I like them, but I've never sold one, bought one, had one or used one. That might be why I like themForgottenmyname wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 10:36 pm I used to sell Amigas back in the day and it was my least favourite too, that and we hardly sold any.

A kludge is a workaround or quick-and-dirty solution that is clumsy, inelegant, inefficient, difficult to extend and hard to maintain.

Re: My CDTV Nightmare
I’ve never used one. It never worked for long enough to actually run anything

Re: My CDTV Nightmare
Only thing I found they were good for was viewing PD on CD or playing your audio cds.
The CD32 was a much better choice.

Re: My CDTV Nightmare
LoL you are like a dog with a bone Steph ,
The disturbing thing I found about the CDTV mobo that it has no support underneath in the case and when you are plugging in new hardware the bloody mobo flexes disturbingly downwards into fresh air !, and I was always thinking well if that aint cracked any joints or ripped a trace then I am `Huckleberry Finn !"
And it was really a Barsteward to take the mobo out and install stuff so time consuming
But it will be interesting to see in your video what transpired bud
And liam would`ave shoved an Axe through it well before now mate
