It can be done, I hooked up my CF card in my A4000 to the ide plug, and then hooked up my CD-Rom to my Buddha card where I also installed another Hard drive. I imagine the same can be done in an Amiga 1200 or A600 if they have Buddha cards made for them. This advertisement for Buddha is not an official advertisement, take it for what it is, a hobbyist playing around with his Amiga's and buying what was available at the time as he found the boards to buy.
