Don't worry about the CDROM Drive. You can always install one internally into the A1200 using a Laptop CDROM drive, but you will have to cut the hole for it..........take a look at my photo album here by clicking on my name and you will see my Black A600 with internal CDROM.
Also keep in mind you can use:
Compact Flash
SD cards
MMC
MicroSD
MiniSD
Sony Memory Stick
and others using a PCMCIA adaptor commonly used for Laptops.
You just need to download the drivers at Aminet.
cfd.lha I think its called and Fat95.lha
Makes life 10 billion times easier :-)
now you can download images from you Digital Camera :-)
Also you can buy USB ports from AmigaKit which supports USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 (No highspeed mode)
you can also add MP3 decoding using a Delphina sound card or MASplayer.
Amiga 1200's are great!
