I am now left with getting it to work with my SVGA monitor and decided I would like to go the video card route instead of the flicker fixer/adapter that sells at Amigakit.com for around $157 USD.


You had one built into the Amiga 3000... That would allow you to use a SVGA screen. But now you have to go and spend *MORE* money to get the same out of a A1200. :crazy: :smack:

Thank-you Captain Obvious. :-)  Yes I had a good video card in my A3000, but decided to trade to enable me to get the keyboard and mouse (keyboard is built into the A1200) and lets not forget that this one has the Blizzard card so it has a faster processor and I can update the RAM using 72 pin SIMMs now.  This (in my mind) makes up for the lack of built in SVGA adapter.


I was not the only one that said you'd be better off with the A3000, verses a A1200.

I do know what style of case the A1200 is in, as mine is sitting right here next to me on my (messy) desk.
