I got my hands on a CDTV today... :-)

Need the remote as it ads lots of functionality to it. It's the best remote I've seen out thee, wish the PS3 had something similar. all funciotns for CD access in a gamepad style config.

The CD32 is sooo much better in many ways.

You can take an A4000 keyboard and wire it to work with CDTV quite easily. I had the actual CDTV keyboard. It looked really nice in black and didn't turn yellow on me LOL! I rewired the CDTV keyboard for use with the CD32 and A4000. Wish I never solid it!

I got all that crap when Commodore had the fire-sale just before releasing the AGA amigas (guess they were liquidating as a prep for CD32) They had a good deal. Call a 1-800number and a unit got shipped right to your door.

Lousy software though, the single speed CD-rom was lame, and it should have had an 020 cpu and 2 megs chip ram to do the sort of things they wanted.

Would love to have seen a AAA chipset version of this.

Aside from that it was quite nice. CD-i had great 16 bit color and a 68000 cpu that was suppoedly fast. And lots more software.

The CD-Rom is proprietary. Many early PC CD-Roms before the Multimedia PC spec were like that. Can't upgrade the CD unless you use a scisi adapter.

I used the CDTV as a cd-rom drive via Parnet if I remember correctly. Worked pretty good connected to an A1000 and A2000.
