The Commodore Amiga CDTV, or Commodore CDTV as it was originally known is a bit of retro tech that I've wanted to research and restore for decades. This new Trash to Treasure β„’ series does just that. This old computer sounds odd at first, appearing like a hifi music system it wouldn't look out of place sat on a VCR in your living room. But inside it's a full-blown Commodore Amiga 500 with extra bells and whistles. Designed to compete with similar devices such as the Philips CDi, the CDTV was championed by Atari VCS and Atari founder Nolan Bushnell and released in 1991. Dive into some more computer history and vintage computer restoration with me for the start of a new T2T series.
