- The cards are different, anybody know how different ie, is the idea of an
- adapter right out to lunch???
-
- I don't think the "card" standard existed/finalised when the CDTV was
- designed and the CBM engineers took their best shot at it and ah well
- missed :-). I would expect (hope) that if another CDTV unit is designed
- it would use the same cards as the A600 (as well as having a 68040, lots
- of 32 bit and is Unix ready :-)).
-
- When can we expect card readers for the 500/1000/2000/3000 ???
