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?  


There's a list of Dell monitors out there that's been reported to work. Maybe someone can pitch in. With that, you just need a simple adapter for the amiga monitor.
In VGA mode (fine for many programs, not great for games), any monitor will obviously work, but it can be trouble to get the amiga set up that way :)

For games, you'll want a monitor solution. I have hooked my 1200 to an NTSC tv in the past, but in NTSC mode, a PAL amiga only outputs grey scale.

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


I have wireless. It was kind of painfull to set up, but people can help you. Wired IS a lot easier. Amigakit sells options for you.
