Me too, you need a Reelmagic card for the PC to make it White Book 
compatible, or an MPEG adapter for a 3DO or, as you say, a Phillips 
CDI machine. I am waiting for the 3DO's MPEG adapter because the 
Reelmagic isn't as good.
  A friend working at a computer shop has offered to play it on the 
display computers for me someday, so as soon as he gets round to it 
I'll let everyone know what it's like. It's a pity that Kate hasn't 
released a CD-ROM as it seems to be the latest thing for music 
wizards to do. We can live in hope, I suppose.
