Title: WANTED: A4000 keyboard and mouse.
Post by: Tension on June 19, 2011, 10:22:38 PM

Hi,

Just getting back into the Amiga after a long absence.  After using PC keyboards and mice for the past few years, I now find my semi-working original A4000 keyboard frustratingly unusable.  Also, the original A500 mouse I have been struggling with has broken.

So I'm looking for an A4000 keyboard and mouse or PS/2 mouse adapter.

Anyone got any spares/spare parts they can sell me for cheap?

Thanks folks!! :)

btw, before AmigaKit chime in,

I want an original Amiga A4000 keyboard, not a Lyra adapter & PC keyboard thank you.

I'm after an A3000 keyboard myself as I'm not satisfied with my Lyra + PS/2 setup.

Any offers?

Hmmm... just thinking...  

I have an A3000 keyboard.  Will it work in the A4000 if I use a generic AT-PS/2 adaptor from a PC?

Yes

Thanks.

Hopefully I can still source an A4000 keyboard though...

Erm... no, no it won't. Sell it to me!

I've actually got a complete A3000 system here which I'm not using.
