- Theoretically possible (in the free expansion port in the back), although
- none is available. The AdIDE from ICD works, but only if you remove the
- CD driver ROM, which kind of takes a way the meaning of buying the CDTV in
- the first place.
-
- >a genlock,
-
- Theoretically possible (can replace the RF/composite video interface card
- in the back), but as far as I know, none is available. You can use an
- external genlock however, just like the A500.
-
- >a flickerfixer
-
- Theoretically possible to put in the video slot, just like a genlock, but
- none is available. The ICD flicker-fixer would probably work, but you could
- probably not put the lid on.
-
- >and additional RAM
-
- Theoretically possible to add fast RAM in the same slot as the HD, but nothing
- is available. 1 MB of chip RAM can be added via the DKB 2 MB chip mem board.

-
- Yes, it emulates both a joystick, mouse and (limited) numeric keypad.
-
-
- If you need all that, it sounds like you maybe should buy a "normal" Amiga
- instead?
