#CDROM+COREL+IRQ
3 messages in this thread
HELLO.I just got the CDROM bundle, and all is fine, but since I installed
the CDROM (Toshiba Xm3301B) and Corel, my WINFAX stopped working. I wonder
if there is an IRQ conflict. Could you tell me which IRQs do the SCSI card
and CDROM take, if any? Can they be modified?
Also: CD-AUDIO gives very low volume. WHY? I am using amplified speakers
that I use with my Walkman, and their volume is great EXCEPT when hooked
with the Toshiba. Any reason? Any solution? I do not want the expense of
upgrading soundcard just to be able to hear CD–I think that if CDROM has a
front/rear audio hookup, they both should work the same, no? I am
obviously a confused person <g>!
Please help??? Thanks a lot.
PS I tried to hook up the CD to a stereo, through a CD input line. Then, I
got absolutely NO sound. I am REALLY confused!
Finally, please, can someone send me (FAX 401 277-6111, under my name) a
list of the files in the CDROMs? The documentation does not identify the
CDROMs, and my computer has only 4MB memory, reads the index and gets
"full". Thanks again!
Hi Lucia,
The LS2000 SCSI does not use any IRQ's, it is a memory mapped card
that defaults to the address of D800-DBFF. Please check the other
devices installed in your computer to see if one of them is also using
this memory address or, you could try changing the memory address of
the Corel LS2000. If you want to try another memory address for the
LS2000, I would suggest a jumper on J10 to select the E000-E3ff range.
If you could send me a copy of your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files
and a list of cards installed in your computer I may be able to see a
problem. Also could you describe the symptoms of "WINFAX not working".
The problem could be a hardware or software conflict and any error
messages or a description of what happens would be very helpful. If
you would prefer a technicians assistance while you check these
details you could call our SCSI Technical Support number 1-613-728-
8200. Please check all the connections to your FAX equipment and if
possible re-install the WINFAX software.
The front and rear panel audio outputs are not the same on the Toshiba
3301 CD-ROM player.The specifications audio output are as follows.
Audio output (rear panel):
Analog output (500 mVrms TYP. at load impedance 47Kohm, 1kHz)
Audio headphone output (front panel):
650mVrms TYP. at load impedance 100 ohm, 1kHz
What type of speakers are you using? Perhaps I could perform some
tests or contact the manufacturer for you to discuss the expected
performance. To use the audio output to a stereo you should be
connecting the rear panel connectors to the CD input of your stereo
amplifier with audio patch cables. When connecting to your walkman
type speakers you should be using the cable supplied with your
speakers connected to the CD-ROM's front panel audio headphone output.

I will FAX you a list of files on the CD-ROM's shipped with
blockbuster but, I think the error messages you are getting are
indicating the LS2000 card is conflicting with something in your
system. I don't think a list of files on the CD-ROM's would be of mch use.
A data CD-ROM on your system should appear like any other data
disk. You should be able to do a directory of it from the DOS prompt
and see the contents in the Windows File Manager. If the suggestions
regarding the conflict you are experiencing with your FAX do not clear
up this problem you may want to call our SCSI support group at 1-613-
728-1010 or provide me with the details about your system
configuration.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
