- If you want to go a little further, set-up a Scala or Amiga Vision script

- are so lazy). Game CD's like DataStorm are accessing custom chips in the
- CDTV and are never likely to work outside of a CDTV.

- Try the Amicdrom driver, it works nicely for plain CD access.

- Try re-assigning all the dir etc (at batch re-assing prog like defdisk or
- sysmover saves some effort) and then execute the s:startup-sequence and
- cross your fingers and look for O/S errors that will tell you what O/S
- you should boot with next time and you might get lucky.

- If anyone has more CDTV disks they've gotten to fly, pass along the info
- along with the 'how' e.g. degrader, reboot kick 1.3, Pal boot etc.
