I think it is fair to say that if such a beastie existed then someone would have been selling thousands of them by now.  I think you're stuck with the Subway (but make sure you check your clockport pins before you buy).

I rather doubt it.  The only USB system for the A1200 that I know of is the Subway.

Nope afraid not. That's a 32-bit Cardbus card and as such won't work in the Amiga. The A1200 (and 600) only supports 16-bit cards, so even if there were drivers, there's no way to get it to work (or fit - usually 32-bit cards have ridges on the top which prevent them from fitting 16-bit slots)...

Mostly external hard drives and Flash-based mass storage devices.

If you want a CD-ROM drive, you're better off putting a SATA-to-PATA adapter on a SATA CD-ROM and getting an IDE splitter cable for the hard drive controller.

It does not even fit into the slot. You need PCCard, not CardBus.
