@ hazydave. Please tell me about these.

It is a shame! I always thought a CD32 could be linked to the A1200 to use as a CD drive, but I think I dreamed it!

I thought you could do that with PARNET?

Nope (been googling), it can't.  No parallel port on the CD32.

There is one on the CDTV, so I think that's what I was thinking about.

No idea how compatible a CDTV hooked to an Amiga 1200 with PARNET would be...

There was a kit that let you network an A1200 and CD32 using the serial port, maybe that's what you're thinking of? Never tried it, but I suspect it was slow!

Yes..

I was stuck thinking parnet, but the CD32 has not parallel, but it does have a DIN serial..

Would probably be pretty slow, and I still wonder how compatible...
