Hi i was thinking about connecting a CD drive in my Amiga 1200. But how and what is the best way to get it connected? and can i use a CD drive from one of my old PC

I installed eSATA ports on my 1200. If i need to I can use a external CD-ROM, but to me they are getting as outdated as floppies.   All you need is a 4xIDE adapter and a dual or single IDE->SATA converter. I did use it to  to play myst, and I burned a few CDs... I have a FastATA, but  I have used one with a regular 4xIDE.



Kind of off topic.
I ordered this item from newegg which I will try with the amiga. It is an standard external eSATA/USB 2.5 drive enclosure but it also has a virtual ISO thing that can make it appear as CD-ROM. If it works I'll try it with CD32 games and emulators. its called a Zalman ZM-VE200
