I,ve never been crazy about the A1000 keyboard and now that i'm trying to write some longer code ..... We'll, the feel is just wrong. Are there any alternatives to the A1000 keyboard out there? I've thought about a terminal through AUX: but that might be a pain. Any ideas helpful. Thanks in advance. Mick ----------------------------------------------------------- Is it true what I hear?

The A2000 keyboard. All it needs is an adapter for the cable end. A local dealer has made a few of these, and the 2000 keyboard works fine on the 1000. > Any ideas helpful. > > Thanks in advance. > > Mick -larry -- Frisbeetarianism: The belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca or uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+

C.Ltd. makes 3 different replacement keyboards. I don't know if they are A2000 only or also support the A1000. C.Ltd. can be reached at (316) 267-0202. C-101a: Standard Amiga keyboard layout. 101 tactile click-stop keys (Includes 18 dedicated "macro" keys.) C-101i: Like C-101a, but uses standard IBM keyboard layout, and emulation of IBM keys. C-101c: A C-101a with 18 additional PROGRAMMABLE "macro" keys. Prices listed in COMPUTER MART's catalog (800-443-8236, a nice reliable mail-order company) are $98, $98, and *126, respectively. I have no relation to C.Ltd. or Computer Mart. -- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP UUCP barrett@cs.jhu.edu (128.220.13.4) ARPA Dept. of Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218

Say, I would like to do something like that! could you find out what kind of adaptor it is , where to get it and how to hook it up? the pinouts and such? The Information would be greatly apreciated.

C-ltd has a keyboard replacement for the amiga 1000 and 2000. I think their price is about 100 clams, but you should call them and ask them about it. I think they have two versions. They can be reached at C-Ltd 316-267-3807 Good Luck! Greg Garner 501-442-4847 gmg@hcx.uucp USENET: ...!uunet!harris.cis.ksu.edu!hcx!gmg
