Level 2 w MSDOS? Message #91035
From: Syndesis CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 August 3, 1994 2:13 PM
I've got an ISO Level 2 CDROM that I'd like to be able to use on an MS-DOS machine. There's a couple long directory and filenames on the disc that don't work well with MS-DOS. For example, there are directories named like "VEHICLES_LAND" "VEHICLES_AIR" and "VEHICLES_SPACE". These all appear as…

From: Mark Solomon CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 17, 1993 1:09 PM
Thank you for response. The problem is evidently EMM386. Any suggestions on what parameters to try. Must have expanded memory.
TELEPHONE CD-ROMS? Message #52955
From: John Ausland CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 17, 1993 1:06 PM
There seem to be several telephone CD-ROMS on the market. I am interested in getting one to use with DOS and preferably in a DESQVIEW window. I would appreciate suggestions as to which to get and where to get it, online. Regards, John Ausland/Oslo, Norway
CD-ROM test software? Message #52921
From: Edward Bauman CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 16, 1993 5:34 PM
I use Norton Disk Doctor to check all distribution disks before installing software. Not often, but once in a while, I come across a defective disk and have it replaced. Is there a need to do this with a CD-ROM disc? Is there a reasonably priced util for this? Should…
#52810– CDU31a .add for OS/2 2.1 Message #52898
From: Chuck Roman CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 16, 1993 10:39 AM
Mike, Can you give me some more specifics about exactly what you've tried with the 31A driver, and how it is failing? Are you trying to install OS/2 2.1 off of the CD-ROM, or do you already have it installed and you're just trying to add support for the 31A?…
Street Atlas question Message #52895
From: Robert Galbraith CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 16, 1993 10:14 AM
Do you know if the Street Atlas USA sold at the Price Club is the latest version? The CDRom is marked ED 1.0 with XMap, I heard they came out with a version that did not work very well and needed to be modified to work properly. Thanks
#52811– Pioneer 604x drive Message #52893
From: robin lake CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 16, 1993 9:20 AM
James, Thanks for taking the time to give me the info. Is there another driver also needed (in addition to MSCDEX)? I assume there must be an ASPI or proprietary driver. How much memory does it take? Does the "single disc" driver come with the drive? How much memory does…
#52727– DOS 6.0 Problems Message #52884
From: Glen Chapman CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 16, 1993 8:25 AM
Kevin. FYI the /L is optional, if omitted MSCDEX uses next available drive letter. Glen

Wendell, I have a tosh3401b and PAStudio16 running OS2v2.1 and it works fine. All the drivers you need come with the PAStudio. Good Luck! If you have any other questions, check out the OS2SUP forum. Jerry

#52557– No Audio CD on Mitsumi Message #52832
From: Paul Brace CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 15, 1993 5:08 PM
Are you trying to obtain audio through a sound card or from the line out/headphone socket? If you are trying via the sound card have you linked the output from the CD drive to the audio input socket on the sound card? Paul
#52463– Philips CM205 & OS2 Message #52815

Randy, Sorry for delay in replying and the fact that I don't have any further details. I've got some German PC magazines but the firm is not listed. Perhaps you could contact the original sender of the forum note? John Stapleford (Belgium)
#52802– Pioneer 604x drive Message #52811
From: James Lubin CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 15, 1993 1:24 PM
Robin, MSCDEX increases in size depending on the number of drives letters installed. I don't have EMS so I don't know if it would be smaller with the /E switch. The standard driver makes each disc a seperate drive. There is another driver that will use one drive, but you…
#52483– CDU31a .add for OS/2 2.1 Message #52810
From: Mike Koehler CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 15, 1993 1:23 PM
I found it in the OS2USER forum. Unfortunately, allow I have added it to my config.sys I still don't have access to the drive. There are no error messages. It just doesn't work. I suspect that there is something else I have to do.

From: robin lake CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 15, 1993 10:56 AM
Hal, Aaaarrrrgh! 130 kb! How can that be? Are you saying that MSCDEX takes up 130 kb or that there is another driver that goes with the -604 that take up that much? What are your MSCDEX command line switches? I was about to spring for a -604, but I…

From: chris brown CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 14, 1993 7:08 PM
Steven I would make sure that your audio cable from the drive to the controller is pluged in. Even if you don't use the audio out on the back the headphone plug will not work with out it. The cable is a very small cable with four wires. It may…

Bill, I just spent two weeks looking at the same error message trying to install the OS/2 2.1 update from my Creative Labs CD-ROM drive. Don't despair. It will work. You need to download the beta drivers from either the Creative Labs BBS or here on CompuServe in either th…

#52685– DOS 6.0 Problems Message #52727
From: kevin kelly CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 14, 1993 8:46 AM
Mark, I'm sorta surprised it works at all; at the least, you need to specify the drive letter for the CDROM with the /L: switch for mscdex. To make the drive respond as E: (presumably, if you have one HDD and are using doublespace from dos6, both C: and D:…

#DOS 6.0 Problems Message #52685
From: Mark Solomon CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 7:12 PM
After I installed DOS 6.0 on my clone (Midwest Micro Elite), my CD software stopped working. Microsoft Library, for example, loads the opening screen and begins to access the drive, but responds to any search that there were no matches for the criteria entered. There are apparently equivalent problems with…
#52424– Sony CDU-31A – NT driver Message #52678
From: Alan Gore CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 3:00 PM
I have the 486-66 with the VESA bus, and you apparently have the EISA bus. I don't know whether my pathto getting the CDU31A running under NT is going to work for you.
#52623– WIN3.1 % MSCDEX Message #52677
From: Randy L. Poser CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 2:53 PM
I can only guess. You didn't say that you saw the 'MSCDEX' in memory. The DOS 6.0 loadhigh command is strange. On my system, what it does is undefined if the program won't fit into high memory. Sometimes it loads the program low, and sometimes not at all. Try removing…

#52051– #Pioneer 604x drive Message #52652
From: James Lubin CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 3:06 AM
Hal, You might want to try the DRD608 driver. It lets you use all 6 disc of the 604x as 1 drive letter. You just use the xdisc program to select which disc is active. I don't use EMS so the /e switch doesn't help. The DRD608 driver is on…

From: ed jackson CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 1:32 AM
Jack, You're right about ST:M – though it was not causing problems with Groliers, it did hurt video in some games my daughter likes (esp. Mission to Mars). Current system (after major thrash) is unstable with Stealth anyway… Thanks –ed
#52047– #604X nogo Groliers audio Message #52644
From: ed jackson CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 July 13, 1993 1:32 AM
Glen, I talked to Groliers tech support, and they recommended changing irq on mvsound.sys line to Q:5. That totally locked my system, and, apparently did something bizarre, perhaps damaging other hardware, as my primary (esdi) harddrive cannot be seen when boot from floppy. Still no sound through the PAS from…
