- Quantum Leap and DMI Offer Instant One Gigabyte BBS
-
- For the first time, any user with a Macintosh, a modem and a CD-ROM
- drive can operate a one gigabyte BBS with little or no effort.
-
- DMI Systems of Quebec has just released a new product that allows
- the BBS operator to instantly install and operate a 1,200 megabyte
- Macintosh bulletin board system. DMI Systems offers integrated,
- pre-built Second Sight menus and file directories for Quantum Leap
- Technologies' Giga-ROM CD-ROM Archival Library, a collection of 11,676
- shareware and public domain files in Bill Goodman's new Compact Pro
- compression/archive format.
-
- Weighing in at over one billion bytes, the Giga-ROM is far and away
- the world's largest volume of software on a single CD-ROM disc.
- Because CD-ROMs are a read-only medium, the entire software collection
- is both unerasable and uninfectable, and unlike hard disk-based
- systems, requires absolutely no maintenance.
-
- DMI's "Directories and Menus for the Giga-ROM" provides the Second
- Sight sysop with a 'one step' installation process that allows the
- user to install and interface the disc to his Second Sight BBS in less
- than 30 minutes. The 142 directories and 158 pre-built menus
- correspond on a one-to-one basis with the layout of the Giga-ROM
- providing the same organizational scheme that direct access provides.
-
- DMI's "Directories and Menus” also includes a complete keyword
- searchable Archie compatible ASCII index so users can quickly search
- the disc contents to locate files of interest by executing a single
- menu command. The entire index file can also be downloaded by BBS
- users for off-line searching and reference. A run-time version of
- Archie by Pete Johnson is included with the package.
-
- The Giga-ROM itself contains a comprehensive On Location index for
- use with this speedy disk navigation and file utility desk accessory
- from On Technology.
-
- The Menus and Directories product carries a list price of $69. The
- Giga-ROM lists for $199. The two products are available as a bundled
- package for $169 from DMI Systems directly at 514-932-4066.
