Actually the reason I thought there might be a transfer rate problem is because PCMCIA slot in a 1200 is only 16 bits wide and nowhere near as fast as SCSI or IDE. As for just adding a keyboard to a CD32, you still wouldn't have a useful computer. You'd need to add an RGB port so you could use a real monitor instead of a TV. You'd need a hard drive for data storage. (not much point in having Imagine 3 and a bunch of 3D objects on a CD-ROM if you've got nowhere to put the animations you're going to make.) You'd also need a floppy drive since that's what most Amiga software comes on, and a keyboard and mouse to use the software. If you're going to add all that equipment to a CD32 you may as well just hook a 1200 to it and add it all in 1 box. :^)
