You will need a CD/DVD Drive with a play button next to the eject button

Sorry, I don't get it. If I can't install a CD-ROM drive, how can I "passthrough CDDA from Audio CD to the Amiga Sound Output?" What am I missing? I have asked Amigakit Support for an example of how one could use the CDDA connector. No response.

Why doesn't this manual even mention AROS? Did you really write the operating system yourselves?

Let the programmer who did it come forward and say, “Yes, I wrote the operating system.” I wonder who will have the nerve to do so.

This is not just a violation of the AROS license. It's spitting in the face of all AROS developers over the years.

That brings up a question, though... There is a 4-pin RGGL audio connector on the motherboard. There's a matching audio out connector in the back of my DVD/CD-ROM drive. If the connector on the motherboard is not intended to be used with a CD-ROM drive, what is that connector for? How would one use it?

To passthrough CDDA from Audio CD to the Amiga Sound Output ?

Your USB CDRom is nothing but a mass storage, you cannot add it as physical device ! If you check the option for CDRom, you are able to go to the menu (F12), go to "Insert New Disk" and choose ISO IMAGE from the right menu instead of ADF ! Then you can mount an ISO file which is available on your Workbench without using any CDFileSystem on Amiga side ...

You can see the FindDevice tool in the bottom right of the screenshot. It shows Unit=0, device=uaescsi.device and version 1.0. I read somewhere that unit=0 is the default for uaescsi.device. Whether I have something connected to the A1200NG, FindDevice always shows the same information, so it's not really detecting anything.

Here's the check box to 'Include CDROM Drive' in the settings for my 'Custom System'. The presence of that check box suggests to me that it should be possible. I mean, why else would it be there?

Not sure if this is doable on a A1200NG. Can you use the Find Device program from idefix97?
This will help with your diagnosis.
