#30396 #Multiple CToolBars Message #30405
I think you'll find the CTRLBARS sample in the MFC\SAMPLES directory has a couple of toolbars as well as a floating one. It also shows one of them being dynamically changed to add and remove buttons etc. Robin
#30296 Remove Menu Bar? Message #30308
Thanks for the C++ lesson (no, really!), I hadn't come across the technique of declaring a public function in a derived class simply to 'expose' a protected member of a base class. Appreciate the help. Robin

Tony, Do you mean: CDR101: No ready reading drive Z? when you try a DIR? As far as I can see this is the same thing as the "Drive not ready" you get if you DIR A: without a floppy. (BTW, 4DOS simply says "CD-ROM not ready"). When you power…

Bryan, I don't have OS/2 installed yet, awaiting GA after removing the beta, so can't check the final version, but to answer some of your questions: 1. As far as I can see the driver doesn't make the CD look like a SCSI device, it provides the same system services…

Mike, Can't say I understand _what_ got fixed, but glad to hear it _did_ get fixed . Robin
#51325- #CD-Rom, Sound Bd IRQ Message #51373
From: Robin Collins CDROM Forum · Drives/Hardware June 25, 1993 3:42 PM
Kenneth, It'll be almost a miracle if you manage to find out which jumpers to set, in the absence of any documentation. I found myself in the same position and in the end had to spend a few $ on a new card just so I got the specs. FYI,…
#51282- #drive mapping Message #51372
From: Robin Collins CDROM Forum · Drives/Hardware June 25, 1993 3:42 PM
Mike, As far as I can tell there is no relation between the buffers in the device driver and those in MSCDEX. Since I have the luxury of 20Mb I give 64 to both . In my case the Mitsumi driver uses XMS, while MSCDEX uses EMS, but there's no…
#51271- MITSUMI AND SOUND CARD Message #51371
From: Robin Collins CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 June 25, 1993 3:42 PM
Jim, PPMFJI, but the latest SBPro manual does show the audio socket pinouts, on page 13 of the Getting Started booklet, so at least it's possible to compare the SBPro and Mitsumi manuals and see the problem. Of course, if people just followed conventions already in existence we'd all be…

Jochen, >after a long fight against my purse, I won . I'm currently having my motherboard swapped for a VL-bus one and am trying to pursuade the dealer that giving a good trade-in price on my redundant cache controller and motherboard against a 3401/1522 is a good deal for him…

Jochen, I got the Mitsumi sort of free, though it's none the worse for that, but I've come to the conclusion that as a developer I need something which the 'big boys' support. Right now I reckon the Tosh. 3401 is _the_ drive, though my purse must be in the…

PMFJI, but there's now an UPDAT3.ZIP in LIB 4 here , beta version 4. This one apparently adds single-session photo CD support. Robin
#48507- Mitsumi and SCSI/OS2 ? Message #48932
From: Robin Collins CDROM Forum · DOS, Windows, OS/2 May 21, 1993 3:50 PM
Jochen, I haven't bothered with MS-DOS 6 so can't say whether there are any problems with the LU005S and that version of DOS, but I can't see any reason for there being any as long as you use the MSCDEX which shipped with DOS 6. As for OS/2, currently there…

Gary, My drive is called a CRMC on the box, whatever that is, and I've seen the same problems as you with this. Robin
#47613- #DMA & Mitsumi! Message #47652
From: Robin Collins CDROM Forum · Drives/Hardware May 4, 1993 1:47 PM
Dany, I for one don't see a problem. I use /T:5 quite happily, but I'm using IRQ 10 whereas you're using 11. I wonder if you have an IRQ conflict, which would only come to light when you use hardware-driven access? FYI, I use Stealth but don't use a DMA=…

Ken, Interesting, we must be seeing the same thing. Taking John Coan's suggestion I set exclusive and found something which may be significant. After setting 'exclusive' and when running full-screen the problem disappeared. I was also to start a SEARCH FOO *.* in a directory containing 350Mb of image files…

Can the Mitsumi be run off the non-SCSI port on an Orchid Sound Producer Pro? If not, does it make any difference for multimedia purposes that the CD isn't being run off the sound card? As you may be able to tell I don't really understand the interaction between the…

I'm finding that in Windows enhanced mode an operation from a DOS session such as TREE I:\ or SEARCH FOO I:\*.* for instance will start and then after a few seconds the system will seem to go into hibernation. This lasts for around 10 seconds, after which the CD springs…

Jerry, Point taken, multi-session is only useful if you can be sure that there's a cd reader around when you need it . Robin
