- I have two of them and would be somewhat tweaked if it proved
- impossible to get this functionality by doing anything but buying
- another CTDV (which I basically would refuse to do and that would be
- that). This goes double given that Commodore more or less promised
- that this technology would be made available for EXISTING owners just
- as soon as it became available in a "we won't abandon the brave souls
- who took the first step" pledge, of sorts.
-
- There was also a DCTV-on-a-card thingie that people reported seeing at
- various times and was supposed to be really cheap (some Commodore
- salesmen were throwing numbers like "$50 and $75" around at
- tradeshows). What ever happened to that?
-
- What ever happened to the much vaunted Kodak Photo-CD support, for that
- matter?
-
- It almost seems as if Commodore are determined not to tell us anything
- here - I had to hear about the 2.0 CTDV from a 3rd party, still no word
- on buying the new ROMs as an upgrade.
-
- Sigh..
