Message-ID: <5828@hub.ucsb.edu> Date: 16 Jun 90 04:25:17 GMT Sender: news@hub.ucsb.edu Organization: UC, Santa Barbara. Physics Computer Services Lines: 10 -Message-Text-Follows- Why didn't the CDTV use a drive mecanism that could handle Video disks (the 12 inch type)? Many of the new laser disk plaiers can read all disk types now (with the exception of CD ROM because these machines were not intended for use with computers). Will there be a laser disk version of the CDTV machine, and will there be an add on option to give my Amiga the capabilities of this machine? Douglas Peale
