I got my hands on a CDTV today... :-)
« on: November 01, 2007, 03:39:41 PM »
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....(!)

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 hold of a CDTV recently for $30NZ.  I managed to track down a CDTV keyboard, 1223 mouse, 1411 floppy and 1200 trackball all in nice Commodore black!!

The trackball is really good because it contains two standard joystick ports that allows you to use a standard Amiga joystick.

Any interesting device to get is the 1301 genlock which when installed has a S-Video port giving a better picture than the composite output.  RGB is better but not everyone has a 1084S esp a nice black one!

The only thing missing is some nice CDTV software!

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....
