I recently read an ad (sorry I'll have to look it up again) that was
selling an adapter for the amiga which would allow you to use IBM keyboards
on the amiga. Question: Are there drawbacks? What about the left/right amiga
keys - left/right alt keys? In other words: Are there keys that are unique to
the amiga which would not be (easily) supported by an ibm keyboard? I ask this
because I have a 2000 with a HiTech keyboard and the keyboard sucks. The
contact mechanism fails repeatedly and it is getting to be a real pain to use.
(Try typing something long only to look up and see u's, spaces, l's and other
letters missing!)
