Wouldn't this mean that if there were seperate controller programs for different machine formats, then the same CD could be used with a Mac or a PC ? Not only would this slash production costs, but it would also guarentee any potential software publisher that their product would sell on at least one of these machines. It would also guarentee CBM increased sales because everyone would soon realise how much cheaper it is to use a CDTV than a Mac or PC with CD-ROM drive, and still be able to run the same applications.
