10 our of 10 for trying. Might be a good one to come back to when you get some more CDTV inspiration?

Nah i'm completely done with the CDTV. I never got the thing to boot one of my boards and i'm wasting sh*tloads of time I dont have on it.

I dont plan any more A500 based accelerators anyways so it might just end up in landfill. I'm really glad i didnt borrow someones CDTV now or i'd feel really bad.

So no chance for an 030 with 64 MB RAM for the 1000/500(+)/2000? :cry:

I’m not totally against that either as I have an A4000/030 waiting for some power.
