I was wondering if anybody could tell me where I could order Fred Fish disks reel cheep. (Say in the $2 US range.) I'm in Ontario and would need a place that would ship here… Thank you.. [CR]

Chris – The best source for Fred Fish disks (IMHO) is Amy Today. They can be reached at; (805) 687-5643 or 640 WillowGlen Rd. Santa Barbara, CA 93105-2438 Their price on FF and other PD disks has always been $2.00 and I don't think you will have a problem with them shipping the disk to you in Ontario. – Roy Pahnke – Casper, Wyomin'

I see that Vic has already given you a good source…. tongue in cheek…. you could get the Xetec CD-ROM drive (CDx-650E) for around $650 or so. It comes with the Fred Fish library upto disk # 370…. purchasing all 370 @ $2.00 per disk would be over $700. and you get to keep the CD-ROM drive 🙂 –jp–seattle–

Or you can buy HyperMedia's Fish on Disk collection (current version is 1.2 and covers disks 1-480, while Xetec's is split over TWO disks purchased separatly) for $69 from Hypermedia, $109 from Hypermedia for a 3 disk (1 year) subscription, or $50 for the current disk from my store. <g> You still need the player, but if you have an A590/A2091/A3000/HardFrame scsi interface (or some other that supports the SCSI DIRECT protocol, you call roll your own CD-ROM player by buying CDROM-FS for $49 from HyperMedia (they are just one of the dealers selling it, it's a Canadian Product) and most any SCSI CD-ROM player (mine is a refurbished Toshiba internal that cost me $225). And you get to keep the CDROM player! <g>
