Where find Texel??
Message #38496
Jerry, I got my Texel bundle from Hard Drives International/Insight. Everything is working fine, I'm very pleased with the price and service! The Texel is the best choice, IMHO. Bill Hines
Howard, I like the caddies because I can keep my most heavily used discs in them and never have to handle them (nor do my kids!!). It would be nice if there was a slip-in deal that you could keep in your drive tray to make caddies optional…. Bill Hines
Bruce, No, but good idea. I'll try it in DOS, and also try it without the network card (but I'm using Windows for Workgroups, not sure how happy it'll be when it boots and finds no network card ). Thanks, Bill
Mark, I don't have another microphone that I can try right now. I'll try to find one. Headphones into the mic jack?? I'll try that too. If I remove the mic then the hum/radio go away immediately. This is with the mic plugged into the PAS16, directly into the card,…
Bruce, No, I don't get any sound from the microphone. When I switch the mic to 'ON' and set the mixer/recorder properly, then press the record button on the recorder app, it just records the hum/radio station instead of my voice. I'm on my second PAS card, and the same…
Ron, I would have loved to have the Turtle Beach board , except the primary use of the sound board is for games. I'll try re-arranging things somewhat inside the machine. Funny thing is that it only happens under Windows. Bill
Bruce, Yeah, with the PAS16, if I go into the pocket mixer and put the slider for the microphone up anywhere past about 50%, I can hear humming and a radio station broadcast. This is true if the slider is green (playback) or red (record). Very frustrating! Do you have…
Jim, I hope that observation was tongue in cheek ! IAC, I'll take the sweet sounds of Neil Young over the hums, whirring, and other associated noises that my PC makes . Of course, I may not hear the bearings start to go in my hard drive, but I'll find…
Bill, I still can't seem to get any tech support from Media Vision on my PAS16 problem. I can't record through the microphone using the Windows tools that they provided with the version 1.44 drivers, I get a hum and radio station through the speakers or headphones when I max…

Steven, With the FD FT850 card you can run other SCSI peripherals (not sure you can off the PAS card, IOW you can connect the SCSI Texel drive, but could you then daisy chain a SCSI hard drive or tape drive off it?). Also, you can run the Windows NT…

Jim, The new software for the Pro Audio Spectrum 16 comes with a nice Windows app for playing audio cd's. The PAS16 works well with the setup you got from HDI. Bill Hines

Randy, Check the line for the sndbk12.sys, make sure it designates the correct interrupt and dma for your *PAS*, not the soundblaster interrupts!! On their install screen where you pick the sound board, make *sure* that you picked the PAS-16 (I think it's letter G), *not* the soundblaster. Lastly, make…
Angela, Keep in mind when you read the PC mag reviews that they said it was a 'close call' between the Texel and NEC for Editor's Choice. The only negative aspects that they found on the Texel were either incorrect or have been fixed (for example, it *does* ship with…
Hal, You're right, that's dangerous stuff and I would never want to badmouth a company that doesn't deserve it! I'm a very active consumer, letter writer, etc, and think that companies that work hard deserve recognition, and those that do a poor job deserve to be badmouthed so others know…

Joseph, First, do you get the mouse OK with other DOS apps under Windows? Remember, in order for this to work you must load the mouse driver/tsr before running Windows. It is possible to forget this, and you will still get a mouse under Windows since the mouse code for…

Bobby, Hmm, I wonder if I had confused Dirt Cheap Drives with someone else. I do know that I only called a few places, and one distinctly said to me several times "We work from the house here, call anytime". I could have sworn it was DCD, but according to…
Angela, I heard of problems with Dirt Cheap Drives, plus I think they're a garage-type operation (run from their house) and pretty new. I ordered from Hard Drives International since they've been around much longer, I've done business with them before, and they sold a bundled kit that is exactly…
Phil, Thanks for the info. I checked into Sante, and decided against it because I want something that is more "cookbook" than nutritional advisor. I was told the recipes in Sante are nutrition-based and that you can add your own, but I want something more mainline. So the search continues…
Phil, Is 'Sante' the title or the publisher? Do you know if any mail-order places have this? Thanks, Bill Hines
#Need Good Cookbook Disc!
Message #34664
My wife has just sprung this one on me – she wants a new cookbook. I thought that since I just bought the CDROM drive, I might find something nice on compact disc (preferrably under Windows, if not then DOS). I know there are a few titles out there, can…
"my wife tried out the games and says "blecchh"" Well, I guess you'll just have to get her the CDROM version of King's Quest VI, won't you!! Do that and you can say goodbye to your machine for quite some time Bill "a man of experience with a gaming wife,…
Broken: Texel & FDomain
Message #34572
Richard, My system is running Ok, but I haven't spend much time with the CD Game Pak II. A friend of mine did (he also got the same package) and said most of the games in it are pretty cheesy . I expected that, anyway. I think you're supposed to…
