Problems with Lyra keyboard interface for A1200

woody.cool · 11 June 2009, 19:49

Hi all,

I recently got myself a Lyra keyboard interface for my A1200 tower.
I'm having some strange problems with it.

No matter what keyboard I have connected to it, the A (aka the 'Amiga' keys) don't work.

I understand that on a PC keyboard, the 'Windows' keys become the Amiga keys, but still not working properly.

Is there some sort of settings for the Lyra?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers

I think the lyra uses the ALT keys as Amiga keys as it's default setting.
To change it to use the windows keys, you must enter the configuration mode.
Press LShift-Pause and then press F3. (See http://www.icomp.de/l2/)

Cheers, I'll try this out and let everyone know how I get on.

Thanks Mozzerfan ... this worked and is just what I wanted.
HOWEVER! When I play Alien Breed 3D II, it reverts back to the ALT keys being the Amiga keys

but quitting out of the game (back to Workbench) goes back to the setup I've specified (the Windows keys as Amiga keys)

That's really weird. Maybe you should email Jens Schoenfeld about this.
Usually you get a very quick reply when you send him an email.
