I had a CDROM fitted to the PCMCIA port of my A1200 in 94. Can't remember who made it though.
Probably a Zappo. Seems to be the earliest I remember coming out anyway.
I remember a lot of talk about these official C= CD add-ons. They *should* have been released *and* at or near the A1200's launch. Super logical step to do so as it would have put the A1200 and Commodore in a much better light. I'm sure Dave will expound, but seems to me, these were promised to be released and then all of a sudden, just disappeared one day. Why C= would let 3rd party manufacturers completely handle such an important peripheral astounds me. IMO, this was one of their largest blunders ever. Probably has to do with some politics and/or expense associated with securing laser assemblies on the cheap and in bulk from Sanyo, Philips, Sony or whomever. Now that wouldn't surprise me one bit. I don't buy the argument that such a product would have competed from a marketing standpoint with their dead in the water CDTV unit either.
