Hi Elizabeth. I'm just running a 4meg system. Am I biting off more than my
system can chew? Will the programs not run at all, or will they just be slow?

Hello!
I still have the same problem, everytime I access the drive my computer always
give me this message;
CDR101 not ready Abort Retry Ignore Fail ? _
You told me that the problem exist because my IDE card and TRANTOR T160 SCSI
controller that is included in the package is not compatible. I tried changing
my IDE card twice, I try VLB super IDE card and VLB Fan Card Combo IDE
controller but it still the same. Maybe the TRANTOR T160 SCSI controller that
you include in the package is defective. I ask some the sysops here in the
PHILIPPINES who use the same set-up (they use TRANTOR T160 controller in their
system and a 16 bit super IDE-Card) and they told me that they don't encounter
the same problem and their PIONEER Drives works great. Can you please replace
it with a new one, I'm willing to shoulder the shipping cost.
Edward.

Update for all on the CD-Rom inteference of Colorado Jumbo's. Turns out that
although the CD can magnetize tape heads (irreversible) that was not the main
problem I was having. The main problem was that I was using a Colorado FC-20
accelerator card **MOUNTED** behind the sound card. Of course the sound card
was connected to the neckbone (kidding to sound card :). Unplugging the CD's
power or the ribbon cable made the Restore Compare problems go away as this
affected the input to the sound card. I finally solved the problem by moving
the FC-20 3 slots away and VOILA! the Problem disappeared. TWO calls to CMS
tech's did not give this as a problem/solution so they may not know about it.
Sound card is a Sound Leader SB16 compatible. Now getting 4MB/min+ for
write/restore/compare!
Happy backups..... HC

Your English looks pretty good. But, the colon (:) is misused. It is
used to introduce a list, but the sentence fragment before it must be
able to stand on its own. You'd been better off without the colon and
starting a new sentence with the word are instead of a comma (,). Also,
the word is spelled REPLY, not 'replay'. I'm not trying to be rude or
mean. I'm just trying to help.

Greetings.
I just picked up a Sony 55E atapi/ide drive. I'm very pleased with it's
performance. My question is this. There is an ad for a store selling
these showing a 343k/s tranfer rate. The most I can seem to squeeze out
of it in dos is 300 or so. In OS/2 I have a program that shows 303-304
k/s transfer rate for several different block sizes. I'm using a UMC
EIDE controller with the CD on it's own cable/interrupt. Is there a
driver available to help give Atapi drives extra performance? I've
heard of other Atapi drives getting better performance when on an EIDE
controller.
(the ad is on page 6 of the Ontario edition of The Computer Paper Feb.)
See ya.

WM*I just started playing this game and can make little to no sense of it.
*I figured out the first puzzle but cannot the second. Cool graphics and
*soundtrack but not much else. Can anyone explain to me how to get past
*this level or how to play it. I bought it OEM so it has no manual, just
*a little peice of paper on how to install.
The object of Humans is to use them in cooperative manner to reach
each new level of development.
Since you have finished the first level you know how to make the humans
walk. Using the up/down arrow lets them ascend or decend a ladder. They
may also climb atop one another to reach higher levels. To do this you
position the first human where you want him. Pressing the space bar
allows you to select an action. Select the stacking icon and press z
which is the fire button. Then using the keys F1 - F8 select the next
human, bring him into position and climb the stack. You may also pick
up objects by selecting the pickup/drop icon and moving next to the
object press z. Spears can be used for vaulting and throwing and
brandishing ( will hold dinosaurs at bay). On your way you will
encounter fire ( you can carry a torch and use it to brandish at
dinosaurs or start fires. You will also find a rope, invent the wheel
and in some levels you may encounter a witch doctor who is sometimes
of assistance to you in getting rid of unwanted humans via spell
casting. The icons which appear when you press the space bar are
suited to the human you have selected.
I hope this helps. If you need more help I may be of some help
although it has been some time since I played the game and don't
remember many of the specific solutions to the various levels. It is a
clever problem solving game. Good Luck

First, don't get to frustrated, the game is supposed to be fun. Have
you found out about the map and tower rotation... What it sounds like to
me is your at the dimentional imager. As the note outside the
planetarium states, enter the number of Marker Switches on the island to
retrieve my message. This is from Alrus. He is writing to Catherine,
his wife. The Dim Imager is under ground... I assume you have found
that. When you see plaque on the wall down there, look in the upper
left corner. There should be a green button. Push it. Now you have a
two digit code to enter. (The # of Marker Switches (8)). So put in 8
and click the button. Go to the pool of water. If I remember right,
press the button on the front of the pool. LISTEN CAREFULLY. As with
the rest of the game, sounds are just as important as vision. The note
explains a little background. Next go to the library. Go to the book
shelf. There are four books (journals) that you need to read. Try to
remember everything, but write down the diagrams. Have you found the
"access keys" P.S. they are information, not tangible keys.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Thought I'd pass along some info on the Toshiba 3501B 4X drive.
I ordered it from Empire International for $285 + $15 UPS COD 2nd DAY AIR.
Empire's number is 818-281-8628.
It comes BARE. No manual, no cables, no drivers.
Just the drive, one caddy, and tech support number.
I daisy-chained it to my HD and my Future Domain TMC-1680 and it works fine.
King's Quest VII reports 625 KPS throughput.
The only problem with the installation was with an outdated driver
but one call to Future Domain's BBS solved that.
Here are some BBS numbers that might come in handy for drivers:
Adaptec 408-945-7727
Always Technology 818-597-0275
Bustek/Buslogic 408-492-1542
Dist. Proc. Tech. 407-831-6432
Data Tech. Corp (DTC) 408-942-4197
Future Domain 714-253-0432
Toshiba recommends Pacific Interconnections at 800-706-0510 for audio cables.
They are FAST. I ordered mine on Friday and got the cable on Monday.
Not only that, but they shipped it out w/o prepayment.
On Monday, after I installed the audio cable, I sent them a check.
Just tell them what model drive and soundcard you have, and they'll
send the right cable.
Later,

Hi,
also das problem wast du hast liegt in der zusammenarbeit mit IDE und SCSI
begrⁿndet.
Wenn du einen IDE Kontroller installiert hast, geht der SCSI Kontroller
davon aus, das du an diesem KONTI Festplatten hast. Von einem CD-ROM wei▀
der nichts. Das problem ist nΣmlich das der IDE auf standart IRQ 14 ist
(Festplatte). Wenn du diesen umjumpern kannst auf 15 oder einen anderen
mⁿ▀te es laufen.
Ein bekannter von mir hatte das selbe prob nur mit nem 1542CF und zwar war
folgende config: 2 * 1,8 GB HDD Segate SCSI 2 und 1 * Tandberg 3660
Streamer.
Dazu hat er sich ein quard-Mitsumi gekauft das auch ide war. Er hatte den
adaptec auf irq 14 fⁿr festplatte und den ide auf 15 das lief zu verrecken
nicht bis er das getauscht hat also ide 14 und adaptec 15 !
So ich hoffe ich hab dir damit weiterhelfen k÷nnen
So das wars von:

I have a Mitsumi 4x drive. It has to be an EIDE because the drive has
specs to select IDE ports 1-4. Also, the drive is 8.5k in RAM!!! Another
plus.
EIDE controllers can also use IDE devices. No real difference. EIDE is
mostly for Hard Drives so you can have one larger than 528mb. Also for
performance too. A regular IDE CD on a VLB EIDE controller will actually
perform better since the 32-BIT interface.
I haven't had any troubles with this drive. Other than IDE won't let me
use 32-BIT access in Windows on my hard drive due to it thinks my CD is
a Hard Drive for some reason...... A driver update should fix it
though.....

-> I hav'nt heard of this game before, can you describe it a bit?
->
-> Is it a graphical game, 3-D like DOOM, or text, or what?
->
-> What's the objective?
->
-> Is there a storyline?
->
I have to admit, it wasn't sure if you were pulling my leg or not when
you said you hadn't heard of Myst. It is considered to be a
breakthrough game that was one of the first to extend the capabilities
of multimedia to interactive gaming. To answer your questions, it is
very graphical. Essentially, it creates a very captivating virtual
reality feel as you explore the worlds of Myst.
Myst is not an action game in the sense of Doom. Instead, it basically
involves exploring an island that you were mysteriously transported to
while reading a book. When you arrive, there is no one around. The
object of the game is to explore the island and try to find a way home.
You will quickly discover, that a terrible tragedy has occurred there
that involves the author of the book you were reading and his family.
To return home, you must solve the mystery of what happened on Myst, by
exploring the library and the many unusual mechanisms that you find.
In solving the game, you will be transported to several other places
that you may have initially thought were science fiction fabrications
of the author. You discover they really exist and explore them to find
the things you need and clues that will help you back on Myst.
Myst is a very engrossing experience that slowly develops as you
explore the worlds that have been created in the game. If you like
solving puzzles, you might enjoy the game. If you are looking for fast
action, shoot-em-up type games, you will want to avoid Myst. If you
decide to play it, take your time and enjoy the experience. Don't let
it overwhelm you. Take lots of notes and look around at the scenery to
appreciate the virtual world that the game designers created.

Subj: Need NEC CDRom drivers! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Help!
I'm using a pair of NEC CDRoms, a NEC83 and NEC84 model, and I need the
specific drivers for each.
I -was- using the Adaptec ASPICD.SYS driver, but when I added my Pioneer
DRM602x to the chain, the ASPICD driver tried to control the Pioneer too, even
though it has it's own driver loaded. <sigh> Not a good thing, as it mucks up
all my drive assignments. (And makes the Pioneer appear twice, once as a
single-disk CDRom!)
If someone has the NEC83 and NEC84 (84.1, actually) drivers where I can file
request them, please let me know. (Or if you want to file attach them to me at
the origin below, I'd really appreciate it!)
Also, you could send them to my internet account, if that method is available
to you, at garyg@oeonline.com.
Here's hoping! (and thanks in advance)

Just curious about something....
I have a SB16 Multi-CD and I have a Mitsumi 2X drive attached to it. It
runs perfect. I just bought a Chinon 2X SCSI drive. How should I add
the drivers? I'm sure I have to use the factory drivers in the
CONFIG.SYS for each drive, but in the AUTOEXEC.BAT can't I use the same
MSCDEX.EXE driver with different options all on the same line (ie don't
load it twice)? Just curious as to how I can mix the drives without
sucking up all my memory in drivers.

You don't need to. Marketers have sucessfully convinced people that they
need to clean the lens of their CD player / CD ROMs, when it isn;t even
necessary. Think about it, the lens never touches the disc, you never touch
the lens, why do you need to clean it?

It costs about $50 Canadian to get a CD written, and just as you can
get audio CDs which are anything between 2 minutes and 80+ minutes, you
can write 650 megs or less onto a regular CD. You could put 5 megs on
a CD if you really wanted to... though there isn't much point. But, to
get your money's worth, why don't you scrape up some more software and
fill the CD right up.

Hello, all. I am looking for some information concerning recording

audio. Does anyone out there know whether any of the Writable CD decks out
there can record CD music directly for later playback as a standard CD? How
much do these units cost, and how much is the media, if so. Also, do any of
DAT drives out there support direct recording of sound or reproduction of sou
from a standard DAT tape? Alternately, how much does it cost to have a one-o
music CD cut, and where can such services be obtained? Thanks in advance,

Hi,

files as well as audio to CD-ROM or audio. I can transfer your data for
$50.00 a disc but the audio will depend on the source and how much work is

CD ROM Review : "Hobbes OS/2 Archived" (August 1994 edition)
Publisher : Walnut Creek CDROM
Reviewer : Steve J. Steinberg
E-mail : stein047@maroon.tc.umn.edu
System Requirements:
Obviously if you intend to use the programs on the CD you need
OS/2 and a CD ROM drive. The CD may also be used with a BBS
system running from DOS to make OS/2 files available to callers.
Archives are mostly in ZIP form though some ZOO files do appear.
Archivers are included on the CD and are automatically invoked by
the menu shell when a file is selected.
Review:
Hobbes OS/2 is THE CD for OS/2 fans. This disc is updated
quarterly. I owned the Feb, 94 edition before receiving the
August version for this review. The CD is available as a
subscription with quarterly updates direct from the publisher.
Subscribers will pay the list price, so this is not necessarilty
the most economical option, street prices run $5-7 lower.
Like any shareware CD ROM, there is always the issue of current
files. The lag time between program updates and CD publication
can often mean a newer version of a program is released before
the CD is in your hands. Being updated quarterly, Hobbes OS/2
does not fall victim to this nearly as often as many shareware CD
ROM disks.
The files on the CD are accessible via a menu shell executable
from either DOS or OS/2. The CD is also BBS ready for sysops who
would like to make this selection of OS/2 programs and files
available on their BBS system.
Over 3000 OS/2 files are on the CD. Files are broken down into
sections on two levels. First, by the OS/2 version the program
is written for, 1.x, 2.x, 2.1 or all. Within each of these
sections files are grouped into topics such as games, graphics
utilities, demos, programming, etc.
The shell program allows you to navigate the directories on the
CD quickly and easily, files are displayed by name and include a
one line description via this menu shell. When the user finds a
file of interest, simply highlighting it and hitting enter will
extract the program into the directory of your choice.
The directory structure of the CD makes sense, though it is a bit
cumbersome if you need to navigate at the command line level.
The basic directory layout is consistent from version to version,
which as a sysop who had to manually install the directories to
my BBS, made upgrading to the August release much easier. Of
course, if you use a BBS system that has data files on the CD, or
use a CD ROM door, this is probably not an issue.
BBS ready files are included for RBBS, PCBoard, opus, Spitfire,
Wildcat and Maximus with good multi-line descriptions. I found
very rare cases where descriptions were missing.
The most encouraging thing about the Hobbes CD is that they
actually seem to keep current versions. Old versions of files
were removed and replaced with new versions between the Feb and
August issues.
Some other nice aspects are included disk images for upgrading
your OS/2 installation, for example 2.10 to 2.11. Lots of
technical help files, and lots of files direct from IBM. This
disk also includes files for programmers including full OS/2
implementations of GCC and EMX 08h C, GNU, EMACs, Ghostscript,
and more. A good helping of games, icons, utilities and so on
are also present in mass.

didn't (I have a Trident 8900C). I found a collection of Trident drivers on a
local BBS and used those instead. Much better now. The file I found id called
"WIN31C.ZIP". Actually, I found a bunch of Trident driver collection files
(This BBS has a zillion CDs), grabbed 4 of them, compared them and decided on
this one. It was the most current and has some extra drivers that I want to
experiment with. The drivers are compressed so you'll still need to use
Windows' setup to install them (Windows will decompress them automatically).

Hello Aaron, I use the PANO CR-562B drive and originally used the Mozart
sound card which gave me conflict problems I could never correct. I now
have the Soundblaster 16 card and it works very well except for movies.
ARIS's Multimedia Starter Pak has the MPC Wizard diagnostic disk which
runs a movie demo OK. But, on the other portion of the disk, I can't
even make out the subjects, scuba diver, etc. The program has the
CDMKE.SYS ver 4.03 you mention above. Would the ver 4.10 solve this
problem? I don't know if my video card is a problem however, I don't
think so. It's a Trident VSGA 8900C with 1meg memory on board. I
presently us the VGA 256 color driver. Graphics so far are very clear.
Any info or recommendations you have on this would be appreciated.
Thanks, RDH

Yeah, I used to have a sony 2x cdrom drive, and I really hated

it didn't interface w/ my sb16, so I sold it at a big loss. Right now,

Hello and help,
I'm in the lighthouse (I think) where there are the 3 numbers that
need to be changed. I crossed the gears without any problems. I
can see two handles on either side of the motor and barely see a
third in the upper right hand corner. When I pull on the gear
handles nothing seems to happen - the numbers never change 3 3 3 -
no matter how many times I pull on them. Would someone please

Billions of colors? That doesn't sound like digital to me. It sounds
like analog recording. The main problem with analog recording of
digital properties in the past is that we lose the preciseness that
digital affords. I'm not saying it has no merit for consideration, but
I'll take a wait and see attitude.

Instead of believing these half-baked merchants, pick up a copy of PC Mag
or something similar and review the actual results on the tests they do.
There is a dramatic improvement between 2X and 4X. Just look at the
stats. While a 2X may have an access time that doesn't seem too much
slower than a 4X, look at the data xfer in Kbytes/sec. That's where the
punch is. With a 4X drive, you're talking 600+ Kbytes/sec in a lot of
cases, and a 2X can perform nowhere near that. Why would we all be buying
or wanting the 4X if this isn't true?
Your merchant is full of beans. Why doesn't this surprise me?

These drives are great for BBS use with a 6 second disk change and fast
throughput. They run great with MSCDEX, or if you are short on drive letters,
use OPTISYS software to address a single drive as ONE drive letter across a
network - each disk appears as a subdirectory. These are SCSI drives, and you
will need an ASPI-compatible SCSI controller such as the Future Domain. If you
want the free cable you MUST specify the type you need for your controller.

Make sure your PATH statements supports both drives, etc. It's better to d/l

is solid and the total length of cable isn't over 3ft. long. and if external,
that the cabl eis shielded, sometimes EMI/RF noise will causes errors.

Gary, would you be running an Always IN-2000 card? I've got 4 internal
CD ROMs (2 Philips and 2 Mitsumi proprietary) and 4 external NEC SCSI
drives connected to an Always IN-2000 card. There are three internal
SCSI hard drives on the system, using SCSI 0,1 and 2. The external NECs
are using SCSI ID 3 4 5 and 6. The Always card is using ID7. I can
connect three of the NEC drives but when I connect the fourth, I get the
same message "Invalid COMMAND.COM" or something like that. I've swapped
drives around and even tried removing 2 of the internal SCSI drives
hoping it was a conflict somewhere. I've even removed ALL of the
internal drives and run the system on one internal SCSI and 4 external
SCSI CD ROMs. I just can't get the fourth one to be recognized. I called
Always and they said I needed a new BIOS (which I installed and it
didn't fix the problem, only created new ones) so perhaps you have an
Always card. I'm considering switching to an Adaptec (hopefully I won't
need to reformat my hard drives when I switch SCSI cards)
I hope this helped (knowing someone else was experiencing the same
problem)

-> Is anyone lurking in this echo playing Dragon's Lore??? I picked it
-> on CD-ROM recently. It is somwhere between Myst & a fighting/magic
-> action/fantasy role playing game, with Myst style graphis.
-> Question for anyone familiar with this game: How do you get by the
-> giant venus fly trap?
I have completed the game and can help you along if you get stuck
again. First, you need a rope that you should have gotten from the
Inn when you gave them the resin. If you look around toward the right
of the Venus Fly Trap you will find an odd skull with little horns on
it. Pick it up and use it on the rope to make a grappling hook. Use the
grappling hook on the limb overhanging the Venus Fly Trap to swing past
it. Good Luck.

-> Here are the clues I have so far. I am afraid it is not much.
-> Cabin Lock: # 65, though I thought that the lock also moved on #
-> 28. Imager: # 47
-> Top. ext: 40
-> Water: 67
-> Well, I am afraid that's it, Cal. Any help you can give me
-> would greatly be appreciated.
Since you have several of the numbers that are used for the imager, I
assume that means you have found it and have opened it's control panel.
If you haven't opened it the control panel, go to the note where you got
the numbers from and push (right mouse click) the small button at the
upper left. Adjust the control to display the marker image. You will
find a note laying on the ground to your right as you walk up the path
toward the buildings as you come up from the dock. Pick it up by
clicking on it and do what it says. Once you have read the note, you
should be able to get the imager to give you information that will keep
you going. Once I know you have accomplished that, it will be easier to
give you more tips to keep you going. Write me back and let me know if
this is the kind of help and quantity of detail you need. Once I know
for sure where you are at, it will be easier to adjust the level of help
I transmit.
-> How long did it take you to solve Myst? Did you run into any
-> frustrating problems like I encountered?
I don't recall how long (in hours) it took me to complete playing
through Myst. I wish I had gone a little slower and savored the
experience a bit more. There is a lot to be said for just being in the
game and enjoying the virtual worlds that have been created by the game
designers. And yes, I had my share of frustrations and great
satisfaction when I finally overcame them. Enjoy!

If you're talking about a disk, of course it is. Most game don't occupy
more than 40 or 50 megs and you'll notice that the disk is that size.

Two great adventures, with great story lines, both about the same
difficulty except I can't solve the microscope puzzle in 7th guest. 7th Guest
has more animated sequences I would think than Myst, but I enjoyed them both

Next to impossible my butt. If you think about it a bit its not that hard to
get started. The idea behind the game is to eventually free the father of the
two boys and you do this by collecting red or blue pages from all the
different worlds you visit via each of the books. Quite simply really.

Hi Rett, from downunder!
Do you know of a CD-ROM MODEL PCD-100 ?... its a Pinnical brand...
I was wondering if you knew that the PCD-100 is excatly like the LU-005
If your unable to tell me... do you know anyone that is using a PCD-100 on a
Sound Card.. I have managed to do the impossible and get the PCD-100 to work on
a AUDIO WAVE P16, if you know of the sound card!, by just connecting it to the
mitsumi, LU-005 says in manual!, part of the CD-ROM interface.
Now!.. if I can get the PCD-100 to work as a Mitsumi.... do you think that the
Mitsumi driver would talk to the PCD-100... coz the PCD-100 drivers only allow
for IRQ 2,3,5, as you know.... those IRQ are used on a normal machine with SB
etc, now I know the mitsumi allows for Greater than that... upto IRQ 12, I
think!.
If anyone else has any thoughts... please reply.... I'd love to hear from
PCD-100 owners!
Regards Dave

So did yours, Tony.
From MSDOS 6.2 Help Mscdex :-
/M:number specifies the number of sector buffers
No more info than that, but I assume that some of the more

Both of you , Dont worry about it. These messages are "Echoed" to all that are

in fact sent to "ALL" . The real Dan Taylor will also read this as will
hundreds (possibly thousands) of others. If you see a message addressed to you

We sell them at the nominal price of $8 for a box of 10. However we buy them
from Big W for $7.97 so if you have one near you try buying them there. They
are a very good quality jewel case which include the inner tabs for keeping
inserts in place - some do not have those.
Cheers!

Hi thanks for the reply. Unfortuneatly I've already ordered one :(
Sounds like the one you got was pretty (very) good for $185.
Was it an external Scsii CD-ROM?
I've paid just over $300 for an external single speed SCSII and it's
coming with an AMINET CD(number 4) and I'm not expecting it to get even
close to the specs you just mentioned :( oh well
I already have a double speed CD-ROM on my PC so if I need anything done a
bit quicker I'll use that. :)
Thanks again.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
Can anyone please help? I have just purchased and installed the CD Rom
from a Discovery 16 Pack. The probelm is very little sound. When I run the
test program through DOS there is plenty of volume, but if I then run say Doom
I must have the amp in my speakers turned up to the max to get any sound and
then I only get FX not music. It is even worse in Windows. When I boot up to
get any sound in Windows I have to go into the Wave ensomble and turn the
volume up to full before I get any sound what so ever. As you would realise
this is very frustrating. I may have some system conficts but I would not have
a clue in this area.
Can anyone help from past experience?
From Frustrated. Peter D.

I have much the same setup as you (except the Windows). I don't feel your
video
drivers are wrong at all. Maybe you have a slow CDROM drive (1x)?
The 8900C is not a speed demon when it comes to graphical applications, and the
higher the resolution and the more colours you wish to display will adversely
affect its ability to update the screen quickly. It is for this reason that
stills are good (only one screen redraw), but motion pictures are not (multiple
screen redraws). A solution could be to drop the number of colours and
resolution
to speed up the display, but of course it won't look as good. I guess you just
have to find a resolution/colour combination that you can live with as I can
see
no other reason why it should be so bad (from the information you have provided
and my limited knowledge).
The BIOS drivers provided by Trident copy the contents of the video card ROM
(which is slow) to a portion of the system RAM (which is fast). The purpose of
this is supposedly to speed up the video display for programs using BIOS calls.
You do not need to use this driver if your system BIOS supports video shadowing
(ie. it does the same thing that the drivers would do). Seeing as you have a
486 I would guess that your BIOS does support it.
VESA is a video standard. The 8900C is compatible with this VESA standard.
I'm
not sure exactly about this (and I hope someone will jump in here and correct
me
if I'm wrong), but what I understand is that if a program does not have support
for your video card, but it does have VESA support, then you will need to load
the VESA driver supplied by Trident to tell the program that it is VESA
compatible, and as a result be able to display VESA supported resolutions (I
think they are much the same as regular SVGA resolutions).
I hope this is of help.

Are you inferring that an 8-bit card sounds tinny and lacks background
music/instruments? The major difference between an 8-bit card and a 16-bit
card
is the amount of data it can sample. A 16-bit card can sample (record) at up
to
a rate of 45kHz (my SB CD-16 card), whereas an 8-bit card can only sample up to
a
rate of 15kHz and only in mono (my SB 2.0 card). They can both play back
really
well. The SB 2.0 can output quality stereo (obviously it won't have sampled
the
sound itself). The 16-bit card might sound better (quality-wise - but you
would
have to have a pretty good ear to hear differences) because it is more
technologically advanced chip-wise, not because it is a 16-bit card and not an
8-bit card. There is no tinny sounds or lack of music/instruments. Programs
(games) do have drivers that make use of these fancy chips on the 16-bit card.
If the same fancy chips found their way onto 8-bit cards, then they would sound
the same. You wouldn't pick the difference.
The only reason why I went to a 16-bit card instead of sticking with my 8-bit
card was that the SB 2.0 did not have a CD-ROM interface on the card (like the
SB
Pro and later cards), and the most simple and economic way for me to get a
CD-ROM
was to get a CD-16 kit. I am still very happy with my 8-bit card sitting on my
other computer.

Subj: An Undead 562B drive Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I had an odd incident with the CD-ROM drive on my BBS (which I will
relate below ...)
Last week, my Panasonic 562-B stopped working. It is connected to a small
interface card (LaserWave brand I think) and not a SoundCard and had been
working continuously for a year or more.
The device driver in config.sys hung up ONCE on reboot with a "Hardware
or interface card not ready" type message, Abort or Retry. Other reboots
loaded the device driver successfully.
When the driver loaded and also when a disk was first loaded, the access
light would glow for an abnormally long time (30 sec +) but no software
errors were generated.
MSCDEX loaded OK, but attempts to access the drive gave a General
Failure.
I tried swapping the drive to another PC with a SBPRO, this consistently
came up with the hardware error in loading the SBCD.SYS driver, so it
looked like my drive was dead.
I opened the drive (dang! - there goes the warranty! - well, I think it
was more than a year old anyway...) and cleaned out some dust collected
around and under the drawer opening, but there was no significant dust
near the lens.
I put it back in the BBS machine in case it came good again, but also
because the software I use to detect and identify loaded CDs was working
fine - the dead drive was treated like there was no CD loaded.
Anyway - it DID come good again after a few days. (Maybe it overheard me
making arrangements for a replacement. :)
So what was wrong? I have a suspicion that it may have been due to high
humidity, since we had fairly long and heavy rainfall on the couple of
days that the drive first failed.
Can excessive humidity be a problem in these drives? Is there any good
diagnostic for the condition?
Are these drives worth repairing if they do die? Or at $200aud are they
now a consumable item?

Hi Warwick,try your local Brash's store or decent record store, I bought

And you can get a program from the BBS, ii can't remember the name of it but
it runs in windows and prints covers for cd cases, it is described as a
JEWEL CASE COVER, so if you use this keyword you can find it.
Be careful of the case you buy, one type comes like a cassette cover and
no little ring to mount the cd's on.

Yes this is a very strange problem i have found myself with some CD-ROMs at
work.. Particularly our Aztech line.. It seems to work on some Panasonic
CR-562-B's but on others it won't budge (won't see CD at all)..
I know the CD itself is physically ok as i tried it on other brand CDROMs and
they work fine..
For some strange reason some CDROMs just can't handle having music and data on
the same CD.. (by music i mean being able to be played on normal audio CD
player)..
If you do happen to find out what causes this problem please let me know..
Thanks.,

JAMES PRETTY, a cork cutter of 17 George St Bethnal Green, London
His wife was a JANE PRETTY, formerly CHAMBERLAIN.
They had a son CHARLES PRETTY (3/11/1863 - 22/2/1947)
Charles married a ROSETTA PRITCHARD (24/8/1865 - 29/1/1947), but the date
is unknown. Rosetta's mother was ELIZABETH PRITCHARD, formerly NOLAN.
Charles & Rosetta had one son GEORGE CHARLES (21/8/1901 - 1/12/1982),
another son CHARLES, and a daughter ROSE SOUBRIN, who lived in Dagenham,
London.
George married Margaret Purser (5/4/02 - 7/12/76) on 1/4/24.
Margaret's father was a JOHN PURSER, and mother a SELINA FITCH.
The family emigrated to Australia in 1950
Any help in tracing these people would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
John Pretty

Darn..... we do enjoy those thangs..... hiking, camping, X-country skiing, etc
- but not on a CD, thank you. That sorta "da feets" the purpose! <g>
If you should still want the EMS disc, let me know - I'll sell it for $17 plus
$2.90 postage. (It has hundreds of other files on it - not just fonts.)
Or..... can you tell me something about the following discs?
PC Multimedia Madness Book & CD $13.00 shipped.
PC Video Madness Book and CD $13.00 shipped.
I have a good collection of classical CDs, quality recordings - all "DDD", top
labels/orchestras/conductors/etc. I would trade the fonts disc and an audio CD
for the two above if they interest me.
Sorry for the back-and-forth messages, but it's better than paying for long
distance voice calls.
We should probably take this to Netmail (if you have that option, my FidoNet
address is 1:141/950.1) as it doesn't really belong in an International echo.
In the meantime, I'll go and "look see" what I have for trade on audio CD.
Offhand, I know I have duplicates of "Carmina Burana" and "Pines Of Rome" -
probably others as well.
Unfortunately, I'm not on either InterNet or Compuserve. If all else fails,
(203) 746-1195 (M-F, 9-5)
or 746-1727 (eves to 11P EDT, weekends)

Aye. Yes, there's another way to destroy it. You must get that lifting

still going up but near the top, you need to shoot it. It's hard to
get a good shoot, and you'll need around 4 shoots to destroy the front...

To get past the soldiers, you've gotta be quick. When they get
off the ship, walk out of the manhole and off the screen to the right.
Well, this is the part where timing really counts, when you get to
that alien ship. I use a trick, when I am at the screen where I got
the unstable ordinance, (and returned it), I walked to the right (where
the ship was) and already prepared the hand cursor for the next scene.
I place it on the hole where the unstable ordinance was. That is the
exact location of the entrance to the ship in the next screen. So then,
all you've gotta do, is wait for the screen to scroll, and then click
the button! Voila!!

Hi Marcus,
here Marcos.
MR> I also would like to talk to anyone about culture, History and things
MR> like that in this conference or by Netmail (4:802/10).
We can talk about music, specially Gregorian chant, which is my hobby
I study this and it has very much to do with the history of music and
with history and development of musical notation.
I can also discuss about other arts, but only as an admirer .
We could write in Portuguese if you prefer.

If your getting sound into the Sound Blaster with Computer cds, but not

-> whopping 133MB/s of data transfer... A huge difference over local bus. PCI
-> is *not* limited to 33Mhz. PCI runs at the same speed as the processor

-> prone to errors, and is the wave of the future (sorry, I had to say it :)
-> PCI has completely replaced VLB, unfortunately, and VLB is going to be an
-> evolutionary dead-end for PCs.
I am afraid that you are misinformed. The VESA BUS specification does not
have a defined limit on mhz. It is within the specification, depending on how
you design the mb and with how many slots, to run VLB at 40 or 50mhz.
Also, PCI is not actually a local bus. It is a mezzanine bus. Also, VLB is
not connected to the ISA bus. While it uses a 16 bit ISA slot with a MCA
connector, it is located on the local bus. Finally, PC Magazine, PC World, AND
PC Computing have ALL stated that PCI is indeed SLOWER THAN VLB. According to
PC World, the average is 25% slower. Theoretical maximums are irrelevant.
The overhead presented by the mezzanine structure of PCI creates a significant
penalty than makes it inferior in terms of spped to vlb. The reason for the
mezzanine approach is that Intel wanted PCI to be platform independent- ie work
with any processor whereas VLB only works with the PC platform. Given that PC
Mag, PC World, and PC Computing are all generally considered to be slaves of
Microsoft and Intel, it is VERY SIGNIFICANT that even they acknowledge the
difference. Finally, the CURRENT implemetation of PCI does restrict it to 33
mhz at 32 bits. Those Pentium 100s are running at 33mhz thru the PCI bus.
If you don't believe moi, call Intel. I did.

if anybody can give me some information to contact people in the NASA,
it will be very kind.

VC> Works good now! Try that, and if it still don't work, I'll give you

My CD-ROM drive is on the same position, closed to a backup-tape drive.
Perhaps it will be better to move away the CD-ROM drive but it worked
fine during one full year in this situation. I must notices that the
probem occured after moving my computer by car. Perhaps CD-ROM drive
doesn't like to travel !

There is the HARRAP'S SHORTER which is available . It contains the same

have the translated word coming back) ; it's very easy to use.
If you have enough room on your hard disk all the informations can be

I would like to get some feedback from someone who has bought
this CDROM or done business with this company. How does this
compare with Cinemania? My main complaint with Cinemania is that
it devotes too much space to video clips and not enough to movies
and actors. I think it should have many more actor biographies
and filmographies. Does this CDROM concentrate on the newer
movies (made after 1970) I am more interested in? Thank you in
advance for all replies.

You are in the clock tower. If you notice to the left you'll see a
weight attached to a chain. When you pull on the two levers that
control the gears the weight moves down. When it comes all the way
down, there is no further movement of the gear mechanism allowed. The
lever on the far right resets the entire mechanism so you can try again.
Do you know the correct numbers you are trying to get the gear mechanism
set to? And do you know what is going to happen when you do get the
numbers set correctly?

Subj: SB-16 Discovery ARGGG! Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Okay everyone. I just upgraded my old Sound Blaster 1.5 (mono) to a new
Sound Blaster 16 Discovery Multi-media kit including the CD-ROM.
My question is this: what's the best approach in configuring the sound
card to be used in most games? I have noticed the following: if I boot
my system normal and let the "low-level physical" sound driver load and
all the other drivers and programs, like SB16SET, DIAGNOSE, etc., it
will configure the sound card. If I then immediately boot and hot the
SHIFT key down when "Loading MS-DOS..." message appears and run DOOM, I
get full music and sound FX. But, if I do a cold boot on my PC and
immediately hold the SHIFT key down and run DOOM, the music is usually
faint and I have no sound FX.
So, my question is this: instead of having to load all the sound blaster
drivers prior to running DOOM, possibly within a custom CONFIG.SYS and
AUTOEXEC.BAT and having the drivers loaded and eating up memory prior to
running DOOM, should I just do a full boot and then reboot to the DOOM
configuration without having the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT load the
sound blaster drivers? It looks like the settings get wiped out off the
card between soft reboots.
If anyone would care to explain what all these drivers do, I'd
appreciate it. The Sound Blaster 16 book doesn't mention the ones with
an asterisk by them.
CONFIG.SYS
==========
* CTSB16.SYS -- (REQUIRES 26K of RAM!)
* CTMMSYS.SYS -- (REQUIRES 10K of RAM!)
SBCD.SYS -- device driver for CD-ROM (REQUIRES 11K of RAM!)
AUTOEXEC.BAT
============
DIAGNOSE.EXE -- sets hardware configuration based on BLASTER
environment variable. (LOADS AND EXITS!)
SB16SET.EXE -- Used set the voice, master, CD-audio, and MIDI music
settings either interactively or passively via the
STMIX.CFG file. (LOADS AND EXITS!)
MSCDEX.EXE -- Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions program (REQUIRES 45K of
RAM!)
After I get my normal boot down, with DOSKEY, MOUSE, SMARTDRV, PRINT,
and RAMDRIVE loaded, and for a full boot to use all the multi-media
capabilities, I usually have only 516K (was 494K before I optimized my
CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT after installing the CD-ROM.)
Just the bar minimum when playing DOOM, if I load the Sound Blaster
software to set the board up and leave it resident before playing DOOM
requires:
26K CTSB16.SYS
10K CTMMSYS.SYS
and then having to run:
DIAGNOSE and SB16SET to set the settings. The two device drivers above

Subj: CD games with SB16 Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
I have noticed many messages with problems of CD games in conjunction
with an SB16 of which there are many models. My own is the SB16 MCD
without a volume control and having spent a great deal of time in
finding the optimum settings for my own CD games, thought the following
information might prove useful to other users.
The games below were much better when the SB16 was configured as SB Pro,
with the indicated installation selections.
KQ5 KQ6
Sound - AdLib Music - AdLib
Speech - CMS Sound Blaster Audio - Thunderboard
CARMEN 7th GUEST
Music - SB Pro Music - SB Pro2
Audio - SB Pro Audio - SB Pro2
The following two were fine in normal SB16 mode as follows:-
RTZ MYST
Music - Sound Blaster (map:g) Music - SB16 (All, Basic or Ext FM)
Audio - Sound Blaster Audio - SB16
The above produced the most balanced sounds and no lockups. KQ6 and RTZ
did produce screen lockups with other selections. MYST was the only
game which worked flawlessly with any midimap selection. I personally
have automated the switching process with the following batch files:-
SBPRO.BAT
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h6 p330 t6
set sound=e:\sbpro
e:\sbpro\sbp-set /m:15 /voc:15 /cd:15 /fm:12 /line:15
SB16.BAT
set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h6 p330 t6
set sound=c:\sb16
set midi=synth:1 map:g
c:\sb16\diagnose /s
c:\sb16\mixerset /p /q
Normal boot is in SB16 mode and if CD game requires a switch simply call
the SBPRO.BAT and on exit restore with a call to the SB16.BAT. In SB
Pro mode found it necessary to reduce the music volume and in SB16 mode,
suggest you modify your default map:e to map:g

Hello, Lee
This is the test for my first time using the military E-mail, and I hope
it is going well. I am going back to Taiwan for Chinese New Year with my
husband and one Japanese man, we call him "Pa-Pa", a very nice person like you.
Do you need anything from home? I can bring it back to Japan and give it to
you by the end of May when we go back to Seattle. Our next duty station is in
Bremerton - I hope I spell it right. It is in the other side of Seattle, need
to take Ferry, I think or maybe drive highway. I will figure out. My life is
very busy and exciting, how about yours? By the way, Do you
think I will be able to use SPU or UW library from this system? I really hope
I can get into the library in the states, because the "library" here is so

Well, sometimes I get upset because I can not help the teachers here in our
buildings for more resources. Did you hear about earthquack here
in Japan? Today is the Fourth day after that and they found out more than 4000
people died already. God, We are lucky so far, hope there is no one before we
leave Japan. Please have a nice year and congratulations about your new job.
Write to me soon. Happy Always.

As for my experience, I know that it seemed to work
better running the MAC files .mov (which is the Mac equalivant of like and
.avi or MPEG)
Also, keep in mind that if you are running the vid card in high color numbers,
it will slow down the drive/picture.
Instead of using the 16 m colors mode on my vid card I tend to use the
65k colors instead.

What SCSI BIOS message do you get when your computer is booting ?
ie does the card recognise or see the drive. You may have to try
different addresses for the SCSI card.
Future Domain has a 8 bit & 16 bit MCD controller package that
comes with POWER SCSI (drivers for everything). They work with
the 602X. A local BBS is using this setup. The 850MCD (8bit) is
only $can 60.
Good luck.

Most current IDE and EIDE cards can be set up as a "secondary" controller
- and the Mitsumi drivers have a command line "switch" that will let you
specify the port address. I've not tried to actually set one up that way,
though....

samplers are CD quality, they sound as good or better than any other

Charles,
Mr. Ortman seems to be in the habit of accepting orders, and then
keeping his customers' money while not shipping any product. I've seen
complaints from many individuals, similar in content to yours. I would
recommend filing a complaint with the Attorney General in his state...

Simply request a consumer fraud complaint form, fill it out and return

Cream of the Crop 6 is currently THE MOST up-to-date shareware
cd rom disc available with an average file date of 11-1-94.
Pier 6 is in second place with an average file date of 10-31-94.
Cream 5 is in third place with an average file date of 8-10-94.

Comparison of BBS support:
There isn't any comparison... there is a utility included with
Cream 6 that will format the file descriptions to satisfy ANY
BBS requirement! AND if you run Maximus, ProBoard, Spitfire,
RA, QBBS, TBBS, RBBS or TAG there are specific utilities that
can ABSOLUTELY set up your bbs faster than a caller can dial
your bbs and start a download! If you run any of these boards
you can TOTALLY set up Cream 6 within 28 seconds from the time
you inset the cd in your drive. This includes configuring your
bbs file database to include the path to the files on the cd,
the path to the descriptions, the description of the categories
and in most cases the security level a caller must have in order
to gain access to the files. This 28 seconds ALSO includes the
reformatting of multi-line descriptions to satisfy the specific
format (including control characters) required by the bbs.
There is NO other cd that has such extensive bbs support - NOT
even close!

Heath I run the same drive with an SB16 MCD edition and it works just
fine. If your 3 pin audio connector is plugged in such that it is
closer to the port out connectors and you still get no sound then
suspect you have an older card where Creative tried to set their own
standard and you will have to switch the pins in your audio connector.
There have been many messages as to which pins need to be changed and if
you cannot find it suggest you ask Brice Fleckenstein who seems to be
quite knowledgeable on technical matters.

Mitsumi CD-ROM drive I purchased from CCI developed an odd intermittent

Having shipped the drive to you last Monday, I was prepared to wait at
least two weeks for repair or replacement.
Imagine my surprise on finding the replacement drive waiting for me
Friday after work! You got the first one and shipped me the replacement
the same day! Needless to say, this one works perfectly.
Next time I need something computer-related, I'll be sure to call you
first.
Thanks again!

If you been reading Computer Shopper Testing you probably also read
where it says, (It all depends on what you use the CD-Rom for).
If your using it for Transferring alot of files back and forth then
the extra Kbyte/sec increase will be a plus.
If your buying it in hopes that your Multimedia Videos are going to
run twice as fast as a 2x speed you can forget that idea.
Only reason I bought a Quad Speed Pioneer 604x is because I run a
Bulletin Board and the extra kbyte/sec will help me. Otherwise Id
still be using my Nec 3x speed for multimedia apps.

You might want to consider getting a Future Domain SCSI controller with
its own built in Bios. I have one for my Pioneer 604x and it works great.
Dont have to worry about your regular Bios, the Future Domain takes care
of everything. It costs more, but Like they say. You get what you pay for.

I am resending this message to tell ya that I finally figured it out.
Pick up the old skull to the right of the venus fly trap. Go into your
inventory screen and click on the rope and then the skull. You just made
a grappling hook.Exit your inventory screen while holding the grappling
hook. Left click your mouse at the limb just up and left of the venus
fly trap. Bingo! Lot's o' luck...

Because dust gets pulled into the drive by the box's fan. Eventually
the laser is covered with dust. That's why alot of drives have laser

Langston, I have got 602x and 600a chained together on an Always IN-2000 along
with 2 NEC83's and 2 HD's no problem.
Here is the way to do the chaining, looking at the 602x from the front put the
chain cable on left connector, the other end on left side of 600 then the cable
going to the card on right side of 600. If you have terninators in 600
unterminate the 602 and make sure you have different IO on each device.
I hope this helps but if you need further assistance you can netmail me or send
e-mail through internet..

Just purchased a couple of these drives. Install is a snap, they work great,
full motion video is smooth. Would highly recommend.

JD> KN< AZ> Can anyone more technical than myself elaborate on this?
OK, from what I can see adjusting color of the laser beam will not give
billions of times more data than what we have now, instead, a different color
laser will have much shorter wavelength (currently red laser is used in the
CD-ROM drive, whish has longest wavelength in the spectrum), with a shorter
wavelength, more data will be able to recorded into same amount of space
because each track on the CD will be much narrower (I still don't think it will
be billion of times narrower, since it you reduce the wavelength too much, you
get X-ray or Gammar ray which are highly radioactive, and literally hazardous
to your health), a CD will be about 3-4 times bigger in capacity if blue laser
is used in a drive, but we are still having problems getting drives to use blue
lights and recieve the feedback correct through a simle and cheap mechanism (by
we I mean human), so there is still work to be done on that matter.

The load pins on the connector come out real easy when a pin is pushed into the
side where the metal lock shows. just a little push and a little pull on the
wire and the connectors pop out. Flip them and your off and running.

Thanks, I did find the problem. I have trouble printing with my Epson
mx100. It does great in Dos and it does great in draft mode in windows,
but if I print letter quality in windows it does fine until after 10 or
12 lines. Then it acts as if the print head shifts and the words come
out blurred. It will do this for 5 or so words and then prints fine
again. Well I called Epson and they told me to install the FX80 driver
and try that. I did and it did not work. I changed back to the MX100
driver, but I forgot to make it my default and that is why I could not
print the CIE. It is working now for the encyclopedia, but I still have
the problem with letter quality. Any ideas? I did load the latest driver
from MicroSoft. Thanks for the help. Dan

Congrats on fixing yourself. You're a man after my own heart. Many
times I have fixed items that most people would discard or pay a high cost to
get fixed. Here's a tip I picked-up in a do-it yourself help book. My times
just by take an item apart and re-assembling it will begin to work. Why?
Who knows and who cares. :)

Bob,
Interesting story. When all else fails no harm in trying it yourself.
After all it's already broken, what more harm can you do?
I never rely on factory warranty when purchasing any item, although ZOOM
came through on one of their modems. The biggest joke in the computer
industry is the "selling" point of on-site service. This is the biggest
farce I've ever seen. On-site means at their discretion and at their site.
I think this term should be outlawed. They can't possibly live up to the
claim. It's economicly impossible. At best only large industrial users get
any advantage from on-site warranty. I understand GATEWAY is especially poor
at this. Story goes that they even refused an industrial user on-site
service!

Actually, an article in COMPUTER LIFE, which was printed just prior
to Christmas of this year, did a review on CD ROM systems. They said
that because CD software has been designed for the 2X, there is minimal
improvement between the 2X and a 4X. Take it or leave it.

If you recall, I sent a note to you when I saw that you hadn't received

and I'm willing to bet you haven't either! After I left a message to him
threatening to call Visa, he called back and left a message apologizing for
his lack of communication and he said they were temproarily out and it had
just been shipped out. Well.....it's been over a week and a half, and I
know UPS isn't THAT slow! Sounds like he's buying time to me.
I called Visa and I have to send a letter to them disputing the charge. If
you are still having problems with him, or if you actually RECEIVED your
CD-Rom drives, let me know by replying to this or contacting me at the
number below. I may contact a lawyer depending on what happens with the
dispute through Visa.

Mike Greshake advertised in this echo late December - early January.
Anyone who tried to purchase from Mike, I feel sorry for!!
I made an order through Mike and had it put on my Visa. A couple of weeks
later when I had not received my order, I tried to contact him. After
leaving messages and not getting answers, I finally left a message stating
that I was going to call Visa.
Soon after this, he called me and left a message that the item was just out
of stock for awhile and that he had just shipped it out before he got my
message. Almost two weeks later, I am forced to do this. I now am going
through the pain of disputing the charge through Visa(Not a lot of fun I
must say). I am just hoping Visa can get him before he buggs out. I know
that I saw another message in this echo from another individual trying to
find out where his CD-Rom drives he ordered were. I have contacted this
person directly through this echo.
If anyone has any information or if you have been had also, please contact
me by replying to this message or contact me directly. Legal action may be
pursued.
Mike used the company name of "Carlco" and is located(supposedly) in
Jacksonville Florida.(Strange that he said it may take a while to ship it
to me because it was coming from the WEST COAST??) I will gladly accept
any information from anyone living in that area that knows ANYTHING!

After the many problems I have had with the CD-Rom drive order I made
through you, I am repeating the message I left you on the phone.
It seems that you are simply dragging your feet in an attempt to get you
money and run.
I have contacted Visa via letter and I'm sure they will be contacting you
concerning my dispute of the charge. It would be in your best interest to
just credit the charge back to my account and make it easy on me and Visa.
It seemed strange to me in the first place that in the "ad" you posted you
said "UPS GROUND MAY TAKE 5-7 DAYS TO WEST COAST..", but you told me when I
ordered that it was being shipped FROM the west coast. Sounds like a good
way to stall for time to me!
If Visa cannot solve the problem, I will contact a lawyer. I have posted
messages in this echo concerning this and, if necessary, a class action
suit will be filed. I already know of one individual who was having
problems getting what he ordered. We'll see how many respond.

Brice,
I see what you are saying. The other day, at work, where we have four
cd disc's which list the parts we have for sale, a technical guy came
and serviced the cd driver. He left a bottle of cleaning solution for
the cd disc's. He didn't run a head cleaner. So maybe if one keeps
their disc's cleaned. It might keep the heads from getting dirty.
Thanks for you reply. I only call once or twice a week, and this is
the soonest I could reply to your post.

I am a beginning Adventure Game player and I am "not" familiar with
the basic move in game playing. I am sort of in need of some advice.
Though I am not seeking answers I was wondering if someone might give
me some "hints" or directions in King's Quest 6.
I am in the beginning of the game. I have the Prince's ring and The coin
from the box which was under the plank on the beach.
I have the book the store keeper gave me. I also found some love
poems in a book and have a few of the book's pages.
I went to all of the screens, visited the Castle, and went inside of
it. Told not to come back.
I have been to the house where the girls runs inside. Also to the
docked boat and had the door slammed on me by some rude dude.
I have tried giving everything I have to everyone who will talk to me.
But I can't seem to do any good..
Any one have any directions for me?
I think I would preper hints, or areas to look deeper in. Not the
exact moves as such. I understand the game is designed to be one of
problem solving, and I would like to attempt to figure it out. But if
one gets frustrated to the point of turning it off. Well one may need
just a slight hint or two..
Thanks..

5 slots away would definitely rule out the between card's inteference. As I
said what made the problem so hard to find was that disconnecting either the
CD's power or ribbon cable made the problem compare/restore problem go away.
Apparently it didn't send whatever was causing the problem to the SB
(compatible) card. Also the FC-20 may be more sensitive??
Formating is another problem altogether. I had a unit that couldn't format
because it couldn't find the end of tape (there's a tiny hole in the tape).
This was even with the CD disconnected. New unit solved that problem but NOT
the RESTORE/Compare problem which was finally solved by moving the FC-20.....

Larry,
I wouldn't worry too much about the sound interface, its the drive interface
that is important. If the Plextor will use the SB interface then go for it.
Audio cables come in serveral different designs. I have one right here on the
shelf that has a choice of three different connectors on the sound card side.
If what comes with the hardware won't work, go get yourself a 'universal'
audio cable.

The cost to transfer data to a CD is variable. Obviously the less info
you put on a CD...the more it theoretically costs per mg. i.e. if you only
put 40mgs to a 600mg CD, you are basically wasting your money, IMHO.
As for having a 40mg CD....don't think so. Most CD-R discs are either
63 minutes (550mg) or 74 minutes (>600mgs)..

True...but dust can still get in there. I generally use a can of compressed
air to kinda spray around in there to keep dust out. But be careful of those
compressed air cans....sometimes they spit out moisture....so spray it onto a

First of all 562 doesn't tell me the brand...sorry..I'm ignorant there.
What exactly is your problem with the SB16 Value Edition? Does the ROM drive
cables fit the card? Given the hardware is compatible and all cables fit with
each other between the card and the ROM drive....what are your settings ie
IRQ's, DMA's?
After getting that info...some of us will be able to offer some better advice.

The 'only' way that loadhigh will work is if you do not use Ramboost.
When you activate Ramboost, which is a memory manager, it will strip off
any loadhigh or lh that you use, and load stuff into memory the way 'it'

Hello All.
I was wondering if there is a CD Rom disc that has LOTS of
information about old songs, old musicians, old lyrics....Trivia
about musical groups etc etc. Like an almanac...born when/where
died when where and how.
Seems none of the popular encyclopedias measure up to the data
base of information that I am looking for. However I figure
there is bound to be something that will fit my needs. Example,
my son and I were looking for information about a particular
artist. Needed to know he was a member of a previous group and
his previous hit songs. No such luck.
Example, a year by year listing of the Top 100 hits in each
musical category of Rock Country Jazz etc etc. WAV files of
some of the songs, pictures of some of the musicians would be
fantastic.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Peter, your setup for SB16 could be out, ok for dos, goto the directory
\SB16 and run the sbsetup.exe file, and adjust your volume control to give
more output(volume), you will also notiice other adjustments for you cd
and output channels,these can be adjusted too.
Windows is simple to do, goto your sb16 folder in windows,this should
have been installed into windows when you dropped in the card software,
and run the Creative Mixer(this does the sound adjustments for windows
not the Wave program).
Creative Mixer will have a display with 6 adjustments, the 1st adjuster( a
black triangle laying sideways) is the main volume control,move the slider
up to almost maximum, the one with a circle(looks like a cd) is for the
adjusting a music cd.
If you still have trouble with Doom,adjust the volume in doom,start the game a
hit the F1 key,this will tell you where the volume and sound fx control is,
just adjust it,and it will save the settings when you leave the game.
If non of the above work, the you probably have a bodgey speakers, I have]
non adjustable speakers and they are quite load enough.
Take care.

Hi Joel
Thanx for the tip, as I said "even after using QEMM "Optimize" and
"Stealth" ... anyway I found that the problem was that that was simply
not enough room to load this driver high :-(
But wait! there's the "/E" switch.
If others have the same problem as I've had and you run out of high
memory you can force MSCDEX.EXE to use extended memory instead of
conventional memory by adding a switch in your AUTOEXEC.BAT
E.G. C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /E /M:10
^^
These are the 2 characters
that do it.
Try tailoring it to suit your own system, I saved 35K of precious
conventional memory.

I doubt it! Most CDs are formatted (or whatever is done to a CD) to the
size needed, so CDs can vary in their total size. I have Encarta '95 which
is fairly big (over 650M) and can read it fine. If you check the manual it
says "540MBytes typical" so they are using 540M as an average.

You have to seek out each of the sound origins (pool, crevice,

monitor and controls (two arrows, one left, one right), move the shot on
the monitor to the corresponding sounds (you have to precise), and

Hello VAUGHN!
I don't know what has happened either. I have finally gotten my cds from Terry
Ortman. I had ordered 2 CDs in November, almost the same time as I sent you the
money for the CD. The reason it took so long for me to get them was, as I
understand it, that they were in backorder with his company.
If you feel safe about it it would perhaps be a good idea to send it COD. But
please state on the packet that it is a gift. Otherwise I'll have to pay tax
for it and naturally I would like to avoid it.

I would very much like to stay in touch with you, also after this deal is
closed, I too like to write with people far away and find it very interesting
to hear about their way of living and daily routines.
My newyears eve went very well. We weren't a lot of people, but we had lots of
fun just the same. The only problem was that I had to get up very early next
morning, but still didn't go to bed before 0345 am. I wasn't drunk, but I was
tired as a 90 year old......
I'm looking forward to hear from you Vaughn. Until then, take care.

Sorry to hear you've been through Hell trying to play the game. I think
I may have sent you some tips. You sound pretty desperate so here
goes... Password for Massimo Eddy is TRIANGLE.
The second password is given to you in the game when you have talked to
enough people or been to enough places to have all the latin phrases.
It will be given to you by the professor at the Gnostic's. Having it before
then probably won't allow you to progress through the game any faster.
But, I won't ignore your plea. The 2nd password for the Night of
Re-entombment is GESTICULATE. The professor will explain how he got it
from the latin phrases.
Unfortunately the game won't be getting any easier now that
you have these passwords. Things get tougher when you actually get to
HELL in the game. Try to enjoy the mental torture of the game. In the
mean time....
GONE TO HELL

I think they call where you are at the Selenic Age, but I'm not

Go to the viewer you mentioned and use it to tune-in to each location
exactly. You will know you have a location tuned when the arrows quit
blinking. When you have all of them tuned, hit the sigma key (the greek
symbol key below) and listen to the ORDER that the SOUNDS are played in.
Then go back to the building and make adjustments to the sliders.
You won't be returning via the spaceship. There are other means to visit the
other ages. I think I've given you enough to get you unstuck. Write back if
you need more details.

The audio CD's use the cable. The other game CD's access the soundcard
directly. Sounds like a cable problem to me.
Remove the cable and see if the same CD's that worked before, still work.
If so, it's definitely the cable, connection, or cable orientation.

I think I have to agree with you, the puzzles in Myst are far too easy. I also
solved the game in about thirty hours playing time. Once you get the feeling
for the operation of the game the rest is easy. I also have to agree that the
graphics are spectacular, but I didn't buy the game for that. If I want nice
pictures I'll get a photo-CD. I was also very much dissapointed with the books
(the red and blue books). You have to listen through several minutes of
noise if you want to know what they're saying, irritating!

I you finished the game you should know what's mentioned in the letter. Where
did you find the last page (you did find the white page I hope!!).
Good luck,

There is a button on the lower portion of the wall on each landing. I
can't see it on my monitor because it's too dark. Yours is probably the
same. Go down to the door of one of the rooms. Turn around and go back
up till you are one frame below the landing. Press on the lower third
of the side wall of the landing ( the side that is most prominent )
until it opens. On a dark monitor it's a trial and error process.
Sorry.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
RE: Mitsumi FX400 Quad ATAPI CD, need Sound Card and Interface
i just purchased a Mitsumi 4X ATA IDE Internal from CDW and was sent a SB 16
MCD Soundcard. Two days of hair pulling and 2 phone calls later I found
SoundBlaster didn't make a card (yet) that would act as interface for the IDE
and support sound for this drive. (on the same card)
Does anyone have a 4X Mitsumi and working IDE interface and sound card? Who
makes it? Any / All help is appreciated. I've got it plugged into my 32 bit
VLB IDE controller and have gotten Dos to 'recogonize' it as a drive but would
like to see the sucker work; if not...back to CDW it goes.
I'm looking for a Sound Card with an IDE interface onboard. Anyone know of
such an animal?
I called Mitsumi tech. support and was told to call "Aurora" for a sound/IDE
interface but the Oriental gentleman there only seemed to know enough English
to say, "Yes it support Mitsumi FX400; yes it drive it too, how many you want,
only $75 each." ...just a tad to vague for me...
Can anyone help me or give me some information? ...it'd be appreciated!...

I ordered a VIS system from this company, and they seem to have good
service. And there prices are very competitive. But they did ship my
order other than I specified resulting in an extra $14. So I would
advise that if you deal with them, get the shipping costs straight
first.

ME>Purchasing. If you have any in put leave me some personal mail. Thanx.
I've had for it a couple of weeks, and I really like it. I've also
played Myst. It is different than Myst. Killing Moon is more of an
interactive detective movie, where the things you do and say determine
the eventual outcome. You play the part of Tex Murphy the Private
Investigator. You must find clues, solve "puzzles" to solve the crimes.
It's a lot of fun... I'd recommend it. Have you tried Myst or 7th
Guest? I'm wondering whether I should get 7th Guest. I've heard very
good things about it.
One thing about Killing Moon. Pay attention to the hardware
requirements on the box. You almost HAVE to have at least a 486/DX2-66
and a 1meg VLB video card to really make it work right. That's what I
have, and I couldn't imagine trying to play it on much less of a
machine.

I believe you have some concepts crossed. A blue laser is being/has
been developed that will allow much smaller 'holes' to be burned into
the disk and still be able to be sensed (read), thus allowing a higher
recording density (bits per millimeter) because the 'holes' can be
closer together. I believe the current CDs use red lasers.
The concept you have confused has to do with transmission of data via
fiber optic links. With lasers of several different colors, the
capacity of a given fiber can be increased since you can have many
separate high capacity channels on one fiber. One channel could be
transmitted by a blue laser, one by a red laser, and another by a green
laser, for example. Each could be a 45 mb T-3 channel where only one
could have been transmitted before.

Reveal CD-ROMS (which are Panasonic drives with another name on the

MD> Can you tell me if there is much of a difference between the IDE and
MD> EIDE CD ROM?
I'm not sure whether you are asking about the TEAC in particular or about
all drives in general. I'm in the process of buying a quad drive so I've
been researching them for the past month or so. I'm no expert so don't
quote me on any of this, but here is what I understand.
In general terms, most drives of the same class have similar performance
specifications for access time and throughput. But, there is a whole host
of other components that affect the performance of a drive in real life.
One of those components is the interface. <I'm also in the throws of
upgrading my system so I'll give you the benefit of what I've learned about
controller interfaces> There is a movement away from IDE to other controller
interfaces such as EIDE, or ATAPI IDE <same thing as EIDE> (and EIDE
requires a VLB motherboard). This is primarily because of performance.
There is an overall performance improvement with the EIDE/VLB combination
over the IDE. In short, you are likely to get better perfomance from your
CD-ROM drive if your controller and drive are EIDE. There are other
components that can make a difference in the overall performance of your
drive ... like the speed of your CPU, the amount of cache on the CD-ROM
drive and even the quality and amount of memory on your video card.
In specific terms, with respect to the TEAC drives, the IDE drive is rated
at 195ms access and 600Kb/s throughput. In reviews I've read the CD55A
outperforms the Mitsumi quad. The EIDE drive from TEAC due out in late
February is rated at 163ms access and 600Kb/s throughput. I was going to
wait for this one but I've decided to go a different route altogether.
I've read a couple of reviews that have placed the Toshiba TXM3501 and the
Plextor 4Plex at the top in terms of performance. Interestingly enough both
of these drives use a SCSI interface. I've decided to pickup the Toshiba
and a Sound Blaster 16 SCSI-II/ASP sound card. I'm in the market for a new
sound card so this one kills two birds with one stone ... built in SCSI
interface and a sound card. The nice thing about the SCSI interface is that
I'll be able to chain 6 other SCSI devices of the same interface. Where I'm
buying the Toshiba from it's only about $100 more that the TEAC CD55A.
Hope I haven't confused you too much. Give a shout if you want any more
opinions. By the way, if you want spec sheets from TEAC on their drives try
their FAXBACK line at 213-727-7629. If you want to checkout the specs and
cost on the quad speeds that are due out in 1995 pickup a copy of
ebruary's Multimedia World magazine. There is a head-to-head test and
review of 4 quads (from NEC, Pioneer, Plextor, Toshiba) and a comparison
(chart form) of 37 quads available, or soon to be available.

DR> Matt, with the higher throughput, games and video clips will play

Pickup a coy of February's Multimedia World (there's a couple of reviews
of CD-ROM quads) and you may be convinced .... "quad speed drives offer
meaningful advantages over their double and single speed predecessors: Video
clips play much more smoothly. Synchronization of sound and video is more
precise. Software installation is faster. Games are more responsive. And
image, sound, and video files all load much more quickly."
"And as for the double-speed drive and all its kin: it's been nice
knowing you."
For dictionaries and library "stuff" you could probably live with a double
speed but for the games that will begin to emerge designed to take advantage
of the higher performance drives you may become quickly frustrated with
a double speed. I think CD-ROMs are at a turning point ... double speeds
will fade into the background over the next year (in fact I read that some
manufacturers no longer make the double speeds, they are concentrating on
quads!). "But quad speed drives really shine with data-intensive software,
such as graphics-heavy games. The technology will nudge developers to
produce titles containing live action video, running at 30 frames per second
(clips optimized for double speeds average 15fps)."
Hope this helps.

I would guess it's for discussion concerning various technical and

the proper location for advertising the sales of CDROMs. I do agree,
however that discussion of new releases is a great topic here. If I

The end of tape hole is not the problem for it would not write nor
restore successfully if it could not find the end/beginning of the
tape. Format problems with a 15,000 ftpi tape is either a tape problem
or a drive problem. I don't think it can be a tape problem because a
degaussed ( for identical testing purposes ) brand new tape that will
not format at all with CMS software formats up to 110 mb with Norton
Backup. That same tape then degaussed again and popped into another
drive formats with CMS tape.exe AND formats up to 120mb with Norton
Backup.

MH> Can anyone recommend any good cd-rom games or useful programs that
MH> would be worth buying?
Matt,
It would depend on what type of programs and or games you enjoy.
There is arcade games, shoot 'em ups, and then there are adventure
ones, where you have to figure out clues to puzzles.
There is a large collection of games by Sierra, which I find to be
interesting to play.
There is DOOM and DOOM II which are pure action, with out any puzzles,
other then finding some of the secret rooms, which aren't necessary to
win the game.
I enjoy the Leisure Suit Larry games (Sierra) which are adult games.
Then there is Myst, King Quest 6, There is Elders of The Scroll, which
is an adventure game.
I don't know what you mean by program cd's. But I collect the
Shareware Cd's. They contain thousands of Shareware programs, which I
enjoy spending hours of time, in just putting some on my hard drive
and fooling with them. Each of them have hundreds of games on them
also.
But it always boils down to what you prefer to spend your time with.
I also have cd's of just books. I enjoy reading, I have one disk
which has 207 books of history on it. All of the books are over
sixhundred pages long, and by different authors. If I search out
information on a particular subject, the interface program, searches
through all of the books and pulls out the chapters which relate to my
search word, or subject. I spend hours just reading in it.
Let us know what subjects you enjoy, and we will see what we can come
up with.
Also, there are many users here who sell cd's and if you put your
subject choice here and ask for prices on disc's which relate to that
subject, then sellers here will reply to you, they will tell you what
they have and how much their disc's cost.
I have bought many cd disc's from this echo. And at very good prices
too.

516k is way too low! Do you run a memory manager? You should be able
to get much more conventional RAM than what you are.
As for you sound problem, it sounds to me your best option would be to
create a boot disk just for certain games.
You need to run your complete config.sys and Autoexec.bat files here
so we can see them.
As for by passing these files when you boot up. It isn't necessary
for you to have the sound card configs in your boot up. The games
should be able to pick the cards up themselves.
You might go into the setup in DOOM an try different settings there.
I have used settings other than the soundblaster ones, even though I
had the soundblaster card installed in my system. And came out with
better sound than when I used just the soundblaster ones. Don't ask
me why they worked, but they did.
I would like to see your boot up files. Could you post them?
This 516 kbytes of RAM memory is just too low. You should be able to
get much more than that.

Mike, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had no problems running it on my
system: 486slc2-66 8meg 2x CD-rom ISA video. Graphics were great. Both
myself and the wife played this one together. Couple of tough spots,
but the on board hint system can really help out if you get in a bind.
I'm selling my copy if you're interested $40 shipped, prepaid. Or if

Hi, Bob! sounds like you need to "spot some loonies". Then look for the top of

You should be on your way. Also later spot some more for clues.

The only one I've seen that comes close to what you're looking for is the
Allmusic Guide. I think a new one should be in the works right now because
the dates that I have on the biographies are Jan 94.
Information that is contained is: Album Titles & Year released, Artist
Biography (some are lacking here though), Album Tracks & Sidemen (details are
sporadic).
I think that's it. If you have access to InterNet Gopher you can check it out
at allmusic.ferris.edu.

Smartdrv will cache a cdrom but mscdex has to precede the smartdrv statement
in your autoexec.bat file. By default it will ID and cache the rom drive.

It all depends... a double speed is just fine for everything NOW. But,
for future programs that are higher intensity, well, it might be nice to
be a step ahead. Now, for your everyday CD-RoM program, it is nice to
have the extra speed so you don't have to wait around for graphics to
load. If your interested in games like The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour,
I would recommedn at least a 3x because of the intensity...

The /M Parameter Allows MSCDEX To Allocate It Buffers To EMS If it's
Available. Instead Of Using Base Memory.
And It Has Nothing To Do With The Speed of Your CD-Rom.

Here's what I want you to tell me then, before I buy my drive. What I
want to use it for is multimedia (Encarta etc.) and games, games, games.
I want to do Myst, 7th Guest, Wing Commander 3, etc. Is the Plextor 4x
worth the extra money then, over say the NEC 3x? I'd really like to get
some answers on this before I plunk down 400 bucks that I might later
regret. Any advice you can give me is appreciated.

Belive me you arn't the only one that deleted the autoexec.bat. Remember you
don't need to delete the files to reinstall them unless they are corrupted. It
sounds like you need to reinstall the cdrom driver or check the settings. and
the same with the sound card. Look for a backup of the autoexec.bat file like
autoexec.bak sys or somthing like that and you cad use it to see what your
settings were.

Sounds like you need to NOT load your ANSI driver before windows. For some
reason ANSI messes up the QuickTime driver, and you won't be able to see the
quicktime animation of the numbers changing when you pull the lever.

I have sold over 100 of these drives and install should not be anywhere that
hard, only two things you need to know, the jumper settings on your HD and the
CD-ROM, the HD NEEDS to be set to a ONE DRIVE SYSTEM (Neutral) NOT Master,
and NOT slave. The CD-ROM needs to be set to SLAVE. then install the driver
and it will see it then. BTW Turn the bios to no drive if you are using the
computers bios to run the drive. And make the CD_ROM the second in the chain
from the HD to make it faster.
If you need anymore help give me a call and I will hook you up.

Hi All!

QEMM for the last 3 years.
Q: Will I still be able to use Q'deck's Qemm & Optimize with my CDROM setup in

Dos's LOADHIGH for 'Upper Memory access.'

But I have heard of changing the focus range. This would allow you to have two
to five different 660MB cd roms on one disk. All you do is focus on the one you
want, and read that one. Newer drives would need a focus level command, and the
increased focus range. Convential drives would always focus on and read the
bottom layer.

In the book of Zanthia you cab see a formula to make a potion. It's green when
it's ready. With this potion (make sure you have a bottle for it) you can go to
the mouse in the cave. The potion scares him away. You see how. In the cave you
found something to make old out of lead. Use this on the anchor of the
fisherman. The fireflies in the tree gives you the melody you need to open the
skull in the cave. Don't forget the melody, you need him later again in the
game. I hope you can use this tips. I don't wanna tell to much.

Good luck on level 30. I don't think it can be won without cheating, and is
damn tough even in God-mode. Maybe because I cheated, but upon FINALLY getting
three rockets into the Icon's brain, he exploded and then I was told
congratulations and I deserved a much needed rest. Then a parade (one at a

button on the keyboard. I never could get to level 31 or 32.
I don't remember level 20 being especially hard...but then I was prone to a

Appears that the Philips is good in price, but, as you said, we need to

This will be my personal second money source, since I need to add some

You said about somebody that supply to you blank disks for less than

Lee,
Yup....here's the way I run 3 cdrom drives
My config.sys cd rom settings
DEVICE=C:\CDROM\SONY_CDU.SYS /D:MSCD001 /U:1 /B:340 /M:P /Q:* /T:*
DEVICE=C:\CDROM1\CDROM.SYS /D:CDROM01 /M:16 /P:310,1

My MSCDEX line in the autoexec.bat
c:\dos\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:40 /D:CDROM01 /M:40 /D:MSCD002 /M:08 /E
Now mind you that I have separate HEX/IRQ addresses for the 2 & 3 drives
the 1st one just uses software irq's (mainly cause I don't got card
settings for the sony 510 1x drive).
I run all 3 drives on one pc under Qemm (memory manager) and Lantastic
(network software) and Windows (psuedo 32 bit OS).
the IRQ's that you can use are ussally
2, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12 (I think), 15.
I like to run the network card on IRQ 15
IRQ 2 is a cascade IRQ I susally leave that one alone
IRQ 5 is for LPT2 thats if you have a 2nd LPT port if not most sound
blaster's tend to be set at IRQ5 or they wind up there.
10-12 IRQ's are free to use.
Hope this helps....

Read: [N/A] Private: No
you may want to consider a video card with VRAM rather than DRAM as video ram
(*which is much faster than dram*) boosts video performance greatly. ( i can't
say "oh it doubles your video output" but if you have ever seen two IDENTICAL
cards one with vram and one with dram working "side by side" you can see the
difference..
I purchased the DIAMOND VIPER VLB w/ 4mb vram and benchmarked my video at 96
FRAMES PER SECOND.. (30fps is as fast as the eye can see) i can tell you this,
my "screen redraws" in programs such as autocad and 3d studio are about 10
times faster than what i was getting with my old Diamond Speedstar Pro / 24

Hi I have 2 questions related to Myst.
1. On my system I have the following....
486dx/66 (accer model vi12g energy complient system board with 256k
cache)
8 megs RAM
Reveal 2x cdrom drive with SB563.sys v4.0 hex 230
sound blaster pro hex 220 irq 5 dma 1
compex enet/u net card with ndis lantastic drivers hex 300 irq 15
cirrus logic video card (VLB) with 1 mb vram v1.43j drivers at
800x600x256 colors.
colorado jumbo 250 tape drive
promise EIDE 2300+ VLB controller
western digital 1083 MB IDE drive (using full 1 gig partition)
ocmputereyes/rt color video capture board
logitech scanman b/w hand scanner hex 330 irq 11 dma3
when I try to run MYST my system hangs completely if I try to go to a
different area of the game (anywhere that requires a screen
regeneration. I have the latest drivers.
I was using qemm v7.5 but It kept crashing my networked tape backups if
I had the SB environment variable set in the autoexec.bat so I dropped
back to v7.04 and am ok again. Also using Dos v6.22, lantastic v6.0/AI
2. a friend just bought a SB-16 cd discovery kit with a Sony 2x 33a
cdrom drive and all his other cdrom disks read fine but it will not
read his or my copy of MYST at all. I tried adding the /2 parameter
(if memory serves) to the driver to get it to work at all but it
refuses to recognize the cdrom disc MYST....here's the possible kicker.
his system...
Packard Bell 486dx/25
Headland technologies SVGA local bus controller built intoe the system
board running its drivers at 800x600x256 colors (don't have a clue as
to where to get updated drivers => I tried plain old windows
800x600x256 drivers but the screen loses synch and goes balistic)
WD 540 MB IDE drive using Disk managers "dynamic drive overlay v6.03"
to get the full use out of the drive.
8 MB RAM
14.4 modem
sb-16 sound card (i guess default addresses here)
Any ideas as to why our systems are giving us problems. Any help is
appreciated...thanks

Cream of the Crop 6 contains 634 megs of the highest quality
shareware released between Aug 94 and Jan 95.
Cream of the Crop 6 is still THE MOST up-to-date shareware cd
rom disc available with an average file date of 11-1-94.
Pier 6 is in second place with an average file date of 10-31-94
Sapphire (Vault) is in third place with an avg date of 10-26-94
Monster Media 95 is in fourth place with an avg date or 10-21-94
Cream 5 is in fifth place with an average file date of 8-10-94
There is a utility included with Cream 6 that will format the
file descriptions to satisfy ANY BBS requirement! AND if you run
Maximus, ProBoard, Spitfire, RA, QBBS, TBBS, RBBS or TAG there
are specific utilities that can ABSOLUTELY set up your bbs
faster than a caller can dial your bbs and start a download! If
you run any of these boards you can TOTALLY set up Cream 6
within 28 seconds from the time you inset the cd in your drive.
This includes configuring your bbs file database to include the
path to the files on the cd, the path to the descriptions, the
description of the categories and in most cases the security
level a caller must have in order to gain access to the files.
This 28 seconds ALSO includes the reformatting of multi-line
descriptions to satisfy the specific format (including control
characters) required by the bbs. There is NO other cd that has
such extensive bbs support - NOT even close!
Price
Cream 6 -- $18.75 -- Shipping is $1.25 and c.o.d. is $5.

Subj: Photo/Graphics Software Refer: NONE
Read: [N/A] Private: No
Hello, all:
I recently acquired a SoundBlaster Discovery 16 multimedia upgrade kit,
which came bundled with Altamira Composer, a graphics package similar
to Aldus PhotoStyler and Adobe Photoshop. Although the package seems
promising, it loads every image as a muddled grayish color. In other
words, there is some color there, but much of the color scale is
rendered as gray, thus obscuring the image. This only happens with
Composer, not with PhotoStyler or any other graphics software I've
ever used.
Could someone suggest a fix or at least point me to an echo where
the answer might be lurking? I'd sure appreciate it.

Well I have 7th guest and it runs just fine on a Nec 3xi your not
going to have any problems running 7th guest or Wing Commander 3 on
a Quad speed or even a 3 speed. The Plextor is a good drive, currently
the one with the most is the toshiba, but is expensive.
Fact is for what you want to do a 3x speed or 4x speed will work.
As with anything else in the computer market in a year there will be
a faster drive, its almost impossible to keep up with things.
However if you don't already have scsi or a sound blaster in your
computer I can sell you mine which is an nec 3xspeed SCSI-2 and
Sound Blaster SCSI-2, along with 4 caddies, and OS/2 Warp with all
the software, manuals etc for $305.00 shipped. The money you save
on the drive you can buy more cds. Its 450kb and 195ms.
However if you just gotta have a 4xspeed, then the plextor or
toshiba will do nicely.

They may have supplied the wrong audio cable. Check the pin setup of the audio
cable. Check the plug on the CD drive, does it correspond to the same thing on
the sound card? My pansonic drive has reversed pin setup. What I did
was pull or cut the pin out from the plug of the audio cable and plug them in
individually. pin by pin. Don't worry there is only two and this only voids the
warrentry of your audio cable. Hope this helps.

CD-ROM Review: InfoMagic "Usenet"
by John Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
Wheee-Whew! I didn't know they grew 'em that big!
InfoMagic produces CD-ROMs for the UNIX (TM) and LINUX (TM) freaks
among us and for most everyone else. I don't know where these folks
get their energy but I want a share.
626,547,450 bytes (according to dir/s, anyway. That's huge in
anybody's book. It includes a large collection of FAQ (Frequently
Asked Questions) files from the UseNet News, masses of scripts and
source files from those news groups that cater to programmers and/or
system administrators, game sources, and on and on and on. All the
files I looked at viewed easily using DOS' "edit" program or "type
<filename> | more."
This would be the disc for a BBS operator wanting to decide which
newsgroups to subscribe or for the UNIX system administrator looking
for handy items to compile and stash in the usr/bin directory or for
the PC user looking for a lot of reading material.
I won't even try to tell you I looked at everything. (Hey, I have a
life! (I know I do, it's around here somewhere, I think. Isn't it?))
What to do with all that information is left as an exercise for the
user. Compiling and running any of the scripts, etc.? Have a ball,
friend! I didn't even try.
This isn't any pansy, point and click, pushover. It runs straight out
of DOS. You treat it like any other drive. You'll get _real_ familiar
with the "cd\" command. The directory structure, though, is well
laid-out and not at all difficult to use. Things are in logical
groupings and you can find what you want with a little effort. There's
(see number above) bytes here, y'know? There's an index to more or
less help you find your way around the sources files but you are the
search program.
There's a directory of tools for handling UNIX-style files in DOS
called, appropriately enough, DOSTOOLS that allows you to untar,
unshar, UUdecode, and convert files from UNIX format to DOS format for
printing, etc. or just for extracting the compressed ones. I didn't
find any compressed files on this disc, but there might be some. So
it's nice to have the tools at hand.
What do I think of it? Well, there's a lot here, a _big_ lot! It's a
data junkie's dream for 40 bucks, list. Just for fun; take a look at
\sources\misc\volume2\c_puns. It reads fine with DOS' edit program and
it's good for a chuckle or two.
I'm going to try to hang on to this disc for a few weeks and really
delve into it. This CD is so big there's got to be a ton more
interesting stuff hiding among the branches of the directory tree. Who
knows what _ lurks_ in the heart of InfoMagic? I'm willing to bet The
Shadow works for 'em.

CD-ROM Review
Aris Entertainment's Jets & Props
by John P. Husvar
jhusvar@nimitz.mcs.kent.edu
If you like coffee table books, you'll love this CD Set. If you like
such images in readily usable formats, you'll like it even more.
All around, Jets & Props is a mini-air show for the desktop, an
impressive item for airplane fanciers of any age from the budding
aeronautical engineer to the average Joe who occasionally looks up and
wonders what that plane might look like close up.
Jets & Props is a 2-disc collection of 200 airplane photos that, while
it may not knock your socks off, will let you know what the most
common modern (and some not-so-modern) aircraft look like. Jet
aircraft are on one disc, propeller-driven on the other.
The images are good quality, viewable in either 320 X 240 small format
(about 2" X 2" on a 14" monitor) or large format 640 X 480. (about 6"
X 6") There's detail enough for the aficionado and broad overview
enough for the younger set. The kids will probably love the 25
PACO-format movies on each disc.
Using the programs is straight GUI in Windows, point and click. The
command bar is mostly intuitive and includes random access by
thumbnail sketches or search string. while the thumbnails are small,
after just one or two run-throughs, they are clear enough to allow you
to pick out a desired image pretty easily. Switching images in the
large-size display does require clicking the next image and enlarge
buttons in sequence, but it soon becomes second nature.
I would like it better if the "Notes of Interest" were a little more
detailed. The short descriptions provided with each image are barely
adequate to whet the information junkie's appetite. And, after all,
isn't information what the typical CD buyer is after? That's not to
say that there isn't a lot of data on the discs (Pictures and animated
imagery just love memory.) but more textual information would add just
a touch of education to the typical youngster (or even middle-aged
youngster's) fascination with airplanes.
Getting started, I found this set remarkably easy to install and use
in my Windows (tm) environment. If I, who just installed a CD-ROM
drive virtually yesterday, can handle it in 5 minutes, it's dummy
proof! Pop in the disc, log in to your CD-ROM drive, and run SETUP.
Answer a few questions to the effect of, "Where do you want to put the
files?" and let it do its thing. The only change I made to Aris'
preplanned installation was to put the "ARIS" directory under my
"Windows" directory. Drag the icons to a convenient location on your
desktop and you're ready to go. The instructions for MAC and DOS
operation seem equally simple.
Aris also takes care of the chance you might want to do more than just
view the images. They supply all 100 files per disc in 8-bit 320 X 240
and 640 X 480 BMP and PCX formats, 24-bit TIFF for use in high-res
paint programs, and their audio in both WAV and VOC formats. They also
extend on-the-box permission to reproduce up to 20% of the images
sounds or videos royalty-free in print or digital publications so long
as the artists and Aris Entertainment's copyright are duly credited.

st geschafft.
Ich will hier allerdings nochmal die ma▀geblichen Facts posten, damit
jeder was von der Diskussion hat:
Hauptproblem war das Betreiben der Floppies am SCSI-Hostadapter. Die
hΣngen jetzt (incl. Colorado-Streamer) am IDE-Adapter (primΣre Adressen).
Auch das CDROM lΣuft auf primΣrer Adresse (1F0) und dem IRQ 14. Das CDROM-
Laufwerk ist auf Master gejumpert, der ADAPTEC dagegen Floppy-disabled.
Zwar hat das EISA-Konfigurations-BIOS noch kurz gemeckert, wobei es zwar
gemerkt hat, da▀ der Floppy-Jumper gezogen war, sich aber selbstΣndig von
Enhanced-SCSI auf Standard mit IRQ11 umgestellt hat.
Ich mu▀te also noch das EISA-Konfig-Programm laufen lassen und wieder auf
Enhanced umstellen. Dann lief alles ohne Mucken.
Sogar mein Colorado-Tape-Streamer, der am selben Kabel wie die Floppies
hΣngen, wird ordnungsgemΣ▀ angesprochen.
So, das wars i. Wesentlichen.
Nochmals vielen Dank!
Gru▀, Lutz

I couldn't get that either, why did they make the computer so good!
Anywas how do you get to the attic in The 7th Guest... I've gotten all

something???... (hope not!) Help! And yes, both games are great..

Ok, what your supposed to do is open the safe, get the matches, light
the burner (little square box) and turn the gas on.. (green circle
icon)... once you do that you'll here banging and its the big tree at
the back going up.. wait until the banging stops then turn the gas off
(btw the more you turn the gas on, the faster the tree goes up)... the
tree will start to go down, then just get into the `elevator' and go
down...

JF> Does anyone know witch CD is the best cook book cd?
I like ON THE MENU from Pinpoint for entering my own recipes and
calculating nutrition information. No idea of US price, it was about
$65 in Canada. It has the best printing of any cookbook program with
several choices -- large print titles, and bold ingredients for example.
It imports and exports one variation of Meal Master, the most
common recipe format on Fidonet. You can also attach your own pictures
or video clips to a recipe if you have enough other equipment. Pictures
do not print with a recipe.
Better Homes Healthy Cooking has some good pictures and recipes but the
print is VERY small. Doesn't allow any recipes to be added. There was
one in the CD Sale echo earlier this week.
There have been a lot of complaints in the cooking echoes about other
CDs with large DOS text collections of recipes. Some still have the
original echo information, many duplicates and spelling mistakes plus
old versions of shareware recipe programs.

I knew it!! After I shut off the game the other night and was laying
in the bed thinking about it. It came to me.. I had not really
examined the pawn shop.. I did pretty good in the Book store. That
old fellow in there who won't talk to me, had me confused. I kept
thinking there has to be something to get that fellow to talk..
I plum forgot about that pawn shop. I went in there, and just poked
around a little.
Yes that fellow at the boat is real unfriendly.. I knocked on his
door and he spoke a few lines and slammed the door. He made me mad
and I just eased away from there.
I keep thinking that girl in the yard, whose stepmother screams at, is
a problem also. I keep figuring, I can do something there. I sort of
thought if I could find a flower, since her stepmother said she
shouldn't fool with them, that might be a way to get her to talk some.
But then if I am struck on this Princess then maybe I shouldn't give
the other girl any flower... it could lead to a problem. :-) but I
can't figure out why they are there if there isn't some connection to
the game..
Any way... I certainly appreicate your time and hints. They are just
exactly what I was looking for. Just something to get me going in
some kind of direction, but not the actual solutions..
You probably will hear from me again... :-):-)
I have your name written down... hope you don't mind...

My pleasure .. hope it was useful. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival, today
hopefully, of my new drive and sound card. I've decided on the Toshiba
TXM3501B quad SCSI-2 and I'm going to use the new Sound Blaster SCSI-2
for the interface. The SCSI-2 SB card kills two birds with one stone for
me becuase I was in the market for a sound card anyway. I'd originally
costed out a Toshiba drive, an Adaptec SCSI-2 controller and a sound card
at about $1200. My total the way I'm purchasing it now is $730 taxes included.
I was also happy to learn from a magazine article in Computer Gaming
World that the SCSI-2 interface on the Sound Blaster is by Adaptec.
Good luck in your quest for a new drive. My next upgrade will be the
CPU (when the prices return to more normal levels after the Japan disaster).

Didn't catch if you had a sound blaster or what..if your cdrom came with a
drive
board you will need to connect your cables to it (audio and drive) run
your external cables to the sound boards input.
Sound blaster has a program in the directory Sbpro called cdplyr.exe
Also windows has Media Player for audio cd's. Run either program and you can
listen to your tunes and simply escape to exit and go back
to the bbs to download something.
Also try using the install disk again to reinstall some files that may be
corrupt or deleted.

Windows will set it self up upon install.
If you can not run the cd's using
dos based programs, your problem lies in your cd software or most likely
your autoexec.bat file in your root. Re-install your cd driver disks again
and allow the program to choose the defaults. Read carefully the messages
during install. Your cd drive is D. Your dos programs are looking for drive
"S" You do not have a drive S. After re-installing the disk run dos MEMMAKER
(I am assuming you are not using a memory manager other than the one that came

Hi All,
I have a CD-ROM for sale, it is New, only used about an hour just
to test and make sure it works. I recieved it back on warranty
after sending in one that died. I have no use for it, I replaced it
with a 4x before it was returned.
I got this drive from Wee Yung (TRUC) his current price is $119 + $10
for shipping, Total of $129.
Wee lists it as a Panasonic 562B but it's a Matsushita-Kotobuki CR-562-B
I don't know if thats a Sub of Panasonic or what.
I will take $110 shipped anywhere in the 48 if prepaid.
Or with a small deposit first I will send it COD for the balance.
Add an extra $5 for COD Charges or if less it will be what ever it is.
I will guarantee non DOA only, I will provide a copy of my sales reciept
and a bill of sales to you. Any other warranty would have to be through
Wee. I don't know if there would be one or not. I'll just say I already
had trouble with him, but since there was so many people that yelled
when I posted a Wee Yung Warning, Maybe one of you would like to have it.
It is the drive only, no controler card, it will work with a Sound Blaster
that has a Panasonic interface or Wee has the controler card listed for
$10, this is an internal drive with cables, book, and setup disk.
Respond here or call 503-726-3918.

You have to get the right power specs. If you give it too much power,
then the switches on the power lines will "trip". You have to use the
right combinations to get the right volts. I don't remember where you
find the right voltage, I think you use the tower.

Drink with him, but don't drink. Each time he offers you a drink, propose a

I have sources to get any brand you want but they will only sell

license to them.
WL> Appears that the Philips is good in price, but, as you said,
WL> we need to joint all the parts, software, special harddisk

I would have gotten a Philips but I had a chance to pick up a
Yamaha dealer demo that had actually never been used for only
$600 more so I took the quad speed.
WL> You said about somebody that supply to you blank disks for
WL> less than $10. Well, it's possible that we can do business.
Yes.. we can do business... but I hope I was clear that the $10
price is only available in fairly large quantities... like over
100 discs. Smaller quantities will cost about $12 each. Again
you have to fax all kinds of info like tax numbers and business
license and setup a dealer account with these companies before

additional information that you really need to know before you

If you would like to make $50,000 in two months, read on. The information
below this opening paragraph is very important, retain it. And if you think
$50,000 in two months is a gimmick, know that it's from only a total of a $5
investment. TRY IT!
Fellow Debtor:
This is going to sound like a con, but in fact IT WORKS! The person who
is now #8 on the list was #9 when I got it, which was only a few days ago.
Five dollars is a small investment in your future. Forget the lottery
for a week, and give this a try. It can work for ALL of us.
Good Luck!!
Dear Friend:
My name is Dave Rhodes. In September 1988 my car was repossessed and the
bill collectors were hounding me like you wouldn't believe. I was laid
off and my unemployment checks had run out. The only escape I had from
the pressures of failure was my computer and my modem. I longed to turn
my advocation into my vocation.
In January 1989 my family and I went on a ten day cruise to the tropics.
I bought a brand new Lincoln Town Car with CASH in February 1989. I am
currently building a new home on the west coast of Florida, with a private
pool, boat slip, an a beautiful view of the bay from my breakfast room
table and patio. I will never have to work again. Today I am RICH! I have
earned over $400,000.00 (Four Hundred Thousand Dollars) to date and will
become a millionaire within 4 or 5 months. Anyone can do the same. This
money making program works perfectly every time, 100% of the time. I have
NEVER failed to earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. Best of all,
you never have to leave home except to go to your mailbox or post office.
In October 1988, I received a letter in the mail telling me how I could
earn $50,000.00 or more whenever I wanted. I was naturally very skeptical
and threw the letter on the desk next to my computer. It's funny though,
when you are desparate, backed into a corner, your mind does crazy things.
I spent a frustrating day looking through the want ads for a job with a
future. The pickings were sparse at best. That night I tried to unwind
by booting up my computer and calling several bulletin boards. I read
several of the messages posted and then glanced at the letter laying next
to the computer. All at once it became clear to me. I now had the key to
my dreams.
I realized that with the power of the computer I could expand and enhance
this money making formula into the most unbelievable cash flow generator
that has ever been created. I substituted the computer bulletin boards in
place of the post office and electronically did by computer what others
were doing by mail. Now only a few letters are mailed manually. Most of
the hard work is speedily downloaded to other bulletin boards throughout
the world. If you believe that someday you deserve that lucky break that
you have waited for all of your life, simply follow the easy instructions
below. Your dreams WILL come true.
Sincerely yours,
Dave Rhodes
INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these instructions EXACTLY, and in 20 to 60 days you will have received
well over $50,000.00 cash, all yours. This program has remained successful
because of the HONESTY and integrety of the participants. Please continue its
success by CAREFULLY ADHERING to the instructions.
Welcome to the world of Mail Order! This little business is somewhat different
than most mail order houses. Your product is not solid and tangible, but
rather a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many
large corporations are happy to pay big bucks for quality lists.
(The money made from the mailing lists is secondary to the income which is
made from people like yourself requesting that they be included in that list.)
[1] Immediately mail $1.00 to the first 5 names listed below, starting at
number 1 through number 5. SEND CASH ONLY. (Total investment: $5.00)
Enclose a note with each letter stating: "Please add my name to your
mailing list". Include your name and mailing address.
(This is a legitimate service that you are requesting and you are paying
$1.00 for this service.)
[2] Remove the name that appears as number 1 on the list. Move the other
9 names up one position (Number 2 becomes number 1, number 3 becomes
number 2, and so on). Place your name, address, and zip code in the
number 10 position.
[3] With your name in the number 10 position, upload this ENTIRE file to
10 (ten) different bulletin boards. You may post it to the BBS's
message base or to the file section. Name it FASTCASH.TXT, and use the
file description comments to draw attention to this file and its great
potential for all of us.
[4] Within 60 days you will receive over $50,000.00 in CASH.
Keep a copy of this file for yourself so that you can use it again and again
whenever you need money. As soon as you mail out these letters you are
automatically in the mail order business. People will be sending YOU $1.00
to be placed on your mailing list.
This list can then be rented to a broker that can be found in your local
yellow pages listings for additional income on a regular basis. The list will
become more valuable as it grows in size.
This is a service. ** IT IS PERFECTLY LEGAL **
If you have any doubts as to the legality of this service, please refer to
Title 18, Sections 1302 and 1341 of the Postal Lottery Laws.
NOTE: Make sure that you retain EVERY name and address sent to you, either
on computer or hard copy, but do not discard the names and notes that
people send to you. This is PROOF that you are truly providing a
service, and should the I.R.S. or some other government agency question
you, you can provide them with this proof!
Remember, as each post is downloaded and the instructions carefully followed,
five memebers will be reimbursed for their participation as a List Developer
with $1.00 each. Your name will move up the list geometrically so that when
your name reaches the number 5 position you will be receiving thousands of
dollars in cash.
REMEMBER - THIS PROGRAM FAILS ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT HONEST - PLEASE!!
PLEASE BE HONORABLE...IT DOES WORK! THANK YOU.

The following letter was written by a participating member in this program.
***************************************************************************
To those with the COMMON sense to participate in this easy money opportunity:
About six months ago, I received the enclosed post in letter form. I ignored
it. I received about five more of the same letter within the next two weeks.
I ignored them also. Of course, I was tempted to follow through and dreamed
of making thousands, but I was convinced it was just another gimmick and could
not possibly work.
I was wrong! About three weeks later, I saw this same letter posted on a local
bulletin board in Montreal. I liked the idea of giving it a try with my
computer. I didn't expect much because I figured, if other people were as
skeptical as I, they would not be too quick to part with $5.00. But, I BUY
LOTTERY TICKETS WEEKLY IN MY PROVINCE AND HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT BUT
TICKET STUBS! This week I decided to look at this as my weekly lottery
purchase. I addressed the envelopes and mailed out $1.00 in each as directed.
Two weeks went by and I didn't receive anything in the mail. The fourth week
rolled around and I couldn't believe what happened! I can not say that I
received $50,000.00, but it was definitely well over $35,000.00! For the first
time in 10 years I got out of debt. It was great. Of course, it did not take
me long to go through my earnings, so I am using this excellent money
opportunity once again. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND GET READY TO ENJOY!
Please send a copy of this letter along with the enclosed letter so together
we can convince people who are skeptical that this really does work!
Good Luck,
Charles Kust
St Agathe Que.
REMEMBER--We were ALL skeptical at first...now, we are in the $$$!!!
Try it...be one of the smart ones!
... Security, confine Ensign to the brig.

The VLB controller card has no other IDE connections available; running 2 HDs
and a tape backup accellerator off it. AND the audio cable that came with the
SB 16 didn't match the connection on the back of the Mitsumi 4X.

Raymond, the key for the locked cabinet is in the projector room. Look
very carefully around the "edges" of the room. This took me quite a
while to find too.
Also for EVA's key, look up, down, around, under, her desk. You'll find

What there are MORE levels beyond 30 ??????
Level 30 sure IS a killer! Hmmm .. from what you're saying, I take it that
once on the pillar in front of where all the baddies were being shot out
from that it is from there that you actually fired three rockets into the
window opening? That what you mean? That must be a real trick since you
would have to be on the pillar as its rising and how you could get the
rocket launcher to recycle 3 times before passing the window is beyond me.
It hasn't worked here so far here. I tried it as well on all three levels
and no go. Hmm ..
MS>I don't remember level 20 being especially hard...but then I was prone
MS>to a little ammo cheating here and there. What is the reference to
MS>"going left at tyhe door" about?
Oh, back on level 20 you were immediately faced with an Spider MasterMind
and a CyberDemon upon opening the very first door. I finally got the
spider with rockets, never made it to its platform to push the button, but
had to retreat back out the entrance cuz the CyberDemon was unbeatable.
Once back outside the door, I jumped off and just went left and around,
across the radioactive field in a suit and finally kicked butt while
bypassing the former CyberDemon.

I never made it that far. I've been playing the game without cheat codes
and it's a tough one. After killing the Spider MasterMind with rockets I
only managed to beat feet back out the very first entrance, donned a
radiation suit, jumped off doing a left envelopment and fought my way
through from there instead. I never did get the blue (?) key that was
there nor kill the CyberDemon, but since progressed to level 30
regardless. Now 30 level - that is a kick in the butt for sure!

Not always. A few weeks ago I was picking up two CD-ROM echos. One was
simply called CDROM (this one) and the other one was called CDROM_SALE.
The CDROM_SALE echo has tons of ads for both platters and drives. I was
able to get information on drives for sale only through the use of keywords
and by relying on the fact that it is a "for sale" type of echo. OTOH this
echo's name does not imply sales but things having to do with CDROM drives
in a technical manner. Wait a minute while I check for a copy of the echo
rules...
Well... there are 261 messages available in the echo, not one of which is
a copy of the echo rules. It seems there is no moderator here so it may be
kind of tough to find out what the rules are!
I personally don't have the time to wade through a bunch of ads for
when I need technical information. So (and I probably speak for more
people than just myself) not only will I skip the ads, I'll drop the
echo. Just like I'm sure others before me have and others after me will.
Maybe the Echomail list has a CDROM_TECH echo.
If you wish to reply to me do it in Netmail, for I won't be here to get
your reply.
Later...

You will need to install a SCSI-2 interface to run the NEC 4X through.
Otherwise, the SCSI-1 interface on the SB-16 will probably choke down
your performance (Unless you have the SB-16 SCSI-2). I tried to do the
same thing using a Pro Audio 16 card. It just didn't work
properly. If you have an open slot on your motherboard, suggest you
consider purchasing the NEC SCSI-2 interface card (or equivalent).
Otherwise you will need to upgrade you sound card to one
with a SCSI-2 interface on it. That's what I did, as I didn't have any
spare slots. I now get the full data transfer capabilities from my NEC
4Xi with a SB-16 SCSI-2 card. Prior to that I only got about 2/3 of
what I should have seen. Good luck and enjoy the NEC.

Hi Allen,
I read your message about your problems with SoundBlaster CD16 CD-ROM
opening half way. There seems to be a question as to which manufacturer
supplied the CD-ROM. Just to let you know, I have the same model and
pressing eject opens the CD holder opens fully. I bought the Discovery
package in November 1994. I looked in my manual and there is nothing about
who the manufacturer is. I bought my unit at Office Depot as the Multimedia
kit. No problems at all, works great.
Just in case the units are not the same, I will describe the front panel on
my CD-Drive. It is completely beige in colour. In the center of the CD
holder is "CREATIVE" and on the right side of the holder is SB<~. Below
and to the left are the phone jack, then to its right is the Volume and a
Busy indicator. On the left side below the CD holder is "Compact Disc", to
its right is a small hole, and then the eject button.
Hope this helps. Regards, ... Bordan

In my humble opinion, no. It's only useful if the media/program can
make use of the additional speed, i.e., is designed for 4X. I know of
no product that yet is designed to benefit from 4X (but I know that by
tomorrow someone here will set me straight on that statement). Once the
capacity of the CDROM is doubled or tripled, a 4X will be more
beneficial.
Isn't it too bad that the PC industry got so wedded to the music CD
technology (i.e., spiral recording) that it will be very difficult to
move to a cylindrical recording technology (like your HD) on the
CD disks that can more easily improve both seek time and data transfer

Here are my results and opinion...FWIW. The soundcard and tech support sucks.
I called this morning for an RMA# to return and damn near started WWII over
again with the Oriental gentleman in tech / returns. He wanted to do
everything -except- give me an RMA. I finally got one out of him after a long
winded 'talk' from him about how good his card was and the fact that it was
always the consumers fault their product never works right. There is also a
15% restocking fee on all returned items.
Problems:
a]Mitsumi 4x wouldn't recognize the card in no way, shape, form nor fashion.
Attempted Solutions:
a] Set MTM 4x as Master and Slave, on all attempts.
b] Installed MTM 4X and Soundcard software 1st & 2nd, tried reversing
proceedure.
c] Reconfigured addresses, IRQ's and DMA's on both card and 4X.
A local computer technical wizard with more certfications than gawd, a local
computer shop bench tech and I worked on this for two days and it simply would
not work.
So it's time to back up and punt, look for another soundcard or CDROM drive.
Compatibility shouldn't be so difficult on a clone.

Read: [N/A] Private: No
--> $419 <-- PIONEER DRM-602X SIX DISK CD CHANGER --> $419 <--
The Pioneer DRM-602X is a six disk SCSI-2 CDROM changer. It's the
perfect solution for adding multiple CDROMs to your BBS. Pioneer
has stopped production of the DRM-602X and is focusing exclusively
on quad speed drives. Once the supply in the distribution pipeline
sells out, this drive will no longer be available for purchase. The
alternative, Pioneer's DRM-604X, still costs about $800...
The DRM-602X has the following features:
-- Double speed, 307 k/sec transfer rate.
Disk change time, less than 5 seconds.
Access time, 300 msec.
-- Bare drive includes cartridge, audio cables, and
power cord.
-- DOS SCSI drivers supplied for ASPI compliant adaptors,
Future Domain adaptors, and the IBM PS/2 adaptor.
If you don't already have a SCSI interface and cable, I have the
Adaptec 1522A with the appropriate cable for $90. The 1522A is
a 16-bit PIO SCSI-2 controller.
I'll include the Pier 6 shareware disk (cut 1/95) for $15 extra.
The Pier shareware series is one of the most popular and respected
of the shareware CDROMs. This is the latest and it includes 650
meg of compressed files. BBS ready.
Shipping and Florida sales tax, if applicable, is extra. Visa and
Mastercard are accepted. I have several drives in stock ready for
shipment.

Thanks anyway, Paul, but I already placed the order so it's too late to

selling this setup. Very good components, and the price sounds good.
