pcmcia cd drives

[moominpapa]

I am after a pcmcia cd drive for my a1200.  Will any one do or will it have to be one specifically for amigas? Thanks

don't mesh with this kind of cdroms. pcmcia is more usefull with a net card, just buy a cheap ide cdrom and connect it as slave at the standard a1200 ide port.

-edit-
a cdrw cost 22 euro, a dvd player 18...

How would you power such a drive?

With my A600/030 I'm using a PCMCIA Alfa Data CD1200 controller with a CD-Writer hooked on it. Works great!
No problems.
