Hi,
There is demand, but nothing will be made until that demand is at a certain level.
Individual Computers would be the people to make such a device, but that said it would need to be viable for them.
You have to remember, the edge connector tooling would proberly cost around €20,000 to €40,000.
To see the current level of demand, there is a thread on English Amiga Board where around 30 to 40 of us have declared interest in it.
40 is not enough, it needs to be atleast over 300 for IC to even consider something like this.
Who knows, they may be able to adapt one of there current projects.

after talking to Matthew , about the the need to find a new sx32 for my cd32. my parents bought the cd32 with sx32 pack from u several years ago when you were eyetech!
my idea is
ive been looking for sx32 add on for my cd 32
when i thought isnt it time that we amiga owner had a soup up version that could still be in the same case style as the cd 32
backward compatible with the sx32 idea (a1200 etc)
was talking to friends apparently theres so much demand for this since its not made now that you have to pay anywhere from £300 to £500 that was 6 years ago. i did research to day and its near £500 - £800 now. which proves there is demand for a computer console the size of my cd32
how about it, are you up to the challenge?
sian"
im going post info up on site suggested
they sound very interested to me but just need amiga fans to come together
and keep our beloved amiga alive!

Hello All,
I would be interested in buying a few of these unit's for my spare Cd32! Last year I paid $$$ for SX32 Pro (030) which I don't regret getting one. But surly there must be a cheaper way to get a CD32 to Amiga 1200 leave! I believe the CD32 is a very underrated Amiga and you get them for basically nothing now days in Europe and Australia which is a shame because it's basically A1200 with a built in CD Rom (slow never the less but it works!) Also I have noticed A600 have jumped in value which I can't understand why? Also the CD32 is an AGA Amiga after all!
Thanks in advance,
Merv Stent

????
The edge CD32 connector is an ISA vesa local bus extension : you don't need to purchase some tools for making new connectors...
Many new connectors are still available in stock on many resellers, I'm sure...
