@ 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 would love a CD drive for my A1200 and PCMCIA seems the only way.......if I could find one!

[LordSpunky]

Finding an external SCSI DVD drive on ebay is the best way, unless your trapdoor expansion doesn't have SCSI capability.

Nope just got some random 8MB expansion card........no SCSI hence PCMCIA

Other than SCSI, people have done stuff with the IDE option too, though you have to be a bit more crafty

Hmmmm, yes have I not seen someone stuck a female IDE port on the outside of the A1200 case? [Assume a 2.5 - 3.5 adapter needed]....hmmmm it maybe an option! Can't afford SCSI

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...
desiv

hmmmmm I want a CDTV too!!!!!
