I like them, but I've never sold one, bought one, had one or used one. That might be why I like them :D

I’ve never used one. It never worked for long enough to actually run anything

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.

Found the issue... i'll go over how i found this in a video. It was a total bar steward.

I'm gonna go full Liam Neeson on the designer of this machine..

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 :lol:
