You will need either workbench 3.1 which has native support for *most* Cd drives or you will have to download a CD filesystem eg AmiCDFS.

try to clear up what do you mean...
if you want to connect a hard disk and a cdrom on an a1200
you need this cable 2.5 to 3.5 ide. as for the board, what board it is?

Really need more info to help you here... like what Amiga you are using? Most laptop CD-ROMs need an adaptor to connect them to an IDE interface. What model of CD-ROM is it?

You either need the cable Amije linked to above, or a 4 way IDE splitter. This will let you connect the CD-ROM and hard drive at the same time.

You might also need something like this so you can connect the CD-ROM to the IDE cable, but this will depend on the type of interface and connector on the back of the CD-ROM.
