After the consumer market failed, it was re-purposed for the industrial media / trainer market. The production system I wrote for Philips to make slide show media was licensed to 3rd party developers, and I remember answering different developer's questions about the development for at least a decade after I left Philips. (I left Philips to be an OS developer for the 3DO, and left them to be an OS developer for the PlayStation. Ah, those were the daze.)

- roryisok 8y agoAs a kid I desperately wanted a CDi, and then an Amiga CD32 and then a 3DO. I never got any of them. Having saved enough to finally buy a 3DO I was derailed at the last minute by my dad who didn't want me spending so much on a games machine. He made a deal that if I didn't buy it he'd splash out for a new PC. That was the PC I learned to code on and the decision that led me to this career, and I'm glad he talked me out of it. It's so strange to be sharing a chat forum decades later with one of the engineers who built the OS for it. I'm sorry I never got to admire your handiwork, but I'm also not sorry :)
