Judging from responses and from my Users Group, most people who have expanded
a CD32 have done so with an SX-1. The SX-1 has a pass-thru for the expansion slot
so the bay that was designed to house the FMV could be used for such an accelerator
addon along with the SX-1 so you get a CD32 with accelerator and RGB/parralel/serial/floppy
IDE and RAM expansion. Let's face it who still wants the FMV????? The price is ridiculous and
development and manufacturing for this addon have died horrible on the Amiga.
Best shot if you want to make some money would be designing an accelerator to use with
a CD32-SX-1 combo or with the CD32 alone. Would be best route as the design would be exactly
the same for both users with just a CD32 and users with a CD32-SX1 combo as the accelerator
would use the expansion slot which the SX-1 gives a pass thru.
Currently we have 75 users in my group "Dark-SIDE-Amiga" with CD32/SX-1 setups.
