  I've just read a few magazine a few days ago.  I have found out that Xetec
had made a CDROM for the Amiga for about $599 (internal?) $699 (external?)
I forgot the price, but I guess it's around there.  I look through another
magazine and found out that there's a picture of the CDTV that was made by
commodore.  That was base on the A500 with CDROM in it too.  It look more
like a VRC than a computer though.  And it said, the retail would be about $895.
Ooops VCR not VRC.
So, I have one question.  Why is the CDTV that include the CPU 1 Meg of memory
1.3 ROM and CDROM costs only $895.  While the CDROM made by Xetec cost about
$700?  If that is the case, maybe you can just buy the whole CDTV and
connect the CDROM to your amiga, then you might get an extra 1 Meg of ram too.
So, I want to know if they are going to make any CDROM that will cost less
than $300?
