- You can connect two devices to the IDE connector on the a1200 as it stands. I
- would assume an external IDE connector would only allow for one device to be
- connected and an internal hard drive at the same time. This has no
- implications as far as the internal floppy is concerned.

- As for replacing the hard drive with a cdrom drive you would need a slot to put
- the cdroms in. What with a keyboard, floppy, external ports, pcmcia slot, and
- a cdrom slot you are running out of space to connect both side of the case
- together. :)
