Amiga CDTV

[Cauterize]

I scored a A570 Amiga CD drive today and i was really wanting to check this beast out...

Unfortunately i have no games whatsoever for it...
I could have swarn ive heard someone talk about CDTV before, Flack did if i remember rightly...

I was jsut hoping someone could give me some info about it and a possible link to somewhere where i can get some isos for it.

Would be greatly appreciated!

Well, the CDTV is basically an A500+ in a CD-player case, and the A570 is afaik 100% compatible, as it contains the extra ROMs the CDTV has for language control/CD-player software.

For ISOs, check roms channels on IRC and/or eMule and other P2P networks. I don't know of any site that has CDTV ISOs online. --- Oh wait, BTTR (http://www.back2roots.org/) has Tie Break online, even a legal download.

More general info about the CDTV can be obtained from this page: http://www.cdtv.org.uk/

The A570 is an addon cdrom for the A500. Won't do anything without the computer! It's a slow drive, but great if you don't have a HD using that port.

EFnet?

Try something like #roms, #romz etc. Also irc.euirc.net and possibly irc.rizen.net

I've got a CDTV, it's utter trash. But try the English Amiga Board, google it. Should be some information on there and someone may have an FTP up, maybe.
