The CDTV's Loading Screen.

When a normal Amiga running Kickstart 1.3 loads it instantly goes to a bright blue screen with the CLI (Command Line Interface, Like MS Dos) in white and orange, This was not suitable for the CDTV, It was designed to be beautifull in its design and blue, white & orange is not beautifull so in the CDTV`s Proms there was a task so when ever a CDTV CD-Rom was put into the CDTV a loading screen would come up while the program worked behind the scenes getting everything ready.
It was chosen to be the CDTV logo on a plain black screen. The screen disables the Genlock and no mouse or keyboard action will take the screen down, Only when a program calls a specific screen will the screen come down.
This idea was instantly ported to the Kickstart on other Amiga`s so every OS after 1.3 had a pure black screen (A CDTV logo wouldnt suit an Amiga 500 or 1200).
The screen can not be put up for a program loaded from floppy disk or a harddrive.
