Lew Eggy's (don't ask me to spell his name) interview in Amazing
indicates CBM has no plans to make the CD32 into another computer. It
would compete too much with the 1200, and besides they tried making
the CDTV a do all machine and we know how far that went. CBM wants to
keep the focus of the CD32 as a game machine, with possible
multimedia and video applications. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, you never know what CBM's final plans are so this could
change in the next couple of weeks <g>. And even if CBM doesn't
create the computer add-on's, that won't stop some 3rd party company
from trying it.
