Title: Amiga 600 USA Keyboard?
Post by: TjLaZer on December 06, 2005, 01:30:56 AM

Hey one of my A600's has a "full" Normal USA keyboard, anyone else have one?

I just installed KS 3.1, and a IBM 4.86GB Travelstar HD in this one and it rocks!

I'll have to check mine.  It's definately US, but I think I might have the blank keys on it.

Yeah my other two are NTSC American ones too, but have two blank keys next to the left shift and Return keys.

I've also got an A600 without the blank keys but with the UK keys.

As soon as I get a pic I'll post it.

I just checked mine.  US, no blanks.  I guess I was thinking about my A1200.

All my keyboards (2xA600,A2500 & A4000) are US layout
with no blank keys.

@TjLaZer

Nope!  no Blank keys here................Like I said.I have Never seen an A600 with Blank keys...................if there are any US models that do have them...its probably because the original owner changed the keyboard, or Commodore was running out of US keys and placed that keyboard on it.......or maybe someone put together a package of parts like ordering a keyboard from Vesalia or other places.

Or maybe thats a Canadian A600?  dont know if Canadians need those keys or maybe Japan?   that would explain why its an NTSC system as Canada and Japan use NTSC.

To ad to that..I have never sen an A500 with a UK keyboard either.
But also...in Reverse...I have never sen an NTSC A1200 with an NTSC US keyboard!  hows that for ya?  I dont think A1200's with US keyboards exist at all.

What's the differences between US and UK keyboard? The GB Pound symbol maybe?

Mine is a french azerty keyboard and i have the keys for both US Dollars and GB Pounds (it just lacks european EUR :-p).
