I have (and am using right now) the A520. I'd like to upgrade that a real Amiga monitor, though.

Then there's no other solution then have 2 monitors. Amiga monitors don't have RBGI inputs needed for the 128, and 128 monitors lack the analog RGB input needed for the Amiga..

You're out of luck I'm afraid, and you'll have to live with 2 monitors. But at least you can watch them at the same time : :-D

Oh I forgot to mention the Commodore 1940/1942 monitors for the Amiga.

Well, clearly the more important monitor would be for the Amiga. I can live with a TV for the C=128. I just bought that for games.

[Krusher]

Well, go and look for the 1080/1084/1940/1942  :-)

Good thing I'm made of money!

Not.

I see a Commodore 2002 monitor locally here on Craigslist. What's a 2002?

Sweet! It's for the Amiga. It "has to go today" according to the ad. I sent an email. We'll see if I can snag it.

I got the monitor! For only $5!

It boots up to an internal hard drive. How do I see how big it is?

Did anyone give a proper answer to this? Well, in any case: Open a shell and type info to see size, usage, etc for all mounted disks.

Thanks for that! It reads as a 61MB hard drive.



Despite the wash out from the flash, you can see the monitor is not in perfect shape. The colors sort of ramp off. Is there a way to degauss it?

It's a sad day. She's on the auction block.

Did you ever figure out what the hard drive controller is?  An A500 with internal hard drive is pretty rare, might bring you a few extra $ if you're intent on selling it.  I would take it apart and post some higher quality photos, too.  Good luck!

Could be an M-Tec AT 500 Megabody, intended for internal installation of an IDE 2.5" disk.
