That would be great, tho probably expensive because of the totally different video hardware between CDTV/CD-I. Do you recall which issue that was in? Was it a true quote from CBM, or just a rumor column? > I expect Commodore will offer CDTV-compatability packages for most of their > machines, but I don't think it will be 100% (no upgrade path), I would guess that programs which didn't rely on CDTV hardware (the personality RAM module or front display comes to mind) should work okay (?). thx - kevin
