I will send you a price list ect via private e-mail. Cheers, Georges Brown CD Archive, Inc.
I am sure that when MS gives its seal it will mean that the programs really runs under NT not just … start the program o.k. we'll give you the sticker 🙂 We'll see, I really am curious how they are going to handle the long file names. Any input…
Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Jerry, >>$5,500 for a good label setup
I found a source for a recordable CD-Rom. I will be checking it out later this week. Thanks for your offer. I think it is going to work, but I will let folks here know when I find out for sure.
Brian, There are indeed products that will allow you to label your own discs. The cheapest of course is a stick on label. For the silkscreen type effect (not really silkscreen at all) you can expect to spend about $5,500 for a good label setup. That's a lot of custom…
Mike, Felix used to visit this forum a lot but I've not seen him around lately. He must still be on CIS as he promptly replied to my e-mail. Felix Nemirovsky 71672,3720 Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
#Sony update?
Message #116970
Just curious as to whether the new Sony drives are becoming readily available and if any problems have been encountered? Also saw an ad recently for a Mirror CD-R and it said it was a Sony mechanism. Wonder if this is the new one? Any info? Reg Harris
#Silkscreen kits for CD's
Message #116965
Does anyone know if anyone sells kits that will allow you to label your own CD via silkscreen. I know there are companies that will do it for you, but are there products that will allow you to create your own designs and do it yourself?? Thanks.
Georges, I am in the market for a CD-Recordable. Since I want the CD-R for backup, copying other CD's and producing Multimedia titles (but not on a high production level) I have been looking at the JVC 2X CD-R which comes with a 1GB SCSI hard drive or the Pinnacle…
"Felix Nemirovsky, an engineer with Plextor who really seems to know his stuff, told me that the only way to really be sure a player will work with CD-R is to send a CD-R from that recorder and have the player matched to the specific recorder. " Jerry, Very interesting.…
My pleasure… I don't 'monitor' this forum frequently, but do pop by from time to time. Please note there is a dedicated Toshiba forum on CIS that offers support on Toshiba notebooks and some of us help out on the CD-ROM drives (no official presence, yet). Stephen Feldman Team Toshiba…
Thanks for your input John. I will contact Pinnacle to see if I shoul upgrade the firmware. When you mention software upgrade, do you mean the premaster package? Which one do you use? Thanks Patrick
David, Before you buy the recorder you may want to check out the prices of having someone else make your discs for you. In many cases it's still cheaper to hire someone than buy the equipment and you get their experience too. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
From all the CDRom drives we have here in the office, the Toshiba's are for sure the most reliable… OTH, Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
>>how do Toshiba CD readers work in general? IMNSHO, Toshiba CD-ROM drives are the best, fastest, most robust and reliable drives available, and have been since 1989. (I still have two 3201s that work fine, and recently bought a 3501.) I've never had a problem reading CD-Rs in Toshibas. Congratulations…
Wow! Someone from Toshiba is actually monitoring this forum! I am very impressed — aside from the reliability and versatility of the drives, it's good to know that Toshiba cares, unlike some others who shall remain nameless… Welcome, and please stick around. Best regards, Deirdre' Straughan Incat Systems
David, If you'll email me your address I'll send you a CD-R to see what happens. I suspect it will work fine, though — in general Toshiba drives are very good (some say the best), although I'm not familiar with that particular model. Kathy
Patrick, Pinnacle decided my RCD200 (about the same age as yours) needed new firmware somewhere along the way, and I also kept up with the latest software upgrades (available from their BBS), but the thing that I think really got my problems down to a dull roar was replacing the…
You can download XCOMP.ZIP from the forum library. This is a program I wrote that is similar to DOS COMP, except that it spans subdirectories and produces a summary comparison report.
The internal CD-ROM drive of the T2155CDS supports the following: CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, Audio CD, Photo-CD, Multisession, CD-Bridge, CD-I, CD-I Ready, ISO 9660 compliant disc Stephen Feldman Team Toshiba – T2150CD Model Mentor 01/06/95, 9:00 EST
#Tosh T2150CDS read CDR?
Message #116863
I just purchased a Toshiba T2150CDS laptop with a built in CD. I really like the unit, but after reading some things on this forum I am concerned it will not read CDR. I don't have access to any CD-R discs right now, but I plan to buy a recorder…
Ok, Torsten, I got it now. A very valuable software I'm going to register ASAP! TVM, Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
If that's the case, I suppose that 3.0 "runs under" Windows '95 and the NT version will truly "support" it. We have made it clear to Windows '95 users what they're getting; I'll have the packaging checked on this (thanks for the tip, George). D'
Georges, Running under NT and supporting NT are two different issues. When someone claims to support an operating system, my understanding is that they run under it in native mode, not as a backward-compatible thing. Kathy
Torsten In the library of the CDROM Vendor B forum you can also find demos of the CeQuadrat CD recording software 'WinOnCD ToGo!' and 'Vulkan'. GO CDVENB or GO CEQUADRAT. Or call in Germany 0241-9631100. The sales people there can also provide you with information on CD recorders. Best regards,…
Pollyanne, you did not write, which software package you are using. If you are using WinOnCD ToGo! you can select the Verify option which will compare all files on your CD file by file using MSCDEX which I think is exactly what you are looking for. Sincerely Peter
I never read the press release I only looked at the outside of the box and it has that little gold thing that says It supports Win 95. Thanks for clearing this up. G'
I think almost any Windows 3.1 software is running under Windows '95. And Georges is right: According to Microsoft, a program that declares to be a Windows '95 program must also work under Windows NT otherwise it will not be certified by Microsoft. Sincerely Peter
Yes but as I am sure that you know to officially get the Win 95 Logo you need to run under NT. That is why I ask! G'
Hi Frederic, missed the right forum… it's in MULTIMEDIA. Torsten
Pollyanne, You could set your old subdirectory as a drive letter then compare the entire drive or you could get Disc Detective which will read every sector on the disc and will compare to image files. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.
Hi Frederic, look in the CDROMFORUM , it's COOL150.ZIP Torsten
>>Why does V3.0 of EZCD say that it supports Windows 95 if it doesn't run under NT… ?? Maybe because they are different o.s.?? Kathy
3.0 supports Windows '95 in 16-bit mode, which I believe is clearly stated in the press release. We will have another version out later this year which will be 32-bit, and will therefore support Win '95 in 32-bit mode as well as NT. Ciao, D'
#Compare after write CD
Message #116783
After you have written files to a CD, how do you compare the files and/or directory structure on that CD to the original file and/or directory structure? I had been using just the DOS file compare, but that does not span subdirectories. I'm looking for something else. Is there software…
Why does V3.0 of EZCD say that it supports Windows 95 if it doesn't run under NT… ?? Cheers, Georges

CD-I Authoring
Message #116767
CD Motion for CDi is a stand alone Windows authoring system used to create CDi titles. It requires no CDi player, no emulator or other expensive or complex hardware and no C programmer. All tools provided with CD Motion run on standard Windows systems. The tools include built in automatic…
John Mike Wright from Incat Systems USA. I have reported in a couple of places to Microsoft that Windows 95 and NT do not have drivers for reading from the CD recorder. The RCD 1000 is a SCSI-2 reader and should read multisession discs with a standard CD ROM driver.…
…… or you could buy a new recorder for around $2000US and do away with the two SCSI cards ect ect ect.. like the Philips, Plasmon and Kodak. They all are very reliable and have giant buffers… saving a lot of money in bad discs and almost more importantly headaches.…
CD Producer by American Infoscience claims to work under NT. I will be testing it this week with a Philips/Plasmon/Yamaha. I'll let you know what happens, Georges CD Archive, inc. http://www.cdarchive.com
Torsten, I've heavily used Sox on the Amiga… Any hint on where to grab Sox v1.50 (any machine!)? TIA, Fred. Frederic Botton from Paris, France fbotton@cix.compulink.co.uk
New Incat Materials
Message #116688
Lots of new stuff in the Incat library (GO INCATS) — error messages for all program components and CD recorders, data sheets on new products, etc. Happy reading! D'
Hi Torsten, Don't underestimate the importance of the software you choose. My advise is to try as many as posible and then select the package that is most suited to your needs. Most vendors will have demo versions of there software available. You can start by downloading a demo of…
Not until there's a driver for it, but I think that's the only thing you have to wait for — there's no hardware reason why any CD recorder shouldn't work under NT. Have you tried asking Pinnacle if they know of one? I'm looking into this in the meantime and…
Thank you for your response. Torsten Kohls 28-May-1995 16:40:29 CET Germany,CIS ID 100106,3322 Windows NavCIS PRO 1.62 (Deutsch) !N2
Deirdre, You're right, ASPICD.SYS does not work with NT. I take it from your reply that the RCD1000 will not as a reader under NT either? John
Well, you've still got a few other platforms to choose from: PC, Mac, CD-I, and (forgot to mention earlier) 3DO. Maybe some of the other game machines will support it, too. And, as I said, the Kodak players are available in Europe as a current item. Whether the technology has…
Dear Patrick, Whether or not you need or would gain anything by having two SCSI cards is open to debate; we've never seen any improvements in our own testing. You presumably have some version of the RCD-PC software that was bundled with the drive? If so, get it upgraded –…
