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

[pyrre]

I got it for $27.61, have not tested it yet though...
It has only one (visual) defect, a missing button...
And it misses the remote controller.

I will test it after i have eaten dinner...

EDIT:
could not wait...... :-D
And it works!

Now i need the remote, a keyboard (vill standard ps2 work?), and the floppydrive. And a cd caddy .....

EDIT 2:
And the best part, it has the warranty seals intact....(!)

You can take an A4000 keyboard and wire it to work with CDTV quite easily

Problem is, i don't have an A4000 keyboard.... (yet)

The salvation army has a local store selling old used stuff...
It was sold as a cd player...
No one knew it was an old (to some valuble) computer....

EDIT:
Oh, and no one knew if it worked or not....

On the inside of the casing it is labeled rev. 2.2.1

But on the right hand side (face towards you) there is a large connector. looking almost like newer type scsi connector. only slimmer. Do anyone know what this connector is intended for?

And the cd-rom inside the CDTV, is it a proprietary system or is it more like SCSI or IDE. In other words, is it possible to change it into a newer rom with tray loading and a bit faster speed than 1x?

Got the CDcaddy today. Good to see that the cdtv works.
Cool GUI on the cd player.

Is it possible to make bootable cds to the cdtv on my own.
perhaps booting old amiga games or even WB from a cd and run games from it...
