No, it's Microsloth's Winslow/4 Workgroups which doesn't support COREL.

I have a NEC CDR-37, which I suspect is similar to the 35.  The 36 is a SCSI
device, but since it is intended to be a "portable" device, NEC only put one
port on it.  It runs fine on my Adaptec 1542, but of course it always has to
be the last external device on the chain.

I have very limited experience with other systems since this is my first PC.

I have a 486DX2-50, 16 M mem, Speedstar 24x Graphics controller (I think these

Card.

I love it!  I have played with a small number of CDs and haven't noticed
any chopy-ness or graphics/audio stutter.  The CDs I tried are US Street
Atlas, Carmen San Diego and Compton's Multimedia Encyclopedia (last year's).

My only complaint was when I tried connecting the audio out of the Drive
into the Sound Blaster Pro board.  Texel didn't include the audio cable
and no one in town had one.  So $15 for the cable and almost $6 shipping,
Texel sent me one.  10" of 3-wire and the cheapest plastic connectors
should be no where near $15.

Hope this helps.

I am getting a Gateway computer and they offer a CD-ROM package with it for
about $225. The CD-ROM is a SONY 31A. Any Advice as to whether I should take 
that chance. Please explain some of the technical details if possible. 
The system I am getting is in the 486V series.

If you don't recommend it, please suggest an alternative and the corresponding 
hardware cards that will work with an ISA or a 32-bit VESA interface on the 
V Gateway system.

They must have been afraid that everyone would call "SCSI" what everyone now

True, except that there is not a +26v pin on SCSI as was suggested.  There is a
+5V pin that is often not fused, however.

My understanding of the FSF and Stallman is very different from yours;
as far as I know he is not against profit, he is against monopolies like
those conferred by copyrights and patents. He himself lives off
consultancy work. Cygnus.COM is a definitely for profit company that
cooperates with the FSF.

As long as the profit is derived from a service, like putting together
the GNU distribution, or doing maintenance and support, the FSF and
Stallman are very happy. They are less happy when the profit comes from
restricting sharing of ideas and works base don them.

Hello,

I'm looking for information on where to buy CD-ROM cut-outs in singles
or bulk.  A "cut-out" is a discontinued or outdated item that is sold at
a fraction of the original price (originally started with LP vinyl).
I'm looking to give these away as promotional items on my BBS, so I'm
not expecting to pay more than $10-15/ea.

Typical cut-out might be at atlas CD-ROM from 1990 (way old!), shareware
CD-ROM, GIF CD-ROM, etc.

If you know of a CD-ROM cut-out distributor, please email me at
victor.volkman@hal9k.ann-arbor.mi.us.

Thank you!

Pinnacle Micro announced at MacWorld Expo in San Francisco a new,
recordable CD-ROM drive with a list price of $3,995!  This price
includes ISO 9660 and HFS software for Macs.  PC interface kit and
software is extra $200.

This device is half-height, 5.25" SCSI, 1x recording speed.  Supports
all commond CD-ROM formats, including multiple-session.  Supports
standard write-once media, including Kodak's.

I asked a rep if you need a fast hard disk to feed this device, as you
do with many other write-once drives.  His reply (paraphrased):

    We tested this with the slowest hard drive we could find - and
    Apple 40 Mb.  Worked fine.  All you need is a hard drive with
    173 Kb/sec throughput.  Floppies won't work, but everything else
    we tried did work.

Well, don't know if this is hype or not, but this rep also claimed the
entire January production run was sold out, and they were now taking
February delivery orders.

The device was not much to look at - looks like a half-height CD-ROM
drive in and external box.

Proper software to drive these boxes has been the Achille's heel of
earlier write-once CD-ROM drives.  The Pinnacle rep claimed they had
been working more than one year on the software, and acknowledged that
writing it was difficult (again paraphrasing, he used non-family-values
language here :-).

For me, and several other MacWorld Expo attendees I talked to, this
announcement was the highlight of the show.

Presumbably, you can get more information by contacting:

Agree, All I did was the following. Got the EZ-SCSI which has the
ASPI4DOS, ASPIDISK and ASPICD modules. The one CD module supports
several drives (listed in the docs - all major ones). Update was
easy. Cost?? Since I owned an old ASW-1410 it was $29 and came in
5 days.

If you own ASW-1210, ASW-1410, or ASW-410, you can upgrade to Adaptec
EZ-SCSI by following these guidelines:

1.)  Send your original software diskette or manual front cover,
2.)  Along with a check for $29.00,
3.)  Mail to:

             Adaptec
             c/o Software Product Marketing
             691 S. Milpitas Blvd.
             Milpitas, CA  95035

You will get the latest ASPI managers for all of Adaptec's SCSI host adapters,
the latest ASPI disk module and partitioning utility, a CD-ROM driver along
with a graphical CD-ROM audio play utility, an auto installation utility,
a SCSI low-level format utility, ASPI for Windows drivers, and a Windows
SCSI Interrogator utility.


I also call Adaptec's Technical support number:
Adaptec                 800-959-7274    Tech Support people

and eventualy got a person (abt 4 mins) and asked if there was a
ROM update and there was. I had a BIOS 3.08  1988, he sent
the BIOS ROM 3.20 and a new 8085 firmware. Plugged in fine
and now my 1542B is 'new'.

I would if I could, but it's not included in the books.  The
information, for those who may have missed it:

   The Complete Monty Python's Flying Circus: All the Words
      (2 volumes, trade paperback).
   ISBN 0-679-72647-0 (v. 1)
   ISBN 0-679-72648-9 (v. 2)
   Published in the United States by Pantheon Books, a division of Random
   House, Inc., New York.
   Published in the United Kingdom as "Monty Python's Flying Circus: Just
   the Words" by Methuen London.

Go to your local bookstore and ask them whether they have it and why not.

Incidentally, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a lawyer, nor do I
play one on television, with or without a penguin on top, despite the
penguin currently sitting on top of my terminal.  It's conceivable (but
seems unlikely to me) that the FTP site is legal under the "fair use"
provisions of copyright law.  Odd that penguin being there.

I agree.  All sweeping generalisations bore me.

Welll it depends on what you call a "Python Movie"... there's stuff
like Fish Called Wanda, Yellowbeard etc. that have a good few of the
cast in them, but not all... anyway,
True Python:

Holy Grail
Life of Brian
The Meaning of Life
(Various complilations of sketches incl And Now For (etc.), Parrot
Sketch Not Included, and MP live at the Hollywood Bowl (Which just
finished on Channel 4 about 15 mins ago... Tray Nice)

Pseudo-Python:
Fish Called Wanda
Jabberwocky
Yellowbeard
(Shit... I can't remember any others... I'm not including pure
Gilliam stuff, like Brazil, coz it's got no others)


This helps.
