Can anyone in here say for sure whether an external (or internal) CD-ROM drive will be made available for the A2000/500? I am not sure what to do...I can mess about with a Sony I have, and try to interface that which was not designed to be interfaced, or I can sell it and buy a Xetec CD-ROM for not all that much more, or wait for Commodore's peripheral. Is Xetec's CD-ROM compatible with CDTV? i.e. will I be able to buy discs intended for CD-ROM and use them on the A2500/Xetec combo? Will Commodore be releasing an external CD-ROM or on ethat fits on my 5.25" drive bay at all? I had thought that one would be released shortly after the CDTV but I have heard rumours that there won't be one, that the CDTV bears VERY LITTLE resemblance to an Amiga, that it doesn't use Intuition, all sorts of nasty things in fact! I know it' based on an A500 but have they made it an A500 + some CD hardware or just a CD-ROM with a chopped-up Amiga motherboard to control it?
