I've seen the Babylon 5 Media Kit for Windows, and it's pretty well done. (I love the 'digital trading cards') Not sure where my girlfriend found it – somewhere here on CIS, but in the IBM fora.

while I am curious to see it and DO have a 386 I use to run some transistor substitution program for my business . I am not sure I want to go to the trouble of installing windows , replacing the VGA mono with the multisync I use on my 1200 ( i KNOW my priorities 🙂 just to see it . mind you , despite the trashing reviews B5 got in the local paper , I do like it a lot . you gotta consider that the reporter saw it as a STAR TREK SPINN OFF !! as I said to someone . it's like calling DR QUINN medecine woman a spinn off of BONANZA since they are both set in the far west . oh and since your girlfriend has it and uploads are free …………….:)

I'll ask her where the B5 multimedia press kit is, but you'd be best off with a burlier system if you really want to make it worth your trouble. (I don't think it's worth going to all the trouble of reinstalling VGA cards, etc.) …… Just talked to my girlfriend – No idea on where or when it came from (She just got it off the local co. network.) If you can't find it here, get back in touch and I'll give you what she's got – it may not be the whole package, though. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

You can find the B5 media kit over on the sci-fi forum. George Brown

Lots of people are having troubles with the PC version of the B-5 multimedia press kit. The company that cobbled it together is taking a look, now.

Hmmm. Seemed to work OK on a Gateway 486-66…… Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

Eric, How big is the file? I'd like to put the wife's 486 to use and see this thing. Did she say where it was? Nate Wahl, Emerald Video I am a Nate, ergo I Animate!

It's in the science fiction forum library and it's pretty good but aboat a 1 1/2 upload.

Steve, 1.5 Meg!!! Guess I'll have to wait until after the rates go down, huh? Nate Wahl, Emerald Video I am a Nate, ergo I Animate!

The entire ZIP file was about 2MB. The Multimedia player alone is about 750K compressed. If you can't find it up here already, I'll try to see about uploading it. Keep On Toastin' Erik Flom

YOIKS, 2Meg! Is the player in it? I've probably got something that'll do instead. I guess I'll wait for CI$ rates to drop in Feb! Nate Wahl, Emerald Video I am a Nate, ergo I Animate!

There's not one for the Amiga, at least yet. Warner unaccountably did not make one, but a couple of Amiga users have volunteered to try and Warner said it's willing to give them access to the raw materiala used in the PC and Mac versions. Sit tight, maybe it'll appear.

I hope they do make an Amiga one . I just dloaded the Windows version . heck , I could get better response off my old A1000 then what I got from my 2 MB 386-25 ( BTW , I think the Geneva convention is considering running windows on a 386-25 cruel and unusual punishment .) still , it looks nice . just sooooo sloooow , I can't understand hoow PC users can stand it . I'll keep haunting ( or is it hunting? 🙂 the place until I see one . if anyone is interested , the kits ( for MAC and PC) are in the SCIFI forum , library 10 . along with the GIF DIGITAL TRADING CARDS for Babylon 5 .
