CD32 Keyboards

14 November 2002, 23:30

Do any of you know if the CDTV keyboard works straight out or if it needs any internal butchering?
If not does anyone know where I can get a CD32 keyboard?

Cheers.

You don't say what type of connector the CD32's got, however the connections for the CDTV are:

6 PIN MINI-DIN FEMALE (PS/2 STYLE) (A4000/CDTV) at the computer.

Pin Name Dir Description
1 /DATA Data
2 n/c - Not connected
3 GND Ground
4 +5V +5 Volts DC (100 mA max)
5 CLOCK Clock
6 n/c - Not connected

So if the CD32 is PS2 style it's a good bet...

The CD32 AUX port is also a 6-PIN MINI-DIN FEMALE. For proper instructions, look here to find out what you need to do. Its under the Pinouts section, and thus includes the pinouts for CD32 AUX, although I think its different to Sykos pinouts concerning the CDTV keyboard.

Yeah, that FAQ has nearly everything you could ask for.

Yep the CD32 and CDTV keyboards should be commpatible, as the diagram given on http://amiga.emugaming.com/cd32faq2000.html shows the same things on the same pins...

A500 kbd pins:

1 clock
2 data
3 reset
4 +5V
5 n/c
6 ground
