I use a similar device (that I was using on PCs/Macs), with a 256MB Compact Flash card, and it's GREAT! Very handy for moving files from non-Amigas to Amigas with a PCMCIA slot like the A1200 and A600. I recommend getting one if you find yourself doing this often. Floppies aren't so much fun when trying to copy Doom wads lets say!

As for your 2nd question, what Jose said. So basically: if you want to view high res Workbench screens on a VGA (not sure what your A19xx can do), then this is the cheapest way. But for anything else (games, demos, many older utils), then it won't do. You need a scandoubler/flickerfixer ( Matt! When are you getting some? :-) )

Ok, I'm a bit confused on the Commodore A1960 monitor then.  I thought it was compatible with all Amiga modes.  It seems 2 to 1 so far in opinions.  Any others?

Remember, I said what I said about VGA, and said I don't know what your A19xx monitor can do. So since the others seem to know, then my stuff only applies to non A19xx monitors.

Thanks for the feedback on the PCMCIA card.  I'm thinking it will do the trick for me since my A1200 is not on the network or the Internet.  What about making ADF's?  Is that difficult to do?  Are the ADF's what I would use with WHDLoad?

Yes, it's very easy to make ADFs. And I believe that WHDLoad does indeed use ADFs by default. 99% sure. Google it.
