The 1200 needs a fix generally to use PCMCIA cards and the card reset tool which I boot up before I put the card online works fine. Think I got it from Aminet. I struggled a bit with Miami but that was mainly to do with networking with other PCs. The broadband works fine with the PCMCIA but the computer is slow really if you are expecting to surf. You need a graphics card. I prefer the 4000 cus I banged a PIV into it plus an accelerator. Best I can use the 1200 for is mail and downloading Aminet files... Still prefer the A1200 but then I go Commando... ie 1993-1996 for games software etc. Still tons about.
No idea about the monitor as I use my original Microvitec or a modern monitor with the PIV.
