Indeed.
The difference between CXi and CW is the CW's larger, non-vignetting
mirror.
If you can live with the shorter mirror, a CXi (or any other model) turns
into a CXiD as easily as an CW into a CWD: they are all (500 C and
upwards)
the same in this respect, all take the same digital backs, work the same
with digital backs.

Ernst Wildi's "Hasselblad Manual" is a very good starter.
It comes in many editions, each containing a bit more info abourt newer
stuff.
You may be able to find one (or more) in your local library.
