I'd like to put my Amiga 2000 on end on the floor. I've been told that I can use a joystick extender (Radio Shack) for the mouse. Can I use an IBM PC keyboard extender for the keyboard? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Real Life: Michael Nowak Workstation Consultant U of M Computing Center User Services Via Internet: mike@ninja.cc.umich.edu Via UUCP: uunet!umix!ninja.cc.umich.edu!mike Working for but in no way representing the University of Michigan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On your collective advice, I bought a PC keyboard extender and two joystick extenders (one for the mouse and one for the monitor). I also bought a System floor stand to keep the Amiga 2000 slightly off the floor. And it works great - all I need know is monitor stand and imy Amiga will like a "real" workstation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ In Real Life: Michael Nowak Workstation Consultant U of M Computing Center User Services Via Internet: mike@ninja.cc.umich.edu Via UUCP: uunet!umix!ninja.cc.umich.edu!mike Working for but in no way representing the University of Michigan. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
