MultiMedia MicroVision
Message #21610
Todd Enterprises just announced their MicroVision system. Here's the description & pricing (If you mention Nimbus told you about it, you'll likely get a better discount): MultiMedia MicroVision A miniature CD-ROM data retrieval system 10×12" base, 13" high, 22lbs, durable black case, one-year warranty, 9" VGA color or monochrome screen,…
It depends if you're looking for REAL WORM cartride/drive info or what Write-Once CD's are… confusing, I know.
The literatur package is on it's way to you. Contact me for a list of people. 1-800-782-0778 or 1-804-985-1100 ext 414.
Well, yes. You could get the Phillips for $10,000, but then you also get three vendors to deal with instead of one (Phillips, whatever software company, whatever hard drive supplier). My past experience says it's better to support with a sole source than piece-mealing. Sixteen years in the computer industry…
Sure Kerry. Our fax number is 804-985-4625.
No. At this time we offer only three discs. We are a mastering facility and hve these as demo discs of our retrieval software. They are very good titles in my opinion. They are: Danger Hot Stuff! ROMware magazine Crossword Cracker
Hyperglot – 1-800-726-5087.
JVC – Jack Moran- 1-714-965-2610. Don't waste your money on anything else. The JVC system is the best. I've used all of them.
Hyperglot – 1-800-726-5087.
The total charge for Danger! is $8.00 which includes handling & shipping. We have two other offerings for about the same price, ROMware magazine and Crossword Cracker. $8.00 and $11.00 respectively. If you'd like to order any of them, call 1-800-782-0778 extension 412. Have your visa/MC handy.
Yes, I am. In my spare time (such as it is…)
Yes, Hyperglot has a series of languages available.
My price for 50 CDs *DONE RIGHT* 🙂 when premastered is $1200.00, by the way, if WE screw up, we re-do it free.
looks like you need the "device=" in front of the driver in your config.sys eq, DEVICE=ASPDISK.SYS /D:ASPICD0
John, a driver I'm working on for the Atari ST can also do the Mac HFS stuff.
Sure. There's megaROM, gigaROM, CD7, GEM (Generous Efforts of Many) and lots of others. Contact QLtech at 1-800-762-2877.
Marc!!! You forgot NIMBUS as a mastering facility!! 1-800-782-0778 ext 347. Larry Boden or Ernie Runyon
William, believe me, I've used them all and get all kinds here at our mastering facility. The best one hands down is Reference Technologies REFTAPE, followed closely by Micro Design's SCSI Express software. SYPLUS is another, and woks well, but I'd prefer the other two. Reference Technology: 1-303-449-4157 Micro Design…
No problems at all…
William, if you'll look in one of the several literature packages I've sent Activision, it explains it in detail…
There is a "flag" to be set in the ROMMAKER software that will allow the Mac attributes to be turned on. I've only done it once and it was long ago (January) and don't remember. It is undocumented in the current manual, but will be in the next release. You…

Premastering Subsystems
Message #20578
Kevin, I have used just about all of the CD-Write-Once systems except for the Phillips. I bought the JVC and very glad I did. The customer support is tremendous. The price of the Phillips is VERY deceiving.. You spend $6000 (retail), then need to add a 1.4GB hard drive, then…
Lee, the only CD's I know of that contains flags of the world is COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD and CIA WORLD FACTBOOK, both by Bureau of Electronics. The countries CD also has national anthemns and maps as well. Their number is 1-800-828-4766.

Yeah, That's what I meant!!! Thanks Matt!

#1 CDROM for PCs & Macs
Message #20570
You *CAN* share the data between platforms if you strictly adhere to ISO9660 standards. The data will be accessible to all major platforms. The executable programs *CAN* be put in an ISO9660 partition, but as I mentioned before in the case of a Mac, Amiga, Atari etc., CUSTOM icons will…
John, Nimbus has mastered many CD's for the Amiga/CDTV platforms. Everything from Fred Fish to CDTV Xenon and lots in between. If I can be of any assistance as far as mastering Amiga/CDTV Cd's and information on how to send the data to a mastering facility give me a claa…
Thank you. I was the one that premastered Great Literature and put the audio on. However, it was definately done as an ISO9660 format, not High Sierra. It is a VERY good product.
I am here. Just got back from vacation today. What offer was that?
Ian, We (NIMBUS) master "mixed-mode" discs alot. In fact, we were one of the first (if not THE first) to do it. If I can answer any questions for you, just call 1-800-782-0778 extension 412.
Might try contacting Todd Enterprises….
Nimbus. 1-800-782-0778. We do O-ROM. You need to talk to Emil Dudek.
Jim, contact Jack Moran at JVC. The number is 714-965-2610. Tell him Nimbus sent you. In my opinion, the BEST "one-off" system available for the money.
Yes. There are things you need to be aware of. Nimbus' CD-ROMs can hold 730MB reliably assuming the reader can read out that far. For practicality and most compatibility across readers, I'd suggest a rounded 700MB size CD. Now that 700MB has been established, you'll have to divide it up…
Buckmaster Publishing in Mineral, VA has the National Portrait Gallery of Washington, DC on CD. Might give them a call. 7030-894-5777
No. The ISO9660 format allows your data to be cross-platfom compatible. However, if you want all your nifty custom mac icons, then it's a different story. ISO uses the generic mac icons. Nimbus (and most other mastering facilities) can do a "hybrid" disc that has HFS and ISO on the…
There is a file in the DL section that lists them, but the Toshiba 3202, 3202 and Telex drives come to mind.
Once you have your data prepared, the next step is to get it pre-mastered. That means putting it in a ISO9660 CDROM format. Then a glass master needs to be made, that's called mastering. Once the master is produced, it's used to create copies from, called replication. Nimbus general pricing-…
Call us here at Nimbus. We can do a "one-off" CD for you for about $250.00
Advantage Plus in North Carolina has an outstanding PD/Shareware CD called Gamemaster. Their number is 919-362-5194. Ask for John Dilday.
I'll admit that Nimbus has absolutely the worst phone system I've ever had the displeasure of working with. It SUCKS. But, if you will call 1-800-782-0778 extension 414 (don't forget to ask for the extension!!!!!) you'll get me direct. We *ARE* rather busy here at times and under-staffed. And there…
Scott, I want to know who that someone was. Was it male or female? *I* am the contact here at Nimbus for the CD Sales. You *DO NOT* have to be a dealer to get the CDs. I'm sorry you reached an unpleasant person. Call and ask for me, Ernie…

Nimbus is now shipping the Danger! Hot Stuff CD. If you are a contributor, call Larry Boden at 1-800-782-0778 for your copy if you haven't recieved it yet. For those wishing to order it the cost is $5.00 So…. Nimbus is now shipping the following CD's: Danger! Hot Stuff -…
They are indeed.
It used to be available on CIS until about a week ago I believe… Microsoft does not charge for it. Unfortunately, I don't have their BBS number handy.
Yes, get MSCDEX 2.21 from Microsoft. Works without that cumbersome SET VER command.
Will do. The author demanded that we sell it for no more than $5.00 there in the interim.
Right you are Jerry. I had the pleasure of working with Xiphias on these projects. Fine people and very professional. These are HOT products!!!
Nelson, how about the Pro Audio Spectrum? It sells pretty good/
Thank for the plug Bob, but a few corrections. We provide ROMware, not dataware, BIG difference there. Also, the premastering fee is a flat $250 and mastering is $1150 and that's really our "standard" pricing not the introductory. Once again, thanks. Ernie.
If you're going to use it on a Mac only, then *NO* you will not be wasting your money at all. The MS-DOS world is an entirely different set of worries. Not to worry with the Mac…
