- Yes, but it won't let you run CDTV-specific software on the 3000. Most
- software for the CDTV isn't CDTV-specific however, so it will let you run
- it on the A3000.
-
- Not that it matters too much, if you want to run a CDTV-specific title you
- could just boot up the CDTV.

-
- The supposed A570 product is only for the A500 and A500+.

- >... will I then be able to run CDTV software ???
-
- No, the best deal for us A3000 owners is to buy a CDTV, connect it to PARNET
- for CD-ROM use, and use the CDTV itself for titles that use CDTV-unique
- features like CDXL.
