- WRONG! The CDTV was the first Amiga with a CD drive as standard and
- the CD32 was the second. They're both now out of production BUT I
- think it would be great if Amiga Technologies had the cash to
- develop a next generation CD console that could compete in the games
- market.

- I wasn't sure how to take the set-top boxes. Would they have a CD
- drive in them or are they to work based on Cable?
-
- > Anyway, the Amiga CD development will loose speed if the CD32 is forgotten.
-
- I'm not sure that is true. They are coming out with the Q Drive for
- the 1200. I'm sure they'll find something for the 4000.

- Cheers mate.
