When I contacted OUP recently to determine UK availability and price, and made
the mistake of asking if there was an academic discount available, I was told
that the paper version costs three times as much.

UK CDROM price is L495 + L10 post and packing, for those interested.

The point is, 50-pin Centronics does not necessarily mean SCSI, and since 
there's a +26V line on the SCSI bus, you don't want to put any old 50-pin
device on a SCSI bus.  You could damage the device, the host adaptor, or
both.

On another network, I've been informed that the drive is probably an early
version of the present CDR-37 with a single-port SCSI interface.  I'm going
to put it on my PS/2 SCSI adaptor and see if the config program identifies
it.

This query being crossposted to CDROM-L and MAC-L.

I'm pretty stumped.  One of our public radio series' listeners called
and wants to know how he can better access/use CD-ROMs created for use
in DOS environments when he stays on his trusty Mac.

I mentioned both the ISO emulators and Insignia's Soft-PC/Soft-AT
but he'd tried both and found supremely lacking.

Are there other/better solutions to accessing this far broader collection
of CD-based data while sticking with a Mac and Mac-oriented CD drive?

  I recently purchased two AMDEK Laserdrives used and they have been working
  great in DOS (even through they are very slow and not MPC compliant).

  What I am trying to determine is if these drives can be used in OS/2.  The
  setup is both drives daisy-chained to a proprietary ISA  card (devices 0
  and 1).  The driver I am using is the one that came with the drives called
  AMDEK.SYS, but it does display that it is a Hitachi driver on the screen
  when it loads.

These are Hitachi drives that Amdek put their name on.  The external
Amdek that is caddyless is the same as the Hitachi 1504.  I have
forgotten the number that the Amdek internal is the same as, maybe the
3300?  Anyway, you can get info and updated drivers from Hitachi.

I talked to Hitachi yesterday and they said the OS/2 drivers are coming out
"soon". They even asked if I would like one to beta one for them. That is a 
lot better than most of the other proprietary units. The only one now 
supported, as far as I know, is the Matshushita (Panasonic) drive used by 
the SoundBlaster folks. The SCSI drives seem to have reasonable support.

Well, I think I must add some detail to my original posting.  I'm
planning to buy the new Consensys 4.2 (Destiny, like someone like to
call it). The CD file system si supported. I don't know if this is a
common feature in all 4.2 systems, but also UnixWare supports it (in
fact they optionally ship the OS on a CD)....

I think an Adaptec (1742) host adapter, should not be a problem. The
problem is the CD itself. Consensys list in their documentation:
	- Toshiba (I don't remember the model)
	- Sony (no model is specified, but Sony Italia said they sell
	  only the CDU6211, as I said in the previous article)
	- Pioneer (again, no model is specified, but Pioneer Italia
	  has only a double drive, which is not of much interest)

At the moment the only two choiches I have are:
       - LMSI (Laser Magnetic Storage International, a Philips and
	 Control Data joint venture) CM234.
       - Sony CDU6211.

Sony Italia staff seems to know only Ms-Dos (I don't know how they
could bootstrap their News workstations!). Same story for LMSI.
[ I guess Unix is still a strange beast for most people here in Italy. ]

Now I'm asking:

Are all SCSI CD-ROMs compatible each other and only the host adapter
makes the difference, or I must chose with care the right one?

If no model il specified for Sony, may I expect all models are good
for Consensys 4.2?

Finally, what are your experiences with one or both the units I could
buy?

Thanks, again.

Richard,

I went through similar struggles to get my NEC CDR36 hooked up to my
Adaptec 1542.  ASPI4DOS is the generic ASPI driver, and ASPIDISK is fo
removable disks (WORMs, SYquest cartridges, etc.).  To get DOS to
recognize your CD, you need two thigs: an ASPI CD-ROM driver, and the
Microsoft CD extensions (MSCDEX).

I was eventually able to get the ASPI CD-ROM drivers from Adaptec, but
it wasn't very easy.  They just weren't prepared to sell drivers to an
end user.  Your best bet is to call Corel and order their Corel SCSI
package (it's about $99).  It contains generic WORM/removable drivers and
CD-ROM drivers.  You still need to run ASPI4DOS to provide the ASPI
layer.  You can use the Corel WORM/removable drivers, but I would advise
that you keep on using ASPIDISK.  If you switch to the Corel drivers, you
will have to reformat your removable media with Core's CFORMAT utility.
I am running with ASPI4DOS, ASPIDISK, and the Corel CD-ROM drivers, and
everything works fine.  The only glitch is that if you run ASPIDISK, the
Corel SCSI Utility doesn't work, but I didn't find it very useful anyway.

Organization: Fermilab
NNTP-Posting-Host: fncrd6.fnal.gov

I have recently had the opportunity to try out both the fast and slow 
versions of the mitsumi drive.

  The fast version is specified to have an average seek time of 350ms,
a sustained transfer rate of 175K bytes/sec.  It claims to be MPC 
compatible and meets or exceeds High Sierra and ISO 9660 
specifications.  It is not a SCSI drive, but it does have a 16 bit 
controller.  It is advertised (by Insight) as having a 32K buffer,
but the user manual says nothing about buffer size, and there are no
RAM chips on the controller board.  I suspect that it does have a
large buffer inside the drive.

  The slow version has an 800ms seek time, 2K buffer, and a 150KB/S
transfer rate and an 8 bit controller interface.

The fast one is significantly faster than the slow one when running
the Toolworks encyclopedia (My only benchmark).  Both worked with the 
Soundblaster Pro (Though I did NOT try them with the soundblaster's
CD rom controller.) using default interrupts, DMA channels, etc.
The music samples from the toolworks encyclopedia were a little 
distorted when they were played through the soundblaster.

I have the same setup, and had the same problem. I had TSLCDR.SYS

installed it, and rebooted without a hitch. It seems to load a

CD-ROM applications.

An interesting note is that I had an old version of ASAPI2DOS,
and when I was running that I had no problem. It is only when I upgraded
to the latest ASPI2DOS that I ran into problems (I needed to upgrade
to support PC Tools 8.0 with my SCSI tape drive).

It is an acronym for "Small Computer System Interface", a standard orginally
developed by Shugart Associates (then called Shugart Associates System
Interface or SASI).  It was approved in 1986 by ANSI as the standard for using
a 50-pin connector for multiple devices (up to eight--including the host) to be
connected in a daisy-chain fashion.

We have no manuals besides the instruction manual, which describes

Also any other information on how to use this drive from my own programs

On the contrary- the Soundblaster Pro _does_ come with CD-ROM drivers.
Last time I saw one, though, it was for some oddball Mitsubishi cdrom.
It'll probably work- look in the last section of the Soundblaster
manual.

If not, get CorelSCSI (about $70.00)

Does anyone out there know how or where I could obtain the Phone Disk 
telephone directories cheap?  They are usually $900 each but DAK sells 
them for roughly $150 for the pair; that is if you've bought a CD drive
from them.  Any ideas?
