There is more mystery about the CD1200's Successor. Does the Q-Drive 1241 with an external CD-Rom drive provide you with the same functions as the CD1200? By this I mean that the CD1200 featured the CD32's Akiko chip, therefore turning any Amiga 1200 into a CD32-compatible system. Does the Q-Drive 1241 use the CD32'S Akiko chip or does it just give you an emulator of a CD32 instead? Thanks.

It seems unlikely that the Q-Drive 1241 would have a Commodore proprietary Akiko chip on board when it wasn't even a Commodore product.  It was made by Archos of France.  In fact, by the looks of the logo on it, it was an Escom / Amiga Technologies era product (produced years after Commodore was dead).
