This is a known bug with Simon CD32 - incompatibility with almost any other Amiga. It might work on a SCSI CD-ROM drive... or with the cd.device wrapper from the Amiga Dev CD. Amiga Format encountered this problem as well when the game was rereleased in the late 1990s.

I think it's possible to install it to hard disk and bypass the problems, but make sure you've got hundreds of megs free for all the speech files!

Simon2, sadly, was a very bad port. :-(
It's a bit better with the final upgrade patch, but still not great. The performance is actually slightly better using ScummVM as a replacement executable and using only the data files from the Amiga version.
