Does anyone use a Northgate Ultra keyboard with their Amiga? I just purchased one and noticed that some of the keys in the middle keypad (cursor keypad) don't have any function. These keys are the page up, page down, home, and end keys (The equivalent keys function on the number keypad however). Is the keyboard messed up? Did Northgate fail to properly map these keys? Or is it that the keymap needs to be altered to recognize these extra keys? (I'm using USA1). BTW, I'm using the A2000 keyboard adaptor for a A1000 that was described in Amazing computing. It's simple and quick to make, and certainly beats paying ~$20 for the equivalent pre-made adaptor. -- Matt

Yes, those keys have no function in the Amiga usa1 keymap. I've heard there was a keymap that let you use them, but it was on Genie or something, and I don't have an account there (or wherever it was). Does someone know where it is available for ftp? -- | ben@epmooch.UUCP (Ben Mesander) | "Cash is more important than | | ben%servalan.UUCP@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu | your mother." - Al Shugart, | | !chinet!uokmax!servalan!epmooch!ben | CEO, Seagate Technologies |
