Thanks Chain. As it happens I have found another solution whilst searching.
I will connect the A1200 hard drive to my PC using a 44-40 pin adapter. I will then, according to the FAQ I read!, be able to access the drive through Amiga Forever as if it were in the A1200.
Then I can copy across all the files I need from my PC which will work out a lot better than using the CF adapter.
Thanks for your help.
