[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Amiga 1000 Keyboard Patch?

fbueller@bucsf.bu.edu (Peter Sherman) (05/05/90)

	Greetings netland! I have a problem, and I hope some kindly hacker
out there could help me. I recently aquired a used Amiga 1000, and as you
can probably guess, no keyboard. But I bought an interesting little device
which allows me to use a 2000 keyboard. But, the 2000 keyboard costs more
than I paid for the computer, and so I'd like to use an IBM keyboard, since
the connector appears to be pin compatible. I'd like to know if an IBM
keyboard could be attached to this, and if not, if there are there any
hardware/software hacks which I could use to do this. I heard that the
Amiga 2000 keyboard has its' own chips to encode information.
 
	Thanks in advance.
