I highly approve of this. Never knew they made a "CD-i Blaster." Hope you can track one down!

Makes me wonder about the possibility of a PSX or Saturn on an ISA prototyping board... THAT would be cool.

PSA: as far as I know the 3DO Blaster system BIOS has never been dumped & made available for emulation. It seems most of these cards are shelf ornaments owned by "collectors" rather than people who actually stuff them in a machine and use them. If you're able to make an image of it, there are a bunch of us in the 3DO community who'd be highly appreciative. 😀

Really cool project!

I'm planning on connecting my Saturn devkit, but sadly it's external.

Right now I'm on the hunt for GMAKER for PC-FX.
> edit: got ahold of it

There is an i2m pci card which according to the scarce info available does that same thing and might be easier to find. But it's PCI and it's not consumer oriented. And a system with PC-FX/GA and 3DO Blaster ISA boards? Totally rad!

There's the DTL-H2000 for that, though you'll need at least 2 ISA slots, and preferably a third one for CD emulation.
Also it uses an external CD drive, if you prefer an internal drive the 2700 is the better one, but more rare and expensive.
You can also go with the 2500, but it's a PCI card.

Nice build & interesting posts everyone.
I'm also in look for CD-i/PC, but I doubt these made it on the market.
Will keep looking if sth comes up.

Also, may I suggest another addition to your system?
An Amstrad Mega PC Sega Genesis ISA card - it will need some hack with the case
and to determine & connect the video signals, but it's do-able (I did it on mine, similar to yours long ago).

Other hybrids I know are the Diamond Trackstar line, the Opus Sparcard line and PTC MSX ISA card.
These are not consoles though.
