If you go the A1200 CD route, good luck getting a lot of CD32 software to run as advertised!

CD32 it is then. What should I pay for one?


$50-$100, more depending on condition and extras I'd say.

Sweet, if I can score one for around $50, I'll be a happy boy.

Seeing as I already own a decked out 600 and 1200, is there any practical reason to upgrade one of these units?

For gaming off floppy? Nah. For the WHDLoad thing? Yeah, you're gonna want some Fast RAM at least.

Umm... yeah. Stock CD32 plays all its games just fine. Just the same as most other consoles do.

Well, according to this page: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=275 you actually can use floppies.

Scary!!!
Turning your CD32 into an A1200 is another thing altogether.
