Here are a couple more screwball ideas for you:

1) Your 1200 has a parallel port. Xircom (among others) have made parallel
port ethernet adapters in the past. Dunno if you could find Amiga drivers
for them ...

2) Similarly, there are parallel port SCSI adapters which might make it
possible to vacate the PCMCIA slot. Adaptec (after they bought Trantor) sold
one called MiniSCSI. Iomega sold one called the Jaz Traveler. Again drivers
could be a challenge.

<and my personal favorite, a VNC-less possibility>
3) Your 1200 has composite video out. If you had a video capture card in
your PC you could at least display the Amiga screen on your PC's monitor
sans VNC, if that is of any use. Can you configure the 1200 to take its
keyboard input from the serial port? If so, a terminal program on the PC
could send keystrokes out the PC's serial port, through the null modem
cable, into the 1200. You might need to keep the Amiga mouse.
