Hah! I did indeed forget to reconnect the cable during the various trials.
But as you also note, it is unrelated to the software problems. I still
get nothing with the cable connected.
I just thought to mention it for those case you mentioned that
Also, the cable is needed only if the player uses the CD-player audio
capabilities. MPXPLAY does not, it reads and processes audio tracks
himself instead.
You will need to fiddle with your mpxplay.ini file for sure. But as for

Hi all,
I was setting up my old 486 last weekend, and I had some hard time
getting all the 'COUNTRY.SYS' preferences right. I mean, who on earth
thought that providing pre-compiled sets of preferences is better than
simply asking the user to set each preference himself?
I might have an odd
I saw little in mpxplay.ini that seemed like it was capable of
immediately hanging the system. I commented out UseLFN to no effect. I
also changed SoundCardName from AUTO to S16, and mpxplay reported that
it could not initialize the card or a message to that effect. Then I
changed that to

download hundreds of SIMTEL/BBS and other vintage files a month and I know
that statistically a percentage of those will be incomplete or have CRC

In connection with that, it's perhaps worth noting afresh that DOOM

With Info-Zip (FreeDOS, djgpp, Linux) and pkzip, you can always the
test the file with -t (or -test) command. Which specific version
of Info-Zip have you been using? A specific Info-Zip version and a
