b. CM205
c. internal
d. No (caddies)
e. 375 ms.
f. 150 kb/sec
g. Not SCSI. (proprietory card)
h. Not currently XA compatible,  new device driver in development that is.
i. Not currently OS/2 compatible,new device driver in development that is.
j. Unknown if NT compatible.
k. Yes. MPC compatible. (as far as I know)
l. Not QuickTime compatible.
n. 2100 French Francs, in France. Can go as high as 3700FF!
o. Highly recommended.

Summary: Drivers...?

Excuse my incompetence if this is cross posted or any other
lamo-thing - it's my first time posting, and there's no one
to ask about it here...  :(

ANYWAY - I just procured a Toshiba 3301B CD-ROM, and plugged
it in to my machine - 486/33DX w/2SCSI hd's on a DTC 16-bit 
controller...

Just tried a program called GCDROM that is supposed to be
a generic cdrom driver for ColumbiaTechs' "UltimateGenericStandard."

Didn't work...  Does anyone know where I can get my
hands on a set of drivers for this beast?  I can't find DTC
in any listing anywhere, and I _really_ don't want
to write drivers for this...

Please respond by e-mail for flames, otherwise, if it's
good general info, post-public.

Thx,
Mike

Well the main point I was making is that it can be done.  I already knew

All I have heard so far is that CD ROMs made in Japan can be read
straightforward by SUN CD drives, but German made ones cannot as they
use different form/modes. Naturally, one can read them as raw device
but that is not much fun.

My thanks to Othman bin Ahmad for responding to my earlier post.  I should 
have posted from home with my machine in front of me, where I am now.
In answer to Mr. Ahmad's questions:

: connected properly (light comes on at boot-up), but, I get an error message
: saying that the drive and/or card aren't ready.
:: At what state is this? Is it after autoexec had been executed?

This would be just prior to the autoexec being executed.  I get a message
indicating that the OEM CD driver is installed.  Then I get an error 
message telling me that the card or the CD is not ready, ABORT OR RETRY?.
As the drive is internal, sealed tightly and with no jumpers/switches visible, 
the card is not ready.  I retry to no avail, then abort.

::Why don't you post your config.sys and autoexec.bat?

AUTOEXEC.BAT:

f:\windows\AD_WRAP.COM
@ECHO OFF

::When you install the disk, can you see the green light on?

Yes, but curiously, last PM, I discovered that my system thought that the
CDROM was my "A" drive(!).  This stopped when I removed the data cable from the
SBPRO.  I haven't had time to investigate why.  Previously, when I selected
"RETRY" as stated above, at least the green light would come on.  The only 
thing different was that I had changed the IO address jumper on the SBPRO
from the default 220 to 240, and marked this in the autoexec.bat file.  
Otherwise, the light on the drive comes on at boot-up, and during the
config.sys boot-up.  The lines added to the config.sys and autoexec.bat are
the ones suggested by the distributer, and unfortunately the only help that
they can offer.

My thanks for your time...

Not quite so.  Panasonic CD-Rom drive is compatible with the SB Pro.
Also you could buy a CD-Rom upgrade kit from Creative Lab.

I asked about this problem in the lantastic echo but I didn't get

I need some help from someone running lantastic 4.1 with a cdrom.
My problem is I can't get the cdrom to wrk down the network.  It
works perfectly from the server it is installed on but I can't get
it working from the other system which is the one it must be able
to work on because it is the bbs server.
I have placed the mscdex.exe between the redir and the server lines
in my startnet.bat file but it still doesn't work.  I have tried
everything I can think f to get this to work but can't think of
anything else.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.

A late breaking development is that this problem I mentioned (with
'Mixed Up Mother Goose' to be specific) has got to be the Toshiba
drivers (CDDVR-05) and not the drive.  The reason I think that's the
case is that I just tried running the program in a full screen dos
window under OS/2 2.0 GA+SP with the new beta cd drivers and it
worked flawlessly.  Seems like the Toshiba drivers (actually written
by Modern Data Systems) need a little 'tuning up' to work well w/
the new 3401B drives - they work fine with the 3301B.

By the way - the OS/2 beta CD drivers work just fine with Photo-CD
multisession also.

As has been mentioned in related postings, there are 2 disks in question.
The Photo CD of Alice to Ocean does indeed contain audio and interactive 
branching points.  The current Photo CD players only support 1 of the 2 
types of possible audio contained on a Photo CD, commonly referred to as 
"red book" digital audio.  
In general, Photo CD players will not currently decode ADPCM audio, which 
allows for a continuous audio overlay, in addition to image display.  
Audio support on the current Photo CD players is limited to a sequential 
"display the image then play the audio" type of operation.

The real issue is that there are no commercial locations which can 
currently provide audio support in the initial authoring, so any current 
Photo CD disk with audio was made in-house.

I'll attempt to answer Ling Chang's questions and throw in a couple of
questions as well. Please be aware that I don't have any of the specific
equipment concerned but I think I'm pretty well up to speed on the issues
concerned.

>1)  Can I connect it to the PAS 16 sound card.  Do I have
>to purchase their kit?

My understanding is that the SCSI interface on the PAS is essentially a
full implementation if the Trantor 8-bit SCSI adapter (available separately
and also as OEM equipment form various vendors including NEC). It should
work fine with vitually all SCSI CD-ROM drives.

>2)  Does the 3401 comes with all the necessary drivers and
>cables?

I don't know about the cables but the CD-ROM device drivers are always
specific to the SCSI interface being used. If your PAS doesn't ship with
CD-ROM drivers then you will probably need to buy the Trantor drivers
separately. Even if the PAS kit does include software drivers, you may find
that the included drivers won't let you correctly access CD-Audio with the
drive as the audio commands differ between brands of drive, so you may need
to get Toshiba specific drivers from Trantor anyway.

>3)  If I wish to get a SCSI adapter what do you recommend?
>I need it to be Windows-NT compatible and also hopefully
>can add other SCSI device to it next time.

Probably the best supported PC SCSI adaptors in the marketplace currently
(as well as the priciest) are Adaptecs AHA-1542's (into their version C
incarnation now I think). They're supported by all the major operating
systems, but they also seem to be the ones that cause users the most
problems. In fact I believe that few, if any, problems arise with the
Adaptec cards used in systems running OS/2, Windows/NT or various flavours
of Unix, while DOS users are often seen to be seeking assistance with these
in various usenet newsgroups.

Other well known SCSI adaptors include offerings from Trantor, Ultrastor,
Future Domain and Western Digital/SMC.



My questions:

Does the PAS actually ship with CD-ROM drivers in the box, or are these
only to be found in Media Vision's multimedia upgrade kits? Do the supplied
drivers only correctly support NEC drives or are other brands referenced in
the documentation?

Does SMC (formerly Western Digital) still produce PC SCSI cards? I use a
WD7000 FASST card which I'm quite happy with. It performed very well when I
was evaluating it with NEC's CDR-74 (much better than NEC's Trantor produced
interface). My second WD7000 doesn't seem to want to talk to any connected
SCSI devices though, and I'd like to get it fixed if possible. Any
suggestions?

Hello, everyone.
 
I am using a Magnavox CDD-461 external CD-ROM drive with a

All three of these major porn disks are relatively high quality and run

Note that you can also have multi-session audio CDs, although no audio
CD player will play tracks beyond the first session, or multi-session
mode-1 discs, on which each track contains a normal (non-XA) filesystem.
I.e. multi-session is not reserved for PhotoCD.
