Dear Fellow Travlers;
Want to stepup to the world of multi-media? Then this is for you!!!
Dear Correspondants:
As with last week's Junque Mail, I'm here again pushing
some obsolete multi-media hardware/software. OOPS! I don't mean
the Hardware or Software is obsolete, only that I am dis-investing
in multi-media [the big buzz-word in computers today]. I have
decided that since I use the CD/ROM drive in my system less than
once a month, it is a luxery I can no longer afford. OH! One more
thing, this unit is an IBM PC compatible unit. It WILL work with
Apple MacIntosh also, but you'de have to buy drivers etc for it,
as the ones I have that I'm throwing in are for the IBM.
So, here we go again.
FOR SALE ---- ONE CD/ROM DRIVE with Accessories.
The drive itself is an external model, so if you have a small
computer with zero internal drive bays left, it won't matter. The
DM-5024 is manufactured by the Texel Corporation, a Japaneese firm
with local offices in Santa Clara, California. It comes in a
9.5 x 10 x 2.125 inch white plastic enclosure with its own internal
power supply, and an internal audio amplifier for CDs with sound
clips on them.
The Interface card and the software are manufactured by
Trantor Systems, Inc of Freemont, Ca. Both the Drive unit and the
SCSI interface card have very extensive documentation. The software
documentation is contained on the disks themselves in the form
of read.me and help files.
The accessories pack for this excellent value includes:
the CD caddy [of course!] a pair of stereo headphones for the
drive's audio amplifier, all the connecting cables and hardware
necessary to install this unit in an IBM PC {I don't know about
the MacIntosh ... but both the drive and SCSI interface ARE com-
patible with Apple.} and TEN CDs complete with any auxilliary
software necessary to run them, jewel cases for each CD, and of
course the documentation on these CDs.
The CDs are: 1] PUBLISH IT! (version 2.0) by Timeworks
software. This CD includes a built in graphics tool box, 69 fonts,
a thosand clip art images, 85 ready to use sample layouts and a
complete word processor. [plus THICK users manual. The others
all have documentation, but Publish It is the best.
2] The Aircraft Encyclopedia by Quantum Press
3] CD Game Pack II by Software Toolworks
4] GUIDE Star Charts (Version 3.0) Probably the best
Star Chart/Planetarium program available in the USA today. See
Review in a recent (June or July, 93) issue of Sky and Telescope.
5] US History on CD/Rom by Bureau Development Corp.
6] US Atlas and AUTO MAP by Software Toolworks
7] Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia - is what
I was using the most often.
8] The Best of Media Clips, by ARIS entertainment. This
disk has photographs, .wav and .midi sounds and other neat multi-
media things.
9] Selected Astronomical Catalogs from NASA, the guys who
brought you the Challenger Disaster. This disk is a pretty good
one however, full of diffrent star catalogs, including the Yale
Bright Star Catalog and the Gliese catalogue.
10] North American Indians, by Quanta Press.
All these CDs are contained in a hansome, utilitarian plastic
"media Mate" which will keep them handy, safe and out of the way
when you're not using them.
The price of this complete package is $550.00 {US$ only}. As for shippi
ng,
I'll pick up the first $20.00 - which will be enough to send this via 3rd
class slow-boat to china mail in the US. After that, YOU pay the shipping.
The package, which is all packed, just waiting for a lable weighes 18 pounds
[better round off to 20 to account for vagerencies in bathroom scales.] Now
you can shop around and decide for yourself how fast and how much ...
Anyone interested in this should contact me, electronically via E.Mail,
before the 4th of July. The price of $550.00 for the entire package is
guarenteed until then.
