Any reason why a modern 52-speed IDE CD-ROM drive inserted into an external SCSI case wouldn't work with a Squirrel SCSI interface connected to an A1200?
Yes.
You can't attach an IDE CDROM to a Squirel SCSI Interface.
I assume you mean an 52X SCSI CD-ROM.
I never managed to get my modern SCSI Yamaha Writer to work on either a squirrel or surf squirrel interface.
It works fine on my Blizzard SCSI however.
To be honest, depending on your budget, you'd be better of getting an IDE interface such as a powerflyer.
Its an ATA 33 Controller that clips onto your A1200 mobo, giving you 2 IDE channels like a PC.
Allows you to connect 4 IDE devices and run them at full speed, depending on your CPU. The Internal IDE is seriously slow.
