What was the PC/CD-i card used for?
A CD-i interface board for both Macintosh and PCs existed, which allowed for full CD-i functionality on a computer system. The card was manufactured by International Interactive Media (I2M) from Israel, and sold by Philips and I2M itself. It contained all of the components that are also available on a dedicated CD-i player, and it did not use any component of the PC itself (like RAM, mouse, etc.). It did not integrate att all with the normal operating system running on the PC. A special version was made that allowed for the shared usage of a harddrive by the CD-i system and the computer, so this one was ideal for CD-i developers. They could for example create assets (audio and video) using their PC tools, and then integrate it into a CD-i application using for example MediaMogul in the CD-i mode. The PC/CD-i board was very rear, only a very small quantity of these boards were manufactured. It was more expensive than a stand-alone CD-i player. 9.4 Can I view the contents of a CD-i disc
