Default CDTV free memory
Does anyone know how much memory the cd-rom and extended stuff takes up in the cdtv?

I.e., having the cdrom driver, how much free mem is left if the machine is booted without ss?

If you take the top cover off the CDTV there is a jumper just below the left hand air vent that you can remove to disable the CD drive and free up the memory used.

I remember adding a switch, passing the wire through the air vent to disable the drive to play formula 1 back in the day :-)

At the time I was so gutted after buying the CDTV then finding out It didn't play some 1mb games (aka F1) Luckely a mag revealed the jumper tip. I almost took it back to Dixon's because of this btw! :-o
