- Teoretically, you can disassemble the ends of the cables and make

- CD-I would be hard to test practically I guess, but with proper

- >4. How do I make it CD32 compatible?

- The commercial IDEFix software package contains a CD32 emulator.
- I do not know for the moment if the demo version also contains this.
