- Ok - I was at the show in Pasadena and this is what one of the Digital
- Creations' Techs told me when the conversation turned to CDTV/DCTV...
-
- Commodore and Digital Creations decided it would be best for both
- companies if they did their DCTV in CDTV deal this way..........
-
- Digital Creations has a product (right now) that plugs into one of CDTV's
- slots - The device is basically DCTV in a very compact plug in card form.
- The card is only available for commercial use right now but may be
- available to consumers if enough interest is shown. Or in other words
- --- ALL YOU CDTV OWNERS OUT THERE MAKE A RUCKUS AND MAYBE YOU'LL
- --- BE ABLE TO HAVE A MUTIMEDIA PLAYER THAT CAN COMPETE W/CDI'S
- --- GRAPHICS (although - what I have seen of CDI's nifty looking
- --- tv quality graphics were tres slow...)
