Distribution: world
NNTP-Posting-Host: sage.berkeley.edu

A new edition of the Simtel-20 CD-ROM is available.  It contains
about 640 meg of MS-DOS shareware and public domain software.

The Simtel archive has grown since I made the last disc in September,
so there wasn't enough room to include the Ulowell games archive.  I
am planning to finish a separate games disc later this month.

Even without the games archive, there still wasn't enough room on the
disc.  I had to leave something off, so I decided to delete the
windows3 directory.  Most of the stuff in that directory is included
on the CICA disc, so I figured that was better than deleting stuff
that wasn't available elsewhere.

The disc conforms to ISO-9660, which is the most common and generic format.
It will work with almost any reader.  The files are in a standard directory
structure, so no special software is required.  An optional menu driven front
end is provided.

If you want to see what is on the disc, you can ftp the index and readme
files from cdrom.com (192.153.46.254), in the directory /pub/cdroms/simtel.
If you want to use the disc with a BBS, description files are included for
rbbs, pcboard, wildcat, spitfire and opus.  There are also 4dos descript.ion
files in each subdirectory.

The price is $25.  S&H is $5 (per order, not per disc) for US/Can/Mex, and
$10 for overseas.  If you live in California, please add sales tax.  You can
send a check or money order, or you can order with Mastercard/Visa/AmEx.

The disc is available for FREE to anyone that has contributed any of
their own work to the Simtel archive.  Just email me your name, address,
and the name of the program(s) that you wrote.  Overseas addresses are ok.

I also have these CDROMs:

I am always looking for ideas for new discs, so if there is something you
would really like to see on CD-ROM, please let me know.  In addition to
the games disc, I am also working on an Aminet disc, and a NeXT disc.
I am planning to do a TeX disc, an Atari disc and a CP/M disc in the
next few months.  I am also hoping to find time to upgrade some of the
older discs like the source disc and garbo disc.

I have a 15xx model with hitachi's own interface card,
the documentation I do have doesn't mention MSCDEX at

We are trying to decide about a CD-ROM for our library, at the National

serving some 100 researchers in the fields mentioned below.  We prefer
that the Databases will include mainly (though not only) English
written articles in scientific or scientific-popular periodicals or in
scientific books.  It should cover the following topics:

1.  BUILDING MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY;
2.  CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS;
3.  PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE OF BUILDINGS;
4.  BUILDING SERVICE SYSTEMS (HVAC; PLUMBING; ELECTRICITY; ELEVATORS
    ETC.);
5.  STRUCTURES.

   Any assistance in locating the appropriate CD-ROMs, adresses,
information etc. will be greatly appreciated.  We seek help from
engineering libraries, particularly, but not only in the field of CE,
but anyone else that may provide us with relevant information will
be acknowledged.

  It seems that the ISO9660 group *and* the HSF dorks really botched it!
  Why, on a media that most *definitely* is of the WORM category, did they
  implement *fixed* format. I'm no rocket scientist, just a lowly software
  dude, but I could have done a better job.  Do the Rock Ridge group have
  any snappy answers to the drawbacks of 9660 and HSF?  Can we expect a
  new *variable* format and partitioning scheme in future disk formats?

  Once again, the powers that be have coded themselves into a tarpit!!!

Just because a disk is ISO9660 does not mean that it has a directory

disks containing a MS-DOS directory structure.

I'm not sure, but I doubt it (nothing is impossible; some things are

I have an NEC CDR-36, SCSI Drive, connected to an Adaptec 1542B.
It is set as address 3.  ASPI4DOS recognizes the drive, but DOS
cannot see it at all.  ASPIDISK doesn't see it, so I assume I need
some other driver file.  I have the NEC drivers, which work with
the original controller, but I have no information on how to use
them with the Adaptec, if this is even possible.  Can someone tell
me how to set this up, or if I need another file, what it is, and
where I might find it, or even if you can somehow make it available
to me?  I will happily pay for a LD phone call to do a transfer, if
that is possible.  By the way, everything works OK under OS/2, so
the hardware seems OK.

Thanks for your help.

I have been told that the filesystem is readable by PC's - so either
High Sierra, or ISO9660.  My bet is ISO9660.  It functions in concert
with the "Megadrive", or uses normal Audio CD's, or CD+G (CD+Graphics,
not to be confused with CD+I, CD+Video, or PhotoCD).  It does not show
PhotoCD's (but potentially could with special software and new EPROMS).

One thing to note is Sega has claimed to limit usage of "foreign"
software outside of its prescribed market area - so a Japanese
Megadrive CDROM will not work on an American Genesis (that's what it's
called here) CDROM drive.  There are apparently 4 market areas -
North America, Europe, and two divisions of Asia - can't remember
if Australia is counted with Europe or not.  Switching EPROMS between
the Japanese and the American drives will allow the foreign software
to play.  I believe that it's either a directory or volume label
"bitmap", or else a particular directory entry's existence which
differentiates the software between regions.

Check out rec.games.video for more information.

There have been some postings about doing business with Insight, which is 
apparently the same outfit as Hard Drives International (they share ad
space).  Assuming complaints to Insight/HDI are not answered properly, the
best bet seems to be to complain to their advertising outlets.  Try PC 
Magazine, from which I quote (my inserts in brackets [ ] ):

"If you are dissatisfied with a product advertised in PC Magazine and cannot 
resolve the problem with the vendor, write (do not call) Julie Eigo, 
Advertising Dept. at [PC Magazine, One Park Ave., NYC NY 10016].  Include 
copies of your correspondence with the vendor." (p12, Jan 12 1993 issue)

Also they give an e-mail address for the magazine: MCI Mailbox 157-9301.
MCI Mail is accessible from Internet.

Do not abuse the magazine, it's not their fault.  State your case 
succinctly.  If you inform Insight that you intend to complain to PC Mag et 
al before actually doing so, it may encourage them to fix your problem in
order to avoid questions from the magazine.  Good luck.....

No, I've tried REMing out the Trantor driver so the TSLCDR.SYS loads
(which it does by proclaiming that no SCSI adapter is present), but when I 
first rebooted after installing the
Mediavision-supplied cables and drivers, the TSLCDR.SYS wouldn't recognize
any SCSI adapter, but the NECCDR.SYS driver allowed that an adapter was
present but that no SCSI device was.
In other words, with the new driver, I get nothing, and with the old one I
get an acknowledgement of the adapter, but nothing else.

well, if you have both internal and external devices connected to your
Adaptec then you HAVE to remove the 3 terminators from the board; just
make sure your external SCSI device (the one at the end of the
external SCSI cable if you have more than one external) is properly
terminated (either by a terminator connected to its second SCSI port
or by some switch/jumber) on the device.  Also make sure that you are
using the correct CD-ROM driver (in Adaptecs CD driver package ASW410
there is a specific driver for the SONY drives)

Hope that helps...

Try cleaning the heads. I had this problem for awhile. The other posiibility
is a dirty CD. I use an audio cd cleaning kit for both the disks and the
cd reader head (Amdek Laserdriver-1).

Another trick is to use an audio cd opaque edging. This is an opaque ink
that you write around the edge of the CD. The speed of my CD seemed to
improve after this last step. The only thing I can figure is that I got
fewer read errors with the edge opaqued.

  First, be sure the V.4 you intend to buy supports CD. The one major
feature missing in Dell is that they don't support CD, or rather they
support the CD just fine, as long as you use it as a raw device and
don't mind writing your own filesystem.

  I have solved this by having an SCO ODT machine on my net which can
export the CD, but that may not be a practical solution for most people.

Has anyone used any of Pinnacle Micro's rewritable optical drives?  I'd
like to know what kind of device driver is used: is there a special
format command, is accessing the drive through DOS seamless, is the
drive itself fast?
