>(I know the drives aren't quite available, I just thought someone might have talked w/ Iomega, or seen a spec sheet, or something….)?< I don't know about the image, but here's some info on my beta unit. The one I have is a SCSI device, I can't remember if it…
Sorry I wasn't more specific Bob, While talking to Iomega last week, I was informed that PC Connections was taking orders by phone. I haven't called them to verify this. Good luck, Paul
Hi Robert, Try PC Connections. Paul
Sorry Jason, I don't have an answer for you. I have the feeling that it's related to the software you're using to create your videos, but I'm not sure. Paul
>But that is ISA, right?< That's correct Chris and it is still very fast. With your PCI SCSI-2 controller it should scream. Paul
>Any idea where to grip one?< Try calling PC Connections, they're supposed to be taking pre-release orders. Paul
>whole 1GB Jaz disk you would only get 4 minutes of video< I have used the JAZ w/ my 1.6 gig PAR drive and I can get approximately 10 min. of .ani's on to it. Your lower compression (granted, higher quality) does mean you'll get a lot less onto a…
#JAZ : Good Stuff !
Message #193808
Just wanted to let everyone looking for a good, fast storage solution that the JAZ drive from Iomega is something to think about. It's not out yet, but will be soon. I've been beta testing it for about a month under WIN95 and I have to say, for me, it's…
PAR access on WIN95
Message #190508
My bad Mike, As I reviewed the documentation and the photograph of the PVR and the TBC-IV card I see I was mistaken. The TBC-IV is a daughter card and connects directly to the PVR. It does require a full length slots area, but does not need a slot. It…
Hi Mike, Looks like you're getting a lot of good advice up here. This place sure is a great resource. The TBC-IV card does need a full length PCI slot (unobstructed). I hope you're right about the bugs and so on. I think someone mentioned the problem running the PAR…
Hi Mike, I believe you can use the PVR under WIN95, this was stated here in a message about a week ago. I'm not using Premier or Razor Pro. The latest Rev. of the DPS software adds some nice features that allow the user to do some conversion between .AVI…
Thanks for the info Tim, You're right, that is a pretty close price. Thanks for the info, I hope Mike reads your message. Paul
Hi Mike, No I haven't got it going inside of WIN95, but it runs fine from a DOS window and you can "alt tab" back and forth between windows and the PAR software, no problem. The problem of running the DPS software in WIN95 can't go on forever(I hope), but…
Hi Dave, I haven't got it going yet, but I am trying to get the NT drivers as David suggested. I am also in touch w/ DPS regarding this and hope to have a response by next week. I'll post to you as soon as I find anything out. Do…
I put a long message up a month ago regarding this problem. My results were the same as yours. My PAR drive is a mirror of my C drive, as far as directory structure is concerned. I am running the latest PAR software and have discussed this w/ Alex at…
Hi Scott, Just a quick note, my video monitor does not support the higher res of the PAR, so it crops the image a little. Are you viewing the image on a monitor that can support the PAR's resolution? Don't know if this applicable, but I thought I'd mention it.…
Hi Jez, Should be a simple problem to correct. When 3DS takes in geometry from Acad, it doesn't always create the 3DS model with the faces facing the right direction. Two fixes: 1) When 3DS brings in the Acad57 (X) Hi there… forcing two-sided rendering shows that the surfaces are…
Chris, I have seen a utility up here for quite a while called gifdxf.zip. What it's supposed to do is convert a gif to a dxf file. Location on compuserve: Forum: Graphics Library: Raytrace Sources Title : gif to dxf converter File : GIFDXF.ZIP Maybe this will help you out.…
Install PARMCI/WIN 95
Message #175008
Well, here's as far as I have been able to get with the PARMCI installation under WIN 95. 1) Make sure the PAR is working under DOS and the PARINIT and PARDRV lines are in your autoexec.bat. A normal install will accomplish this. 2) Start WIN 95 and go to…
Greg, I'll give it another shot. Thanks for the assistance, Paul
Hi Greg, The message I left in Hware/OpSys/Video was my first one, I hope it went according to the correct protocol. I've seen you up here quite a bit and appreciate your wealth of knowledge and experience. Regarding your solution for the ANI texture map: Are you suggesting I double…
PAR ANI as a texture map
Message #173074
To all, I am trying to use an ANI as a texture map (material) in one of my anims. I swear I've done it before and it worked. For some reason, probably the one under my nose, it won't work now. Following is the situation. 1) I have tried renaming…

Hi Michael, I have a business that would greatly benefit from the IRIS format. I am curious about the type of resolutions needed to produce a quality still. Can you email me some data regarding resolutions, max. file size and some pricing on a 24×36 IRIS print mounted on gator…
