Think of buying an A1200 - Got Some Questions

[rvo_nl]

If you're only using the a1200 for (classic) games then I suggest you first connect it to a big screen tv. You can always decide on getting an indivision and dedicated monitor later on.
 
If you still need to buy a monitor, make sure it has dual inputs: one for the indivision/sandoubler output, and one for ordinary output like workbench. Most modern monitors have dual input, but a lot have vga + dvi-d which is digital only and wont work with a normal vga signal (there are no converters for this!)
 
Last, a CF card is pretty cool, fast and cheap but to be on the safe side a (3.5") harddisk isnt a bad idea either and not that hard to connect inside the a1200. I do recommend a kickstart 3.1 a1200. As for accelerators, the faster the better ofcourse. But start with looking at second-hand examples. My personal preference: the Blizzard 1230IV/50.

99 quid wow....never thought of buying a New/Old Stock 1200's before, you must like NOS toys......
 
The Last 1200 I payed for last year was 50p.....plenty around if you know where to look but u must have plenty of patience tho.....99 Quid thats a lot in my book. And that includes in the US....I'm sure you can buy a 2nd 1200 for a lot less that 150 dollars.

They are unusued and boxed, right?

@ rvo_nl: why should he have dual inputs for a scandoubler and for "ordinary output like workbench"? Scandoubler is not a graphics card, he can have games/demos AND wb both go through it.

you're right, was just going to correct my mistake. Im using a bvision so I have workbench and indivision output connected to one monitor, thats a different story. Im wondering what the highest resolution is you can output through an indivision. High-res laced? That would make a nice substitute for DBLPAL indeed.
