[comp.sys.amiga] Swapping A500 & 2000 keyboards

GPOTTS@oregon.uoregon.edu (Geoffrey Potts) (02/10/90)

My one regret in deciding to upgrade to a 2000 from my 2 1/2 year old 500 is
the sacrifice of the high quality keyboard on my 500. Somewhere between then
and now, Commadore started useing soft, mushy contacts in their keyboards.

What I would like to do is exchange the keyboard in my 500 with the one in my
2000 (when it gets here). I seem to recall that there are differences between
the two keyboards but I can't be sure. I've removed the keyboard from my 500
before, to replace my ROM chip. If the procedure just involved cutting and
soldering a few wires, I'd be comfortable with that.

If anyone has tried this or knows of some reason why it will not work, I'd like
to hear from you.

Thanks

-Geoff
