[stuff deleted]

I wish you luck.  I have been trying to install a CM100/CM155 combination on
a 386SX.  We have been using it on an AT to run Cambridge Scientific's CD-ROM
version of MedLine, and wanted to upgrade our system.  The installation program
ran without difficulty, but when we tried to run the program itself we got in-
stallation-failure messages.  To make a very long story short, I was finally
told by the tech people at Cambridge Scientific that the CM100/CM155 can't cope
with the speed of 386s.

If you succeed (or anyone else has succeeded) in installing this combination on
a 386/486, I'd love to hear how you did it.

Our switches are set 1-7 "open" and 8 "closed".  The lower connector is for the 
"lower" drive (e.g. d:) and the upper one is for the higher (e.g. e:).

If you have only one player and you're using DOS extensions (not necessary for
many apps), the lower one.

We have ours set with 1 and 2 "on" and 3 and 4 "off".

Has anyone heard of a Sony product called "Electronic Book(s)" (EB) and/or

(in some e-mail from Japan) that refers to a "computer peripheral version
... called DD-DR1 in Japan", that apparently provides data transfer to a
Mac hard disk.  Is this simply one of Sony's cd-rom drives in a glitzy
box, or is there something different about it?  (e.g. is the Sony "EB

if anyone has personal knowledge of it, I would be grateful for your e-mail

Eduardo -

Regarding the availability of Books in Print on CD-ROM, yes it is
available in this format from R.R. Bowker, which is also the producer
of the print version.  There are a few drawbacks to the item that
you might want to be aware of.  First is the price (over $1000 if
I remember correctly).  You can email me directly for the address
and phone number of Bowker since I am writing this from home and I
don't have it handy now.  I can also give you a more exact price then.

Also, the installation is annoying, particularly if you are trying to
set it up on a network.  The thing is extremely slow running and the
search engine could really use some work in this area.  I spoke to a
salesman about this once and he said
"but the database is so large!"  Give me a break.  I have larger
databases on CD-ROM that much several times faster.

Finally, the thing requires a lot of free memory on your workstation.
If you are working without extended memory, it will be very difficult
to get it to run without doing some fancy footwork. We had to put in
an additional meg of expanded memory on our workstations just for this
application.

Well, you might think this is a knock of the database.  It does need
some work but since it is really the only item of its kind, we are
living with it here.  There is also a version that contains book reviews
from various scholarly publications.  This is a very nice option which
I use a lot.

Anyway, if you have the money, give it a try.  Let the salespeople
know about any complaint you might have and maybe we can get a few
changes made.

A feature that would make PC-based CDROMs really nice for those of us who
run 4DOS would be a descriptions file.  This is a file named DESCRIPT.ION,
located in the same directory as the files it describes, in the following
format:

<filename><space><description>

where <description> is 40 or fewer characters.  The brackets are not present.

This displays the line of text, <description> after the filename when doing
a directory.  Anything longer is truncated.  Some of the Simtel descriptions
would be truncated, but it would still add value, I think, and could be
generated very easily from the 00_index.txt files.

   There have been 2 questions on this list this weekend about the
Soundblaster and CD-ROM.

1) Jerry Rocteur inquires:
>I have an ESDI controller and drive on my dos machine, so to add a
>cd-rom I get the SBPro card and the CD rom and I don't  have to buy a
>SCSI controller ??? Is this right ???
>Can I use the SBPro with _any_ cd-rom ?? if not which ones ??

   The SBPro has a proprietary interface that only works with a CD-ROM
marketed by Panasonic, Matsushita, and others.  It is NOT SCSI.  If you buy
the CD-ROM that Creative Labs sells, of course, you're fine.  The SBPro will
work with any CD-ROM drive, however, as long as its own SCSI interface
card is installed.  On the other hand, the MediaVision Pro  Spectrum Plus
and 16 has a standard SCSI on the card that will interface with many drives.

 2. And then Nathaniel Guyton says, in response to a question from Bob
Wiley about "cabling" a CD-ROM to a SB:
>First off, you need the Sound Blaster PRO for their CD rom/SBPro
>connection.  The Soound Blaster won't get you any farther than the old adlib
>card when it comes to running a CD rom player.  Furthermore, the point of
>the connection is that the SBPro serves as the CD rom interface card.  If you
>already have the interface card for your specific player, you don't need this.
>You were right about the specific model CD rom player for the SBPro,
>too.  Any other player will not work with the proprietary interface.  Sorry.

   Basically true.  However, the MPC standard requires a direct cable
connection between an internal CD-ROM audio input on the sound
board and the CD-ROM drive.  But I need someone to tell ME just what
the role of this cable vs the SB's proprietary interface actually is.  Is it to
play standard CD audio?
   There is a very good basic article about sound board technology in the
August 92 PC Sources.  I commend it to any interested amateur like me.

On the back page of that magazine is a "CD-ROM Discount Offer" which Microsoft
does not endorse as it is a third party product except for the statement:

"Except for getting a quality drive into your hands, Microsoft is not
involved in the purchase"

The offer is for a Toshiba XM-3301 CDROM drive which has a SCSI-2/SCSI
interface, 683MB capacity, an average access time of 325 ms, 64K cache,
50,000 hrs MTBF.

The offer is for an external drive for $450 or an internal drive for $400.
The PC/XT/AT/386/486 adapter is for $100, the Microchannel adapter is for $195
and the Parallel Port adapter is of $120.  They sell 5 CD-ROM caddies for $45.
Sales tax only in CA, FL and MA and shipping and handling are $25.

Microsoft is NOT selling the above drive but CD Technology, Inc is selling it.
CD Technology, Inc's phone number is listed as 408-752-8500 in the ad.

              3- Select and copy to HardDisk.
              4- Dearchive and use.

Now, I don't know about you people, but this is a long procedure for me..
Does anyone have a less time consuming way..
If you have the Night Owl 6.0 you know what I am talking about.. You only
run one program and then every thing is automaticly done!

Any ideas about this...

Subject: MS Bookshelf Viewer problems
Date: 12 Aug 92 15:44:44 GMT

I have the Creative Labs MPC package (SoundBlaster Pro card with built-in
CD-ROM interface and the Matsushita/Panasonic CD-ROM drive).  It works fine
with every CD I have, except MS Bookshelf under Windows 3.1.

First problem:

    The MS Viewer almost always refuses to recognize the CD-ROM drive the
    first time it's called.  Sometimes I get a "retry" dialogue and other
    times I get Viewer's full display with a dialogue that directs me to
    find the appropriate *.mvb file for it.

    I can reproduce this problem by using a different CD -- say Mammals --
    from Windows, then ejecting it and trying to use the Bookshelf.  If,
    instead, I use the program manager to look at the CD-ROM (D:) drive,
    it has no problem, and a subsequent Bookshelf reference is fine, too.

    I can "fix" the problem by changing the program set options to execute
    viewer from the CD-ROM drive, but that results in much slower access
    to any book on the shelf.

Second problem:

    Once I do get the Bookshelf to work, success in playing the musical
    examples in the compact encyclopedia is unpredictable.  I haven't
    found any way to predict success or failure.

A search of the MS problem data base hasn't shown any know Viewer bugs
that match these problems.  (I haven't had the chance to run the
DOSSPEED.EXE and WINSPEED.EXE tests yet -- they may show a problem.)

Has anyone had similar problems or do I have a problem with my MPC hardware?

Mr Bean isn't a series as such.  The `episodes' are only shown periodically
(often Bank Holidays as a kind of treat).  They are still being made, I
think.  I don't know exactly how many have been made.  Probably only half
a dozen at a guess.  I believe that some are available on video which
have been shown as cinema fillers but have not been broadcast on TV.

Dr. Samuel Johnson:  Sir, I hope you are not using the first English dictionary
                     to look up rude words!

                     for.

I posted here yesterday that I was unable to find the scripts at the FTP 
site. This is just an update - I tried again about an hour ago, and there 
they were! I don't know what the problem was previously, but I downloaded 
one and am just about to read it - can't wait!!
