Everyone gets hung up on the data format issue (like CD-I vs XA, etc) without considering that these systems are entirely different, everything outside the disc format itself, that is. Since CD-I is a closed environment with its own OS, Tandy is a flavor of DOS/Windows, and Photo-CD is both a use of a particular data format (useable on many systems) and a hardware system, it is unlikely you will find the "dream" product you seek any time soon. Esp. Philips and Tandy have too much at stake in making their products the "winner" in a fundamental competition for market awareness and share.
