Did you know that the Transport Museum in London also used the CD32?

109 of them, to be exact!

It was responsible for the original development of the SX-1 expansion too. They had been using a few laserdisc players to stream interactive information to a few areas of the museum, but they were getting old and they needed a replacement with more interactivity. They ended up creating touch screen information kiosks around the museum that were connected to a lot of CD32's running in a central room, with each running a Scala created interactive CD presentation for the various areas of the museum. I visited shortly after reading about this in AUi and it worked well. I have no idea how long they continued to use them, or if they are in fact still using them still.

I think they refurbished the Museum in 2005 so they might have disappeared then (or not if they were still working and still suitable for the job).
