My new Amiga 4000T - work in progress

[Darrin]

Once it has been fumigated and you have video output then you should have one hell of a nice machine there.  

As for the keyboard, I've been using a PS-2 adapter with my towered A4000D (same for the mouse).  Now replacing a keyboard means spending $10 at Walmart.

Yes. I used to use the Lyra2 PS/2 adapter on my A4000D. It works very well with practically any PC PS/2 keyboard, though i must admit nothing beats the feeling of using an original Commodore/Amiga keyboard.

Oh I agree with you.  There's something special about the genuine Commodore keyboards.  The fact that my A2000 and A3000 keyboards still work perfectly after decades of use says a lot about how modern PC ones are manufactured.

I got my A4000 off eBay with no keyboard or mouse so I was forced to hunt down a substitute and the PS-2 adapter was easy to get hold of.  Plus, I'd been using PS-2 keyboards with my Minimig and C-One for ages so I'd kind of got used to them.

I use a Logitech keyboard on my A4000 with 2 USB ports on it.  The USB connector next to the PS-2 connector then plugs into my Deneb card so I don't have to keep reaching around the back to insert a pen-drive.
