Add a floppy to a CD32 - how?

There are several expansion devices for the CD32, including:

        SX1, Promodule, SX32

But they all go much further than I need (and all cost *much* more than I
paid for my CD32).

What I really want for my CD32 is a floppy port and some expansion RAM.
That way I can still play my Amiga floppy based games.  I don't need to be
able to make it function as an A1200, as I have an A2500.

Is there an expansion designed for just this?


Thanks,
Phil.

A floppy-only expansion was among the third-party proposals fielded by CBM
in the weeks before the machine's launch. However, TTBOMK, none was ever
built.

 In one of Lew Eggbrecht's(VP of Engineering or something like that)
famous C= world of Amiga speeches he also mentioned the possiblity of a
CD32 CPU exapasion with an 030 or 040. I'm not surprised we havent seen
any of these. The sx-1 was popular enough so that a floppy interace
probably will never see the light of day, I'm still waiting for an
accelarator.  While we're on the subject of floppies, has anyone tried
the Dell High Density floppy with the SX-1. Does it wotk?
                                           Thanks,

I have no idea what it is, but there seems to be hack in aminet for a
floppy port. It was in aminet-recent (9-Apr, what a joke ;-))

hard/hack/cd32-floppy.lha

I will download it myself.

Hope to have helped..
