Unfortunately I have no experience with your sound card so I'm not sure if they will suit. If you want a copy, I can upload them to Melb Pc BBS or put them on mine. Probably best if you voice me on (03) 787 4410 to save some time. Regards, Richard. P.S. Many sound cards do NOT have drivers for OS/2 so you may be searching in vain - an AT interface card only costs $40, supports 4 CD-Rom drives and still has full audio support ...

I have been told that I can just GH>> put CD-ROM in here (with it's own controller) and it will work fine. GH>> But I ha also been told that if I do that I won't be able to play audio GH>> CD's and listen to them through the sound card (like when in Windows and GH>> working on something having the CD playing in the background), and I GH>> have been told that the sound won't always work correctly (depending on GH>> who I talk to). JT> Tis true. You can't play the audio CD through the sound card. Not quite correct, with a little modification you can direct the output from the interface card back into your SB v1.0 to v2.0 SB card and have stereo sound. It does work because it is working here with my SB V1.5! The Music will play and so will any windows generated sound at the same time. Here is the instructions * Original From: Urban Larsson, 2:201/209 * Original Date: Oct 25 00:21 ============================================ OK Daniel, and anyone else thats interested, here's the solution how to get stereo sound from the SoundBlaster 1.0 when playing CD-audio sounds from the 562 CD-ROM driver using the paddle card. You'll need: 2pc 18-Kohm 1/4W resistors 2pc 10inch flexible wire Misc things, like soldering iron, cutters, etc.. 1. Remove both the SB and the CD-ROM controller, "paddle" card from your PC and put them in front of you so you can read the component markings on the cards. 2. Locate the two 10k resistors (colorlabeled brown,black,orange,gold) marked "R3" and "R4" one inch behind the MIC input connector on the SB card. 3. Solder one end of the first 18K resistor to the R3 resistor's end that points to the mic connector. 4. Solder one end of the first 10inch wire to the other end of the 18K resistor and the other end of the wire to the WHITE phono connector's center lead on the paddle card. 5. Solder one end of the second 18K resistor to the R4 resistor's end that points at the mic connector. 6. Solder one end of the second 10inch wire to the other end of the 18K resistor that is connected to R4 and the other end of the wire to the RED phono connector's center lead on the paddle card. 7. Protect the 18k resistors from shortcircut other parts of the SB card by putting some shrinktubing over them. The 18k resitors was choosen to get a 1-1 soundlevel between sampled sound and cd audiotrack sound. If a non 562 cd-drive is used, the values probable have to be adjusted. Use values down to 6.8k to get louder CD audio, and up to 33k to get more SB audio. Happy stereo listening. Ubbe. P.S This can also be done to the SB 2.0, but the 10k resistors are located 2 inches from mic connector and are marked "R21" and R23". NOTE! The 18k resistor connecting to R21 should be soldered to the end of R21 pointing AWAY from the mic connector. Catch Ya Later, Darren. ... WOMAN.ZIP: Great program.

Well, if you compare oranges to oranges, your "in-stock" list is actually smaller than mine. I could choose to consume bandwidth by advertising thousands of titles I don't carry, but somehow it doesn't seem worth my time and effort to do so, just so I can say "my list is bigger than yours" 8) Call me crazy, but one of my pet-peeves has always been mail-order firms who would advertise the hell out of their products, and then tell me they're "out of stock" on 75% of it when I try to order. That's why I stopped dealing with MSD. Since that business practice irritates me, I can only assume other consumers share my frustration, which is why I don't treat them that way. When someone calls and orders 10 titles by overnight air, I like to be able to tell them they'll be there tomorrow. Again, call me crazy. 8) Besides, my customers know I can special order any of over 3000 titles at a moment's notice anyway, and usually have them the next day since we place our orders almost daily, and I do quite a lot of that. No offense taken at your comment Brice, it's just that anyone can "list" 1600 titles, but it doesn't mean anything as far as bragging rights. But show me a firm that has a 97% in-stock rate vs. a firm with a 25% in-stock rate, and I'll give my business to the 97% guy every time!

You MUST have Photo CD Access or Photo CD Access Plus at least, although Adobe Photoshop will also open them; Photo CD Access (From Kodak) is much cheaper, however. As for resolution, it'll go as high as your monitor can go, and then some... The .PCD files (Photo CD Images files) average about 20 megabytes because of this. And finally, they convert quite nicely (Although they MUST remove some of the data, as 20 meg GIFs are bad news) to GIFs, as well as many other formats. You COULD convert from the highest resolution possible (Which is 5120xsomething or more) into a GIF, but it would be pointless, so I usually convert to 1024x768x256 at max, or 800x600x65535 for better color.

According to the review I read in CD-ROM World, June '94, p. 68, "The tray has a unique locking spindle that uses three spring-controlled ball bearings to lock the disc in place during loading and ejection. This lets you mount the drive horizontally or vertically without affecting preformance, a nice idea." It is a double-spin, SCSI-2 drive; I have no idea if it is available for other interfaces.

The resolutions are: 128x192 Base/16 72Kb Thumbnail 256x384 Base/4 258Kb For putting multi images on the screen 512x768 Base 1.1Mb TV quality 1024x1536 4Base 4.5Mb HDTV quality 2048x3072 16Base 18Mb for high quality printing needs There is one further resolution available only on the Pro Photo-CD 4096x6144 64Base 72Mb for ultra high quality printing needs Naturally, all of these are true colour images (24 bit) and their size will be reduced to 33% of the original size if they are converted down to 8bit (256 colours). In terms of quality, I have seen A4 colour seperations from the 16Base image, and let me tell you, they are as good as you will ever see in the best quality magazines you can buy. (From another poster) I'm becoming a big fan of Photo CD. It's the ultimate way to catalog and store your photos. I've never been good at putting pictures in albums, so Photo CD adds a little order to my life. I try to get the order of pictures correct when I have the discs made. But I have used the Photo CD player's memory to store some minor changes. Also, I can quickly load the pictures into my PC. I have Corel Draw and it's Corel Mosaic program loads Photo CD pictures and saves them in most any picture format. I use Corel's PhotoPaint and the Halo Imager to modify pictures. I've played with Gryphon's Morph for Windows to do thinks like turn me into my cat (meow). I have also used bits of my Photo CD images in Autodesk Animator Pro Animations - although it is more expensive, I get much better results than when I digitize video from my camcorder. [I've since purchased Corel's PhotoCD program, called "Corel Professional Photos -- CD-Rom" This is a series of CD's that cover different subjects -- over 100 different in the series, each has one hundred pictures that are in public domain -- but each disk includes the software that allows you to view, change formats etc. I got mine a one of the computor shows for about $16.00. Mine has pictures of the Caribbean] Eastman Kodak Co. has a hot line for any questions on their products. Call 1-800-242-2424 (Another contributor to my info file) I have been doing what you are talking about for about a year. I have four cd disk's full of photos that I have made in that time. Each disk will hold 100-125 exposures and viewing them on a 17 inch monitor sure beats the small prints. The software I use to show the images is called "Photo Factory for Windows". It is sold by a company in San Antonio, TX. The MultiMedia Store. I believe the price is $69.00 and with it comes 100 midi music files that can be played along with displaying the photos...Their phone # is 800-597-3686 if you are interested. Every time I take a roll of film I can't wait to see what they look like. The processing is done by Kodak and cost about seventy cents per exposure. [Prices are coming down -- you can get them for about 50c each now] Hope this answers some of your questions. ...

RV> Royalties? Oh dear! JC> Naaah, not even a little one is necessary. Maybe we should discuss product liability <grin>? (just kidding) I can now attest that storing a stack of CDROMs in Tyvek sleeves, _without_ placing the stack inside a containing box, is _definitely_ hazardous! I turned around in my chair, and knocked the entire stack off the bookshelf and onto the floor. Many landed face down. A very few stayed inside their sleeves. Fortunately, none was cruched under the wheels of my chair (what a tragedy that would have been!), and none was scratched in the fall. They are now stored inside a Clik!Case "CD 24 Maximum CD Protection" case. This hard-shelled case closes securely and provides reasonably rigid jewel-box-like supports for each CD, with clearance bewteen the disk itself and the backing surface. Cost was 13.95 - 10% = 12.55 at my local music store (about 52 cents per disk). It doesn't take up much room, it's easy to flip throught the disks, and I feel the disks are *safe* at last. P.S. I'm _not_ serious about the product liability. Thanks for your helpful suggestions and discussions! P.P.S. There is a similar case made by another company, which has *flexible* holders. I tried it, and found that I ended up grinding the disk into the backing when trying to get it out. Caveat Emptor! (They also did not bother elevating the disk away from the backing surface enough.

MPEG playback is a add-on card for Phillips CD-I player. It can be found on the ReelMagic card for the PC from Sigma Designs.

The other type will use MPEG decoder from LSI logic. A consortium for MPEG was formed to insure that all these boards are compatible. The consortium consisted of 50 companies that worked with MIcrosoft on a common MPEG API for Windows. Texas instruments introduced the first VideoCD system that will move MPEG to television screens. A joint effort of JVC, Matsushita, Phillips and Sony , the VideoCD adds data interchange and VCR like controls to an MPEG 1 compression engine. The VideoCD is also known as White Book. MGM, Paramount and Columbia will be releasing video-CD movies that are geared to the high end audio market.

I EJ> read a magazine that rated this kind of cache is "not very EJ> efficient".. is it true? Did you compare it with other caching EJ> program? (Such as Norton Speeddrive+, MS SmartDrv 5.0, Lightning EJ> CD.. etc..) Actually it is doing a sort of learned pattern matching and is writing read data from the cd to the hard drive area. If you consider the access speed of hard drives this is a fast way. Unlike Hard drive cache programs you can just send a 1-2 or so meg read ahead into memory for the speed but in the case of a cdRom the data can be very expansive which could be very difficult to cache into memory so the Hard Drive area is the next best thing. The only way that this type of program is very good at all is if you are hitting the same data over and over again. Otherwise this is not very good at this time. Smartdrive and Norton and Cache 86 (my favorite) will give you better performance gains with the normal cache into memory options. Hope this helps. --- ■ RM 1.3 01864 ■ --- QScan v1.066b * Origin: The Macaw's Roost * Alief, TX * (713)495-3730 (1:106/212) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: KEVIN MARTIN Number: 8268 To: DICKARD Date: 06/25/94 8:28p Subj: SONY210E.SYS Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No On Jun 24 01:15, Dickard of 1:271/266@Fidonet wrote: D> HELP HELP!!!

The ACT is the last state that intends to ban these games & they are the most reluctant state to do so ! But without your input they WILL ban them ! The R/X ban legislation is due to be presented to the ACT in early-mid July. A draft will be available from the ACT government towards the end of June. You will need to write to ALL of the below ministers,so that maximum impact can be obtained. It's high time that the unrepresentative minority lobby groups in this country were stopped in their tracks. They've got their R & X classification, but that's a far as they should be permitted to go. Just draft a brief letter, copy it & send it to ALL of the below list now ! Also get your adult computer/BBS friends to send letters, spread the word. Stop being afraid to speak out, do it (I am writing my letters as I speak !) What will happen in the future when books, magazines, newspapers & videos are all REPLACED by Electronic Publishing/Multimedia CD-ROMs & Communication Networks ? I bet the government & the OFLC will consider them as "programs", not electronic books & hence banned if they contain any R or X rated material ! Send your letters to : 1.

It would also be a good idea to write to your local state & Federal MPs & ALL state Attorney-Generals. This national ban was decided in a closed meeting between all the Australian Attorney-Generals earlier this year. Where's the democratic decision-making process come into this ? It didn't,so you need to tell them WE won't put up with this ! If you cannot find a particular state Attorney-Generals contact address & phone number then call your local phone "directory assistance operator" & they'll give it to you ! DO IT NOW & DON'T LET THESE MINORITY GROUPS RULE THE ENTIRE NATION !!!! It will only take ten minutes of your time. It's time to stand up for your rights as an Adult ! You shouldn't have to but now YOU do in this country... Regards, Patrick. PS: Don't believe the Federal government won't legislate to ban the import of this material. Once they succeed in banning the retail sale/BBS use of this material they'll quickly change the customs act & ban their import as well. Do not believe that Customs can't effectively police bans on software. So it's most important that this retail ban be stopped in its tracks !

Refer: NONE Read: [N/A] Private: No Just a word to the wise. Whenever you see an NEC 3Xi advertised for around $369 you might ask what the part number is. If it is a CDR-510, then it is the OEM unit mfd by NEC without the front panel and goodies. ALSO, they do not warrent nor service it. That is up to whoever sells it. If you want the REAL NEC 3Xi, the part number is CDR-500 and will cost you $75 - 100 more than the reduced functionality CDR-510. Not saying there is anything wrong with the 510, but if you want the full blown LCD front panel with lots of buttons, warranteed and serviced by NEC, you ain't getting it with a 510. I'm sure the quality is still there, and the price for someone who only wants to use it as a computer peripheral is certainly attractive.

If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island which contains information to help you find each Myst book on the island. You begin facing a tree on a series of wooden walkways. Find your way along these walkways until you have found an elevator, a circular stairway you can't enter, a pump like device with a handle, and the wind mill building. In the wind mill building, turn on the faucet at the bottom of the large tank. The pipes along the walkway have switches that direct the water flow to different routes. Set these switches so that water flows to the pump by the elevator. Enter the elevator and clo se the door by clicking on it. Pull the handle and ride up to the lower tree level. Find you way to the circular stairway and go down it. You can open the door from the inside and it will stay open. Reset the pipe switches so that water flows to the pump device at the bottom of the circular stairway. Go back up the stairs to the elevator next to the stairs and ride it to the upper tree level. There is a red page, a blue page, and the right half of a note to be found here, along with various clues to the behavior of the former occupants. When you are ready to leave, make your way to the wooden walkways and reset the switch so that water flows to the pump device at the end of the deadend walkway. Pull the handle on the pump and the brid ge to the other section of walkway will appear. Follow it to another elevator. Follow the wooden walkway (not the one you came here on) until you find a crank. Turning this will extend the pipe across the gap. Go back to the pipe switches and dir ect the flow of water to the path that leads to the temporary pipe across the gap, which leads to the last elevator. Take this elevator up to a small room where the Myst book that transports you back to the Library can be found. Put the page in the same colored book and read it to get more of the story. Return via the Myst book in the Large Tree to get the other page. Don't forget to copy down the right half of the note so you can match it up with the left half when you find it.

Although not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to set the Scanner, get the blue page, enter the small building and find the Myst book to return you to the Library , are covered. The walk through begins in the Everdune Age at the starting point. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island. You begin in the Rocketship, which locks shut behind you as soon as you leave it. Follow the ramp and then the path, past a small building. To enter the building you need to set the sliders on the lock to certain sounds, just as you had to set the sliders on the Rocketship to certain notes. The first puzzle in this age revolves around finding the correct "sequence" of sounds which is the combination to open the lock. Explore the island, you should find five different symbols, each with a red button in front of them. Press each red button as you find them. This "turns on" the radios that broadcast the sound through the satellite dishes above them. You will also find a blue page which you need to take with you. The final location is the Scanner, reached by following the tunnel at the bottom of the ladder which is in front of the symbol for "Wind". Open the Scanner by clicking on the doors. Inside is a screen, a numerical readout, five buttons with the same "sound symbols" you found around the island, a large, red "enter" button and two directional buttons. Press one of the sound symbol buttons, then "tune" the Scanner using the directional buttons, finding the sound that matches the selected sound symbol by lining up the radio satellite dish, located where you found the symbol, in the viewfinder. One of the two directional buttons will flash when you are close, this helps "fine tune" the sound until it is clear (you will hear the sound through the scan ner speakers). When it is clear (neither button flashes) press the big red "enter" button to lock in the coordinates. Do this for all five sound symbols (some you cannot see due to the mist on the island, just scan around and listen for the sound). When you enter the last symbol's coordinates with the red button, the Scanner will play back all the sounds in a certain order. This order of sounds is the combination to the "sound lock" to the small building. Set the sliders on the small building "sound lock" to the proper sounds in the correct order and press the button. Enter the building and make your way to the strange vehicle. Enter the vehicle and sit in the pilot seat. Press forward and the vehicle will be set onto the tracks of an underground rail system. At each stop, you can only go in certain directions, using the right and left arrow keys to turn to each direction and the forward button to move in the correct direction. The correct sequence of directions is:Start - N, W , N, E, E, S, S, W, SW, W, NW, NE, N, SE. You will be at the end of the rail system. Leave the vehicle and follow the corridor to the Myst book that transports you back to the Library. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc. Copyright 1994 Broderbund Software, Inc, and Cyan, Inc.

If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island. You begin on the rear deck of the ship. Make you way along the pl anks to the small island with the umbrella on it. There are three swiches here. The first one pumps the water out of the ship, the second pumps the water out of the tunnels and the third pumps the water out of the lighthouse basement. Press the th ird one and return to the ship. Follow the planks to the lighthouse. Go down to the basement and turn the spigot on the chest so that the water runs out of it. Close the spigot and return to the switches by the umbrella. Turn on the second switch, clearing the way into the tunnels and flooding the lighthouse basement. Return to the lighthouse, the water will have floated the chest up to the boards. The key chained to the boards in front of the ladder will open the chest when you click on it. Inside the chest is the key to the trap door above the ladder. Open the lock with this key and climb up to the top of the lighthouse. Turn the generator handle to charge the batteries. (You will have to return here to do this anytime the lights go out during your stay in this age.) There is a level indicator on the battery to see if it is fully charged. Go to the tunnels and search the bedrooms at the bottom of each. You should find a red page, a blue page, and the left half of a note. Write down the words on the note so you can refer to it when you find the right half. There is a typo (believe it or not) in the note. Substitute the word "on" for the word "off" in the third line from the bottom. On one of the landings in the stairways leading down to the bedrooms is a secret panel. Find it and open it. Inside is a compass surrounded by buttons. To determine which button to press, find the stairs leading to the top of the island and the spy glass on a stand. (Be s ure the battery in the lighthouse is fully charged before going up.) Look through and, using the "hand", rotate the view until you find the lighthouse (which should be blinking). Note the degrees indicated on the viewfinder. Return to the compass in the secret passage. Press the button that corresponds to the number of degrees of a circle that the lighthouse was at in the spy glass. The correct button lights the underwater lamp, which illuminates this chamber, and the ship cabin. Return to the switches by the umbrella, turn on the one that pumps out the ship cabin, and go to the ship. Enter the cabin and make you way to the table at the lowest level. Clicking on the table will cause the Myst book that transports you to the Library t o appear. Use it to return to the Library and put the page in the book of the same color. Reading the book will give you part of the story.

Not all details are covered, but the main points required for discovering the clues to the Myst books on the island are included. You arrive on the island at the dock. Follow the dock to the end by the switch, go up the stairs and turn left. Follow the path to the stairs at the end. Turn right and go up the stairs. You will find a note on the grass in front of the r ound granite building. The note tells you about a chamber near the dock and what to do there. You need to know how many marker switches are on the island. The switch at the end of the dock was a marker switch and they all look the same. Explore t he island and count the switches, turning them "on" as you go. You should be able to turn on all but one of the switches. One is located in a place you cannot get to yet, but you can see it. Return to the dock and look for a small door near where you first entered Myst. Clicking on the door will open it. Follow the corridor to a chamber. In the chamber is a large round device with a button on it. Turn until you are facing back toward the stairs and notice the small panel to the left of the stairway. Click on it to move closer. There is a list of settings on the panel, and a small button in the top left corner. Pressing the button c auses the panel to open, revealing two numbers in windows and two sets of small up and down arrow buttons. Clicking on the arrow buttons allows you to set the two digit number in the windows. Set the two digit number to the number of marker switches on the island, then press the button in the lower right hand corner to close the panel. Go to the large round device and press the button on it. The message will then play, giving you part of the story. Exit the chamber the way you entered and make your way to the Library, the square, granite building next to the round granite building in front of which you found the note. Inside the library you will find a red book and red page, a blue book and blue page, three paintings, a bookcase and a fireplace. Take the red page and put it on the red book. Reading the book will give you part of the story. Do the same with the blue book and blue page. Examine the painting of the island. There is an outline of the major structures and features of the island on the painting (if you turned on the marker switches) and a flashing circle. Click and hold on the flashing circle and a line will b egin to rotate around the circle. The line will turn red and pause at these points: the large gears on top of the hill near the dock, the sunken boat's crow's nest, the large tree, and the rocket ship. Stop the red line on the large gears. You wi ll hear the sound of the tower rotating. Go to the painting that shows stairs leading to a corridor and click on it. The painting will swirl and the bookcase will open to reveal a secret passage. Follow the secret passage to an elevator and take the elevator to the tower. In the tower you will find two ladders. One leads to a narrow window that shows you what you have aimed at. The other, located behind the elevator, leads to a clue, bolted to the wall, that is needed to access the Myst book at the location the tower is aimed at. Return to the library, rotate the tower to the next spot where the line goes red and pauses, return to the tower through the secret passage, and get the clue for this Myst book location. Repeat this process until you have all four clues. Once you have all the clues and are back in the library, click on the painting that shows an open doorway. This closes the secret passage and reopens the library exit. Before leaving, examine all the books in the bookshelf. While most are burned, some are not. The ones which can be read contain valuable clues and some actual maps which you will need during the various Ages. One book contains hundreds of drawings of squares in patterns. Leave this book alone for the moment. The last item in the library, the fireplace, comes into play later during the endgame. Myst is a trademark of Cyan, Inc.

The Hack List Newsletter ──────────────────────── We'd like to introduce you to a new disk-based newsletter, offered to people interested in the legal distribution of commercial software. Com- mercial can mean either software sold through retail stores or as regis- tered Shareware programs sold directly to users. This newsletter can give you a means to let others in the industry know what programs are being distributed illegally, or you can simply find out about illegal programs. The Hack List Newsletter contains a compilation of illegal programs found on BBS's, in Shareware catalogs, and even on CD-ROM's. It currently contains over 318 BBS filenames, over 131 Commercial program names, and over 101 illegal files found on 28 different Shareware CD-ROM disks. Also included is information about Federal Copyright Laws and how it affects the distribution of software, along with Hack List News, which features legal and other current news of interest. If you're a Shareware distrib- utor, you'll be able to spot commercial, hacked, and cracked files, or be able to decide whether you can legally distribute them. If you're a pub- lisher, you can inform others about the illegal distribution of software. We also have a condensed version just for Shareware vendors and those who don't need the entire Newsletter. It's simply a printout of programs, and other info, for use in comparing to programs already in catalogs.

It was a puzzle the programmers put in to waste your time and frustrate you. Move on. 2.) "Zaphod Beeblebrox" is the code. Type it exactly as it looks when you start the games at the sphinx board.

But, almost every CD ROM supports soundblaster (for not say all). I have already a Gravis Ultrasound, and I like to keep it. Is it possible to connect both soundcards (if I buy a soundblaster) to the CD-ROM or maybe you can switch soundcards by writing a batchfile? Or, should I sell my Ultrasound card? And, what CD-ROM do you recommend.

They've been rated by PC Magazine, I believe and they turned out to be as good as or worse than an optimized double-speed. If you DO get a CD-ROM now, I would suggest a SCSI double-speed; the Chinon 535 was rated the best in a recent computer mag. Nice if you have a SCSI adaptor. Otherwise, a proprietary interface isn't bad; Sony and Panasonic as well as Mitsumi make decent ones. Make SURE you get at least a double speed tho! Good luck...

You only need one of them to run up to 4 Panasonics, the drive ID jumper on the back of the 562 will determin the drive ID. You will have to make sure that the card driving the Mitsumi, and the one driving the 562's are using a different IO address. I dont know of anyone using two different drive types suscessfully but I'll give it a shot. First well get the 562's going. Use /D:mscd001 only, and add /N:2 after before your /V. This tells MSCDEX how amny drives (562) you have. If you get through that you will need to run the other one on a second driver for the mitsumi with a matching address that the sound card is using for it, and add /D:mscd002 to the MSCDEX. This is only a guess, but I'm sure you need 2 software drivers for the different drives, and fo course change the /N:2 to /N:3. -> /M:15 /V /E -> -> MSCDEX does report during bootup that all three drives are initalise -> one is a mitsumi 1x and the 2/3rd are the 562Bs. It also report /D:MS -> being used by both the ID0 and ID1 drives and everything looks swell -> do a dir and can only list the contents for drive ID0 (* even dir ID -> the contents of what ID0 has *). I'm really stumped on this one as I' -> like to free with one slot, right now I'm using both panasonic 8bit i -> only one supports multidrive though. The mitsumi is driven by my ATI -> card. You will not be able to chain the 3 drives on the same controller. Different pinouts.

Sort of. I took 100 slides to my local LazerQuick shop and had them put on a PhotoCD. The cost was US $9.95 for the disk, and 59 cents per slide. They can also scan 35mm negatives. Call 800-937-9196 for more info. Note: I'm not connected with LazerQuick in any way. I'm just a satisfied customer. MJ> What kind of software does this require? Many programs are available, including a display program from Kodak (see below). Tempra has another cheap display program. If you want to manipulate the images to change contrast, color saturation, sharpness, etc. you will need more expensive image processing software. MJ> How is the resolution? Each image is stored in a highly compressed form on the CD. They seem to average about 4.5MB per picture. The images unpack in a 24 bit (16.7 million colors) format. You can unpack an image in 5 different sizes. Here's a table: Name Size Thumbnail 128x192 Small 256x384 Medium 512X768 Large 1024x1536 Full 2048x3072 (also called "Poster" size) The "Full" image size is really big. Unpacking an image of this size results in an 18MB file (2K x 3K x 3 bytes). My software reports the resolution as 1469 DPI for all image sizes. Most viewing software will unpack an image and then dither the 16.7 million colors in the image to the 256 colors that most video cards can display. Image processing software such as Adobe PhotoShop will operate directly on the 24 bit images. You can apply many darkroom techniques and special effects with such software. MJ> Is it easily converted to GIF? I believe most of the viewing software can save the images in several formats. GIF format seems to be very popular. The more expensive image manipulation software can perform conversions to even more formats. To get started, call Mike Shannon at Starvector Software at 800-801-ROMS and order one of the following CDs: KODAK PHOTO CD ACCESS US $13.90 TEMPRA ACCESS PHOTO CD SOFTWARE US $12.90 I have seen a demo of the Kodak software. It seems pretty slick. I think both of the above packages come with several demo images. You might order one of these packages before you spend big bucks on a custom photo CD. Note: you can start with just a few images and later add more. LazerQuick charges US $4.75 to mount an existing disk and append new images. There is a limit of 100 images per disk.

I run only 2 x paddle boards and no sound card. Each paddle card can run up to 4 CD Roms ( 4 x double spin OR 1 x single spin and 3 x double spin). You have to define the drive positions and the type of rom drives in each position. Line 3 above defines one paddle card using port 300 with the 1st drive (Drive 0) a single spin, with positions 2 and 3 as double spin cd roms. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE SINGLE SPINS BE RESTRICTED TO ONE EACH PER CARD. For the Sound Blaster pro sound card you use the line below:- basedev=sbcd2.add /p:220 /n:0 /d:1 etc as above.

MJ> What kind of software does this require? MJ> How is the resolution? Is it easily converted to GIF? To answer your question, you just go to your local Kodak photofinisher and tell them you want you roll of film developed and transferred to PhotoCD, or bring them developed negatives or slides for that purpose. Other independent, mail-order photofinishers, such as Dale Laboratories in Hollywood FL, also offer PhotoCD transfer services. Unless you intend to do the PhotoCD transfers yourself (which would entail investment of a considerable sum of money, and requires a hardware platform with considerably more punch than PCs yet have), software comes into the picture only when you decide you want to access/edit/view or print the images. As long as your CDROM drive is multisession capable, (i.e., PhotoCD ready: this is necessary if you don't have an entire disc completely filled at one time, only if at a later date you return to the photofinisher with additional images. These new images would have to be appended to what's already been written to the disc, with new directories.) all you would need is a program that can access those images from the disc. A short list would include MicroGrafx Photomagic, Aldus PhotoStyler, HiJaak Pro for Windows, Microsoft Publisher V2.0 and Fauve Matisse. This list is by no means all inclusive, as more applications are being released daily with support for PhotoCD built in. Just about any program designed for photographic editing, and an increasing number of desktop publishing applications, can at least read and print, if not allow you to edit, PhotoCD images. What's unique about the PhotoCD file format (extension .PCD in DOS) is that each .PCD file contains a single image at five different resolutions: from thumbnail size to approximately 10x15", and in both 24-bit color and greyscale. So in effect, each .PCD image file is like a "colony" of 10-different files: Resolution Pixels Print Size @ 204 DPI ========== ========== =========================== Base/16 128x192 Thumbnail (.62 x .92") Base/4 256x384 Wallet (1.88 x 1.25") Base 512x768 Snapshot (3.77 x 2.50") Base*4 1024x1536 5x7" (7.53 x 5.01") Base*16 2048x3072 10x15" (15.05 x 10.04") Remember that each of these resolutions is stored in both 24-bit (16.7 million "TrueColor") and greyscale within each .PCD file, and that each .PCD file contains all of these resolutions for one original image. Resolution of printed .PCD images is magazine quality, if your output device supports it. I've been quite pleased printing to a Canon BJC-600 on plain bond paper. I normally work with Base*4 resolution for printed images to fill half of a letter-sized page, or smaller. If your intent is solely to display images on a VGA screen, Base or Base/4 resolution may be better suited for your purpose. Keep in mind that the higher the resolution you choose, the longer it takes to load, and the more system resources it requires: memory, and disk--if you save a copy of the image or a modified version of it on your hard disk in another file format. You can buy a PhotoCD player (which doubles as a high-end audio CD player) that hooks into your TV, as well. That means that you can start replacing your photo albums with PhotoCDs. Once a PhotoCD has been filled, you can send it back to your photofinisher to have a duplicate made. So if you wanted to, you could send a copy of your entire digital photo album to a friend or relative, provided he or she has a properly equipped computer or a PhotoCD player. The higher-end PhotoCD players will let you rotate, crop and even change the sequence in which images are presented from your discs, unlike film-to-videotape transfers. Also unlike film-to-tape transfers, you don't have to worry about dropouts or damage resulting from tape stretch or brittleness. I know that both PhotoMagic and Hijaak Pro will allow you to save an image you've loaded from PhotoCD to your hard disk in GIF, 24-bit TIFF, and other formats. BTW, I'm presuming that you're running either Windows or OS/2 on your system. You'd need one of them to run the applications I've named. Several MAC applications support PhotoCD as well.

Ok, the Sound Blaster uses an 8bit interface, and an 8 bit DAC (8 bit sound) and can only produce mono sound. The SBPRO has a 16bit interface with an 8bit DAC. It can produce stereo sound up to 22khz, mono up to 44khz. The Soundblaster 16 has a 16bit interface and a 16bit DAC so it produces sound up to 44khz for mono and stereo. The SB16 basic will let you hook up a Creative Labs CD-ROM. The SB16 MCD will allow you to hook up Mitsumi, Sony, and other makers CD-ROMs. The sb16 SCSI lets you hook up any SCSI drive. an SB16 with ASP has a proccessor to take the burden off the computer proccessor when playing audio files, so it can also use hardware compression for your files. The SB AWE 32 uses wavetable synthesis which means it has actual digital recordings of instruments in ROM instead of the lousy midi sound from current cards which "make" sound from instructions on how it should sound. The AWE 32 comes with 512k mem, and can be expanded to 22meg. The Waveblaster adds wavetable synthesis to the SB16 series with 4meg of samples. Media Vision cards produce comparable output, however compatability can be a problem. If the software supports a PAS 16 your fine, but if not, it's SB support is iffy. (Is iffy a real word?) It can only produce mono SB output, and not all programs will work properly. Newer GUS cards use wavetable as well, but support is lacking. Many programs will be without GUS support for months until patches are released. But if you really like the card, there's no reason why not to go with it. As for Media Vision, their in court, and may be going out of business. So, if you have any problems, there may be nowhere to turn. I hope this answered some of your questions, if you have any more, feel free to ask.

No matter what I try, I cannot get my DOS 6.2 to > cache my CD ROM drive. I always get "unable to cache drive E" (or D if > I set it up as D, I've even tried that). Hmmm .... SmartDrv caches my Sony CDROM just fine, and I also use 386^Max under MSDOS 6.20. Here are some thoughts: o You have to load MSCDEX *before* you load SmartDrv in AutoExec.Bat. This is so SmartDrv can recognize the CDROM. o Use SmartDrv, not Qcache. Qcache may not support CDROMs. o Check the versions of MSCDEX (2.23) and SmartDrv (5.0), to make sure you have a "matched" pair. o It's worked for me under 386^Max versions 6.02 and 7.00, both under DOS 6.20. If I were a betting man, I'd guess you have MSCDEX coming after Smartdrv. If so, move it in front.

This "rule" was worded like this because we (me and Bob Hall) *tried* to give the dealers some flexibility in how they promote their products - we tried to show them some respect, but it didn't work. We're through being nice guys. Here are the new rules for advertising in the CDROM echo: 1. ADS MUST BE A MAXIMUM OF 10 LINES. 2. DEALERS SHALL NOT POST MORE THAN 1 AD PER WEEK. 3. DEALERS SHALL NOT POST MORE THAN 3 MESSAGES PER WEEK. These rules will be *strictly* enforced. Anyone violating these rules will be prohibited from participating in this echo (aka FEED CUT). There will be no warnings and no sob stories accepted. Enforcement of these new rules will be swift and decisive - there will be no exceptions. For those who want advertising, read the CDROM_SALE echo. If this echo isn't available on your BBS, ask your sysop to pick it up. If your sysop can't pick it up, contact the local NEC and he should be able to make the necessary arrangement (it's on the backbone).

Tell you what though, you can call our support BBS directly and download it, or if you have a Fido type mailer, you can file request it with the magic name of PROFIT. Our BBS number is 602-770-0008 Our FiDo Node Number is 1:300/46 The packaging is very discreet and has no pictures that imply adult material. You do have to remember though that the title's name may be indicative of content. Less obvious of content is the FAO and FAO Gold CD's. The publisher refers to them as having wife proof labels. And to answer your other question, no we do not sell mailing lists. If I can answer any other questions for you Rob, drop me a line. Hope to be doing business with you soon.

The only way you can put this info on a CD is to have a CD manufacturing facility press the CD-ROM or you could have a WO disc made; however, this requires the use of relatively expensive equipment. I would not advise either of the two at this point because you are only talking 31 megs. A CD-ROM can hold very easily 680mb of information. If you are sincerely interested in having a ROM disc pressed, make a backup of all the files you would want on a ROM and when you get an extensive backup file like maybe 400-500mb of information, then the cost of information on the disc would be much more feasible.
