Yeah I know about that. I just hate proprietary controllers. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them and nothing but good with true scsi interfaced systems.
I suppose my bottom line arguement for anyone comtemplating a CD ROM purchase wouild be to getsomething that has a TRUE scsi or SCSI-2 interface. For instance if you want to put a proprietary interface card on something like os/2 or probably NT it will not work well/if at all.…
I do not know about the ultrastor, but any cd rom drive, from dos is going to have to have the cd rom driver specific for that card and mscdex.
I would no sooner buy a computer product from a NON COMPUTER dealer ….hmm let me not be ugly. Tell a little about the DAK drive? Speed, access time ext. Also what do you plan on doing with a CD? If it is only to look up troves of info…
Yeah I guess so.
At well over 300 dollars, I would not think of Sci Am Medicine as 'inexpensive'
It really depends on what you need to get you by I guess. I still use the good ole qmodem 4.2F that I registered(gasp) a few years ago. IBM ANSI emulation. 9600 helps, but usually logon at 2400 or (gasp) slower. Genie is limited, extremely compared to compuserve. Delphi, bahahahahah,…

Message #43172
Has anyone played the game, on CD Murder makes strange deadfellows? I have been for about a week now off and on and it's getting so damn old. Anyone know where the will is? I'm thinking of sending this disc back to Tiger Media and tellimg them what total waste…

DOS Audio CD Player
Message #42254
Does anyone know of a good DOS based CD Audio player, one that works with SCSI drives?
The best CD I know of is the Toshiba XM 3401B
Thanks for the reply. By High Performance I was referring to the quality of the CD Player. There is a significant difference as you know among CD ROM's in terms of data transfer as well as even their Audio replay capablities. I decided to get the Toshiba XM 3401b drive…
SCSI Controller/CD/2.1
Message #41431
Question is this: I want to get a GOOD SCSI controller that will work with OS/2 2.1 and some good CD ROM drives. The CD's I've wanted the most are the Toshiba's and the Texel's. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure if I should pipe in or not. I have a SONY CDU 531(aka dog drive) and a SB PRO. Battle Chess enhanced has a combo of CD Redbook sound and SB support. I have the SB going to the stereo and some little amp speakers on the…
SONY CDU531/OS/2
Message #38411
Just a note on making a Sony CDU-531 internal SONY BUS Drive work with OS/2 2.0. Perhaps I should type this up in more detail and upload it. At any rate…OS/2 has no support for these BUS cards. But if you have two hard drives you can put os/2 on…
So what it seems like you saying is that they are abondoning the person who paid the money for a product that works great. Jeesh..guess next time I'll buy an NEC
Just to throw in one more comment. If you could do something with Life Magazine as a place to start it might be really incredible. Or p perhaps National Geographic as they always seem to have such incredible photography in them and the stories would seem to lend themselves to…
OS/2 2.0 CD-ROM Audio
Message #38153
Hmmm. I have a Sony CD-531 drive…I was able to get it to work fine under a beta of OS/2 2.1 using the mscdex command line that I currently have in my autoexec.bat..I just put in the os/2 autoexec.dos? I have already deleted os/2 so I forget exactly where it…
Well this is probably not what you had in mind..but anyway..I am a Doctor and I would love to see some of the medical Journals come out on CD-ROM. Or perhaps some books with full color pics etc of a medical nature. And at the prices you menutioned..ie 4-10 dollars…
#SONY DRIVE SUPPORT?
Message #38150
I'm gonna try this here and then in the os/2 forum and see what sort of response I get. I have a Sony CD-531 internal drive and I am trying to see if I can get some support for it. First I wonder if there is an updated sys driver…
Yes I know about some of those from a professional stand point..there are several medical refs available..most are two expensive or are not the ones I would use if they were on CD
Well your VGA Card should have come with windows drivers..if it did not you might see if there is forum for the company or the Windows forums… Unfortunately there are so many it seems confusing where to send you these days…but you need a win 3.1 driver for your card…
Well thanks for the reply, but I see you seem to be have about the same access to titles as I have…I guess that I was hoping for more to be available on CD than there is..but I may take you advice and get the Bethoven disk as it is…
#Battle Chess/SB PRO
Message #31039
Has anyone had any luck getting the Battle Chess CD-ROM to work with Windows and have the sound work? I have it hooked up through my sound blaster..have all the SB Pro drivres installed as well as the CD audio driver drivers and MCI midi and cd audio drivers..still no…
Questions?
Message #30932
I am totally impressed with my Sony CD ROM drive which I got for 155.00 from a freind…it doesn't do all the MPC stuff, but for my interests..mainly medical searching etc, it is great…I purchased the Battle Chess Enhanced CD Version and Love it….running the sound through the stereo is…
SB Pro/Sony CD
Message #30850
I have a Sound Blaster Pro and a freind of mine loaned me a Sony Model Number CDU-531-01 cd rom drive. He had a floppy with the mscdex drivers etc and it works great with his interface card, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to…
