    That's quite the setup, it even includes a bunch of documentation. CD-I pricing is a hard one, there are not many that are into collecting for this system, but in my opinion 200 pounds for any development system complete w/ documentation doesn't sound like a bad deal at all.

    It appears to be broken, as the owner of the site can't get it to display anything. Either that or they just have no idea how to use it properly, which is funny considering that they have all the documentation. Anyone willing to take the plunge?

    I had quite a bit of CD-i stuff at one point, hoping to get back into it at some point.

    I would love to have it. Unfortunately, I wouldn't have any idea how to get it working let alone actually use it. Too bad, it's sweet looking system.

    £200 seems like a pretty good deal for a dev unit + documentation, given that even standard units can go for around that amount.

    Only snag might be the cost of shipping something that heavy.

    damn only if it was in the usa!

    I wonder if it requires an old monitor for display. I see it has markings for composite W/R/Y on it.

    There is a decent chance of bringing this thing back to life.
    It would be really interesting to see what it can do.
