You are on the right track! You have to use the computer on your desk
to draw X's on all places where a crime has been performed. Check all
crimes you know about using the computer. The vague shape of the
pentagram you have found under the jacket of the guy in the dumpster
will show up leaving one X on the upper right corner out. This is
where you have to drive to. When you draw all crimes at the correct
position, a message will show up informing you that this looks like
that pentagram. Now drive to that place. When entering the car, you
will be able to watch Sonny and Morales talk to each other about the
location.

I've gotten the grail or whatever it is back from the Vulcan-eared

Got the rainbowstone which I was sure would go into the pond by the
  blueberries, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere.
Got the purple potion (obviously, if I've got the grail)
Have three jewels in the amulet activated.
Been eaten by that giant frog after trying to be friendly.

What am I missing?  Right now I don't have anywhere else to go.  
The little podium with the golden horses seems to be the next logical 
place for action, but not sure what to do there.

I'm also curious about a couple things from the part before the Labyrinth. 
Am I supposed to get the Emerald from the statue and does the old guy on
the bench do anything important?

Any subtle clues would be welcome...

Your problem is that you own a Soundblaster and a fast machine.  Try
turning off turbo to see if the crashes go away and the voices come
back.  Early SB's were quite incompatible with fast motherboards.  I
have one in my 386/33, and several Adlib/SB games did not work
with the machine on turbo.

Summary: How to get env_set.asm to work with DOS 5.0

Organization: Aarhus University, Denmark

Greetings DOS fans,

I have been a happy user of setdir.com and setglob.com which
were written by Arny Kreuger.  These programs had the
virtue of being able to change the root environment in
DOS (thereby allowing one to write programs and batch files
that would make these changes.)  However, it does not
work properly with DOS 5.0.  (Well, if I boot from a floppy
then it works, but otherwise not, and I cannot figure
out what is happening there.)  Also, if DOS is loaded high
then these programs cannot even find the DOS Shell.  

I am hoping that some one has already hacked set_env.asm
so that it will work properly under DOS 5.0.  If not, then
I would appreciate any advice for a semi-literate who wants
to muck around with set_env.asm to get it working again.

Thanks for your attention.

Cheers,
  Seth

This may sound dumb but I'm serious.  If you don't want to try it, fine. 
Try putting the /b switch right after copy instead of at the end of the
command line (e.g. copy /b file1+file2+....filen file.zip).

Does anyone have any recommendations for a fast, color PC laptop?
General requirements include support for an internal faxmodem and
ports for a mouse and external monitor.  Price is not really an issue,
but around $4000 is probably a ceiling (and spending less would be
much better).  I've heard that the Toshiba 4400 is a good system--what
is comparable to this?

As a Mac consultant for the past several years, I'm not very much in

I just replaced the 65 meg RLL drive in my Gateway 2000 386 with a Maxtor
7213A.  The drive works beautifully, but it has caused some other problems
with my system.
First of all, about half of the time there are dark horizontal bands moving 
up or down my screen.  The appear for no apparent reason, and they disappear
when I access a floppy drive.  I moved my video card so that it is as far as
possible from the IDE adapter, but it didn't seem to help.  My video card
is an ATI VGA Wonder, and my monitor is a NEC MultiSync 3D.
Also, my SoundBlaster has stopped working.  It used to use interrupt 7, but
now the installation program says that int 7 is taken, along with the others
it can use (2, 5, and 8, I think).  
Anyway, I would appreciate hearing from anyone who cam shed some light on
these problems.  Thanks.

I recently acquired a junk Standard '286 and got it working more or less,
except that when it boots up it comes up with a configuration error and
tells me to run the setup program.  THis machine obviously was designed
before they put that kind of stuff in a ROM, and the machine did not come
with much in the way of software.  So anyway does anyone know if Standard
is still in business and I could order the disk from them, or does anyone
have this software and would be willing to make a copy for me (of course
in that hazy legal ground of copyrights but having no other way to get
the program legally... but hell I own the hardware so I'd hardly be ripping
anyone off).  The machine has Phoenix ROMS: if I could get ahold
of a setup program written for ANY '286 clone with Phoenix ROMS would that
work?

Anyway any help would be appreciated, please email.  Thanks,

A few days a go, Ken Germann posted a spec sheet on the Cardinal 14.4K

The price is $195!   At first, I thought, order one now!  Now that
I think about it, I wonder why this price is ~$100 less than Supra,
Zoom, Practical, and a few others I bet for the same functionality.


Anyone with any experience with the Cardinal modem.  This is a downright
steal if it is a quality product If it is supported by Zeos, then I doubt
I should worry about support, but just checking.  It seems to be too good
to be true.


thanks,

Try to use type 1 instead of type 47.

I had a similar problem a few months ago, and I found conflict from VGA card
was another source of such problem.  Adjusting jumpers on the VGA card avoided
the conflict and solved my problem.

Hope this helps because I understand the frustration.

Subject: COMPAQ 286 setup program needed
Summary: the old one doesn't know about 3.5" floppies

I have an old COMPAQ Deskpro 286 that has been dumped in my lap, and I need 
to get it working with a 1.44MB floppy drive. Unfortunately the old SETUP 
utility that came with the computer won't let me set this by hand. It 
autodetects the 3.5" drive which is plugged in as A: as a 1.2MB drive. Does 
a more recent SETUP program which can detect a 1.44MB drive exist? Any other 
ideas?

Thanks,
Loren
