Transfer the images on your miggy on harddrive and there are tools to write them back on floppy.

Or buy a Catweasel  :-D

Oh and there's a tool for connecting Amiga to a PC

1084 or any monitor with an rgb input.
Don't know about your c128, I supose there's a composite output on it?

The 1902 is a no go, as its specifically build for the C128 and can only accept DIGITAL rgb
Or you have to build an svideo adapter for your Amiga...

The other two are no problem (although horribly old)

I assume you want to use the 80 columns mode of the 128? Then you need the 1902.

You'll have to settle with the Amiga though, since composite is a lot worse to look at then rgb, and you need the A520 modulator to get color.

I have (and am using right now) the A520. I'd like to upgrade that a real Amiga monitor, though.


Then there's no other solution then have 2 monitors. Amiga monitors don't have RBGI inputs needed for the 128, and 128 monitors lack the analog RGB input needed for the Amiga..

You're out of luck I'm afraid, and you'll have to live with 2 monitors. But at least you can watch them at the same time : :-D

Oh I forgot to mention the Commodore 1940/1942 monitors for the Amiga.
