This CD-i 180 stack has four parts: One of them was sort of a prototype which could be used standalone and it has a regular 'plextor-like caddy'

Yesterday four more players were added to the CD-i collection of the Home Computer Museum in Helmond, The Netherlands. Can you spot the differences when you compare the picture below and when you look at this picture? The CD-i 180 stack we have here contains 4 parts, if you look closely. Originally the CD-i 180 players does consist of 3 parts: The 180, 181 and 182. What is the difference here? cdifan: "it's sort of a prototype 180, it works with the "regular" 181/182. It uses "regular" plextor-like caddies, not the later 180/605 ones. It also has more buttons, could be used as a standalone audio player."

One of the players that are added is a Apple PowerPC. While technically not a CD-i player, it certainly has some ties to it. Mark explains: "Apple PowerCD is a CD player sold by Apple in 1993 and discontinued several years later. It was a re-badged Philips-designed product (Philips CDF-100) which was sold in addition to Apple's speakers and also included a remote control. The PowerCD was capable of reading Kodak PhotoCD’s, CD-ROM data discs and audio CD’s. It can be connected to your television, just like a CD-I design would be able to. The PowerCD marked Apple's first stand-alone consumer-oriented product brought to market, which did not require a computer for use. Philips wanted more companies to embrace CD-i. Eventually Apple was not interested to support the CD-i format, although in the final product they included support for PhotoCD. Apple thought CD-ROM was more viable to put their effort in. Apple however licensed the Philips CDF-100 design from Philips. It was a close call or CD-i was also supported in this short-lived Apple product."
