Jeff, What software are you using for your disk cacheing? I thought I read that the number of cache hits you get going up from 2MB cache to 3MB doesn't really increase much and that going up rom there you get even fewer. And what mode were you running your graphics card in for this game. I hated having to switch to 640x480x8bit for Sierra's Kings Quest 5 (was it? The CD-rom version) It would not play when in 1024x768x8bit and thus did not get played for long or often. As a matter of fact it wouldn't play in 640x480x16bit mode either which I thought was really strange. Is this sort of thing common with windows games? Thanks.

I've been having trouble finding the right connector for my drive. Are there CD-ROM titles that use the CD-Audio if so which ones? It seems like most of the audio on the CD-ROM disks is in something similar to .wav and is read off the drive via SCSI or whatever and played by the sound card. Of course that's not true of listening to audio CDs on it, but I'm not too interested in doing that. Or at least I can live w/o it.

Here are a few other comments that may help you AD>decide between the two products. Actually I already own Street Atlas USA 2.0 and I think is an excellent application, AD>Maps created by Precision Mapping take a significantly longer time AD>to load and draw on screen than Street Atlas USA. On my 486DX/33 AD>system with a SONY single speed CDROM, a map of Seattle, AD>Washington took 57 seconds in Precision Mapping to load and draw AD>but took Street Atlas USA only 10 seconds. Hmmm, that is weird you would think a DOS application would run faster than WINDOWS given the same amount of memory to work with, it runs fairly quickly on my 486SX/33 with 8 Mb RAM and single speed CDROM AD>Many geographic features are difficult or impossible to locate in AD>Precision Mapping. I noticed on S.A. USA sometimes a name of a street won't be displayed until you point and click the right mouse button , not a big deal though, AD>Precision Mapping claims it has "Full CAD Features." In reality, AD>annotation features of this program are primitive, and include only AD>line and shape drawings and text. There is no ability to add AD>dotted or dashed lines, map symbols, fill patterns, or AD>cartographic objects, nor can you highlight routes or portions of AD>a map. Too bad, this was precisely the feature I got interested in... AD>If you need extensive annotation capabilities, take a look AD>at MapExpert from Delorme Mapping. It uses the same database as AD>Street Atlas USA and includes an extensive library of cartographic AD>symbols and excellent drawing and notation capabilities. At $295 list price, it doesn't beat my $0.50 pencil to draw or write on my S.A. USA printouts :) Thank you very much for your comments, I didn't know anything about Precission Mapping until now, I guess I should wait for something better/cheaper to come out... ___ X POW 1.0 On Trial X Kevlar Pajamas (tm) - New! from Bobbitt Security Systems! --- Maximus/2 2.01wb * Origin: Beta BBS - Los Osos,CA - 805.528.6829 (1:212/1006) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: MICHAEL BLITCH Number: 2445 To: ROBERT KUMMER Date: 04/23/94 3:39p Subj: Cd's To Trade Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No ADULT: Hot Pix 5 (for another adult CD) RK> Reply here with offers.

The generator. Each of the buttons generate a certain amount of current. The idea is to generate 59 volts, any more than that will turn the rocket side off. Press each of the buttons in turn and record the amount of volts for each button (you will need to watch the left dial when the right stops). From you list press the combination of buttons that will add to 59 volts. It does not matter which orde . From there you can enter the rocket.

Does this mean If it needs a caddy, you don't want one. Caddy drives require that you insert the CD-ROM into a special carrier before you can stick it into the drive... these carriers typically cost $5 or more each, and are not necessary with a caddyless drive. I was at CeBIT in Germany a month or so ago, and it's pretty obvious from what I saw there that caddyless drives are becoming more popular, and as people become more aware of the issues, the caddy-type drives are disappearing from the scene. Manufacturers are mentioning prominently that their drives are "caddyless" as an advantage... NOBODY is bragging about the fact that their drives use caddies. DF>that each CD will require a caddy, making them more expensive? What Yes, either that or you have to fiddle discs in and out of the dumb things before you can insert them into the drive. Steer clear of them! DF>should I expect to pay for a cheap used or new drive that supports DF>multiple sessions, particularly a single speed? Certainly not over $150. You can buy a double-speed, caddyless Panasonic brand new for not much more than that. DF>What else do I need to DF>know when looking through ads? Any help would be appreciated. Really, Dolores, the truth is that you needn't really worry about getting the absolutely-lowest-price-drive you can find. With the double-speed Panasonic CR-562 family drives (which are excellent) going for way under $200, the drive cost is minor in any case compared to what you're going to be spending on the discs you use in it. If it was me, I probably wouldn't go today with a single-speed drive unless it was $100 or less, with controller card and everything, and in perfect working condition. Just having a new-drive guarantee is almost worth the difference. * SLMR 2.1 * --- WM v2.07/92-0654 * Origin: CAD Connection - Montesson, FR 33 (1) 39-52-98-54 (2:320/203) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: GORDON PETERSON Number: 2516 To: SAM FERTITTA Date: 04/17/94 10:40p Subj: Open scream.

Ever think of video capture?? The quality is usually very disappointing. You don't get anywhere close to a 640x480 resolution, in part because the camera and VCR won't usually do that good. The other reason is because you either have to take two fields (both halves of a complete 525-line frame, recorded 1/60 of a second apart) and thus get a nasty fringing effect due to the motion during that 1/60 of a second, or else you take just one field, and that gives you even poor resolution still... no more than 263 horizontal lines. Even a rather mediocre scanner will usually get a FAR better captured image than you can get with video capture. * SLMR 2.1 * --- WM v2.07/92-0654 * Origin: CAD Connection - Montesson, FR 33 (1) 39-52-98-54 (2:320/203) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: KEVIN BEYERS @ 910/100 Number: 2518 To: ALL Date: 04/26/94 12:46p Subj: hitachi Driver Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No hello all, Last weekend, my father and I bought an CDR-2500 used<OLD> Driver, and it seems that hitachi might and might not have a driver for my Drive..

Yes, the drawing in the book has everything to do with getting into the world. You've probably tried playing the keys in the right order and everything, right? And you know the switches on the wall? Well, you've got to carfully count the notes from the bottom of the piano, icluding the black notes, one by one, and in the proper sequence. I'm not sure if you know what I'm talking about. You move the slider up note by note from the bottom and position it the number of notes upward that the notes are from the bottom of the piano. Tell me if you don't get it. Also, I can't get into the gear world. If you could just give me a push in the right direction, (what do I need to change or whatever), without giving it away completely, it would be apreciated. Obviously I can't help you solve the puzzles in the world just yet. Thanks =) --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: "K12 Connection" BBS, Calgary, AB.

I hadn't stumbled onto two of the underwater areas yet. Now I'm where the choice is between a big fat woman who drops out of a tree onto Rex and stomps him and eats him, or a woman who kicks him in a sensitive spot and sends him back two scenes. At least I figured out how to get the binoculars back from the monkey! My primary problem with the game is that it doesn't support my mouse properly. The mouse only can point to the left half of the screen, and if I go to fast and move the mouse below the bottom of the screen, it locks up the game! I have taken to avoiding the mouse in favor of the cursor keys. Have you had problems like this? It is a fairly intriguing game, and has nice graphics when played in "Naughty" mode.

It's VERY OBVIOUS that you have left out most of the truth and twisted the information to conform to what you want the users to think is the truth and kept out much of the information you DON'T WANT the users to know !! Therefore, I will personally start with this message and then post a FULL ACCOUNTING of OUR TRANSACTION after which I will NOT RESPOND to any of your further comments as this will again BREAK THE RULES OF THIS CONFERANCE, but then again, rules have no meaning or do they ?? >> "GO GET EM!, he doesn't know how.......For example, how does >> Boris account for all the complaints against him from Japan, >> Canada, Alaska, Holland, and all those others. It seems pretty >> far fetched that all those people are wrong and Boris is right. First OFF Mr. Rothman, you make it sound as though there are hundreds complaining all over the world about our service and policy. Yet, you see one post here and one post there. I've seen more bad post about one dealer here in less time than those aginst us in the 7 years we've paticipated in the echo !!!! In NO UNCERTIAN TERMS, am I going to state we have a 100% batting average and anyone that does, is outright lieing thru his/her teeth. We do the best we can and if that doesn't work, at least we made a good effort at it !! >> As far as him "Taking his gloves off", I did not see him >> actually reply directly to and address ONE COMPLAINT out of >> all those mentioned from all over the world. Now, after >> everybody's done posting, he comes in and speaks generally, >> but he wouldn't answer one specific complaint!! Here again, you must be reading what you want to read and deleting the rest of the information or FORGETTING IT !! >> The word is still out, Beware and Caveat Emptor! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is one I'am Framing !! It'll be worth $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ in the near future !! >> Boris, if you're reading this, everybody's tired of hearing >> about you here. I posted that I was through talking about you >> here, THEN and ONLY THEN, did you start to respond, when you >> thought nobody would answer or challenge you. Here again, IT'S AGAINST THE POLICY OF THIS ECHO TO CONDUCT BUSINESS in this ECHO and it is ALSO AGAINST POLICY TO FLAME ONE ANOTHER IN THIS ECHO!!! Believe me, I have saved all of your message ( including this one ) for future use and it's been VERY HARD NOT TO RESPONDED to them!! I nor anyone associated with our orginization want to degrade the level of this echo to the point in which you yourself would like to see it. But, I guess it's that time of the year to get a phone call from Bob Hall, so I might as well make it worth his call !! >> You have my phone number, why don't you call me and we'll see if >> you and I can resolve the problem you created. I'm tired of calling >> you, Here again, you twist the truth to make it sound the way you want it too!! The last time we spoke and the only other phone call RECEIVED by you was regarding your return, which was handled quickly and promply without any comments or questions. You make it sound as though you've called us 10 - 20 time and we have not responded, which is NOT TRUE as stated above !!! As for resolving your problem, uhmmmmm I think we can do that, just like other dealers here. We can start charging our customers a 20% restocking fee and also a $3. - $4. re-shrink wrapping fee and also charge for calling us regarding your problem on our 800 service, like some other dealers have been said they would do and also charging for goods returned in damaged condition. WE HAVEN'T CHARGED ANY of our customers ANY OF THE ABOVE FEES yet for any reason, but I'am sure we'll be happy to start with you !! >> and I'm as tired of talking about your bad policies here as >> everybody else is hearing them. One thing I can say about this is that business has been growing, by leaps and bounds, regarding Fidonet, since your bad policy comments. Most of the comments coming from these NEW customers have been very positive toward us !! I do get a good chuckle though about the comments they make regarding the statments you've post here!! As I stated, I will post a FULL ACCOUNTING of our transaction for all to see, since I have nothing to hide and then let the users of this echo decide if we were right or wrong !!! After that, I will not post any further messages regarding this matter as it is costing the sysops of this echo $$$ to pass this NON-CDROM ECHO material around, but then again, it's not your concern is it ??

He got this crazy idea that he could hook it through his stereo with a CD to tape converter. He plugged it in in the jack at the back of the computer and put the tape in. Then he tried the test sounds and... it WORKED!!! A soundblaster for 10 dollars!!! Sometimes it doesn't work though if you put it in wrong. How does this work? Doesn't it need a whole board with the chips and memory and stuff??? Why can a 10 dollar converter replace a 75-175 dollar sound blaster???

I admire your composure over such ridicule, and hope that it is put to rest one way or another. Being rather new on the Nets myself, I was amazed how easily one can become the subject of controversy over the least, and usually, the most unimportant matter, virtually overnight! I'm sure you have seen a few notes posted in my general vacinity. Having received positive feedback and encouragement from the likes of Ray Herold and others, I have taken their advice, and not replied to these insinuations. As Ray put it, they eventually go away, and most veterins of the nets usually know these inflamnatory remarks are more often then not, simply sour grapes. Not wishing to bore you with this, I will end it by saying as the British do: "Keep a stiff upper lip", and all the best. Hayden Bradshaw --- * SLMR 2.1a * What do you mean?

(see previous postings re: SB16/SCSI2 and NEC3xi problems) Briefly, I was experiencing periodic bad data reads with my new NEC3xi CD-ROM drive hooked up to a Soundblaster 16/SCSI2 interface. It turns out the NEC drive *was* defective. It was returned and the new one shows none of the old symptoms. The following describes the situation in more detail, for those who were reading the original thread or who are interested in the NEC triple-speed drive. First of all, the Soundblaster was never part of the problem. It performed and continues to perform flawlessly. I never even had to change the jumpers from their default settings. The original problem appeared *after* I successfully installed OS/2 from CDROM. In order to install OS/2 one must disable internal and external caching and certain other features (which are later reenabled); disabling all these settings slowed down my computer significantly and that had the side effect of reducing the frequency of the problem to almost nil. When I later reenabled the settings and tried to install another CDROM program I began to see the problem. The problem appeared as any of the following, at various times: 1.Application refused to load into Windows under OS/2, giving error message indicating there was not enough memory (when there was). 2.Application ran but crashed (strangely, a rare symptom). 3.Application failed upon reading invalid data (such as BC++4.0 INSTALL program when it detected a corrupt .PAK file). 4.Digital video player (in OS/2) would fail part way through an .AVI file with a message about invalid command/data. 5.Text in ASCII files would contain isolated blocks of garbage bytes up to several thousand bytes long. 6.OS/2 multimedia additions failed to install properly. 7.Large data files (8Meg) would contain blocks of corrupt data when copied from CDROM to HD then compared with binary comparer. Small files sometimes would be okay simply because the problem did not occur frequently enough to hit me during the copy. 8.Undoubtably several other failures were caused by this, too. I mentioned also that there was a large gear in the rear of the drive mechanism that appeared to be somewhat (*very* slightly) warped. The new drive does not have a noticeable warp. I doubt this was in any way responsible since at least one other person mentioned he had a similar apparent warp factor but that his drive worked fine. It is interesting to note that when the original drive was recognized by the DOS drivers it would be called a "CDR500 2.2", likely indicating version 2.2 of some internal software, while the new one is called a "CDR500 2.5". The first was manufactured in Feb. 94 while the new one is dated Mar. 94. If this is a version number, jumping from 2.2 to 2.5 (with no documentation covering changes) during one month of manufacturing may indicate a slight problem which NEC had identified and now corrected...I didn't call to ask. Thanks to all who wrote with suggestions. Now I can get back to the real work at hand!

Mine didn't come as a package, but the sound card software is set up to support 3 different CD drives directly. Everything works fine in Windows for me.

And I have got no problems with him until now. If someone wants to buy CDs, I recommend him as a very good dealer. I myself have bought many CDs from him, and every mounth I request many CDs (for me and some friends), and everybody is very satisfied with his service.

I'll tell you how to get to the book if you tell me how to get the two pages in the waterworld. To get to the book, you have to turn on the water tower and guide the water (done by flipping the switches, which you probably know) to a little control with a lever on it. when you pull the lever and water is running to it, a bridge will appear. Cross the bridge and you'll find another elevator. If you turn to your right, or somewhere around there, there's a little device that, when pulled, extends a pipe across the water to another pipe on the other side. You then have to recross the bridge and guide the water to this pipe (you can tell if the water's in the pipe because you'll hear the trickling sound.). On the other side of the pipe is the elevator, but you'll have to walk over the bridge again, get in the elevator, go to the top and there's the book. You might want to copy this message so you can look at it if you get lost. So if you could tell me how to get the pages, your help would be apreciated.

Not good advice... serial ports are standardized at IRQ 3 & 4, so he has to have his modem on one and (presuming it's a serial mouse) his mouse on the other... he can't use IRQ 1, that's for the keyboard... LPT2 uses IRQ 5, and if he doesn't have need for two printer ports, he can disable LPT2 or his I/O card may not support LPT2 anyway, and use IRQ5 as he planned. His solution probably involves having the number of the interrupt included in the initialization string for the CD-ROM in his config.sys - that he'll have to edit according to the instructions.

I *think* it was a Sony drive like mine (a 6000/7000 series external= 520 internal, I believe) and I kept the message until my hard disk died last year. Now that I'm having read problems with my drive (checked a couple CD's that I was having problems with on another drive and the problems went away) I'd like to do some cleaning, but I've gotten as far into the drive as I can without the likelihood of destroying something without some instructions to follow. Were you the one that posted the 'procedure'? If not do you remember who it might have been--it sure seems like they came from over your way? I'd appreciate any help you (or anyone else) might be able to provide. Though I Haven't seen one recently, I recall that there was a 'DiskWasher' product to do this sort of thing.

Internlly a 50 pin RSribbon cable with the female IDC socket connectors and for the external RSthe 50 pin centronics male connectors at both ends of the cable that RSgoes b/w SCSI-1 devices. As far as I know these work for SCSI-1 is it RSthe same for SCSI-2? I think the NEC 3x external CD-ROM uses a RSdifferent connector and I was wondering if that was considered the RSstandard for SCSI-2. It was a very unusual port (for me anyway) much RSsmaller than a 50 pin centronics. I don't remember much else. Hi Robert, Yes, SCSI1, SCSI2, and Fast SCSI2 connectors are identical and SCSI2 is downwardly compatible with SCSI1 so you can mix devices using a SCSI2 adapter. The NEC 3X is switchable from SCSI2 to SCSI1 for those with a SCSI1 adapter. A different type of connector is used for Fast and WIDE SCSI2 (to provide faster transfers across the SCSI bus) but these adapters and devices are fairly rare. The cabling used by the NEC external 3Xp and 3Xe is actually a MAC style plug and a centronics style SCSI cable can be bought separately from NEC for the drive. I believe the cost is under $60. The internal 3X uses standard 50 pin scsi ribbon cable connection. Sorta sounds like the externals are targeted at Mac owners and internals at PC Pilots. Hope this helps, Cheers..Paul.

A Look at DR. GAMES CD Disk. General :- When bringing up the front end of this disk it gives you a Sharware warning. It then goes on to the main menu. All this main menu does is show you a list of the games 62 in all. Once you have found a game that you would like to play it will start a bat file and you will be able to play the game. When you quit the game you will return to Dos and will have to go through the whole menu system from the start. This I found to be a bit irritating. If you are a BBS Sysop this disk will not be for you as there are no ziped files or files.bbs files. In fact if you are a games enthusiast I would not spend the R110 on this disk. About the games :- Out of the 60 games I played or tried to play 20. I found most most of them to be these silly little game that you would play while waiting to do something more importaint. A few of them I could not even find out how to get started and had to give up. Even the graphics were not that good so I can't even say it was worth looking at it for that. The only game that I found I could sit and play was a copy of Wolfenstien 3D. You can Request a full list of the files "DRGAME.ZIP" from me at 5:7104/9 or download it from Big Mac BBS 041-333113.

I can't find the connector that fits into the jack on the back of the Toshiba anywhere (it's the same as the one on a 3301b I've seen.

NOTE TO ALL SYSOPS, Please see the note to you and Bob Hall at the end of this post..... ....................... Boris, I am not flaming. I've been on echos for years, you've never seen me jump on anyone and everything I've said is truthful. The facts are plain and simple. You shipped late again and again. You said a shipment went out on a certain date, then when I finally received it, the postmark was days later than you said it had been shipped. You said the post office must have lost your package. I've been in computing for more than a dozen years and photography for 47- years. Living in Alaska I buy much of what I need by Mail Order. According to what you told me, you have apparently had the post office lose more of your packages than all the other dealers I've dealt with for more than 47-years. >BO> I am going to state we have a 100% batting average and anyone that >BO> does, is outright lieing thru his/her teeth. We do the best we can >BO> and if that doesn't work, at least we made a good effort at it !! The responses I've seen from Japan, Canada, Holland seem to contradict your "100%" remark. You shipped me late, wrong stuff, titles not ordered or promised and after two months of getting un-connectable, unusable system parts, I was fed up and asked for an RMA. You gave me one and said to return it Parcel Post. I didn't because, in your own words, "The post office is not always reliable" I sent it back DHL. It cost me $42.00. After a month, you finally credited what you charged me, but not what it cost me to return the stuff to you. I called you to ask about that and you said I shouldn't have sent it DHL, and you refused to send me the $42.00 I spent to return the defective, unconnectable system to you. I then said, OK, just send me the $20.00 it would have cost by mail. You refused this as well and that is when I became upset and what started all this communication. Even then, since you told me you were through with Fido, I wasn't going to post on it. Then when I saw you back on with quantities of messages per day, I felt an obligation to post my experiences. I posted ONE message about the situation, explaining clearly what happened. After that I only responded to messages to me about your dealings elsewhere. I said, and I repeat, IF I had returned any merchandise BECAUSE I changed my mind or didn't want it, THEN I would expect to pay shipping both ways AND a restocking fee. BUT I returned the stuff to you because you shipped me an unconnectable system and when I complained, you told me to cut off the ends of the connecting cables and solder on new ones. Also I originally ordered the system well before Christmas and the end of February I still did not have a usuable system from you. After our last conversation, some time ago, you told me you were not going to advertise on FIDO anymore because you had "too many complaints" I was through with you and wasn't going to post anything about it as I didn't see any reason to. I too have saved all the correspondence on this. If you missed any of those messages from others and would like copies of them, send me a stamped, self-addressed envelope, and I'll send you copies. NOTE TO BOB HALL and all the other SYSOPS. This is the total truth and the end. I will not respond further or continue the thread. The story had been beat to death. As I said to others, If they like Boris, deal with him. I just posted what happened to me as general information. The only thing I'll respond to further is if somebody flames me.

The Power PC was NN>> faster, but by about NN>> 5% on integer manipulations and by about 20% on floating NN>> point. Not a NN>> significant difference, is there? At that point, I'll pay NN>> more for the peace of NN>> mind of running a machine with a real x86 instruction set NN>> for compatibility NN>> reasons. That's not a bad show, considering the contest is between x86's near-last inception and Power PC's first generation. My concern also is one of compatiblity, specifically, will the software I write today be useful even five years down he road? But again, what's most important is what your prime application is. I'm running ACAD-class vector (floating point intensive) graphics software. If I'm doing a 3D file with lots of hidden line removal, I have very little trouble bogging down a 486/33 machine. For a typical such plotting job I'll easily lock up the machine for 10 minutes while it does nothing but figure out which lines not to print. While this does give me a sense of pride, I'd much rather have the machine doing other things. RISC means, I think, only that low level machine instructions are stroed somewhere else in the computer than in the microprocessor. The reason we have so many CISC machines in the world is historical; x86 computers are based on designs such as ENIAC (the chip itself looks physically very much like the floor plan of an ENIAC lab) wherein memory was expensive ferromagnetic core type. Huge op codes had to hard-wired into the central processor if computers were to be at all "reasonably" affordable. Even during the cold war, price WAS an object. What's made RISC affordable is simply the introduction of cheap DRAM memory. It is now practical to keep the main data routes clear of idle code ("garbage") and select only what you need for a given operation from RAM located off to the side of the microprocessor. Witness the new 64-bit RISC based video games that feature real-time decision making abilities with very complex graphics and sell for less that $300 list. --- * Origin: Catonsville Comm.

Robert - While I can't give you any advice on what SCSI board to use, I would say that you're on the right track. Ever since having hooked my NEC 3xi up to my PAS 16 I've had crappy video performance in anything but the TINIEST of windows. Of course you'd never get MediaVision to say that yes, the SCSI interface on the PAS isn't all that it should be! I saw a post here a couple of days (weeks?) ago from a guy who had this to say: Finally I went out and bought a 16 bit SCSI-2 controller. The 3Xi works just fine now. I'm now getting 449kb/sec (Darn, where'd that 1kb/sec go <g>) and my multi-media apps run SMOOLTHLY. Looks like a fellow sojourner found the light. Best of luck. If you get a chance, e-mail me and let me know what you bought, how much it cost and if it solved the problem. -- Grant Lewis, Greenville, SC 04/28/94 18:08 NetMail: 1:3639/7 Internet: grant.lewis@f7.n3639.z1.fidonet.org ___ * CmpQwk #UNREG * UNREGISTERED EVALUATION COPY --- Maximus/2 2.01wb * Origin: The Fantasy Source BBS!

The music is stunning, much better than FM synth. I believe the music was created using a General MIDI setup and recorded on the CD. All of the music tracks can be played on an ordinary CD player, but to hear them through your speakers (hooked into your sound card) you need to connect that CD-Audio cable to your card.

I was trying to gather info on cis about it being able to printout mailing labels. Someone on cis said it does. I will order it from you if you will allow me to return it if it does not do the job. I run a hotel and want to do some mailing each month. I want to search by city and state and then limit my search criteria even more to come up with say 500 mailing labels to send to the printer. If it will do the job, it is what I want. If not, I need to know that I can return it to you for a refund. If you can assure me of that, I will put in an order for it from you.

In answering your question, Yes, you can buy a separate AT Interface card which control your Cd-roms. (This costs about $35-45). BTW, the lowest price I find for a Panasonic CRB562 is $274 not including the interface card. The store is in China Town in sydney. >Also, do all CD-ROMs require the same I/O > card (ie will a Panasonic work just as well on a card designed for a > Sony?).

Please > correct me if I'm wrong I think you must get a double speed rather than a single speed, not only because the small price difference between them, and also the jerkyness to play games using a single speed drive.

Sofar, there are five cd-rom type interfaces. odds are that a panasonic wouldn't work with a sony interface card. If you want, COMPUSA is selling a double speed drive with an interface around my house for 149.99 plus tax, and i'd be happy to get it for you the next time i go, provided you send me a check or moneyorder. With this drive, you wouldn't need another sound card because it comes with its own 16-bit interface card. It works very nicely.

I have been refining the program that I wrote to calculate the average file date of a cd rom disc (or of any group of files on a drive or in a directory). In order to make it simple when I first wrote it I had converted the months based on an average of 30 days. I knew it was not exact because 30 days times 12 months equal 360 ...but there are 365 days in a year. I finally got around to writing the code to do the calculations accurately based on the number of days in each individual month. Anyway I wanted to make this program available to file request and correct the stats on a couple of the cd's I had reported the original average date on: Night Owl 12 Average date of all the files: 1-2-94 Cream of the Crop 3 Average date of all the files: 1-23-94 Freq AvgAge.zip from 3625/441 if you like. There are no docs but you may want to know that any file date before Jan 1 1980 or after Dec 31 1999 will be totally ignored and omitted from the averaging process. If you want to run AvgAge on a directory or sub directory you have to put it in your path and change to the directory. If there are any sub directories under that directory it will check them too. It ONLY works on files with .ZIP extension.

It will probably be easier to have the images stored on your hard disk, and then back them up to the tape. It would be a lot quicker, and save a lot of time (tape drives are pretty slow :) ). I know some of those images can end up taking 20 megs or more, but I know of no utility that will simply copy files to a tape drive. The picture quality will be the same as the scanned image on your disc. What you see on the screen after you scan the image is how it will look on your compact disc. Kodak photo CD's are unique in that they have many different image files for each resolution you view them at. The other advantage to the photo CD's is that you can view them on any PhotoCD compatible system, such as the Kodak PhotoCD, 3DO, CDI, and any future CD-ROM based system. This could be beneficial if you are travelling to a friend or reletive's home and want to show them the same images. When you do it yourself, you'll be limited to only Mac and PC owners (provided their drives are ISO9660 compatible). The other downside to doing it yourself if the cost. Most people on here charge anywhere from $50-$75 to press a single CD. A kodak photoCD can be had for less (depending on where you have the pictures transferred). You'll also get better image quality, since the negatives from your pictures are used instead of prints. *** Maximus 2.00 TriDog 6.2 * Origin: The Yellow Pages BBS =>301-737-5344 =Call today!= (1:2612/104) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: SCOTT RALEY Number: 4595 To: JACOPO PRISCO Date: 05/08/94 10:42a Subj: Megarace Cd Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No JP>It's frustrating because you always end up with the last car in front JP>of you, and suddenly the race is over.

It's pretty much entirely arcade action. The game graphics are very good. Sound can be good, but I keep having intermittent problems getting the sound to work on a PAS16. The joystick control is pretty hard. The docs on setting it up are poor and you may need some help on that. My main gripe is that you have several scenarios per level. When you complete a level you get a password that allows you to go to the next level if you quit the game and restart. The problem is that, as far as I can tell [as I say the docs are poor], when you use the password you always have to got thru the scenarios within the level in order. So if you finish a level halfway and quit, you have to restart at the first scenario of the level. For example, my 6 year old wants to fight the Imperial walkers, but you can't fight them without flying thru caves first and we can't get thru the caves.

The local Software Etc. has them for $169 or $179, I forget which. That's about the average street price for those things ... you can do better. BH> lemme see if this in in the ballpark. The way I understand it is BH> that you had a problem adding CDROM drives to a 563 that you BH> already had. Thats what you refer to as (Add-On) drives....right?? In a manner of speaking. I bought a 563 with controller card from Software Etc., and then went about the exercise of trying to find additional drives to put on that controller. I bought two 562's from Kirk Jensen at CD Access, and then found I couldn't make them work on the 563's controller. Using the driver supplied with the 563, the 562's wouldn't be recognized at all; using the driver supplied with the 562's, all drives would be recognized but any attempt to access any of them would result in a Drive Not Ready error. Then I bought another 562, and a 16-bit-bus controller, from Kirk, and put all three 562's on one controller. That worked fine. There is some evidence that the device driver supplied with the 563's from Software Etc. will not support multiple drives no matter what you do (this despite the fact that the outside of the box is prominently marked as "able to daisy-chain up to four drives"). There is also some evidence that the controller card supplied with that drive is a non-standard design (for one thing, it only gives you addressing options of 0x250 or 0x260, and not 0x300-0x340 as seems to be common for CDs) and that therefore someone else's device drivers will probably not work. BH> I just boughtt my 563 so I'm not positive that is the way it should BH> work, but if it operates on the same principal as my Sonys, that BH> should be correct. Give it a test and lemme know how it turns out BH> before I purchase any more of these drives. Mostly it depends on where you bought your drive. If you got it in a mall chain store, and if the device driver is called SBCD.SYS or something like that, and if the interface is an 8-bit card with addressing options of 0x250 and 0x260, you may be stuck. At least if you get it to work on more than one drive, I'd be interested in knowing how. . . . . . ep --- WM v2.09/91-0245 * Origin: NETIS Public Access Internet (603)432-2517 (1:132/189) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CHRISTIAN BARTSCH Number: 4624 To: ATALIBA FARIA JR.

Before I was thinking of being cheated by somebody! Does USPS has any kind of tracking number? Please ask USPS for me on the current status of the package. BTW, because several of the BBS here in Guam is down sometimes, so possibly the reason why I did not receive any of your previous mesage is because of that.

This creates delays and frustration for you, and is the primary reason we have always elected to "stock what we sell".

I hope those aren't the ones that have the power saving "feature" that cuts off the speakers after a certain amount of inactivity. We suggested those speakers to 2 of our customers and the absolutly hate them. The sounds are clipped off more often than not because they are "asleep" most of the time. We looked around and actually like the Labtec 700. Their sound is superb, they have both a bass boost and a treble boost. They will either amplify or not, your choice, and they cost about 50.00. Generally the same price as the radio Shack speakers. They come with a wall adapter (no batteries like the Radio Shaft), their sheilding is greatand most importantly, they have a really good sound.
