There are many options, but to give a funny example, check this link out :

ent0mbed : "are there CD drives that will use the PCMCIA slot located on the left side of the computer? I don't see an expansion slot near the floppy" ... please don´t be offended, but the floppy is on the right side and the pcmcia port on the other side, at almost the same place as the expansion port of an Amiga500, but then a lot smaller. This port can also be used for networkcards of PC laptops like , but of course also for a pcmcia IDE interface, also a PCMCIA Card Driver Disc to Read and Write Smart Media / Compact Flash / PC Card ( Flash Disc) on Ebay ...

Orjan : hey dude, a mega ´thank you´ for that link !! Now I am also gonna try to get a slimline CDrom into my A1200´s desktop that already has got a Powerflyer mounted on board !! At this moment I have got a 40 Gb external HD and a 48X CDrewriter somewhere close to the floppy drive. It´s not so good looking but at least I got it working. But with that link you gave I can try to mount a 2,5" hd and slimline on the inside !!! Thanks again !!

You need a pcmcia IDE controller, that´s all.Omce you have that you can put any CDrom inside it, from a 4 speed to 56 speed and probably also any CDrewriter too !!!

Orjan : while searching on my favourite Ebay (german) for pcmcia networkadapter-cable (have networkcard but no adapter to plug networkcable in) I found this Slimline to IDE adapter  :-)
