I'm thinking of getting an amiga 1200 after being away since 1992. I had an a500 and a1000 at the time, but have forgotten so much!
I found what I think is a great deal on a a1200 with many accessories included, but it's a PAL amiga and don't know what my monitor options are. Will I be able to use this amiga with a NTSC LCD monitor/tv?
Also, I've read that networking the a1200 should be fairly easy using a pcmcia ethernet card. Is there a specific one that works out-of-the-box? Is wireless an option or only wired?
Thanks,
Wayne
The 1200 is a great model!
I have a PAL 1200 and it seems to works just fine (in color) with the TVs I have tried it with the composite, but the quality is not so good.
There are a few options.
some dell monitors (2320) will work at 15hz. You may be able to get an AmigaManiac SVIDEO converter. I really want the Indivision AGA MK2 when that comes out.
If you go wireless there is the Prism2(mine is linksys wpc11ver3 prism 2.5), or for wired you can use NE2000 compatible cards.
