- The consumer CD-I player displays on a TV and operates with wireless
- remote joystick control (couch-proof) or a mouse or trackball.
-
- A professional CD-I development machine can contain a network
- connection, a hard disk, a floppy, a monitor (instead of TV), etc..
- Since it is actuallly a fully equipped computer running a multitasking
- OS, you can do remote logins and have information on your workstation.
- I suppose that holds for NT as well, but I'm not yet familiar with it.
- There is also a PC-based CD-I development system. For more
