Dear friends, I have a CDTV Commodore with the following data: ASSY NO. 250484 Rev. 2.3 Internal eprom version: I.C. – U34 labeled: CDTV EVEN CH = 776B I.C. – U35 labeled: CBM 39109-01 U35 00DD V 1.0 2A40 AmigaDos 1.3 I installed the ASIMCDFS (general file system for CD-Rom) on my CDTV. The ASIMCDFS works also on CDTV if it has AmigaDos 2.0 or greater. I opened my CDTV and installed a ROM of AmigaDos 2.04 on: the CDTV does work no more. The CDTV works in CDTV-mode if jumper's plug line 1 and 2 of JP15 are closed, but, if open, it work as Amiga, booting from the disk drive. Using the last configuration, the CDTV actually works (as calculator), but shocking the plug line 1 and 2 it does not in CDTV-mode. I there anybody able to solve my problem ? Every suggestion is welcome !! Roma, october 4 1993 Giovanni Marconi

The CDTV system rom included with the standard CDTV does not work with the version 2.04 kickstart ROM. However, there does exist a CDTV rom which will work with both 1.3 and 2.04; I've heard a company in the UK is planning to sell that rom. You might start checking the ads in Amiga Format, and when I hear anything about it I'll post here. Until then, there's not much you can do; the CDTV rom you have doesn't like 2.0. andy

the upgrade for the cdtv is a 2.1 upgrade and requires 2 ROMS to be replaced. you must replace both of them. it is available now i heard the set was somewhere around $60 – $75. that is 2.05 ROMs
