Using CD32 as CDROM drive for A1200

There are much easier ways to add a CD drive to an A1200, that's for sure.

Well, if you *really* want to - remember that plain CD32 has only serial port as option, and even that one requires a specially made adapter. So with some hassle you can set up null-modem over serial cable between the systems. Then software. You would need to boot up the CD32 from a CD that you have prepared already with OS and software to do file transfer over serial port, there is quite a bit to pick from there. Then you should prepare a small RAD disk and copy over the needed OS files and transfer software there. Now it should be possible to reboot the CD32 so it boots from RAD and you can then transfer files from whatever CD to the other Amiga over the serial link. I would not expect any higher baud rate than 38400, so a transfer speed of around 4KB/sec.
