Anyone know if there are adapters that makes it possible to connect old antennas to a new monitor? Ive got loads of c64/amigas laying about but no screen to use them on. I tried connecting it to my samsung telly, but I cant find the channel. (tried searching for channel at first - and then i started to check for aux and similar...I think its named aux anyhow...I know what Im looking for but I just cant remember what its called ) shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

i just hooked mine up to a vhs digitiser usb dongle though, for a truly authentic experience, find an old crt modern displays have way too precise rendering of the output - not representing the original intended color and the AA-effect due to pixel bleeding

Swedish site that still sell Amiga Classic hardware: http://www.surf.to/ggsdata Then we have Amigakit that sell EVERYTHING for Classic and new Amigas. Absolutely superb site: http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/?currency=EUR And just recently I saw an ad for a 15Khz to 30Khz signal transformer that would make any classic amiga work with modern monitors.

With an A1200 with expanded memory, proper monitor driver and perhaps a picasso card you should be able to get the Amiga to run in the monitors native resolution. The Icons would be ridiculously small, but then you use MagicWB or similar.
