Dealers say that there is no word on when the offical CDTV keyboard
from CBM is coming out, but I have heard that is a simple matter to
convert a A2000 keyboard to the CDTV player. The CDTV uses the small
8 pin connector for the KB. One dealer told me that a customer converted
his A2000 KB to the CDTV by making a gender changer. This seems like a
simple enough thing to do.
I have also heard that all the perphials are supposed to be around $50
for it. If so I want a new floppy drive for my A2000, even if it is
black.
Once Commodore gets the Trackball and keyboard out I think they will
sell a lot more units. I already know a couple people waiting for
the KB and mouse to come out.

Of course if you already have another Amiga, then you can get DNET and NetKeys, plug the two computer together with a serial cable, and then use 1mouse+1Keyboard to control both computers. (This assumes that you can get the DNET software to CDTV, perhaps by external floppy)
