I just borrowed an A570 and connected it to my A500. I use and RF-Mod. to get the picture and sound on my PC's TV card.
The quesition is; When playing a music CD i have to disconnect the audio cables (going into the RF) from the Amiga and plug them into the A570. When I want to hear any other sounds I must disconnect them from the A570 and plug them into the Amiga. Is this really the only way to get both CD- and normal audio???

you are using the RF to get the sound into your pc???
The A570 have amigasound in connectors according to this mag i have here so connect like this.
A500RCAout==to==A570RCAin and then from A570RCAout==to==RFmodulatorRCAin

Another question; Is there any way to use; both the A570 and an external A500 HD simultaneously?

No not an external A500HD but there was a SCSI-card for the CDTV which fits the A570. I think I also have seen an A500-expansionbus splitter in an old amigamag but to find such a rare beast...

But still. you mean to say that there ARE, some HD's for the A500 that sports a  pass-through connection.. That would, for example, let you connect the A570??
The HD I'm talking about I's a DATIC 40MB disk.. Has no pass-through.. but a strange hole on the rear (who has'nt;)). Which made me think that maybe some kinda SCSI cable could be connected inside and be popped outa that hole and then connected to the 570?? Just speculations, of course.. !?

What kind of connector?Is it a DSUB(looks like serial and amigaRGB)?
An maxed A500HD had passthru, memory and SCSI, one model had both SCSI and IDE and another one had a 286-pc card.
I have found the expansion connetor splitter by the way

Does anyone know what interface the CD-ROM in the  A570 has? Probably it´s commodores own construction.
Anyway  what computer do you have and what specs are they, advice would be a little simpler if we known.
If you have a cd-rom in your pc(which i assume) play the musiccds in that because you don´t want to wear out your A570 unneccesarly.
There really is no point in expanding an A500 except for the fun of it.
