Title: A2000 Lyra 3 + PS/2 to AT DIN
Post by: DiskChris on January 01, 2017, 02:37:12 PM

I ordered a Lyra 3 for use with my Amiga 2000, in order to use a PS/2 keyboard (IBM Model M to be specific) but I noticed in the fine print, you need a Female PS/2 to Male DIN Connector--which Vesalia didn't' seem to have in stock...Would I be able to use a PS/2 to AT keyboard converter, like this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Keyboard-Adapter-PS2-6pin-Female-to-AT-5pin-DIN-Male-Adaptor-Cable-Cord-Wire-NC-/291964901798?hash=item43fa76d9a6:g:aegAAOxyVaBS6665)? I mean the pinout looks to line up.

Oh and Happy New Year Everyone! :banana:

Yes, should do the trick.

AT keyboard connectors were technically from the DIN family. So both words get used to describe it.

If it don't work, I'll hand build you one. OK?

Looks like the same one I use on my A2000.  Should work fine. :)

Sorry for jumping onto this thread, but is it possible just to connect a 5pin AT keyboard straight to the A2000?

I'm looking for a spare and thought this might work? The pin-outs are the same, any thoughts?

No. Different protocol.
