It's a shame these are old fashioned, I bought about 4 CDs *ONLY* because 
they were CD+G, and didn't even like the music.  But I loved being able 
to do something that had Mac/PC users in awe.

Well, you do have to select it as a CD+G (or CD+MIDI) Disc, it gives ya a 
whole different interface.

Yes, it's true, that's exactly what I used.  That old A570 seemed to run 
all the old CDTV stuff, as well.  ;)

>Anyone know ? 

There are a couple of Drives that emulate the CD32, I don't know if they 
do, or not (I seem to remember one of the ones for the 1200 advertising 
that it did, but don't know for sure, or if it worked).  My friend with 
the latest ASIMCDFS 3.x says that it won't do it.  That would have been 
nice.  Also note, a SonyPlayStation will NOT.  *THEY* coulda helped keep 
that format alive, but NOOOOO.... 

Hope that helps, Markus.
