bx@dl.ac.uk (Robin Hood) used his machine to write the following text
about "Which is better ? CD32 + SX32 or CD32 + A1200 ?":

RH> I understand A1200 can use CD32 as a slave drive to
RH> fetch files from CD. If a program on the CD 
RH> is  executed from A1200, is it run on CD32, or A1200, or on both ?
RH> Can propgram address all the ram on both CD32 and A1200 ?

If you use the CD32 as a CD-ROM for the A1200, the program will run on the
A1200. As far as I know the CD32 RAM can not be used by the A1200. The CD32
is degraded to a simple CD-ROM. :-)))

RH> SX32 is indeed a very neat add-on for CD32, 
RH> but for the cost of a Bare SX32, you can get both  CD32 and  a A1200 
RH> (USED) that has buit-in FDD and keyboard, and more expansion potential.
RH> than SX32. the only drawback of the later set-up is that the 2Mb CD32 chip ram
RH> may not be shared by the whole system, but A1200 has 2 Mb instead.

If you connect CD32 and SX32 you get a complete A1200 that is 100% compatible
with the CD32. And you can expand the system with Fast-RAM and a Harddisk.

RH> My only complaint for SX32 is it is too expensive.

My words, but DCE (manufacturer of SX32) offers a "Ready-to-go-bundle"
with CD32, SX32 and keyboard for 598DM. That's not too expensive I think.
