- It's going to take more than an AGA CDTV for me to buy one. It's going to
- take a unified CDROM solution for the entire amiga line, of which I consider
- CDTV to be a part. Having "special code" for the CDTV was a very serious
- mistake. It splits your CDROM market, and discourages development of
- software.
-
- I'm tired of waiting...I've decided to start cheap with a used TG16 CDROM,
- and wait and see if CD-I or 3DO takes off.
