[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] CDTV CD-ROM

My local dealer was able to get CDTV to boot up WB 1.3 and the ROM drive.
Yes, it looks and acts just like an A500.  The thing is the  ROM drive only
shows 410meg of capacity.  The strange thing is it has 2048 byte per block
instead of normal 512byte per block.  I am wondering if the files from the
ROM will work with regular amiga or not.  Because if you use info under the
shell, you only see a 104 meg drive because it is treated as 512bytes per block.
But if you go to wb and under disk information, you get 2048 b/block.  
Interesting huh?  I am going to try to get the speed of the ROM drive.  Wonder
how fast or slow it is?  Anyone knows already?
