- The Philips CD-I players currently on the market do not have any FS/FM video
- capabilities. They do, however, have a cartridge slot on the back which is
- intended for an MPEG-I video extension sometime during 1993. As always, the
- modules will probably be available to developers at a premium price before
- a general consumer launch.

- For more general information on CD-I or on authoring systems for CD-I you
- can contact OptImage at 1-800-CDI-5484 or your local Philips rep.
