Does anyone where I can get drivers so that my Adaptec 1542B SCSI controller can talk to my Sony CDU-6211 CD-ROM under DOS 6 and Windows ?
Dumb Question
Message #52951
Hello Everyone I am new to the CD-ROM world by the fact that I need Census information off of a 200meg text CD-ROM file. The CD-ROM works cuz I can read smaller text files. What am I supposed to use to read the BIG ONES???? In windows perferably. Dale 🙂
DISCIS mem reqmt-s
Message #52947
Is anybody successfully running any of the DISCIS Kids Can Read series under Windows? I tried to install one (from DOS) and it said I don't have enough lower memory to run it… even though I tweaked around to get it to recognize 543k. Good grief… how much does it…
Steve, I'll give you a call sometime next week. Thanks, Barry
Brian: Two that I know of: 1. There's a file VIDST.ZIP that has a program called VID_TEST.EXE that will test your CD-ROM's capability with a .avi file. I downloaded from CIS but I don't remember where. You should be able to find it using BROWSE. It doesn't gove you very…
Two that may help are Support-on-Site and Microsoft's new TechNet. They are both CD-ROM's that are sent out monthly.
>> CIS may not be far behind. Well it would make sense! Even for all the people who are not on CompuServe, after all howmany people buy shareware CD-ROMS? Regards Graham >>> in the U.K.
Malcom, yes, that right. BTW, how many answer did You get to Your message? WErner
Sorry, no source on the labels, but Avery is bound to make something that will work OK.
Hello Holger, UPC is a 'can', not a 'must' in the CD-Subcode-Channel Q. Also there is no definition for track-titels or the cd-titel in the subcode. Hans-Gunter
Hi Werner, Can't hurt looking into visualization techniques. After all, athletes and others in the medical field use them. Thanks. -Malcolm.
Randy, EMAIL me a phone number/address and I'll get a sales person to contact you. We did a four disc series a few years back. We don't activly market them but they are still available. Glen Chapman – Online Computer Systems
Ziff-Davis markets Computer Select, Support on Site and Support On Site for LANs. Check over on Ziffnet for details.
Thanks, Paul, I think that's what I'll be doing, too. Now I wonder why don't the CD manufacturer put all the song's titles somewhere on the CD… would make programming a CD player so much easier.. Holger
Brian, You can get a CDROM disk called "MPC Wizard" at your local Egghead store for about $10. It has some utilities and some tests for MPC compatibility, including speed. It also has some beautiful pictures with music. -John
Are you sure it's a Compuserve file? CIS filenames are six alphanumeric characters max, I think.
You can get the SBPRO card to play a mitsumi cd by using the external connectors and adding a /LINE:12 swith to the autoexec.bat line \sbpro\sbp-set /m:nn ………Then it will work the sound from the i/o card of the cdplayers RCA jacks without having to use a Windows driver.
I had the same problem, I can get the cd to play sound through the SBPRO card by using an external jumper from the mutsumi RCA jacks to the SB card imput jack . Loading up a Windows utility called CDplayer from PC mag,(nov 24,92) to initialize the driver,the CD…
CD ROM Distributors
Message #52853
Richard: Here's something you can probably answer off the top of your head– or refer me to the right library. Who are the top 6-12 CD ROM publishers in the US? I need their names, addresses, and perhaps contact information. Any suggestion you might have as to where I would…
My number is 800-445-8633 or 718-343-1040 x136. I am the engineering manager for a large CD-ROM drive manufacture.
#CD Speed Benchmark Util.
Message #52845
I'm looking for a CD-ROM performance-checking utility. I've heard that Microsoft has something called "CDSPEED", but I can't seem to find it. Can someone tell me where to find this (or similar) utility?
How sweet!!! Thank you!! Kathy Cochrane
No worries, if only the world was full of Kathy's eh! She really does put a lot of effort into these Forums.. Cheers Paul
The answer is in the gamer's forum, section 4. If the message scrolled off already, I have it saved. Also check the library. There are text files in there about the game. Barry
Steve, What's your number ? Are you affiliated with Toshiba in anyway, since you're offering me the full docs? I'm not sure if faxing them to me would be such a great idea. The people I work for frown on activity like that, unless I'm actually at the fax machine…
#Safety Training by CDROM
Message #52836
I am looking for one or several vendors of CD ROM interactive training packages that train my employees in hazard communication (right to know), lock out / tag out, confined space, emergency response, etc. These programs need to pre test, teach & post test employees, document their test scores, and…
List of CD suppliers
Message #52833
It was suggested that I D/L a file called productlst.txt for the above list. How come I can't find it anywhere?
When I was developing CDPlayer, I spent some time trying to use the UPC as a means of identifying the CD which had been inserted. The problem is that not all CDs have the code stored on the disk and it is therefore not a guaranteed method to use. I…

PC/LAN Help Desk Support
Message #52808
I need help in trying to find a CDROM based expert database that would support answering general PC questions, Novell Netware questions, and Microsoft Windows questions. This would support our help desk where we try to help users who phone in with a variety of questions relating to using the…
Ryan, One thing you'll miss is the debut of John Foust's 3D-ROM CD (which I'm publishing for him). It's a collection of freely distributable 3-D image clipart and textures that's usable on Mac, PC, and Amiga in several different programs. Neat stuff!! John frequents this forum, so you might ask…
How about a public reply! I can't figure out the cans either! Brent
Jordi: There was conversation here about Verbum within the last couple of weeks, it appears they are no longer in business, but no one can seem to get enough info even to confirm that. Sorry! Best – Rich Bowers
if you would like full docs for the 3401 give me a call at work. I'll fax the 3401 and MSCDEX code to you. Happy programming.
#7th Guest
Message #52775
Does anybody have the CD-ROM game "The 7th Guest"? I need help on the cans puzzle in the kitchen. Please reply back through my private e-mail. Thanks.
Glen, I'll be looking forward to it. Though I'm not a code programmer, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. I've got enough books around here! Barry
Dave, Yes, I'm using MSCDEX. I'll take another look in the 4 page long manual and see if there's anything about the MSCDEX driver, but I don't think so. Thanks for the reply! Barry
#Subscription Verbum
Message #52766
Please, we want to subscrip to the VERBUM INTERACTIVE CD-ROM MULTIMEDIA MAGAZINE. Can you send we any information about it? Thank you very much
I'll let you know if I found a solution. Martin
Thanks Donald, I'll check things out and if I have found my solution I let ALL of you out there know…. Martin
hi martin, i have the same problem. Did you have now a solution or the pinning of the sounblaster-interface. thomas
Hi Ryan, go to ASOFT and findout over there, Siggraph is all about animation, modeling etc. ken
Barry, >>Are eject codes standard for all drives ?
If you're using MSCDEX there is a call to make to the driver that causes the disc to eject. Don't remember it off of the top of my head. If you're going raw SCSI, the 3401 uses the standard SCSI Start/Stop Unit command to eject the disc. Opcode of 0x1B…

Developer's toolkits
Message #52696
Are there any good developers toolkits for developing Windows or DOS applications for multimedia systems? Where can I find out about them? Shelley
#EJECT CODE ?
Message #52686
Does anyone know of any software code/routine that I could use to eject a disk out of the Toshiba 3401B? Are eject codes standard for all drives ? I want to use a batch file to call a routine that will eject the disk upon exiting a program. I launch…
Darn it, Lindley, I forgot to give you Softec's number. It's 1-800-779- 1991 Hope Europe was nice, Bob
Lindley, Here's some information. Megamedia advertises a 3401b with a trantor t-130b controller, a caddy, SCSI cable and San Diego Zoo, the Animals for $479. It's a good price, because the Trantor card usually costs $79. This means the Tosh costs about $400. The same company advertises a 3401B with…
