Using a standard Amiga keyboard with an A1200

07 May 2009, 07:42

Hi there, I'm looking for information on how to connect a standard amiga keyboard to an A1200. I'm building a custom A1200T, and I don't want to use a PC keyboard, I'd rather use my trusty A2000 Keyboard. I don't like using PC keyboards with amigas, it feels... I Dunno, wrong, and evil and dirty!

Anyway, I've been trying to figure it out, but I Can't find anything resembling the mapper circuit inside the A1200, so a little help here would be appreciated. Thanks. Anyone who has an idea how to do this, drop me a line at conrad (dot) russo (at) gmail (dot) com, as I won't have time to check the forums for the next day or two. Thanks.

Aminet is your friend, you know?

The doc shows how to install the A2000 keyboard into an A500, but the A1200 can be hacked in the same way. If you don't know how, look for the A500 keyboard into A1200 hack (on Aminet, too).
