Like most things, you must match what you purchase with your intended uses.
|
|
But for starters, you should look for three things: access speed; whether
|
|
the MS CD-ROM Extensions file Ward mentioned in fact is supplied; and
|
|
whether the interface is supplied in the base price.
|
|
A few of the VERY lowest-end products file to provide the .EXE
|
|
file. Many charge extra (as much as $100) for the interface). Access
|
|
speed is a more complex subject and directly relates to your current and
|
|
future plans. If you simply want to read files from the drive, anything
|
|
around 340ms access time is fine. But for technical reasons, if you plan
|
|
to do such things as use reference-book CDs which demand random access of
|
|
index files, you may want something much faster.
|
|
With careful shopping, the lower end of decent products can now be
|
|
had in the U.S. for under $350; higher-end products double or triple that.
|
|
The shortest answer for users who don't need a lot of searching
|
|
capability (or who are willing to wait for the delays) is simply to look
|
|
for a product with the MPC (Multimedia PC Council) compliance logo.
|
|
BTW, the cheapest of the CDs with solid specs has been the Sony
|
|
CDU-535. After eval-ing various alternatives for an article, that's the one
|
|
I personally settled on.which is about the best endorsement I probably
|
|
can make. <G>
|
|
FWIW, if you want a detailed expansion of the above plus a survey
|
|
of a couple of dozen shareware CD disks, one version of my article will
|
|
appear in Shareware Magazine, whose Nov/Dec issue should show up at news
|
|
outlets and computer stores any day now.
|
|
Good luck.

My Sci America arrived on the day that I posted the message. It is the
|
|
Nov 92 issue with a picture of an ant holding a micro-gear. The article
|
|
title is "Software 'glitches' that endanger public safety."
|
|
I have come to the tentative conclusion that even software needs the
|
|
wisdom gained from actual experience.

to ALL re: 386DX "FEATURE"?
|
|
|
|
Here's an interesting quote from DATAMATION, September 15, 1992, p. 19:
|
|
"One problem already turned up in the early prerelease beta version
|
|
of NT: incompatibility with early 'b1' runs of Intel's 386DX
|
|
microprocessor, hundreds of thousands of which have shipped.in
|
|
mid- and high-end machines."
|
|
The "incompatibility" evidentally was some function that differed
|
|
from that on later versions of that chip. Anyone know what it was?
|
|
Anyone know of other functional differences (in 386/486 chips)
|
|
that affect execution of 8086 machine code?
|

It so happens that I just read that Gateway 2000 is offering Sony CD ROMs
|
|
for $225. You and Ward helped me to decide to go that route. Thanks for the
|
|
help.
