A little more info:

Drivers for the CF adapter: Aminet

The Archos PCMCIA CD Drive was also sold under the label Q-Drive by Amiga Technologies (Escom). I've never seen one other than my own, though.

Is that even possible? Connecting a laptop monitor and keyboard to an A1200?

Extremely difficult. I don't think it's been done before. You'd probably need to scandouble and then rewire the 1200's video output to a small nonstandard ribbon cable and do the same for the keyboard - which will probably require a custom interface chip as all PC keyboard adaptors do. Plus the 1200 motherboard won't fit in almost all laptop cases.

So in summary, I don't think it's worth attempting unless you're an electronics supergenius.:crazy:
