know if it is possible to install a CD-ROM on a Soundblasters SCSI-2
interface wich in turn is installed on the ISA bus?
I ask because a note from Genoa said that a SCSI adaptor MUST be installed on
the PCI bus, NOT on ISA.

So, do I have to buy a SCSI for the PCI?

Greetings,
Robert

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, I do plan on making that change.  I do not know
when it will be ready.

I am thinking about purchasing my first CD-ROM and would like to view
movies and games as well as play audio CD's. I've heard that I need a
4-speed CD-ROM to get the movies to play smoothly on my 386/40. Then I
heard that the faster drives will not be that much faster with CDs that
contain many small files. What would you reccommend?

Mine's NEC 210. Just found out it works (sometimes) in a DOS window.
I don't really have the need to run it in a DOS window since if I needed
too, I wouldn't have loaded Windows, but have accessed the cd-rom
accidentally sometimes. I've heard of cd's not spinning up after sitting
still for a while in certain cd-roms but I could let mine sit in there
for a day and still get it to work just fine in Windows or DOS alone,
just not a DOS windows. I'll continue looking up on this. KIT.

Could I ask you what brand and model # of your CD-ROM, sound card, etc.

I have the above, that includes a Phillips 205 cdrom drive and the
Beethoven sound card, by Wearnes Technonolgy.  It is supposed to have
emulations for the Soundblaster, Thunderboard and Adlib sound
cards, but we are having trouble getting speech to work with games.

The factory defaults are set to port 220h, IRQ7, DMA channel 1.
I got Doom II working just fine, but in NHL 95 Hockey the music will
play but no speech using the Adlib sound card option, while the program
says it cannot find the Soundblaster card if the soundblaster option is
chosen.

Any suggestions would be most welcome here or in netmail.

In order to give you exact charges, I need your ZIP code and full
address. It would be shipped via UPS. There is a FULL warranty on the
unit, as it is BRAND NEW. CD-ROMs do not need SCSI-2 at this time. A
basic SCSI board from me is $50. If you use this on a Macintosh, you
don't need a SCSI card. I can't give exact specs on the drive without
opening the package. It is an external unit and works well with
animation, and games, etc. It has a utility for a varible cache, which
can make the unit perform even faster.

I have a SB16 and a Mitsumi CD-ROM. Everything works fine with a normal CD (I
have sound). When I try to play music CD's, the computer says it's playing, but
i get no sound. The headphone jack doesn't work either, but if i turn it's
volume up all the way and wear headphones, I can just barely hear that the CD
is actually playing, just no sound thru speakers. This is real confusing, since
I get sound when I play a CD game. Any help would be appreciated!

Jeff, Thanks for the input. The memory may be part of it, I'm still figuring
it out. Sooner or later I'll get it. The disk is ok, as it acts the same
running from either hard or floppy disk. Thanks again for the input. AL

Hello,

I need help if it is possible, we, I mean, my associate and I have
bought a new Pentium PCI 60 mhz Board in replacement of the 386 DX33 mhz
we had to operate our BBS. We made the changes and everything seem to
work fine except our PIONEER CD PLAYER DMR600, it is working with a
Corel SCCI Card LS2000 and the system doesn't seem to sense the card and
then it doesn't take the driver.

We have been searching to see if there wasn't any Irq's conflict but we
don't find anything.

Is there anybody on the Net that experienced this kind of trouble
already and finally succeded installing it.

Jim, Could you possibly pass along the support number and
possibly a bbs number for drivers if you have it. I also have a
Pioneer 6 -disc changer, was having problems but solved it by
getting an Adaptec 1542cf controller. I would appreciate having
the support number though. Thanks for posting the self-test info.

Hello Terry,

     On 7 Dec 94 you had advertised a CD special that ended that Friday.
     I didn't have a CD-Rom until Christmas and couldn't take you up on
     the offer. I'm inquiring if the offer can be extended for a short
     period longer so I can get it. It was the one with the 12,747
     photos and 15 movies on 6 CD's for $80.00. please let me know if
     you would still be willing to do this.

     Thank-you     Dennis

Hi, there are red and blue pages (1 each) in each age.  As you probably know,
put them in the books (colored coordinated) at MYST island and learn more about
the adventure.  The fireplace come in at the end.  Keep the white page.  There
are two halves (in in channelwood age) and provides valuable info.

In Mech age, there are secret panels behind certin objects.  Click around in
each room. You'll find it.

    I bought one of those Mitsummi quad speed cd roms with the mitsummi
ide controller because I had two hard drives hooked up to my system
already.  Anyone know how to make the system recognize a third hard drive
connected to the IDE cd rom controller?  The instructions state that it can
be used to control another hard drive.  The CD rom works fine.

TIA,

Don

Hello Terry!
I have had some problems with my computer so I'm not sure weather you have
recieved any of my letters or not.
My problem is that I haven't recieved any of the games I ordered from your
company yet. I ordered them in the beginning of November and recieved a message
that at least one of them was on its way.
Could you please tell me when you sent it, so I know when to expect the
package.
I wish you a happy New Year, and hope to hear from you soon

B/rgds.

Hello Vaughn!
I'm sorry if you haven't recieved any of my letters in a long time.
I've had some problems with the packet,so instead of sending the letters out to
the conf. it simply kept them in a directory on my HD. The problem was that I
had somehow erased the PKZIP file so none of my letters got packet before
sending.
Have you recieved the money yet??
They should be there by now. Not even the US.mail and the Danish combined can
be this slow. So if you haven't recieved anything yet just let me know and I'll
send you another cheque (unless you have already sold the game to other side.)
Happy New Year and I hope to hear from you soon.

B/rgds.

I just got Quarantine on CD-ROM, and I've got a couple questions. First, which
graphics card does the game need to run the intro video? I've tried alot of
them, and none seem to work. Where's the VESA driver that I need to run that
stupid video? Next, I can't seem to get lucky with the fares. In the
Project(level 4), I cannot get the password from any of them. I've towed about
30 of 'em, beat the boss, and they still won't tell it to me. Can anyone help?

I have read your posts and can testify that this is the normal runaround
routine given by disreputable dealers. I was the victim of one such "return
policy" by a company called DallasFax which is now bankrupt.

The fact that Mr. Yung cannot deny your story sends me a red flag.

(There has been some useless dribble from some of Mr. Yung's "customers"
who are calling you a liar and suggesting that if Mr. Yung did rip you off
that it was due to your tone of voice or your attitude and that, somehow,
that makes it ok. What a wonderful policy, eh?)

BTW, what was the make and model of the CD-ROM drive that you got shafted
on? I'm in the market for a SCSI 4X CD-ROM DRIVE from an honest, reputable
dealer.

Thanks, from someone who's been there.

 Hey, I've got the exact CD-ROM drive too!  Anyway after a very
 lllloooonnnngggg two and a half hours I got it working!  (Almost
 gave up)  I connected the supplied connector from the audio out
 on the back of the drive to my Sound Blaster 16.  Then I hooked
 my speakers up to my Sound Blaster.  If you don't have a sound
 card the controller that came with the drive should have an audio
 in connector on it.  Then you should be able to hook your speakers
 up to that.  By the way if you only have one IDE hard drive installed
 on your system you won't need to use the controller card that came
 with the drive.

 If your drive is 1x speed your problem could be the low
 transfer rates.  It could also be your video card.  Or it
 could be your monitor and drivers for your video card.
 Make sure that your video card supports resolutions of at
 least 800x600 and that your monitor can support those
 resolutions too.

 Hope that I could help!

I have one question.  Illinois Sales Tax is 6.25%  You ask Illinois residents
for 7.25%.  Is this a misprint?

I just purchased one for $289 and it's terrific.  Plugged right into my sb pro
II and is working great.  It's amazing how much smoother and faster all of our
cdrom based apps run now...

Mitsumi is supposed to be shipping a quad for $199 or so, but thus far nobody
has had them in stock, so I went with the Teac and have no regrets...

I've never played Myst.  Actually, I never would have bought T7G, but it
came with my CD drive so I played it anyway.  Now I'll probably buy the
11th hour just to see what it's like even though it's not my favorite
type of game.  I really like flight sims best, but all the good ones
comming out are too good for my computer.  One called U.S. Navy Fighters
requires a minimum of a 486 DX 25, and it recommends something like a
Pentium.  I only have a 486 SX 25 with ISA 1meg graphic card and 8 megs
of RAM.  Looks like I'm going to have to go for a upgrade next year.

AC>out the window soon....;) Good luck with the microscope puzzle, let me
AC>know when you solve it....

I heard that it gets easier the more time you play it in a row, but I'm
not so sure about that. :)

AC>say that in the acting business..anticlimactic..I think...I was also
AC>hoping for more....who knows maybe the 11th hour will have a better

I thought that the problem was that you don't know what happens to some
of the people, like the old guy and the younger lady.  Maybe that's what
the video is after you beat the Microscope puzzle. :)

I'm just taking a guess, but maybe you should check your sound setup for
Reader Rabbit.  Make sure it's set on the right IRQ and DMA for your
sound card.  If you don't know what your IRQ and DMA are set for you can
check in your sound card setup program.  If you need more help just
write.

        One can enter the number of switches into the imager by doing
this...Once in front of the water pool image in the imager, turn around
and on the left side of the stairs leading to the dock from where you
entered there is a sign...click on that and go from there...Good luck.

        I have been trying to get that space ship off the ground for 2
months now off and on, and am about ready to throw this disk out the
window.:) can you help ? I have the clue from the library (keyboard) I
am in the ship, but I can't match the notes any advice would be
appreciated....

 DF> It's THAT simple...... weather you put computer components in you

Well, actually it's not *that* simple...the little black audio wire
doesn't always work as advertised.  You may have to put it in
"backwards" or swap wires around to get the audio to work.

Also, setting up the software with a SoundBlaster card isn't always as
easy as one would be lead to believe...knowing which address to use for
the controller card is not always clearly noted in the documentation.

When loading MSCDEX, the buffers setting can be critical on some
machines...and make sure it's loaded before your disk cache or else
your CDROM won't be cached...

Just wanted to put in a few more pieces of the puzzle...

... Don't sweat it - it's only ones and zeros.

  The highest quality and MOST up-to-date shareware cd  available!

 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  current than
 the average file date of Night Owl 14 (currently  in second place
 with an average file date of Aug, 6).

 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! It runs entirely on the cd with no installation procedure
 to waste your hard disc space.  The file listings are loaded into
 memory  which  makes  searches  and  retrievals  almost  instant.

 Cream 5 also has the most advanced BBS  setup  utilities  of  any

 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.).

My thoughts exactly....I'm not going to go out and buy creative labs

adapter for other drives....Now I can see something like that
happening....l8r.....

That is a little expensive....I think they will come down in price
though....They will have to if they think they are going to sell

 Mr Yung,

 I talked with the Pastor of our Church about this situation and he
 advised me to forgive and forget and try to settle this.

 First off, I Apoligize for yelling at you.

 If You are willing to settle this I will send you $ 5.00 to ship me
 the new drive, cables, setup disk and book.

 When I recieve it I will contact the Better Business Bureau
 and tell them we have setteled this.

 If this is OK with you Post me back a message here.

 Thank You
 Richard Leighton

 Hi Becky, Thank You for your understanding, I have tried to answer all
 message to me regardless of there tone. I'm going to try to compromise
 with Mr Yung as my Pastor advised me, I hope it works, my fingers are
 cramping from all the typing. The model of the drive, he advertised it as
 a Panasonic 562b, It did have a name on the drive, I can't remember what
 it was, but it was not Panasonic, it was not a name I had seen before,
 and not a normal one that you see every day. I should have wrote it down
 but I didn't, so I don't know, I would like to be more help, sorry.

 You Have a Great Day
 Happy Holidays
 Richard

Thanks Brian, that was a usefull piece of information. I also have very strong
doubts in that Microsoft should give A DISCOUNT to its costumers! :-)

And especially when I live in Denmark and the CD is purchased in the US.
BTW, do you sell the Cinemania? If you do, what's the price?

Actually you can get full motion video without an MPEG card at about 1/4

Brian,

If I'm not mistaken the sound card that you have will act as the
controller for your CD Rom, therefore you'll only need one ribbon cable
that connects your CD to the soundcard.  You will also need an audio
cable, that is, I believe a 4 strand cable, that connects the soundcard
to your CD.  After that you'll need a power supply cable for the CD.
That should just about do it!

Let me know hoe you make out!

Magnus,

I got one for you.  But since this isn't the "For Sale" conference,
contact me at my I-net address address for details.  By the way, I want
about $30 for it delivered.

I assume that Reader Rabbit use sound cards, have you checked if the settings

IRQ setting and address of the sound card.  Hope this helps!

ATI Xpression and Diamond Stealth 64 are both good video cards with comparable
performance in both windows and dos, I think ATI costs a bit less than the
Diamond card and every magazine I have seen is recommanding the ATI card like
crazy, so I say go with ATI (in fact, I am buying this particular card!)  But
either way, you won't go wrong.  Yes, with the new video card, you will
definitely see improvements in DOS games.  One proof for that statement is that
I tested a 486/66 with the cirrrus logic card with a 3d animation demo, it ran
at abour 38 frame per second (average over about 500 frames), with the ATI
card, the very same system ran at abour 42 frames per sceond, 4 frames
difference is significant enough to affect the smoothness of the animation.

Sean,
What are these numbers for??-------------------------^
   I'll try and give you a call tomorrow or possibly later tonight!!! I'm
trying to talk my brother that's there in Florida into buying a computer.
if he does I would like to give him your voice number (which I don't have)
in case he has problems setting it up and finding something to do with it.
When he was out here visiting I did a couple of Internet mailrun just to
show him what is availiable by computer and I connected to Channel 1 in
Cambridge Mass and chatted with a couple of friends that I have there and
of course he thought that was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I had
to break it to him that I don't spend a lot of time online chatting due to
the cost but that qwk and email were just as good. He's still trying to
find out what his Email name is at work so I cn email to him.
   I'm off to San Antonio (Randolph) again on Jan 24 to rewrite the GACS
SKT again. This time it'll be for 36 days because it's a major rewrite. The
one I did last year was only for 11 days. We only had to make the test
easier!!! 8-}.
   So since you Didn't answer!! HOW'S THE REST OF THE FAMILY???
   What are your highest use door areas?? I'm going to add some to my BBS
when I bring it up in March after the TDY but the only respones I ever get
is Tradewars and Lords of The Red Dragon!

I have a soundscape soundcard and just installed a Sony CD-33A into my
486DX2 66Mhz.  I got the 33A because the soundscape already had the
drivers and interface for it.  My problem is that when I turn on my
computer and go into Windows my CD-ROM is not recognized.  If I exit
Windows and them re-enter it then my CD-ROM is recognized.  Anyone else
out there have a Soundscape or have any idea what the problem is?

That's really strange. In my config.sys file, I have ANSI.SYS loaded
*before* all my other drivers, but just after emm386. For some strange reason,
ANSI seems to kick all my drivers into high memory, but as soon as I remove it,
*nothing* will make the drivers load into high memory.

Hey steve,

  If m'I right, you have the original tiny gray cable that came with the
Mitsumi or the SB16 (right??), if it so, or even if it isn't, the
problem is in the negative and neutro lines.

  So just switch them around in only one of the end, it means or do it
at the sb16 side or do it at the CD-ROM side.

  In order to do that, use a needle to pull them out of the socket, then
switch the 1st cable with the 2nd, then the 4th with the 3rd.

  And now you should be able to hear it very, but VERY!!! loud (of
course if you have setted the SB16 to 8x or 4x in the output gain).

:)

TTYL!.

Yes Paul that will work but overall volume levels will be reduced
slightly due to the cards loading each other down. If your speakers
aren't the type with a volume controll it will be harder to hear.

Have you used the setblaster program to set up the sound levels? are you
using the play cd program that came with the sb16? if so then turn up
the cd and master volume levels on the lower portion of the controll
panel. The ones just above the pictures of the cd and speaker.

   I don't think so, since my only harddrive is connected to the same card, and
the machine runs just fine from it.

Sorry! Does anyone knows how much memory the real game requires/will require?
8 Mb too?

If you got the horsepower (*486DX50 + local bus VGA*) try Wing Commander III.
It is awesome.

Help me!  On Death Gate, I'm in the storage room of the Elf ship and it has
just launched off... I'm sure I've done everything right up to this point but
I can't figure out how to break the lock off of the strongbox.  What do I
need? Is there a key of some sorts?  Also, I know I need some light or make
some noise so the ship will be discovered. Is the answer in the strongbox?

Any information would be _very_ helpful.  I'm getting frustrated...

Thanks!

Chuck Brown

I only get this error when accessing the cd-rom in dos under windows. If

I bought my kids a CDROM for Christmas and a Viacom game "Are you afaid of the
dark".  I got all hardware and software installed and everything but this game
works fine.  I call their Tech Sup for help, and the best they could come up
with was that it conflicted with my video card (TSENG Labs 4000T).  Said I
should try to find an updated driver (VESA) for this card.

Therefore, anyone know where I can find a recent driver for this card? Or how I
can contact TSENG LABS?

Second, anyone have any used CDROM Games they want to sell cheap?  Not looking
for DOS games put on CD, but only those specifically developed to take
advantage of CD's.

Thanks all.

Well, actually, it is meant to work with a Panasonic/Matsushita/Creative

Panasonic.  I fortunately have the drive(but not the money for the adapter.)

 MP> I got a question about Under A Killing Moon..on the back of the box
 MP> it says you need 18mb of RAM! Who has 18MB of RAM! is this true?

I think you're looking at the HARDWARE RECOMMENDED section which says
16 megs. The REQUIRED amount of ram is 4 meg (one section above).

To solve the chess board puzzle, you have to figure out how to place a single

not able to load any saved games and that means that I must start over from the

can not find the MYST CD...even though it plays with the CD in place????

Greetings!

        A friend of mine has several CD-Rom drives which he has pulled from
different machines due to failures. I would like to know if anyone has some
suggestions on what I can do to diagnose the problems these drives are
exhibiting so I can decide if I want to try to repair the CD-ROMs or not. I
would like to get the benefit of your experience so it there are some typical
problems that can be easily repaired to rule them out, let me know please.

                Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

Make sure your setup for reader rabbit sound is the same as your sound card
setup in the autoexec.bat.  Sometimes a program will lock if the irq's are
not the same.

I just recieved your list of questions, and let me start out by saying
this... your second and third questions will become much clearer once
you get the pages from the mechanical age.  Now on to your hints.

1.)  Yes there are two pages in the mechanical age.  Have you found each
brother's hidden rooms?  (look carefully for recessed panels and door
outlines in each brother's room)

2.)  Yes, there is a purpose to that room.  Achenar and Sirrus will tell
you of it's purpose once you give them the pages from the mechanical
age.

3.)  Remeber what the two halves of the papers said... Or click on the
green book.

If you need anymore help let me know.  (doesn't sound like it though
you've almost beat it)  Good Luck!

Go and adjust the volume from DOS using SB16SET in the SB16 directory.
(I believe that's the file for controlling voumes) You can adjust the volume
for Mic, Line in, PC Speaker, CD-Music, mix left right channels, etc. Be sure
to save the settings.

I have a very weird problem.
        Humor me, when I say that I am very good at setting up cards to
prevent IRQ conflicts.

Now here's the problem. I just bought a KW-524H-1 v1.0 (Kouwei Electronics)
Serial Parallel Adapter (2 16550afn's)
        Before I installed it, SB16 Works OK. (I have a 386DX40, and have the
high DMA problem that many of those have, but work around using low DMA)
        I wrote down every IRQ, and Port address for every card on my system.
I set up the Serial Card to unique address'es and IRQ's. When I installed it,
the computer locks up. I can remove the SB16 and the serial card works
perfectly as configured. When I remove it and install the SB16, it works
perfectly. When I put them back in, the computer is a black screen. Here's my
settings and other info:

NOTE 1: The LPT Port for the KW-524 is forced to IRQ7 with no options to
change. I have tried disabling the parallel ports on the IDE Multi I/O board
and the KW-524 to show zero lpt ports.

NOTE 2: Both the IDE multi i/o and the KW-524 show no option for disabling the
GAME port. However, They work fine with the SB16 not installed. The JYEN is
disabled on the SB16

Their are no other boards in the computer, which is a 386DX40 with AMI Bios. I
have moved all the boards to other slots, with no help.

Set up is
IDE Multi I/O has Com1 enabled, at 3f9h, irq4 2nd Port disabled. COM1 used for
mouse. LPT1 enabled at  378h, IRQ7.

KW-524h-1 Has Serial II as COM 2, IRQ 3, at address 2f8h.
              Serial I as COM 3, IRQ 5, at address 3e8h.
              Parallel I as LPT2 2, IRQ 7, address 278h.

Autoexec.bat and config.sys are irrelevant as the computer never boots. Screen
is black after turning it on with BOTH cards enabled.

My Thoughts are that Both LPT ports (On two different cards) are IRQ 7, which
is a no-no. I have disabled both ports at the same time, and at different
times, and no difference.
Both GAME ports are enabled, and cannot be disabled (IDE and KW-524), but with
SB16 removed they work fine, computer boots fine. Problem appears to be
between the SB16 and the KW-524h-1.

Am I blindly ignoring something? everything has been checked 4 times against
the settings described above.

OK, I think I might be able to help you on the controller question, if you are
using the controller only for the CD-ROM (I think the 8bit and 16bit
controllers you are talking about are SCSI controllers), then a 8bit card will
do just fine, because even with the quad-speed cd-rom. a 8bit card will have
more than enough bandwith to handle the data throughput from the CD-ROM, but if
you are trying to get some other SCSI device (other than CD-ROMs) than a 16bit
controller will get you better performance on harddisks and tape backups.  So
for CD-ROMs, 8bit SCSI controller is just as good as a 16bit one.

LC> andtransfer rate something like 680kb, if I remember correctly.  What
LC> I knowabout it is that it's SCSI.  But I have some questions.

LC> 1.  I have the old style Soundblaster card (8 bit?).  Since I know

LC> 2.  Do I need this 16 bit Soundblaster for multi-media stuff?  Why
LC> isn't    my old 8 bit card good enough for this?  It sounds superb on
LC> games    when I run the sound into my stereo.  It just seems like I
LC> read    somewhere that in order to run multi-media you need that 16
LC> bit card?
LC> 3.  I only have a 486DX/25 machine.  But it has 16 megs of ram and a
LC>    Diamond Stealth video card, and of course will have a super fast
LC>    CD ROM drive on it.  Is this enough to run this full motion video
LC>     without having to worry about the jerkiness?  Someone told me
LC> that    the 486DX/25 should be plenty fast enough, that it's the
LC> video and    the slow ROM drives that cause this.  Is this correct?
LC> I just hope I
LC>    don't have to upgrade to a Pentium for a while.  I can't afford it
LC>    for at least another year.

First of all, I think the SCSI interface on the 16bit sound card will sure be
good enough to run the CD-ROM, I know people have been running their multiple
drive off the SCSI interface on a 16bit sound balster without problem, a SCSI
interface on a 16bit SB is just as good as a separate controller card.
Second, about the 8bit sound card, the reason multi-media system "recommend" a
16bit sound card is that you can have a direct connection from the CD-audio to
the audio connector on the SB card, so you can hear not only the digital sound
from your games but also analog sounds from a regular CD-ROM is you use the
CD-ROM to play music Cd (some CD-ROM have regular music track on the same
platter, so you can hear not only the digital sound effects, but also analog 16
bit cd music audio).  But a lot of CD controllers also have a audio connector
on them, so you can connect a powered speaker to the back of the controller to
hear analog sounds (thus you will need two pairs of speakers, one pair
connected to the sound card (the one without the audio connector), and ther
other pair to the back of the controller for the analog sound).  Having a 16
bit sound card with audio controller gives you both digital and analog audio
off only one card and one pair of speakers vs. the two cards and two pairs
speakers you will need for a 8bit card without audio connect.  SB pro although
being a 8bit card also has the audio connector, so you can hear both digital
and analog sound with one card.  Another problem with 8bit card is that, analog
Cd sounds are 16bit samples, hearing it from a 8bit card will make the sound
flat and lose the stereo sound effect.  You think the 8bit card sound good on
your stereo system, try a 16bit card with your stereo system, you won't know
the difference until you hear the difference.
Finally, the 486Dx/25 system should be enough to play many of the video clips
except for eht mpeg format videos.  Majority of the video clips for windows are
in AVI format (video for windows, and intel indeo compressions), these formats
can run smoothly even on a 386/33dx.  But with mpeg formats, unless you have a
mpeg decoder card installed in your system, mpeg files will require a lot of
processor power to decode, thus mpeg will run slugish on your system, (hell,
it's slugish even on a DX33, and DX266 is not even that good at decoding
mpegs).  Fortunately, most CD game and programs uses avi files, so you should
have no problem running video on a 486/25DX, (and you are right CD data
throughput and memory shortage are the bottlenecks on avi files, with those out
of the way, avi will run fine!)  With pentiums having double precision floating
point errors, I will strongly suggest you wait 'till the new chips come out
before jumping onto Pentium bandwagon, and watch out for the Pentium compatible
chips from Cyrix, AMD and NextGen, they are looking pretty good.
Hope the info helped!   J.C.

Hello All!

Well I downloaded ROTT yesterday. Boy, what an excellant game!
Running fine here under OS/2 3.0

I purchased DOOM II last week and my kids love ROTT better than
DOOM II and DOOM II was one of their Christmas gifts.

I guess DOOM II will now slip back into the cupboard and remain there.

Argghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Merry Christmas.

 At this time we don't publish a printed catalog, because the turn around time
is terrible....

 We have ther manufacturers brochures, and we can forward you their specs,
except that if we went to the trouble of producing a ctalog in print, and I
have for 3 people, after I get it to the typesetter and printed, it is
obsolete and have to add more titles, descriptions, etc., to it.....

 The firast printed catalog was only 12 pages the current was 14 pages, and
the day afetr I had them printed, it had expanded to 18 pages......

 When the Pioneer 150 Jukebox comes out, as I'm sure others will, when I get
the specs, they are added to our listing as well....  I try to post the
notices when they come out about the devices....

I just got x-wing on cd-rom and was wondering if anyone had a trainer or
anything so I can play it while being invincible. Also, I have a 2x cd-rom and
am looking for a 4x. I'm wondering what a good price is for a 4x and where I
could find one.

    I had the price wrong, but it's still not bad. They are 49.99.

Damark's number for ordering and product information is 1-800-729-9000,
They'll probably ask for an item number so here's that too. It's
B-8520-414104. They're in Minneapolis.
    BTW, if you reply, see if you can find the HS_Modems conference.

I was wondering if the Mitsumi 4x comes with an interface card, like the FX001D
did? If not, you said that it was $185 for the drive...I would suppose that a
Sound Blaster MCD is needed; do you have them? how much?

Damark is a electronics and gen merchandise liquidator. They sell new and
refurbished items. Their prices are good, 30 day return policy (60 on
refurbised items), their weakness is in ground shipping delays. Their number
is 800 729-9000. Hope this helps.

CB> Illinois residents for 7.25%.  Is this a misprint?

 Illinois State Tax in Decatur, Illinois is 7.25%, it is 8.25% in Springfield,
and 9.75% in Chicago according to JC Whitney and Company....

 If you BUY from a place in Decatur, you pay Decatur Tax Rate, if you are a
business, just give me your reseller certificate and you can pay your own tax
on it, and you can then pay the 6.25%

 Sorry, that you were unaware that State Tax varies depending on where you
are..  That's why I drive 5 miles to the MAll in Forsyth, tax is only 6.25%
there as well, but then, with my Reseller Certificate I don't pay tax when I
buy locally anyway, since it is for the sole purpose of reselling...

 Hope this clears it up...

 I only use my Reseller Certificate when I buy computer equipment for
resale....

 I'm waiting for the other one to get here, it costs around $11.00 to send one
CD overseas, so I'm waiting for the other to get here to send them both at the
same time.....

 I apologize for this, but I don't know why they take so long, I guess it's the
holiday season.....  If I don't get the other title in the next week or so,
I'll just send the one along with the latest copy of our catalog on 3.5 inch
disk.....

 You should have them in the next 2-3 weeks, I hope, if not, I'll just send the
Samurai Pervert CD to you, and wait till the Plumbers title gets here......

 Hello,

 I'm not one of the "experts" but I had purchased a Stealth card with 2megs of
Vram and it seemed slow but had good color.  My home was hit by lighting and
the video card was killed with several other computer parts.  I replaced the
stealth card with a
 ATI mach 64.  The ATI mach 64 beats the Stealth card hands down.  The speed of
the ATI is 100% faster than the Stealth card.  Hopes this helps you out.

Sounds good to _me_, but I think you've gotten farther than I have, unless
you skipped some steps that I managed to inadvertantly decode.  Here are my
accomplishments thus far:

1) activated the tall-tree elevator to get to that other place, got the
   page and got back.

2) got to the watery place (with the pumps) and got back with the page.

3) figured out how to activate the ship and get to that {era/world/etc ?}

3a) got the lights turned on in the rock, unlocked the lighthouse and got
    it turned on.

3b) got the page, then got stuck.  Can't figure out what the secret is to
    either the telescope or why the pirate ship's flag is important (in
    the book in the library).  Also can't see what's going on in the ship's
    "aquarium".  I saw a drawing for a submersible light in one of the
    books in the library, but I can't figure out how that might be used.

Generally, I've been getting the red pages since that's what the guy in the
book in the library has been telling me to do.  I'm afraid the guy in the
imager will tell us we should be doing something with the blue pages instead,
but I can't say what makes me think that (other than suspicion).

I've sent this message via FIDO netmail.  If you get it, let me know you've
receoved it.  If I don't here from you in a few days, I'll send you a note in
the CD-ROM echo in reply and we'll talk there.

See ya soon.

I have the Future Domain TMC-850M and I am using the the driver
that came with the Pioneer Ver 2.01 DRD600.SYS and MSCDEX that comes
with DOS 6.2. When I boot the computer all drivers boot ok and tells
me that I have E,F,G,H,I,J drives on line. The problem here is when
I call E-J I get CDR103 Disk is not ISO 9660 or High Sierra
The same CD's work fine on my other CD-ROM's. Can someone tell me what
drivers they are using and if I should get another card. I am ready to
try anything at this point. Ether my 602X is no good or I am using
the wrong drivers and the wrong card. I need to know what card and what
driver will work with the 602X and what it looks like in the CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT to make this thing work..
Thanks for any help out there that I can use....

How about giving me a hint?  I've found the hidden rooms and the red and

control panel at the beginning of the age, the thing with the symbols on
a combination lock type of device.  But I can't find any hint as to the
correct symbols to set.

KM>2) got to the watery place (with the pumps) and got back with the page.

Is this place you're refering to where you go up in the tree houses?  If
so, I've explored that some, found the book to take you back to the
library, but did not find a red or blue page to take back with me.

KM>3) figured out how to activate the ship and get to that {era/world/etc ?}

This is "Stoneship Age".  How do you turn on the lights in the rock?
And how do you open the trunk in the basement of the lighthouse after
you've drained the water out?  And how do you turn on the lighthouse?

Ship's aquarium?  I haven't found that yet, maybe because I have not
done the above mentioned items.

KM>Generally, I've been getting the red pages since that's what the guy in the

KM>but I can't say what makes me think that (other than suspicion).

If you use the blue page in the other book in the library the other son
will tell you to bring HIM the BLUE pages.

So far, I've found the access to all the other four ages, Mechanical
Age, Stoneship Age, Channelwood (I think that's what the watery area
with the treehouses is called), and another area I think is called
Everdunes.  I've only managed to find and bring back the red and blue
pages from Everdunes.  I've found the red and blue pages in Mechanical
Age, but can't find how to get back to the library.

As for the other ages, I can't even find the pages... so I'm stuck for
now.  I've ordered the Myst game book, but it won't be here for another
week or so.

Hope to hear from you again,
-Ken-

Todd,

I will wait for 2-3 months to get a new computer. At present you should
be able to use your CD-ROM drive without too much trouble. The only
thing you have to check with your system is how much RAM you have !

That's my suggestion!

There is no answer.  It's more of a game than a puzzle.  All you can do
is keep trying, and get lucky.  Have fun. :)

Are you sure you chose the right MIDI setup when you were installing it?
Or maybe look at the MIDI mapper under main and control panel and change

Well you've got to have a good ear for pitch.  It has to be the same octave
and everything.  Just keep going back and forth from the keyboard to the note
selectors at the front of the ship.  The drawing in the book is accurate, and
the selectors must be in the order noted in the
drawing.

I don't think we're referring to the same white page.  I mean the page you
find in the vault at the pier.  The two page halves are what told me *how* to
open the vault.  I believe i found one in the Channelwood Age, and the other

I already know about the colored pages function.

     You enter the number of switches in the image room near the big ship.
 It is not necessary to look at the footage but makes the story line

switches.  It is located next to the hallway as a red dot.  You must be

it runs without problem on a 386DX-33 similarly equipped. Trying both the

Hi, you will probably only have sound card installed to run your CD-ROM.  It
sounds to me like you have a cd-rom interface on your sound card (most like it
will be a SCSI interface, but can be some propritary interface also).  The
sound card has a audio connector and you alos have a controller card for the
CD-ROM with audio connector.  For the audio connection, you definitely need to
connect the Cd-rom to your sound card, forget about the audio connector on your
sound card (it's there for you while you don't have a audio connector on your
sound card and want to listen to Music cds from the controller card), since you
have a audio connector on your sound card, you only need to connect the cd-rom
audio to the sound card, leave the audio connector on the controller card
alone.  Adout the interface connection, first of all, you need to know the type
of interface used by your cd-ROM, there are two 3 possiblities: 1. Cd-ROM uses
a scsi interface 2. Cd-ROM uses a propritary interface 3. cd-rom uses a EIDE
interface.  Also you need to know the interface on your sound card, it may be a
scsi interface or a propritary interface.  If the Cd-ROM is a SCSI, and the
interface on the sound card is also scsi, you can connect the CD-ROM directly
to the sound card and you don't have to install the controller card at all.  If
your cd-rom uses a propritary interface, than the interface required by the
Cd-rom is carried on the controller card, so you have to install both sound
card and controller and connect the cd-rom interface to the controller card
only (you don't need to connect daisy chain three devices).  In any chance your
Cd-rom is a EIDE, than it's likely you have a EIDE interface already in your
system, connect the cd-rom to that interface.
To clear that up, it seems most likely to me that you need to install both
sound card and the controller card, but connect the ribbon cable only to the
controller card and the audio cable only to the sound card.
Hope this helps!  J.C.

Bogus, for a CD-ROM, any shitty ass SCSI controller as long as it is a SCSI
will be more than enough to do the job, on a 8bit connection the top throughput
will be about 5meg/second (the theorical throughput, in real life it tops at
about 1-2meg /second), but heh, shit, with today's slugish "top" speed of
cd-rom at about 600kb/second, the 5meg/second tansfer rate of a 8bit connector
will do enough to keep up with cd-roms.  The interface on the sound blaster is
on a 16bit card, hell, you can run a 8X speed Cd-ROM without choking (if a 8X
speed exists), don't listen to who ever said the SB scsi 2 will not do the job,
it's pure bull!
If you want to wast both money and one slot space on a SCSI controller, go
ahead, if not, Sound Blaster II SCSI will do just fine,(man don't you get
pissed off when people try to give advice while they don't even know what the
hell they are talking about!)

It seems like you want the digitized sound from the CD, do you have a sound
card in your system, in order to hear the sound in a program (other than music
CDs and music tracks on some Cd-ROMs) you have to have a sound card in your
system and a pair of speakers connected to the sound card.  Wihout sound card
you can only hear analog sound from music CDs or music tracks on Cd-ROMs from
the from earphone jack or the jack on the controller card, you need a sound
card for the digitized sounds.

I haven't run into that one yet, but I've had my fair share of problems with
Comptons95...

#1 Video:
    To put it bluntly, it sucks.  For starters, it is slow.  Although my system
is not a speed demon, it meets/exceeds the MPC 2 standard.  I can only get the
video to play in the 640x480x256 mode.  If the mode is 800X600, the video plays
back as if I were using a 1x cdrom with a 386/20.  (no audio, choppy video).
Also, if I view the video in the big-screen mode, the video is offset from the
place it should be, so much even that it covers some controls!

#2 General Performance:
    Video isn't the only thing that is slow, the whole encyclopedia seems slow.
And since I've installed it, whatever it put in seems to have degraded my
system performce even when the program is not running (comptons).

#3 Video for Win Verison:
    The version of VFW that comptons is noticably slow than the pervious verion
I had installed, and also has streaking problems.

#4 Tech support:
    I called them several times, and ended up waiting about 20 minuets (at my
cost)

In my opinion, the Comptons 95 encylopedia is a bad buy, should have went with
Encarta (at least you can trust Microsoft to make good stuff).

Hey steve,

  If m'I right, you have the original tiny gray cable that came with the
Mitsumi or the SB16 (right??), if it so, or even if it isn't, the
problem is in the negative and neutro lines.

  So just switch them around in only one of the end, it means or do it
at the sb16 side or do it at the CD-ROM side.

  In order to do that, use a needle to pull them out of the socket, then
switch the 1st cable with the 2nd, then the 4th with the 3rd.

  And now you should be able to hear it very, but VERY!!! loud (of
course if you have setted the SB16 to 8x or 4x in the output gain).

:)

TTYL!.

Hi Rich from Cheyenne!

Yes, and thanks for the tip...have tried this file...and unfortunately
it does not do the trick...I have found out that this one allows greater
use of upper memory (at some sacrifice in speed) by the v.exe (viewer?),
freeing more lower memory.  Looks like I will have to run from an
uncompressed drive, after backing up...

Thanks for your help!

They were also in a directory call CDTESTS on the old Gigabyte Gold disk which
is where I found them a few years ago.  The programs were written by Trantor
and Nimbus.

Anyway, if anybody wants a copy of these 19 utilities, freq CDUTILS.ZIP from
either 147/7 or 147/49.

Hi Ji! I want to improve my .AVI performance.  You seem pretty
knowledgeable in this area and I would like to ask for your help.

My system is 486DX33 /w 16meg RAM. I am using WFWG and DOS6.22. My
Plextor 4X is connected to my SB16 SCSI and my video card is Cirrus
Logic 5426.

I used to have MS Video_for_windows V1.1(older version), and now using
the updated one provided by Encarta'95. With V1.1 the video appeared to
be a bit jerky in any resolution. With newer version, the new video
clips runs also a bit jerky but the older clips become very bad. The
most noticeable sympton is that if I check 'don't skip frames' option,
the sound will have problem to follow up the video frames.

My options are whether to upgrade my CPU or my video card. What do you
and anybody think?


Regards

I have drivers but I doubt there are for the Kodak Photo CD as these

 @SUBJECT:Pitch Control / RS232 Cdplayers?                            N
 Hello.  We are looking for cd players that would have some kind of a
 port on the back that you can hook up to your computer.  We want to
 design a computer DJ system.  We have built a light controller for the
 computer and would like to hook it up with a CD Player.  The Cd player
 needs to tell the computer time tracks and things like that.  Also I
was
 wondering if there is any CD-Roms that you can change the speed of
audio
 CD while they play (Denon makes a few Cd players that do that but none
 interface with the computer)

 Thanks

RV| I use QmodemPro 1.0 as my communications program.  I would like to
  | know if anyone has a program where I could upgrade my program.

You can upgrade to the latest version, 1.53, for free.  The patches are
available from the major online services, MSI's BBS (805-873-2400) and
many local BBSes.

Note that there are several patches required for the full upgrade, which
you will have to apply in succession.

 * OLX 1.53 * I have a reason for being purposely vague.

Have you heard about the new Dark Forces games from LucasArts for the PC CD. It
is supposed to be like DOOM but way better and with a Star Wars twist. There is
a playable demo available on disk i think so if any of you can get it could you
please upload it.

Boris, I have a Mitsumi FX001D 2x that works just fine. I'm
running it with a generic 8-bit interface card. I would like
to use the Mitsumi 16 bit interface card because I have some
potential IRQ and address conflicts. The Mitsumi card
(according to the  FX001D manual) has excellent address/IRQ
selection flexibility. If you have one laying around and can
sell it cheap -- I'd be interested. Respond to this
conference and I'll call or FAX the order to you.

BTW, I'm also using a PAS16 (with SCSI interface) sound card
that also works fine, so I'm not interested in switching to a
sound card with a Mitsumi interface.

My box says 4 mb of RAM required but 16 mb recommended.  It

nowadays.  If they recommend it then you probably need it.

  Make sure the line loading Windows is the last line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT

Sounds like the line that loads MSCDEX.EXE is after the one loading your
Windows...so once you exit Windows the rest of your AUTOEXEC.BAT finishes
and the driver gets loaded.  That's why it's there if you manually type WIN
from the DOS prompt after exiting the first instance of Windows.

This is a warning to all those out there that might be looking to buy a
sound blaster cd kit.
My Sb cdrom drive has failed just a few weeks after the year waranty was
up.  It will not seek or access the drive anymore.  Calls to creative
could not solve the problem.  This drive was used nearly every day but
not to excess.  A simular system with a Mitsumi drive has been used the
same if not more on the other system but it is still working flawlessly.
Can't explain why the SB cd died but I just wanted to let people know of
my trouble.

1. this is the cd-rom echo, so you must be lost
2. you can get the upgrade files from any good BBS, the current version
of QmPro is 1.53
3. you have to get all the upgrade files, since they each assume that

Here are a couple ideas. Memory management  - ansi.sys is overwriting part
of mscdex or the other way around. Change command order in autoexec.bat.
are you using qemm or windows memory manager? Also, delete both drivers and
reinstall ... could be you have a bad install. What kind of computer
are you running? Sometimes you have to rem out a few lines in autoexec.bat
or config.sys and keep rebooting the computer to find the source of the
problem.

Let me know...

 Was the problem always there or did it just suddenly appear? Run a couple
 antivirus programs to make sure you dont have a virus problem. run chkdsk
 to see if dos or mscdex are corrupted. If corrupted you can fix some
 damage with chkdsk /f but you probably should delete damaged files and
 reinstall.

I'm running a CD rom on a 386sx-40 mhz machine and it works fine. As
long as you just want to look at one gif at a time or copy one program at a
time off the cd it really doesnt need a fast computer, or a doublespeed
or triplespeed CD drive, for that matter. You'll need the speed for
games where there are moving pictures.

Why buy a new computer? You sound like youre a bright guy, install the
hard disk yourself and a 486dx2-66 motherboard, get vesa bus if you
can afford it, and you are on your way. Cost: maybe $500-700 depending
on how big a hard drive you want.

I like buying from JDR Microdevices. Their prices arent cheap but their
quality and technical support is excellent. Get their catalog (800)538-500
 or call their bbs [phone].

If you only have 4 mb of ram, Windows occupies about 1 mb so now you're

Is the sound still scratchy when you plug headphones into the CD ROM?
That will tell you if it's the CD rom or the sound card that is the
problem. Is the problem limited to one CD? Maybe you have a warped CD.
They melt on a car dashboard, you know. Sometimes dust gets on the lens
in the CD and you get poor performance. Get some compressed air and
blow the thing clean. Cant hurt.

Get the Creative Labs Discovery CD player and Soundblaster 16 card and

no problems, and soundblaster is the # 1 name in sound cards, and I think
the CD ROM is a Panasonic so it's a dominant brand anyway, the sound is
excellent, It's doublespeed and I'm finding that to be fine for
gifs and shareware programs on CD.

If youre looking to play games with lots of animation and moving pictures,
youll want a faster CD. And a faster computer, probably.

Does the CD ROM work ... does it read the directory of a CD? If the CD
player works for reading directories and data, then you might have a
audio electronic failure in the CD ROM player itself.

Did it ever work correctly? Is this a sudden failure?

Let me know...

JDR Microdevices [phone]     [phone] bbs   lists 4 CDs
in their catalog: Distant Suns, Mars Explorer, Our Amazing Universe,
and Our Solar System. I vaguely recall Sky and Telescope magazine had
ads for star atlases and astronomical gifs but I dont recall if it
was on CD or floppies; you might check there, though.

I don't think there is a solution to that.  You just have to play with

RB> Hi there world!

RB> Have anyone out there got the Genoa Systems 80486PCI motherboard?
RB> Do you know if it is possible to install a CD-ROM on a Soundblasters
RB> SCSI-2 interface wich in turn is installed on the ISA bus?
RB> I ask because a note from Genoa said that a SCSI adaptor MUST be
RB> installed on the PCI bus, NOT on ISA.

Hello, from what I know, I have never heard of a PCI bus SCSI interface yet (or
maybe I am just poorly informed, but I read almost every issue of PC mag,
Bytes, PC computing, PC week, and even Mac Users, I never had the impression
there was a PCI SCSI card out there), and I am pretty sure the note from Genoa
was mistaken, and even I am wrong, and there is actually a PCI scsi adapter,
for a CD-ROM any SCSI will be enough (even the 8bit ones), so there is no point
buying a more expensive PCI scsi adapter (if there is one out there) unless you
want more than just cd-roms on your SCSI interface (Hard drives will run faster
on wider buses like PCI).
Hope this helps!

Sorry, I am not trying to diappoint you, with a 386/40, any animation larger
than 300 pixels by 200 pixels will not be smooth not matter how fast your
CD-ROM is, the processor is hardly fast enough to handle the animation (AVIs
may run fine, but MPEG will not be smooth on any 386 not even on slow 486s), so
if you really want smooth animation, a faster computer will be more important
than a faster Cd-ROM.

I noticed that you set your sound card on IRQ7, you might want to set that to
IRQ5, and tell the games to use that interrupt, since on most computers IRQ7 is
used by the paralell port (printer port).
Hope that helps.

OK, did you connect the CD audio cable from the CD-ROM to the Sb card audio
connector, the audio cable is kinda thin and can be easily overlooked.  In
order to hear the Cd-music from the sound card, you have to connect the audio
cable.  YOu can hear game sound because those were digitized sounds that is
translated by the comuter first then goes to the sound card, music Cd is played
directly through the Cd-ROM and you need a connection bewteen the Cd-ROM player
and the sound card to hear it.  It sound to me like that the amplifier in your
CD-ROM might be kinda of weak or not workiing properly, that might be the
reason the headphone jack in the front is not giving much sound either, but if
you have powered speakers with amplifier built in and you connect the sound
card, you should get fairly decent sound from powered speakers off the sound
card.

Does anyone know what the deal is with NEC 3xi's being so slow.  Mine is
only running at about half speed,  are they just junk or what?

I never noticed this until some of the games I'm playing ran speed
tests on the drive and blew my mind, how bad my cd drive was doing.

Any help would obviously be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

###I am looking for a used SCSI CD-ROM drive.  I would preffer an older
###Toshiba single speed drive.  I am waiting for the prices on the 3501's  to
###drop another $100.00 from the current $320.00 range before I buy.  I  am
###willing to pay $50.00 plus shipping for a working drive.  I will  also tak
###another brand if it is compatible with my SB-16 ASP card.
 +-------------------------------+

I just bought a "NEW" Sony CDU-55S scsi-II internal drive for $199.00.
This drive is GREAT!!!  It is a 2.4x speed drive with 240ms random
access, a 410k data transfer rate, and a 256k cache.  It runs ever
single CD that I threw at it "flawlessly" with no dropouts or pauses
whatsoever.  Do yourself a favor and look into one of these drives
before you buy another.  It's "soooooo" good that I don't think I'll
ever need anything better.

Regards,
John

Hello Michael!

   MY> Do you think you could just attach them to a netmail
   MY> message to Michael Yount @ 1:3624/3...?

If you;re NOT in the nodelist, then I'd have to send it via routed
NetMail, in which case an attached file would be stripped off by
the systems that pass it through.

On the other hand, if you ARE in the nodelist, and I call you, then
I'd be paying long distance to ship you the files.  I think not -
this ought to be on YOUR dime. <g>

If you're interested, I'll leave the info here.  Let me know.

Hello Terry!

   TB> My boys are a little too young for it but perhaps the
   TB> hints will help.   What do I need to do?

In reply to your query for help with THE SEVENTH GUEST, here's a quick plug
for the CREAM OF THE CROP series...

Among the many files on CREAM OF THE CROP IV, you have what is probably the
best shareware help system currently on the market.  This program allows you
to access only specific clues, so that you do not see information you don't
want or need.  The GAMES area on CREAM IV includes two versions of the hint
file reader: UHSDOS16.ZIP (94,545 06-28-94) which also contains a TSR version
that pops up over most loaded games, and UHSWIN26.ZIP (53,575 06-28-94).

To the best of my knowledge, there has been only a single update to each file
since the versions on CREAM IV, and these contains only minor fixes.  I don't
have CREAM V - there may be newer updates are on it.

There are currently encoded help files available for OVER A HUNDRED GAMES.

T7G.UHS (41591 08-11-93) is the UHS file for The Seventh Guest.  It can be
downloaded from the Compuserve Gamer's forum, and from many FidoNet systems.

BAKUHS.ZIP (8,724 04-07-94) Betrayal At Krondor Hint File is on CREAM III.

QFG4UHS.ZIP (27,677 06-12-94) Quest for Glory 4 Hint File and STJRUHS.ZIP
(19,848 06-11-94) Star Trek: Judgment Rites Hint File are on CREAM IV.

On CREAM OF THE CROP II there is a file called WNUHS.ZIP (142,961 08-19-93)
which is an older version of the program but, in addition to the reader
software, it contains a number of hint files (Freddy Pharkas, Indiana Jones,
Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Monkey Island I & II, Willy Beamish, Zak
Mc Cracken, Loom, Day of the Tentacle, Legend of Kyrandia).

On the same disc (CREAM II), you've also got a file that contains solutions
to many of the puzzles in The Seventh Guest (T7G_SOL.ZIP 20,740 06-07-93).

Happy New Year!  ... and if you think that was worth a copy of CREAM V, you've
still got my name and address! <g>

It was probably Matsushita - Panasonic 562b drives don't say Panasonic!

This is legit - Panasonic is a division of Matsushita Electronics.

I think you've made the same mistake that I did when I bought my CD-ROM. You
have plugged the sound cable from the CD-ROM into your Soundcard and the big,
flat cable into the CD-ROM controller card, right?

Don't do that. Plug both the big, flat cable and the sound cable into the
CD-ROM controller card. Then you take the wire that goes from the jacks at the
back of the controller card and plug the other end into the soundblaster "Line
in". Like this:
                                                                  To speakers

I have been reading posts from and to you over the last while, and have
kept to myself in this regard. I DO NOT LIKE getting into these foolish
wastes of time, however, I must say something to you Mr. Ortman
and to the public pertaining to this and other posts you have made.

You are an embarrassment to the majority of the dealers here on Fido and
other networks. Your total lack of respect for your customers as well as
your business colleagues is digraceful. There are ways of handling the
problems you seem so impelled to comment on. Business etiquette dictates
that your ways are anything but professional. I do not know you, have
never met you, have never replied to any of your postings until now, but
I would like to say this to the public on behalf of the many reputable
dealers in this conference: Please except our apologies for Mr. Ortman's
obvious lack of professionalism. The majority of us are not as
unsymphathetic to the reason for this conference, that of discussing
CD-ROM hardware and software. Let us hope that Mr. Ortman and others
will cease and desist from such amateurish performances, and get on with
business.

Sincerely,

Hayden Bradshaw

I had the same problem with the mitsumi drive and sb16. Make sure you are

JP> I was wondering if the Mitsumi 4x comes with an interface card, like the
JP> FX001D did? If not, you said that it was $185 for the drive...I would suppo
JP> that a Sound Blaster MCD is needed; do you have them? how much?

Nope, no card is with these drives, IDE interface, some of the Mitsumi's are
comming with cards but what is the need if most of the people have IDE systems
that the drives are going on.  Just an extra expense that is not needed. I
sell co-resident IDE cards that will co-res with other cards on the system if
the need arrouses.

Not positive the Mitsu 4X will work with the MCD being that they are so new
and the TOTAL out look on the drive is not clear, BUT I can say that they have
promised me that it is the same exact drive as the 2X but 4X.

Hope that helps!
Thanks

hi all. i have a question. last month i sold my car. and the guy who
bought it noticed my computer when he was in our house. we got to
talking and i asked him if he had CD Rom drive on his computer. he got
all condescending, and said no, he hadn't wasted his money on a CD Rom
drive because the current CD Rom Disc size is on it's way out and that
in 1995 they will be coming out with smaller (Physical size of disc not
data storage size) discs and and the drives to use the smaller discs.
and he was waitng to get one of those since the current CD discs and
drives will be obsolete. is this true? or (my theory) was he just
jealous because i have a CD Rom drive and he doesn't?

                     Introducing Japanese Pearls!!

Cyber-Graphix is pleased to announce it's second CD-ROM Release,
JAPANESE PEARLS, and it features nothing but incredibly beautiful
Japanese models in both 8 bit and 24 bit high resolution SVGA color
scans.  Unlike some other Asian CD-ROM discs on the market, JAPANESE
PEARLS has absolutely no duplicate pictures, and it's contents are 100%
Japanese!

JAPANESE PEARLS contains over 600MB of awesome Japanese images,
including PG-rated,a nd R-rated action!  That's over 2600
mouth-watering Japanese honeys for you to savor!  Each picture has been
hand selected to ensure that it is a sharp, clear scan, and the model
is extremely attractive.  In addition, the images are logically
organized by subject, with categories such as PG-rated, R-rated, JPEGs,
and GIFs, etc.

Not only does JAPANESE PEARLS have over 2600 incredible pictures of
beautiful, exotic Japanese women, it also contains an array of useful
shareware graphics and viewing programs.  Included are GIF viewers for
DOS, Microsoft Windows 3.1.

Maybe you've bought a Japanese specific CD-ROM before, (such as Asian
Palate), and have been sorely disappointed in the number of images on
the disc.  Believe me, you will not be disappointed in JAPANESE PEARLS!

Japanese Pearls will retail for $59.95, but since you are a valued
STARFLEET SOFTWARE customer, we are giving you the opportunity to
reserve your copy at the special pre-release price of $39.95! That's a
33% savings over the retail price.  But, if you order by February 1,
1995, we will give you an extra 25% off, so your final price will be
$29.96!  That's an incredible 50% off the retail price!

 @SUBJECT:Hooking up more than 2 IDE devices...HELP!                  N
I have a Gateway 2000 4DX2-66V with a VESA local bus.  I currently have
two IDE hard drives connected to my system through the IDE system host
adaptor on the motherboard.  I have a Mitsumi quad speed CD-ROM on the
way, which I understand is also IDE.  My question is this - what do I
need to do to connect it into the system, since I already have 2 IDE
devices connected?  I have on good faith bought an IDE enhanced
controller card, but still don't see how I'm gonna be able to connect
them all.  Anybody have any ideas?  Please?

Thanks!

No, you only need 4 meg to play this game. However you will have to
make a boot disk just to play. Most of the extra meg is used for
the color resolution of the game and has no effect on the play.
By the way it is an excellent game.

If you do, what is the shipping and handling cost?

Are there other charges besides the cost of the CD, shipping, and converting

     Tony, GST (on the converted Canadian value) will be payable on any
     orders from the US.

     Given the recent spread again between the US and Can dollars, you could
buy locally from us, and still buy less expensively.

Does anyone out there have the 1991 or 1992 3.5" installation disk that came
with the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia CDRom for the MAC?  I hae several
copies of the CDrom disk for the MAC, but I need the floppy disk to install the
encyclopedia. the disk I have is for an IBM machine since the company we bought
the disks from screwed up the order. We just got a mac and I tried installing
one of them, and the floppy is for a PC!

If anyone out there has a copy of the Macintosh disk, please reply here or mail
me a disk:
   Tim Klan
   PO Box 89
   Erie PA 16512

Any postage and disk costs will be reimbursed. LET ME KNOW if you're sending
one so that a bunch of people don't send me the same thing <grin!>  I need the
macintosh disk on 3.5" high or low density format. thanks

The main reason to purchase the 55E drive in the first place is to NOT need an
interface card for it. You use the same IDE cable you use for the IDE hard
drive. You must jumper it as a slave by moving the jumper on the back from the
right jumper to the middle jumper. You should have recieved a driver disk with
your drive that automaticly installs it.
As for the sound you need a sound blaster compatible card and the audio cable
that goes from the CD-ROM to the sound card. This will also solve your
connector problem as the sound card uses the same connector as the headphone
jack on the front.

I am  using the cd player that came with sb16, and still doesn't work. My

    Hey there Finn Happy New year!!!

     Well, I was hoping to get this done before a new year, and yes
the mail is that slow! Something had to happen to the money, because I
I haven't seen it. I've been offline for awhile too, so it's good that
we both were'nt trying to get intouch. I still have the CD and its still
your's when ever the mail may come! It's been almost two months since we
have been trying to complete this deal? It's a good thing we don't do a
lot of business, we both be broke waiting for the mail! What ever you
want to do about it is fine, just let me know! I hold on to the CD until
we get this taken care of?

      Happy Compute!! Talk to Soon! I will be posting on this Board.
    \

a BBS for accessing multipal disks. Also, I have a single IDE Rom installed a

Make sure you have the proper SoundBlaster midi mapper installed. Try
reinstalling the sound blaster software ??? Not sure, but it might help.

BM>Am I blindly ignoring something? everything has been checked 4 times against
BM>the settings described above.

Bruce I went through something like this when I added an SB clone to my
system with a GUS on board. My solution was as follows:-
SB defaults
Address   220
IRQ       7        Note SB16 use 5 as default
DMA       1

GUS defaults
Address   220      SET to 240 to avoid conflict with SB
DMA DRAM  1        SET to 3 to avoid conflict with SB
DMA DAC   1        SET to 3 to avoid conflict with SB
GFI IRQ   11       SET to 12 to avoid conflict with my hand scanner
MIDI IRQ  7        SET to 5 to avoid conflict with SB

Suggest since you have eliminated IRQ conflicts you examine DMAs and
addresses.  Hope this maybe of help to you !!!

Reached Chapter 5 and game went into an endless animation sequence.
After getting the help file from Sierra BBS discovered I should have
been hearing music, but nothing and I did download the SB16UP.EXE from
Creative before playing KQ7.  Have seen other messages about this BUG
and apparently Sierra is ignoring them.  I complained to Sierra about
the bugs in Gabriel Knight and found out later that a patch was put out.
Would appreciate confirmation of the BUG and my system is a 486DX33,
with 8MB of ram, Panasonic doublespin, SB16 and lets all BUG Sierra !!!

Hi Daniel


DF>I've never played Myst.  Actually, I never would have bought T7G, but it
DF>came with my CD drive so I played it anyway.  Now I'll probably buy the
DF>11th hour just to see what it's like even though it's not my favorite
DF>type of game.  I really like flight sims best, but all the good ones
DF>comming out are too good for my computer.  One called U.S. Navy Fighters
DF>requires a minimum of a 486 DX 25, and it recommends something like a
DF>Pentium.  I only have a 486 SX 25 with ISA 1meg graphic card and 8 megs
DF>of RAM.  Looks like I'm going to have to go for a upgrade next year.

        Flight sims best eh well I got the game Falcon 3.0, and I can't
say that Flight simulation games are my favorite, its just sitting hear
on the shelf. Nice realistic game, but it is much to time consuming for
me to master the controls and read through that large manual.
        I can't believe that some games recommend a Pentium, I thought
that Doom was big....must be some game. Yeah, I guess that if one tries
too keep up with all the new games and technology, one would be going
for an upgrade every year. Think that I will stick with my 486 DX 33
Vesa until the prices of Pentiums come down....thing about that is that
it will be worth nothing by that time, oh well I guess that my kids will
like it....they won't be grateful, but they will like it...:)

DF>AC>out the window soon....;) Good luck with the microscope puzzle, let me
DF>AC>know when you solve it....

DF>I heard that it gets easier the more time you play it in a row, but I'm
DF>not so sure about that. :)

        Well if the spaceship puzzle in Myst gets easier as one plays
it, it is not doing so for myself...have been trying for about 3 months
now off and on.....:(

DF>AC>        Yeah I got that impression myself, the ending was how do they
DF>AC>say that in the acting business..anticlimactic..I think...I was also
DF>AC>hoping for more....who knows maybe the 11th hour will have a better
DF>AC>more exciting ending...

DF>I thought that the problem was that you don't know what happens to some
DF>of the people, like the old guy and the younger lady.  Maybe that's what
DF>the video is after you beat the Microscope puzzle. :)

        Yeah that could be, if this is the case I will probably never
know what happens to them...:)

Later

Hi all,
        Thought that I would drop a problem to see what comes up.  Night
        Owl 13.  The CD is giving me errors when I try to pull programs
        off of it.  I own several other disks including other Night Owls
        that do not have this problem.  I sent the original CD back to
        the publishers and they sent a new one.  But still the same
        problem.
        I am running a 2x Mitsumi drive with a SB16 card.  It only seems
        to be this one title.  Any suggestions?
                                                -=Steve=-

 Sorry, the supplier limited it....

 Got the CD Titles in, contacting them for false advertising, seems they use a
compression, compressed the 6 CD's onto one, and you MUST have WINDOWS to view
the files...

 Nowhere in their flyer to me did it state it needed windows....  All the
games by the way are for DOS mahines...

 I'm notifying them to send me the Uncompressed versions of the disks, or they
can send me the NEEDED 4 MEG SIMM and a copy of WINDOWS 3.11 or better yet,
Windows 95 to be able to view them....

 I knew there had to be a catch to the whole thing, I've got 3 useless CD's
and a useless FREE CD as well......

 But I guess they will challenge me, they have the convertors to convert them
to GIF on the CD's, but you have to have windows to use it.....

 Have to copy the ads, I'll report them to the Attorney general, if he does
nothing, I'll send copies of them to the Postal Inspector, they did send them
through U.S. Mail, and they are ADULT Material.....

 Hope my customers who ordered them have windows and don't mind it....

 That's one manufacturer I will NO longer CARRY titles for....

 If you have WIndows, I can probably still get them, but you won't get the
FREE CD, unless they decide to include it.....  They are CHEAP, no Jewel
Cases, just a tyvek envelope each CD is in, and believe me, the ones I got
have scratches all over them.....

 Afetr reading this, if you want them, you can send the money, and I'll order
them when I send them my complaint....

 While in the Sewers, get capture some slime in the glass vile. Then

RH>Go to the line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file that loads MSCDEX.EXE and
   add this parameter to it....   /L:G
   This will force the CD-Rom drive to be assigned the drive letter G

Actually the Drive letter assignments depend on the load order of the
Drivers. If the Drivers for the Stacked HD are loaded before the Driver
for the CD-ROM then the CD-Rom well automatically be assigned the next
available DOS Drive Letter after the Each HD and/or Partion(s).

If the Drivers for the Stacked HD are loaded After the CD-Rom Driver,
the CD-Rom gets assigned the current free drive letter, Before the
HD and/or Partions(s)

Assuming the Last Stacked Drive Letter is F: then Put the Driver for the
CD-Rom after all Stacker Software Lines in the CONFIG.SYS and also make
sure the line LASTDRIVE=Z or '=H' in also in the CONFIG.SYS

I do not believe that DOS well let you force a Drive letter out of
sequence. In other words, if the CD-Rom Driver precedes the Stacker
Drivers and you try to force the CD-Rom Drive to be G: you can't because
A: and B: and C: are defined and D: would be next.

I hope this didn't confuse you more, Good Luck !

I just installed a new double speed Sony CDRom with a Soundblaster 16 card as a
replacement for a single speed Mitsumi with the proprietary card.  With the
Mitsumi, I had 617k of memory available-after installing the new one, this
dropped below 490k and with some tweaking, I have gotten it to 566K but can't
improve it with anything I try.  Any suggestions that anyone could give me
would ber greatly appreciated.  I include my config.sys and autoexec.bat files
below for your perusal:

Autoexec.bat:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DOS=HIGH  (UMB won't work)
DEVICE:=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DEVICE=C:\SBCD\DRV\SLCD.SYS /B:230 /D:MSCD001 /V /K /M:P

DEVICE=C:\DOS\RAMDRIVE.SYS 640 /E
DEVICE=C:\DOS=\CMOSCLK.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
rem DEVICE=C:\DMDRVR.BIN  (if I rem this, I gain about 60k)
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTSB16.SYS /UNIT=0 /BLASTER=A:220 I:10 D:1 H:5
DEVICE=C:\SB16\DRV\CTMMSYS.SYS
LASTDRIVE=J
SET TEMP=C:\
STACKS=9,256
BREAK=OFF
BUFFERS=30
FILES=50
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /P /E:1024

Autoexec.bat:

ECHO=OFF
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE 2048 1024
C:\SBCD\DRV\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:15 /V
C:\MOUSE\MMOUSE /A9
PROMPT $p$g
SET DIRCMD=/O:GN /P
PATH=C:\DOS;C:\;C:\UTIL;C:\UTIL\LIST;C:\UTIL\IRQTST;C:\MOUSE;D:\
SETVER BACKUP.EXE 5.0

SET BLASTER=A220 I10 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E

MKDIR E:\TEMP
SET TMP=E:\TEMP
SET TMP=E:\TEMPFILE
SET IBMAV=C:\DOS
CALL C:\DOS\IBMAVDR.BAT C:\DOS\
SET WIN$=C:\WINDOWS
MENU

I know that some of these lines are location specific-one is the line in the
auto exec.bat that loads the cdrom driver mscd001 (4th line).  If this line is
placed after the ramboost line the driver will not load.  I am at a loss but
will certainly try anything anyone cares to suggest.  (I have been all through
my pile of books, but haven't gotten much help.

                                     Thanks in advance,

Okay... lesse, there is one of each color page in the mechanical world.  I
assume this is the one where you have to rotate the building.  Well, how can I
make this subtle...okay... I'll just say that they are hidden in secret places.
 As for the screen inside the fireplace... that is used near the end of the
game... same as the white page in the vault.

CD Games:
1) Gabriel Knight
2) Day of the Tentacle
3) Daemonsgate
4) Death Gate

    I will soon be selling King's Quest 7 and Book of Kyrandia 3 (as soon as I
beat them which shouldn't take too long).

Floppy Games:
1) The Lost Files of Sherlock Holmes
2) Gateway
3) Timesquest
4) Cruise for a Corpse
5) Les Manly: Lost in LA
6) Space Quest 5

8) Rise of the Dragon (missing sleeve to the box)
9) Laura Bow 2: The Dagger of Amon Ra

What I am looking for in trades:
1) Under the Killing Moon

Okay... well, you have to offer the statue something in return for the
turquoise piece.  It might make sense to offer something turquoise in exchange
for something turquoise.  You need to get a turquoise bead from the mouse.
Trade him something that rhymes with bead, like maybe a SEED!

      Yes In Time it will be going down size.. but the one out now will

you need to get the item to "trade" from the pack rat. put it on the

On some CD animations the video looks fine but the audio breaks up.  Either
sounds like loud hiss or broken audio strings.  I've noticed that sometimes it
breaks up in conjunction with the CD-ROM drive activity light.  Specifically I
have this problem running Comton's Interactive Encyclopedia "movies".  The
CD-ROM is running on a 486DX2/66 under Windows 3.1.  There's lots of extra
drive space available and Windows is set up with a large permanent swapfile.
The driver in use is the Voyetra Super SAPI FM driver.  The soundcard is a
Soundblaster 16.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?  Did you find a
solution?

Check to see if you have the MCICDA.DRV file in your \SB16\DRV directory.  This
file does not come on the SB16 Installation disk but is required to get the
CD-ROM is it Ensemble CD program running right under Windows.  This file is on
your Windows 3.1 diskettes.  Move the file to the SB16\DRV directory (it might
need to be "expanded" before you can use it, reply if you don't know what this
means) then there's an drivers icon under Windows Main that you have to select
to "install" it.  Once done, you can use Ensemble CD to play audio CDs.

about buying one.  An Western Digital IDE double spin.  Are they slower or
faster than your nomal SCSI.  Just kind of curisous cause I've noticed the
price on the drive I was looking at which included an enhance IDE controllr was
at a good price.  And does anyone know if this is OS/2 compatible.

Wing comander III will run on four meg but you have to install about 60meg of
it on the hard drive.  If you have 8meg you can play it right from the CD's
with out it taking up so much hard drive space.  And the minimal you want to
run this on is an 486/40 wit 8megs.  This runs it pretty well.  I've heard it
also runs ok on an 486/66 with 4megs.  But it should do better on an 486/50
8megs.

Plus one more thing about wing commander III a fast video card would also help
a lot.  A cheap slow one won't do as well as a good 32bit local bus one can do.
 Basically most people don't have to computer to run it like it's suppose to.

Check you AUTOEXEC.BAT file. It sounds like MSCDEX in getting installed
after your batch file starts windows (the WIN command). Move the MSCDEX
before the WIN commnand, and everything should be a-ok.

MR>Which one is the best: Discovery CD16 or Edutainment CD16 ?

Both kits contain the same soundblaster audio card and CD-ROM drive.
The difference is the software you get.  I have the Discovery 16, and it
comes with some photo editing type software.  It is interesting to use,
but not something I really needed.  It is just that by buying a kit, you
usually get the soundblaster audio card and the CD-ROM drive for less
than you could buy each separately.

You should take a close look at the software that comes with each kit,
and make your decision based on that.

In order to take the block outta of the offering dish(the piece on the right)
you have to put something else in the bowl first...you know the area where the
water is dripping down? you obviously already have gotten the corn by planting
the seed...have you gotten the seed from outta the gord? if you haven't then do
so, then you must trade the gord seed to the mouse who can not see....before he
will trade with you, you need to get his glasses from the Jackalope...no here
is a very critical part, assuming you have already given the Wandering Traveler
the purified water and he takes you to his body, you are given the choice to
take a bottle of bug enlarger or a length of rope, if you take the enlarger
stuff; you're screwed and must reload or start over, you need to get the rope
and tie it around the two cactus's to the right of the pool, then the Jackalope
trips over rope and you can get the mouse's glasses...now you can trade the
gord seed for a turqouise beed, which you place in the offering dish first then
take the piece...sorry that this is a little confusing...hope it helps

 [-------------- you said ---------------]
Anyways, Reader Rabbit and the similar series of releases are memory hogs. You
need to fine tune the memory you have through the config and autoexec files.
Maybe even try a secondary/separate set of config and autoexec files for RR.
There are shareware pgms. to help you in this or create .BAT file to do this
with some utility pgm. to kludge along. -----Bill

Hi All,
        I bought a Matsushita CR562-B CD-ROM approximately 1 year ago and it
seems(?) to be acting up on me. Whenever I insert a CD-ROM disc, the busy
light comes on and stays on for a long time. (used to come on and stay lit
for about 4-5 seconds, now its more like 15 seconds) This will happen
with ot without the CD-ROM drivers loaded. (SBPCD.SYS + MSCDEX.EXE)
If I change drive letters to the CD-ROM, DOS just sits there and does'nt give
me any error messages; the prompt is missing and I have to reboot.
Does anyone here know what this drive is doing and is it worthwhile (or
possible) for me to get it fixed?

p.s. I've checked the SBPro controller by substituting it with the original
Matsushita controller card and the results are the same; this is why I
believe it to be the drive at fault..

Joe,

I faxed Creative Labs my problem, and they told me that S.B. software
comes with a program plays audio cd's thru s.b. Check for a sub-dir
called CDplay or playcd, or check the file list that discribes each

Thanks for your reply, Brandon. I am using a VGA monitor. After checking my
paperwork and talking to the shop where I purchased my 486, it turns out that
my video card is only 256K. They indicate that you cannot get 256 colors which
many CD-ROMs require with this size card. So I will have to purchase a I Meg
card. I spent a week trying to make sense of this, changing the setup, locating
the driver disk which came with the machine, and enlisting the help of
experienced CD-ROM users like yourself only to find that I simply could not do
what I was attemting to do with the video card I have.

What annoys me most is that I told the guy I planned to install a CD-ROM soon,
but he didn't give me the appropriate video card. I didn't even know what a
video card was, so I never questioned the specs. According to them, a I meg
card will cost about $75. The 256K card had a 59.95 sticker on the box. So they
saved me all of $15 on a $1500 purchase and didn't provide what I really
needed. So it goes. At least, its mot just a big mystery any more.

                                                                   -- Joe --

You aren't running a true adaptec or "compatible enough" card. I had a

Thomas,

  (Disclaimer:  I sell the Pioneer DRM-602X changers)

They work great!  I have run one changer on my system for almost two
years and recently added a second one.  There are two considerations
that are unique to a changer.  First, your BBS software or ROM door
should copy the user's selected files to the hard drive when the
download starts.  Then, it should perform the download from the hard
drive.  Second, the software should "lock" the changer while it is
copying files to the hard drive.  This prevents the changer from
swapping back and forth when two callers start a download at the
same time.  (Not an issue for a single line system, obviously...)

To install the changer, you will need a SCSI-2 controller.  It will
co-exist fine with your IDE card and existing CDROM drive.  However,
under DOS at least, you will need to load an additional driver (or even
two) for the changer.

I still have a few changers left.  If you're interested, you can contact
me as follows:

Hey everybody, I'm looking to buy a new CD-ROM game but I don't know
what to choose. I have these choices in mind:

Myst
Cyberwar: The Lawnmower Man II
Noctropolis
Under A Killing Moon
The Journeyman Project Turbo
King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride
The Legend of Kyrandia 3: Malcolm's Revenge

I have a very old computer (386DX/25, 4 MB RAM, 2x CD-ROM) and I'd like a
game that would run good on my machine. I've already tried Myst and it
runs perfectly on it. I'd like to know how the other games would run, and
how good are they (PROS, CONS) etc. Thanks for your help.

That's a weird one, All I can suggest is maybe the CD-ROM Drive or
Interface card in malfunctioning. I'd go and get them looked at. I have
finished MYST and I found out that you can finish the game right from
the start. To do this you:

Look at the last book on the middle shelf that is mostly burned and you
will see several patterns in it. Copy down pattern #158. Turn on all the
marker switches on the island to the "on" position (There are 8 of them). Then
go back to the dock and turn that switch to the "off" position, A door will
open and a white page will be there. Take the white page and go back to
the library. Enter the fireplace and push the red button. Enter the
pattern into the panel and push the red button. If you got it wrong, the
lights will go out and the door will open again. If you got it right,
the whole foreplace will turn around and you will see a green book in
front of you and a red and a blue page. Open the green book and you will
see Atrus trapped in the book. Enter the book and give the page to him.
He will go back to the island of Myst and punish his sons Sirrus and
Ackinar and he will come back and talk to you. . . THERE, it's finished.

Well, I think he's going to have a long wait, because I've heard of
music CD's were going to come out like that but I've never heard of
computer CD's. The new CD players will be mega-expensive so I hope your
friend has a lot of money.  ... Yeah, he's jealous. He was just trying
to make you look bad. Don't worry, regular CD-ROM drives will be around
for a while.

Well, the CD-ROM drive should come with it's own interface card that you
plus into a free 16-bit slot, And you plug the other two remaining
drives into your regulat controller card. That's how I have my system
hooked up. I have 2 IDE Hard Drives with an IDE CD-ROM Drive.

least dups, etc....   Also what would be a price for the complete
series of each?  Assume these are all BBS ready.

MR> Which one is the best: Discovery CD16 or Edutainment CD16 ?

Umm..it depends...if you want the software...get the Edutainment...if
you want just Hardware...get the Discovery. I recommend getting the
Discovery and use the saved money to buy the CD titles you REALLY
need....

Read: [N/A]                                 Private: No

I have purchased a MultiMedia CDU55E CDROM drive with IDE interface card.
Apparently, it can work with 2 IDE drives. (The interface card supplied handles
only the CDROM drive, while original IDE card handles the floppies & hard
drives.)

The supplied IDE card has 2 IRQ choices 14 and 15.

I have tried both IRQ's and gotten wicked problems with access to the
B: floppy as well as the non-recognition of my second hard drive.

I have a Promise Super IDE handling the other drives. It appears to have no IRQ
choices and seems to be at 14 IRQ.


Is there an IDE card that will handle 2 floppies, 2 HD's and the CDROM on 1
card?

Will the IDE channel make a big difference? I have it at IDE channel 2.
(170HEX)

How do I solve this?  Is installing a CDROM this tough??
Thanks for your help.

        Thanks for the information, I guess that I don't have good ears
for pitch. I hate asking this, but if you don't mind can you explain to
me exactly what you mean by the "Selectors must be in the order noted
in the drawing" In the drawing the numbers appear 5,1,4,2,3, do you mean
that the levers must be arranged in this order, or are they arranged
1,2,3,4,5...I have tried both ways to no avail....Thanks

CD Word is trying to get an upgrade ready to place on the open market.  For
some reason they keep running into delays.  It's an extremely impressive
program that requires Windows and--if you want to download info. to your word
processor--a Windows-based word processor.  This price is VERY high, though
(over $500).  Baker Book House in Grand Rapids, MI will be offering an
introductory special for $350 when it comes out.  Another is called the New
Bible Library, by Ellis.  Ellis put out a user-unfriendly program a while back,
but this one is supposed to be MUCH improved.  As yet I haven't seen a demo of
it.  I don't think it requires Windows.

I just obtained the 4 CD Cyberwar set, but can't get it to work.  When I try to
run it the screen goes blank and the system locks up.  I called technical
support, but they're scratching their heads, also.  They think it has something
to do with the combination CD Rom, video card, DX 66 (with an SLC2 chip) that
I'm running.  But they can't be sure.  Has anyone had a similar problem and
figured out how to overcome it.  I REALLY WANT TO GET THIS GAME WORKING!

As of 1/5/95 I still have not received my order for Asian Pearls. As I
explained to you in a previous message I have my canceled check which
you cashed on 12/20/94.

In your reply to that message you indicated that I should be getting my
order within the next few days. Well its been a week now and I still
have not received my CD ROM Disk and the file description listing for
it.

If you have shipped my order then please resend the order or do whatever
you have to so that I receive my order via overnight shipment.

I would like to talk to you voice very much. Please send me your voice
phone # either directly to my BBS or mail it to me.

AND or They are having interface trouble... ;)  They also can't make up there
mind if its "GOOD" enough.. Also they DID release a Limited Edition version of
the game... IT was expensive AND was very limited... One of my friends has a
copy of the LE The 11th Hour.. and hasn't even opened it yet.. (To busy to play
games..)  Other than that, IT SHOULD have been out... I think they do to many
BUG fixes to MASS produce the game.. But they have it... Hard to say when it
involves Devine and Landeros...  Did I answer the question in there?  I hope
so.. Yeah, they can't produce the game enough... Un-offical quote...

Sure.  I am using a Phillips CM206 cd-rom drive (2x) with a
Sound Blaster 16 SCSI.  My system is a Dell 486/66 with 8 megs of
ram, with a Cirrus Logic 5436 cip 1mg.

All of these components were correctly identified by Warp and
runs great.  I use it for everything except calling BBses, offline reader
and playing games.

I hope this helps.

I also recommend you backup your whole system b4 you upgrade.
and use the Boot manager and not the Dual boot.
It works better and keeps your operating systems in different partitions

In the lighthouse you go downstairs and click on the spigot at the bottom left
of the trunk.  When the water finishes draining from the trunk, click on the
spigot again to shut it (making the trunk watertight).  Now go back to the
crow's nest and click on the middle switch to pump out the ship's tunnels and
reflood the lighthouse. Renturn to the lighthouse.  The trunk is now floating
next to the key chained to the floor.  Click on the key to unlock the trunk.
you find another key inside.  Take the key from inside the trunk.  Climb the
ladder and use the key to open the door on the ceiling.
Lighthouse Generator.  Upstairs, you'll find a generator with a battery pack.
Click and hold on the generator to crank it up, which recharges the battery.
Click on the battery to check the charge meter. (The light will run to the top
of the meter when it's fully charged, which gives you about ten minutes of
power to explore the ship.
Hope it helps.

I am not sure why you are having problems with the AVI animations, I ran some
of the AVIs came with the BookShelf 94 successfully even on a 386 DX 25 with a
ISA bus OAK087 chip video card.  486 machines should have no problems running
AVIs (on a 386, video frames slows down to a claw when mouse pointer is moved
during the video playing, but with 486 systems I never experienced only every
slight slow down, in fact bearly noticable slow downs when moving mouse during
video playing).  First of all, I need to know if your system's video card is on
the VL slot, if not I would suggest you to get a new mother board with VL slot
and a VL bus video card (pull out the cpu chip and buy a vl mother board will
cost about $150 or so).  But I think you would most likely already running a VL
bus video card, I was always unimpressed with the cirrus logic 542X chips, a
video card with a better video chip will definitely improve things up a lot
(ATI and Diamond card chipsets now have built in acceleration for video clips).
 A 486DX33 should be plenty fast for AVI files, but I still suggest to turn on
the skip frames when behind option, since the video drop outs will not affect
the overall video quality that much.  One important thing I can think of now is
that your CD-ROM may not be cached by the SMARTDRIVE disk caching.  See, if you
load the SMARTDRIVE in your autoexec.bat before you load the MSCDEX, the CD-ROM
will not be cached by the smartdrive, load the mscdex first thing in the
autoexec.bat file to ensure that the CD-ROM is correctly cached by the
smartdrive, a cached CD-ROM is way faster than an uncached one.
With a CPU upgrade you will sure see improvements in video playback, but it's a
pricy option, try to load the smrtdrive first, then see if that helps matters
in anyway, if not, a faster video card will definitely help, replacing CPU will
be the last option since AVI should run as good on a 486DX33 as on a 486 DX66
(no noticable differences).
Hope this helps, performance of a system can involve a lot of factors, let me
know if you have more problems!

 I had the same problem with my drive also.  It was a Panasonic 563 with
 the Creative Labs name on it.  The problem was that the disk drive motor
 was getting weak.  I verified this by cutting through the seal and
 exposing the drive hub.  This enabled me to give the motor a push and
 it would be fine for a while.
  I finally replaced the drive with a Panasonic 562-B mail order from
 Computer Shopper.  It works like like a charm.

                         SORTDESC version 3.1

What the heck is it?
--------------------

This is a utility that will allow you to find descriptions for your files
from many sources, then move those files based on the descriptions found.

SortDesc can read TIC files, FILES.BBS (standard format), FILE_ID.DIZ,
captured file listings from PCBoard, Wildcat, Maximus and other BBSs
and/or CD-ROMs, or even documentation within archives. It can write
resulting descriptions into a single file listing, or a several file
listings based on keywords in the description (or TIC area).  These
descriptions can be in PCBoard, FILES.BBS, or "long-line" format.

Options include adding a FILE_ID.DIZ to files without one, adding
tag lines or files to all archives, filtering graphic characters and/or
particular phrases from descriptions, and MUCH more!

SortDesc is unique in that it brings all these capabilities to you in
one powerful program.

As well, the author is keen to ensure that SortDesc continues to become
more powerful, without increasing in complexity.  That's why your
suggestions have been incorporated into this latest release, soon after
you made them!  If you have any more suggestions, don't hesitate to
make them.

Upgrading from 2.x
------------------

SortDesc has been completely rewritten 3.0 using Clarion 3.0 for faster
processing.  If you registered SortDesc 2.x, you can call the SortDesc
support BBS for a new registration key, free until February 22, 1995.

Where can I get it?
-------------------

SortDesc is first released on the support BBS, and to registered users.
A few weeks later, it is released through file distribution networks.

The phone numbers for the support BBS are:

I am placing the disks in the magazine label side down. When I called
Pioneer they told me for the second time to put the 602X in the self
test mode and both 602X that I got failed the tests....
My next step is to get a 602X with the card and start over again..
When I asked Pioneer why is it that I got 2 bad 602X and they could not
say why, They told me to try and get one in the East Coast, They may
think it could be in the shipping..

Thanks for the help, I may need it..I am trying to find someone in the

in the shipping...

BP>The fact that Mr. Yung cannot deny your story sends me a red flag.

I want to let you know the fact about Mr Richard Leighton. I did not
know, he put message on this echo.

Since April, 1994, Mr Leighton bought Panasonic CDROM.
After use it for 7 months, Mr. Leighton decided that the CDROM is defective
and he took it apart to see how the internal work.
I returned the CDROM to my vendor, they refused to replace it because
he void the warranty by open the drive.
After all trouble to get the drive fixed. I shipped him a new CDROM without
any charge. But Mr. Leighton refused the shipment and sign his name with UPS.

Mr. Leighton think that it is ok to open the CDROM to see how it work.
Mr. Leighton want full refund so he can buy 4X CDROM drive.
He does not agree that RMA mean repair or replacement but a full refund.
He lied that I asked him to open the drive to fix it and charge him for RMA.
I have a letter which he included with his CDROM that said:
"I had Sony CDROM before I got this one and when the lenses get dirty
I had to clean them. So I open the case to see if I could clean this one,
I thought that might be the problem.......I have concluded that there is
something wrong with the motor."

But on Dec 31 1994, Mr Leighton re-posted message said he want appology
and would take the CDROM instead want full refund.

I just put in a Wearnes IDE drive in my machine and it works fine.

Don't worry if you can't understand English coz I didn't understand you

I hope I answered your question. (If indeed you asked a question!).

Select the 'MIXER' icon in Windows and drag up the volume.
The SB-MIXER should come with your SoundBlaster... If you

 programers left in the production of the 11th hour. Hope the game has abit
 more to it than t7g did.

 If you hear anything else let us know.

  Well it has been years since I played this game but I think you have to
  place the rope on a smaller branch OR rock ledge.  Just click the mouse
  in several other areas on the screen to find out.

Thanks for the reply. I actually have a DOS program to play audio CDs which has
volume control. I realise on rereading my message that it is badly worded at
the end. I am really looking for a Windows program which has track control and
volume control. I realise I can run a DOS program in a DOS box in Windows, but
I would like a proper Windows program if I can find one.

G'day Tony Stott, In a message on <29 Dec 94> , you said :


 TS> 1.    Your formatting sucks big time (too hard to read)
 TS> 2.    You ignored the 10 line advert limit in this echo



I am beginning to wonder where the moderation has gone.
It appears that possibly we now no longer have a Moderator at all.
When was the last time you heard from either Tim or Bob on here ??

When one sees the number of unchallenged infringements of the rules nowadays it
makes one wonder whether those two gentlemen are still active or just dont care
any more.

This message is to all those who like playing games ...

To date CD-ROM's allow you to play games that require massive
amounts of disk space for example DOOM and the like without useing
up your precious Hard Disk ... BUT ... Yep! there is always a BUT.
When you try and save the game (you guessed it) you get a READ/WRITE
error or in some cases it causes a system crash.

Well NOW there is a CD-ROM that is made here in Australia that fixes
the problem. Yep! this CD-ROM has made all those other Shareware
CD-ROM's obsolete.

The name of the CD is MEGA PAK vol1 for more information regarding
price and ordering details log onto CCIC BBS [phone] or FAX
[phone].

Dealer inquires welcome.

Hi Mark, the first thing you do is recheck the interface cable from
the cdrom to the sound card,and make sure it is on the correct way.
Maybe the interface cable is on wronge.
If that fails,unplug the interface cable for the cdrom, and test the
sound card,to make sure the card is mounted properly and not faulty.
If the card checks out ok, then we know the sound card is working.
Next check the power supply cable is mounted the right way for the
cdromand check the power supply cable to make sure power is going to
it.
Remount the interface cable carefully,make sure if the sound card
has 3 interfaces,choose the correct one.Eg MPC has a sony,Panasonic
and matsumi interface.
Chances are a cable is not mounted properly,but if all else
fails,send the lot back for testing or reaplacing.
As I said,when you boot up the error sounds like a cable not mounted
correctly.
I am fortunately lucky to have a local computer shop who does not
charge thru the neck,i bought my SB16 kit from one supplier and got
the local shop to fit it for me,for $30 allup,and he installed all
the drivers to(takes about an hour),so i found it not worthwhile for
me to do it as i was Fairly busy at the time.
Take care,I hope the info is helpful.

  Hi Darryl, I had the same drive and the EXACT same problem. Turns out the
disk didn't want to spin when I inserted it. I had to give it a little bit
of a finger spin in order to get it goin. I rested it on top of my PC for
a day. The next day it seemed to work fine.

  One day later, after puttin it back in the tower, it didn't work again.
I ripped it apart and took the motor out and sprayed it with electric
motor cleaner. It was kinda tough to get in through only a couple of tiny
holes, but I spun the motor as I sprayed.

  Works good now! Try that, and if it still don't work, I'll give you
another solution. Sort of like when a person reports a ufo and noone wants
to believe them and thinks they're cooky. :)

  I had my CD drive next to a tape backup drive. The further away from the
tape drive it was, the better it worked. I think my tape drive is possessed
as it is but I wondered if some kind of magnetic-polara-fluxation field
or something could have done it. (p.s. I've not seen a ufo, yet.) :-)

Bye!

 Hi Andy, Thank You very much for your offer, but I don't have the drive
 I shipped it back to Mr Yung and It looks like I will not get anything
 back from him now, and I don't have that info.
 I did buy a new one, so I'm ok with my kids.
 I did apologize to Mr Yung even though I feel I didn't do anything wrong.
 I did what he instructed me to do. But I have not heard back from him yet.
 It's just that I'm disabled with a low fixed income and the drive was a
 very large investment for me. I have to watch every dollar.
 I have also had so many people send messages back to me, liar, he can
 sue and so forth. I may be an impatient person but not a liar.
 Maybe he was doing the best he could, but it sure didn't sound like
 it. Well, he can sue me all he wants, I don't have anything to get,
 But I don't like to be called a liar by all the others that have.
 I try very hard to treat people right and that hurts.
 If your in the business of selling computer parts and have a
 catalog or price list you can mail me, I'm thinking of upgrading,
 money permiting, this spring or summer, and your offer here tells me
 your a very good person.
 Here is my address:
 2410 Dornoch Street
 Springfield, OR 97477
 Again, Thank You Very Much for your offer.

How would i control the eject/close button from the command line in C or
C++?  I am looking for source or a function.  More than likely hits
MSCDEX...

JC>Sorry, I am not trying to diappoint you, with a 386/40, any animation
JC>larger than 300 pixels by 200 pixels will not be smooth not matter how fast
JC>your CD-ROM is, the processor is hardly fast enough to handle the animation
JC>(AVIs may run fine, but MPEG will not be smooth on any 386 not even on slow

JC>J.C.

I'm never disappointed by a straight answer. Thanks. I wish you were
wrong though. My bank account doesn't run very smoothly either. How fast
of a 486 would do the trick and do I need better than my Windows
Accelerator Card?

You only need to load HIMEM.SYS and a mouse driver....Don't use a memory
manager or SmartDrv....This could damage your system....I don't know if
this is the solution to your problem but it would still be wise to
change this....l8r.....
