Hey netters,
As I don't typically read the amiga newsgroups, I hope I'm sending
this to the right one. I recently read about the new CDTV system and
would like to get some developers information about it. I, along with
som companions, have been planning an educational application for IBC
PCs and CD-ROM, but CDTV sounds like a much better platform.
Anyway, if anyone out there has an address that I can write to for
information on developers kits, hardware requirements, and so on,
please let me know (Snail mail is ok, prefer e-mail). Also, if
anybody out there has experience writing applications for CDTV, drop
me a line, I'd like to hear about your experiences.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Describe your project in a couple of pages, then send that and a request to: A Commercial CDTV Developer Package E. J. Mungin CATS Dept. 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 I believe they suggest using an Amiga 2500/30 as the development system, and an Amiga 2000HD as the CDTV player emulator. best - kevin <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>

Try callling CATS in West Chester, PA (areacode 215). I don't know the number but I bet information does. Also a friend of mine is working for Applied Optical Media, of World Vista fame. ---------- Ryan Sheftel UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!ryan Internet: undrground!ryan@amix.commodore.com

I don't know the number... Hey, why is it that no one can remember where we live!?! :-) Here it is again, everyone capture this as there will be a test next week. Send mail to: CATS-Admin 1200 Wilson Drive West Chester, PA 19380 And ask for information on the developer support program. I believe that you can also call (215) 431-9180 and they will send you the info. There are two developer levels, both require that you be working on a product that you believe will make it to market. Developer status includes a subscription to AmigaMail (our technical newsletter), access to beta software, access to developers conferences, and access to closed conferences on BIX. Commercial status also includes phone support. Certified Developer, $75/year, no phone support, no other requirements. $25 signup cost. Commercial Developer, $450/year, phone support, requires that you have an existing product on the market. $50 signup cost. CATS also offers materials such as DevCon notes, 1.3 Developer Update, and AmigaMail. The 2.0 Native Developer Update is not ready yet. Specific 2.0 materials currently only available to registered developers. Prices and ordering information are available at the above address. **** Most of the CATS developer support materials are available **** **** to non-developers, so you can get the technical information **** **** even if you do not want to become a developer. **** -- Ken Farinsky - CATS - Commodore Business Machines

Just to add to Ken's response Currently, you must become a registered Amiga CDTV developer to get the CDTV docs. Commercial ($450) program members who submit CDTV-specific product profiles or plans can currently receive the CDTV docs for free. Certified ($75) program members who submit CDTV-specific product profiles or plans may purchase the CDTV docs for an additional $75. To qualify for the Certified program, you must be developing a salable product for the Amiga. To qualify for the Commercial program, you must have existing commercial products on some platform. If you are in the US and would like a CDTV developer application, you could mail your request and US Mail address to leslie@commodore.com If you are in a different country, you must contact your local Commodore developer support organization. -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- Tech.
