You are right about the chunky-to-planar chip. It is called the AIKIKO chip and
is intergrated into the CD1200 add-on that fits into the underside of the Amiga
1200.
I have said about the PCMCIA port because, and I quote from a magazine doing a
sort of review of the CD1200;
"The whole interface set-up is proprietary and supports the fast throughput
needed to access the drive. – AMIGA FORMAT.
The data bus conector is 32 Bits wide and so can support the fast through put
as it said.
Don`t you think that C= would have tried to make a CD ROM drive that fitted to
the PCMCIA slot idf they could? and try to avoid people`s upgrades (through the
slot) being useless?) The device that you explained (or someone else) has only
been seen by a few people. The device I talk about has been seen, and indeed I
have pictures of. It also works!!
