I got one of these with my A2000 from ebay. It has an Amiga mode, but with just the built-in Amiga keymap in the hardware.
I ran across this on the net, but can't find this program on AmiNet or elsewhere. I found some site that mentions it being on some public domain software collections, but I can't find the program itself... Anyone have it?
The keymaps that come with the Amiga are pretty much useless, since
they don't recognize any of the special keys. All the keymap editors
are just as bad, as they are for standard A2000 keyboards and don't
take into account extra keys.
Greg Cunningham of Baud Bandit fame came to the rescue. Greg wrote a
keymap editor specifically for the Northgate and it works great. He
even included the ASM source code so anyone could modify the default
definitions he used.
Greg's program remaps the F11 key as ESC, the F12 as CTRL-C, the
PRINT SCREEN key as NUL, SCROLL LOCK as CTRL-S, PAUSE as CTRL-Q and
NUM LOCK as (. The program is a must for anyone with the Ultra from
Northgate.

Found a listing of Northgate.Keyboard by Greg Cunningham on SCOPEDISK #161. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find these PD disks online.
There is also a utility called QMouse by Dan Babcock that does Northgate OmniKey remapping (and much more). It comes with source so you could probably strip out the Northgate stuff. QMouse is available on Aminet.
