IDE CDROM on A1200

[mintfresh]

I had/have a CDROM drive for my Amiga that connects through the PCMCIA slot. I have since decided to use this slot for a network card, and also would like to tidy up my Amiga setup and get rid of the external devices.

Anyway, onto the question.

How can I fit a standard PC CDROM drive (IDE) to my Amiga? I seem to remember it requiring extra hardware for the IDE interface. At the moment I just have a 3.5" HD connected to the IDE interface.

Looking on AmigaKit I think one of these may be needed

I don't really get the difference between them though, or understand what I need!

I'm also not sure what drives would be compatible. I have a few old CD-ROM drives, some maybe CD-Writers and one is CD/DVD drive.

Any advice would be great, thanks!

So i should be able to connect the CD ROM without any extra hardware?

I'm guessing I'll need an new IDE cable though, since I'm pretty sure the other one is just a single 2.5-3.5 cable. All my PC ones will be 3.5 ones.

Power should be ok. The Amiga is in a tower case with a standard PC power supply.

What software will I need for the drive? I'm not to bothered about being able to write CD's or anything, although impressed to hear that the Amiga can do that! Just need the basic device drivers I suppose? Not sure where to start with that though!
