And best of all, the German seller called ace-x is still selling brand new
remotes and rodents for the CDTV, as well as new A4000T motherboards
(unpopulated) and stacks of Amiga floppy drives. I'd double-check his
username but my ISP is being shit to say the least :( I can't even get to
local UK sites ATM....is this the beginning of Demon's downfall?

The web site that I visited shows a picture of the black monitor and at
another site I found the model number for it. No I didn't get the start-up
disk (the seller kept it?) but I did get 1 black cd caddy with it. I also
got a copy of the hook-up instructions and volume one Catalog of Titles
which list both software and hardware for the unit.

Those are fun. I used to have one until it was stolen in a burglary.
If you can't find a CDTV IR keyboard, it's possible to whip up a
keyboard converter to use a wired Amiga keyboard.
If you are having problems finding a black external 3.5" FD, an
ordinary beige Amiga A1010 works great.
I do not know if there was ever a black monitor, but a regular Commodore
1080 or 2002 or any monitor that will sync to 15KHz (NEC 3d) will work,
as will a TV set.
The caddy is black, but is mechanically identical to the common caddies
used in CD-ROM drives of the vintage.
I "explored" mine with a DNet cable and the netkeys-handler. Another
Amiga to the side provided the mouse and keyboard inputs over the
"network".
