Hi Peter. You remember what kind of adapter it was? And does the EZKEY support basic PS/2 PC-keyboards?

EDIT: ok so it seems to be the PC-Key 1200 that you had. I think i go for that instead of EZKEY.

I'm having fun also putting this all together

, but the keyboard adapter was a let down

. But i've already ordered the PC-Key so i just have to wait some time.

Btw. where did you lose your Amiga? Get one back and start from scratch it's fun

Also Elbox have a keyboard adaptor who plugs on the ribbon cable socket of the 1200 board.

What's the best keyboard adapter to use for a tower conversion?

Depends if you are going to fit a Fast ATA controller - if not then the Lyra 1200 adaptor is very good... it does clash for space with the ATA controller (See pictures on the first page of this thread) so you cant fit both.

Amigakit has another type of keyboard adaptor which slots into the A1200 motherboard keyboard slot and can be used with the ATA controller - I cant remember who makes it but Amigakit could give you more info on it if you email them...
