        Well, I'm not too sure you can just plop in th erequired memory into 
the CDTV that easily..what you MAY want to consider is a Xetec or the new 
CBM CD-ROM drives and placing them on an accelerated 500 (the Xetec can go 
on your 3000..) - should be about the same price (well..) and you'd be 
completely compatible with CDTV.
