Hi,

Well as you probiblay guessed from the subject of this post, I am looking to
fit a laptop PC's PCMCIA CDROM drive into the PCMCIA slot on my A1200.

I haven't got any software to let the amiga know that the drive is actually
there. So I was also wondrering - if it was possible to fit it, where I
could get the neccicary software from.

This is becasue it seems a REAL shame to spend �50 - �70 to buy one with an
IDE interface.

Check Aminet for a list of working PCMCIA cards first and for basic CD ROM
driver.
