Subject: CD-ROM: SCSI vs "other",fast vs slow,Mitsumi,MPC,formats ->?
Organization: (this space for rent)
Date: Tue, 12 Jan 1993 06:33:58 GMT

I've got a few CD-rom questions here...

(The questions pertain to a single-user situation, MS-DOS, 286-20 or
 386-33 or 386-40 computer, SVGA, windows, no sound board)...

1) Given the relatively low data transfer rate of these CD-rom drives,
   is there any advantage in getting a SCSI cd-rom (and paying $150 to
   $200 for a SCSI controller) or would a proprietary controller card
   be perfectly adequate?
   (I've read about tons of problems with SCSI drivers.  Are drivers for
    proprietary controllers more or less trouble-free?)

2) Is this multi-media thing just a list of required hardware?  
   (ie are cd-rom drives sold 3 or 4 years ago just as MPC compatible
    as currently available ones?)  Is it possible to buy a cd-rom drive
   today and find that it is in some way (major or minor) not MPC
   compatible?  

2a) I have read that the old (and still prevelant) transfer rate of    
    150 k/sec is at best borderline as far as animation goes.
    Will I really really be sorry that I didn't get a 300k/sec drive?

Regarding the Mitsumi CD-rom drive...

3) I found that a place (in computer shopper) called HI TECH was selling
   a Mitsumi drive (Jan/93) for $169.  I called, and they no longer sell
   that *particular* Mitsumi drive, but they have a better Mitsumi drive
   (350 ms access time) for $195.  I know that there is a fast and slow
   Mitsumi drive, and I have also read about the "order one kind of drive,
   but get another (slower) drive instead" phenomena.  I guess that calls
   for COD...
   
   How is this (faster) Mitsumi as far as playing audio CD's?  Does it
   have headphone and line-out jacks on the front panel (or a backplane
   connector?)
   Does it read multiple session XA photo CD's?  (I have read that it does,
   but I was wondering if there were any personal affirmations of this).
   Is there any type of currently available CD-whatever that this Mitsumi
   drive won't read?
   Does it have a front panel eject button?  Will it eject on power-off?
   Can you get a CD out of it with the power off?
   Are there any advantages in getting the external vs the internal drive?
   Is this drive (or CD-rom drives in general) affected by 5.25" floppy
   drives mounted directly above or below it?

3b) I haven't asked HI-TECH if they sell a starter-pak of CD software, but
    is it cheaper in the long run to buy a drive and start-set of cd's in
    a combined deal (what, $280, $325?) or just buy the drive of my choice
    and buy the software of choice separately?

4) Is there a top-10 list of "must-have" cd's. or a list of stuff not to
   get?  Does anyone have any preferences either way?

Does anyone know of the existence of Navigational Charts on CD-ROM?
Specifically, I need charts of all bodies of water with depths. An
atlas doesn't quite do it.  Also, is there a frequently update 
listing of all available CD-ROM's?

PJS=>proprietary interface but has 350ms seek times and is fully multi-session
PJS=>XA and photo CD compliant. The selling price is generally a bit higher by
PJS=>have seen vendors offering it for less than US$200.

Okay, what the heck _IS_ MULTI-SESSION and why do I want a CD-ROM drive
that supports it? (Anyone can answer -- I'm just sick of seeing

There is a block size difference. My Hitachi 1750 has a switch on the back 
which needs to be set for the two different systems. It seems to be the
drive's firmware, not the software driver, that must be changed.

Here's a few posts that I got on cleaning CD-ROM drives.  Sorry guys, but I
cut out your names from the articles.

---------------------------------------------
There is a cleaning disc available from record stores, from Memorex I
believe.  It is an audio CD disc with a small brush glued to it.  You
put the disc in and tell the drive to play it as an audio disc.  It
will clean accumulated dust, hair, lint, etc. from the laser.

We purchased a kit (like the DISCWASHER kit we used to use for LP records)
at an audio store.  It has a tiny camel hair pad that brushes the dust off
the laser.  We also use compressed air (in a can, couple of bucks a can).
Finally, you can also clean your discs with a solution that you can but at
an audio store.  See "The Care and Feeding of Your CD ROM Disk"  1991
Database p.105+ (Dec. 1991).  Lastly, use a piece of scotch tape over the
CD door if your drives do not have a factory dust cover.

Most likely there is some dirt on the laser emitter/detector.  You should
be able to clean that with a cotton swab and some solvent that does not
harm plastic (good luck there).  Most likely a commerical clearner for
cassette parts will work.  Otherwise there is not much that can go wrong
(well speed regulation and a few other things).  So if you open it up and
give it a visual inspection you should be able to tell if its dirty or not.

Once again, thanks.  Hope to get my reader reading tonight!

I bought the Trantor parallel to SCSI interface

CDROM.  There are drivers for other devices, but
I have not tried them.  

It is much easier than installing an internal

Hi,

I just bought a Panasonic CR-521-B CD-Rom drive (that's what it says
on the manual).  There were no drivers for the CD in the box.  I have
talked to the company that sold it to me, and they seem to think that
the drivers were supposed to be provided with the SB Pro card that I
also bought with the drive.  The drive connects directly to the
SBPro card.

Can some kind soul out there with a similar drive zip the drivers and
send them to me?  If any further information is needed, i'm more than
willing to provide it -- i just want my CD drive to work.

Thanks,

    It seem a shame that CD's aren't made from a sandwich in the first
place.  I seem to remember it been said that disk's should last a
lifetime, that was before whom ever, discovered you could make cheapie
disk's by just just having plastic on one side of the disk and
varnish the other.
    I myself would rather pay more, for a more robust disk, able to
stand up to rough handling. ie "My Daughter using it as a frisbee".

I think there's some misinformation here, and the assumptions derived from that
misinformation are therefore unreliable.

First, SASI became SCSI in the early- to mid-80s. It was formerly Shugart
Associates Systems Interface (note there was no "Architecture" in the name).
It was changed to SCSI by ANSI when ANSI adopted Shugart's proposed standard.
ANSI couldn't allow a vendor name in an industry-wide standard. Ironic side
note: when first introduced, everyone asked how "SCSI" was to be pronounced,
and ANSI decreed that the pronunciation hadn't changed from SASI: "sassy."
Everybody said "sure, right, you bet" and the market has proved them right
ever since.

There were *NO* pin-out differences between SASI and SCSI.

Even if there were pin-out differences, finding a SASI-unique CD-ROM drive
would be difficult, as the SASI-to-SCSI renaming and standardization happened
long before anyone considered the standard for anything other than Winchester
drives. The introduction of NEC drives came *much* later.

Therefore, assuming that a CDR35 is SASI compliant but not SCSI compliant is
probably a bogus conclusion.

The original statement that "you don't want to put any old 50-pin device on
a SCSI bus" is valid advice.

I just purchased the NEC Multimedia kit, have it currently installed, and am
using it from DOS.

I also have OS/2 v2 (GA) and would like to use the CD from that operating
system under the following situations:

1) From OS/2 window and full screen sessions.

2) From a specific DOS session.

3) Potentially, set it up so that all DOS sessions can use it.

I would imagine that someone has already gotten bloody doing this.  I tried to
get as much information via OS/2 help, but I'm still at a loss.

I'm getting the new OS2 beta on CD , but how am I going to load it if I can't
access the CD from OS/2.

Also, has anyone found a way to load MSCDEX high with QEMM under DOS.

Thanks in advance for YOUR time.  I know that your going to save me a lot of
it.

Also, I would think that the manufacturing process would be difficult.
As I understand it (weasel phrase), CD's are made by imprinting the texture
on the polycarbonate side, then depositing the aluminum in a VERY thin layer.

If you wanted a 2-sided CD, you'd have to make two of these, and sandwich them
together somehow, which would get somewhat hairy.

What about using something with a (higher?) index of refraction?  That way,
if the manufacturing difficulties could be overcome, the disk need not be
any thicker than present one-sided disks, and would be compatible with
current drives, but could be used with (future?) double sided drives.

I have been calling around for quotes on CD-ROM drives for use with

Compatibility List that I got from Microsoft lists a lot of drives
that aren't readily available any more (at least according to the

Does anyone know of a newer compatibility list, or better yet, can
give a resounding reccomendation for a particular CD drive / SCSI
card under Win/NT and os/2 2.0?

Has anyone had experience with Mitsumi drives?  They seem to be
pretty inexpensive...

I also saw the new Toshiba drive here.  They quoted me an access time of
200ms, but that still seems pretty nice.  It said there was support for
PhotoCD ( through their driver? ).  It didn't say whether or not CDI was
supported, but I guess it would be possible as an XA drive.  Anyone else
out there have experiences with this drive yet?

It also had a "SPARC tested" sticker, which I gather means it will work with
Suns.  Does anyone know if has the ability to boot from the CD as the Sun
drives allow one to do?

Thanks,

 I have the same problem with my Mitsumi drive.
 My CDROM driver hangs if I try to LOADHI it using QEMM.

QEMM version 6.03
MTMCDE.SYS version 02.10

DEVICE=C:\BIN\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS NOVIDEOFILL RAM NOSORT DMA=64 ST:M
DEVICE=c:\bin\qemm\loadhi.sys /r:2 ...
       ... C:\dev\cdrom\MTMCDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /P:300 /A:0 /M:20 /T:5 /I:10

Notes: The older version of the driver did load high.
(This was a version that required SETVER to be installed)

The new version has an extended memory feature that allows it to
allocate buffers in extended memory instead of low memory.
I assume that this may be the cause of the problem.
I have tried loading it with and without this option turned on
and it hangs both ways.

Please email me suggestions.
