"I can see games not working if they use the Akido(sp) chip but there is no excuse for them not running otherwise. What could it take?" It would take the special CDROM drivers that Commodore would not make available for the Amiga. Sometimes the extra functions in the CDTV drivers are useful to a CDROM developer and they will use the functions, making the software incompatible with the plain drivers used on Amigas. If Commodore had included the drivers with AmigaDOS, CDTV/32 developers would have millions of additional potential customers. Instead, Commodore kept CDTV/32 walled-off and essentially a separate platform (somewhat compatible, but people don't want to chances with "somewhat"). -Chris
