We should be able to connect the original keyboard to the top patch pins.
I'll look into the protocol.

Please do... I'd love one too, and have been thinking of picking up a case or a dead machine ever since I saw the dimensions of the Arcade. Either A600 or A1200. I prefer the aesthetics of the A1200 and it has more nostalgic value for me (never owned it, but drooled over it :) ), but it is compelling to have something as small as the A600.

Thanks, but that is the motherboard end. I need the schematic of the keyboard connector to the key contacts etc. I guess this has been reverse engineered already?

Ask on English Amiga Board (eab.abime.net) - I know there's been various threads about keyboard mods and repairs there before, and the site is full of people who do various hardware projects.
