Looking for one of the above, so I can get my vintage machines configured and running again.... I'm currently screenless as the LCD I was using has finally surrendered (it was 11 yrs old)

Thanks

Horrible things, get a better picture form an Amiga RGB to SCART cable or Amiga RGB to svideo.

If you can afford to spend a little more I'd recommend getting an indivision ECS then you can use any LCD. I have one of these, you can even stack more than one for dual screen. Plus you get some additional screen resolutions under workbench.

There are a few home brew options which are cheaper but not quite as good picture.

RGB to Svideo, Also kipper2 does internal IDE and extra RAM modules to pimp your Amiga :-)

Amigakit is a great store. Amibay.com is another great place for retro gear :-)

I agree. But both machines have picasso2 cards in them, so I only need a temporary jackup to get configuring before restoring normal service. Plus the machines are 20 years old, I really don't want to spend much, if anything on them anymore....

$35 for a RGB to Svideo or $10-$20 for a RGB to SCART isn't that bad ;-)

I've spent far too much on my A500/A1200/Pegasos. The A1200T is great for surfing the net and playing new release games that are coming out. I have workbench at 1080p looks great. The A500 is a good WHDLoad machine and the Pegasos box can also be used on a daily basis for surfing/email etc :-)

FPGA accelerators that are soon to be released should breath even more new life in to them :-)
