There is some intriguing information on Wikipedia about one of Commodore's latest hardware expansions for the Amiga 1200 which is a external CD-Rom Drive that turns a Amiga 1200 into a CD32-compatible system because it featured the CD32's Akiko chip. Here's the quote on Wikipedia:

'One of its last hardware designs, however, was an external CD-ROM drive for the A1200 that featured the CD32's Akiko chip, thus turning any A1200 into a CD32-compatible system'

Has any one got a link to a picture or some information about this hardware piece from Commodore? Thank you.

Just found out what is was. The CD1200 Prototype.

Is it possible to buy a CD1200 Prototype model any where? Would it be listed on eBay, there must be some people who have it for example ex-employees at Commodore.

If you saw it on eBay with the person selling the Holy Grail (CD1200 Prototype), how much do you think he/she would sell it for? I read that some one bought the Commodore 65 Prototype a few years ago for $7,625. If the CD1200 Prototype ever came up for sale would it be about this price. Here's the article:
