Share PC mouse.keyboard and montior with Amiga - or alternative?
« on: September 02, 2007, 05:11:58 PM »
Just got my A1200 setup again, its in a tower case so has an external keyboard.

Anyway, its currently using an old Amiga mouse, PC keyboard with one of those big round connectors and a 1084s monitor.
Next to this is my PC with USB mouse,keyboard and a big LCD monitor.

What I'd like is to get rid of the old Amiga keyboad,mouse and monitor and just have a nice neat setup that shares everything.

Is this possible? If so, where do I start? Alternativly, how does the Amiga look when hooked up to a HD TV? Is there a way to connect the Amiga to one of these? Does it look good? Would it eliminate flicker? Would it allow all Amiga resolutions to be displayed? I'm thinking a wall mounted LCD TV would be a good solution regarding space, since I would probably want a TV in the room anyway.

Sorry for all the questions in one post! Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Fester. I'll have alook around the AmigaKit website for the stuff you mention.

Not sure if there is any way of getting a graphics card on my 1200? That hack for the A1000 looks to complicated for me, not sure it'd work on a 1200 either.

I think I need to go down the flicker fixer/scan doubler route for the monitor? Can't seem to see any where I can get one of these though.

I've also seen some boxes mentioned that convert scart and such like to VGA signals? Not sure if these are worth getting?
