I used to use the Alfa Data CD1200. It came with a driver disk which wasn't the full IDEFix but it looks like the later IDEFix package includes the tandempcmcia.device.

I tried using IDEFix last December when I moved both my HD and CD to work off the A1200 Internal IDE port and it kept hanging half way through. Someone else posted with a similar problem on Amiga.org at the same time so there are some conflicts.

You can get the original CD1200 install disk from: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/cd1200
A1200 in DIY Tower. 3.2 ROMs (softkicking 3.2.3), OS 3.2.3, CF card, CD RW and IDE to SD adapter running off the internal IDE port (using the A4000 4-port IDE adapter from Amigakit), Pistorm 32 lite with Pi4/2GB/Emu68 or Blizzard 1230-IV, with 32MB 60ns RAM and 50MHz 68882 FPU.

Glad you got it sorted. It's a very handy little controller and the only reason I stopped using it was because I wanted to use a PCMCIA network card and with my A1200 in a tower, it's not easy to swap them out.

Considering it is Mitsumi standard, not IDE, I never had a CD ROM which it didn't work with.
