As I understand it, that card slot is for the digital video option. How do you like your CD-I anyway.... was it worth it ? If that can expand it to a fully functional PC, I would have bought one, I checked with them and it can not. At least not officially. They should have thought ahead. If not actually spending the bucks to sell complete PC systems they could have at least thought of putting in extra slots and sockets so the user wouldn't feel so boxed in. * Origin: The_Unknown_origin (305)/XXX-XXXX Located in Lauderhill/FL
