I'm interested in getting a CDrom and sound card.  I've been looking at
the Creative Lab Soundblaster card and the cdrom that comes with their
multi-medai upgrade kit.  I've seen the internal version for about $530
and was wondering:

A) is this a descent package?
B) is the price about as good as I can find now?
C) Is PC-Zone a reputable company to order from?

any other information would be appreciated.  

Please send email I will post a follow-up to this newsgroup with all
responses.

Thanks.

Well, mine finally came this weekend (10/2/92) and seems to be running
well.  I did order it around August 29th so it was almost exactly 6 weeks,
which is what they quoted.

By the way, anyone know where I can get some benchmarks to try on this

 <chans.717958404@marsh>

I think the issue of a chipset doesn't really matter, except unless
you're looking for some feature that only a certain chipset supports.

You can make a very good motherboard with a SIS chipset--I have one, and
have had absolutely 0 problems.  I would suspect the same with the rest
of the manufacturers of chipsets.

However, it is important to purchase a motherboard that was designed properly.
Don't blame the chipset, blame the manufacturer of the motherboard.

A car with square wheels and a great engine doesn't do much, just like a
perfectly compatible chipset with a terrible motherboard.

So this "Chipset XXX is better than Chipset YYY because my particular
motherboard wouldn't run software ZZZ" stuff is absolutely useless.

If one wants to determine whether to purchase a motherboard, one should
try the motherboard, or try to find someone else with an identical one.

One doesn't.  I think your problem is really that your computer
doesn't correctly handle 3-chip 1MBx9 SIMMs.  Try getting some 9-chip
1MBx9 SIMMs and see if that fixes your problem.

I recently found the Bloomington virus on my system (running os/2 no
less) and having cleaned it up still have a strange problem.  Now i'm
wondering if it is my hard/floppy controller.

right now my system is running bare minimum dos 5, so dont tell me
this is an os/2 bug.

If i put a disk in the A: drive, it is fine.  If i replace it with
another and try a simple operation, such as DIR or COPY, the drive
doesn't know i have put in a new disk and expects the other to be
there.  The only way i can get it to register is to log my EMPTY B:
drive and try to access it, select the FAIL option and re log my A:
drive.

Could this be my controller?  Or I remember hearing something about a
sensor in the disk drive.  Or is it Bloomington? 

HELP!

I'm interested in the flopticals but I run os/2 v2.0. Much frustration
stemming from buying hardware from companies not supplying os/2 device
drivers has made me unwilling to buy devices not supplied with os/2
device drivers. Iomega just started shipping os/2 v2.0 drivers for
their peripherals.

its price is so low that gives me a second thought. Since then, I have

Of course it supports it, but does it *fully* support it?
Specially, does it support the P24T's internal cache in
WRITEBACK mode?  We should be seeing a lots of new machines at
Fall Comdex which will fully support the P24T, but a lots of
machines which use chipsets designed only for the 486's
WRITETHROUGH cache will not fully exploit the P24T's
capabilities.  OPTi and others certainly have chipsets
destined for '93 which will do wonders for the OverDrive(tm)
socket.

	I recently order several similar system for the lab that I worked

I called the university relations people, who was obviously burned out
and un-enthusiastic from the inundation of calls.  She said that the 
configution of the 486/33 has changed and they were having a shortage of
boards.  The system board has VL-BUSES and 8 Megs of ram as a standard. 
From the way she says it, I think we are in for a long wait!

The (possible) problem comes when the bios do the POST.  Will all motherboard
