Now that CDTV is available, a question/proposal:
How about making an MS-DOS emulator that is specialized in reading
and running MS-DOS CD-ROMs? There are many such discs out already,
but most of them come with proprietary software on them for querying,
and this software is mostly written for MS-DOS.
So: IBeM author, are you hearing? Doesn't this sound interesting?

And for the same matter: How about an AMAX-CDTV? Then you could run all
those CD-ROMs for Macs.

Well I know, we only have a 7 MHz 68000 there, but for those query
programs, it perhaps will do. Oh, I forgot, when CD-ROMs carry
graphics, this is normally at least EGA, so this could turn out as
the hard part.
