Hi,

I am looking to buy a CD-I with a Digital Video Card.

Preferably model 220 But I will consider any offers at all.

Since this is hard to come by,
this WTB is also on a couple of other forums, but I will edit right away once I buy one.

I simplified the original post, when re-reading it, it came across too picky.

Thanks for the tip.
CD-I's are very heavy so I am hesitant to buy overseas, but I haven't ruled out buying overseas.

The other problem is that I would need a transformer for the different voltage.

There is more but to be honest, I'd get the CDI-210 on the previous post from the UK, Its in original box and only £19.99 + postage (Around £50?)

I've been searching for CD-I's on Ebay (including the UK, German and French sites) for over three weeks now and haven't found anything like that!

The search term I had been using was "philips cd-" or just "cd-i", and it did bring a little stuff up, but not anything like what you found, which was why I was getting desperate.

After looking at your links, I tried using just "cdi" and then narrowing by category. I have no idea why I didn't think of that before.

So there are a lot more on Ebay than I thought.

I've found the most to be on the UK Ebay, German Ebay, and French Ebay.

I'm also going to try and put an ad out locally.

I need to look into what sort of converter to go from UK power plugs to US power plugs. And also a transformer for the voltage difference.

Would doing this burn out the system faster?

Anyway, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I'll report back when I get one....
