Sounds like a very useful addition to the AmigaOne I am intending to buy. I am sure alot of PEGASOS and AmigaOS XL fans/users have been waiting for such a great solution as well!  :-D

@ Björn

What's wrong with the layout of PC keyboards?

However, there are PC keyboards available for which easily alternative keys could be created. Then it's a relatively easy task to create alternative Amiga, Boingball or help keys etc. They are easily replaced.

I believe German and US keymaps and layouts are the most commonly used, among Amiga users. So IMO there isn't a big obstacle here, so only a minority of users would need to familiarize themselves with German or US layouts if only such keyboards would be manufactured.

I know many people here in the Netherlands, who use a German keyboard layout, meanwhile using a US layout is common in my country.

And now gues who financed this stuff .....


Kronos, he meant funder of the Pegasos/MorphOS project, not funder of the Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper board project.

I wouldn't mind if Thendic was though, as long as I will be able to use the board for the AmigaOne I intend to buy, I will be happy.  :-)

This one could definitely hit my post-Christmas shopping list.  Picking up AmigaForever after boxing away my A500's, but not the disks, in the last move did not help much.  This should remedy that.
At least until we get some real next-generation Amiga boxes out that I can afford.

Supremely smegging fantastic card. I am almost tempted to buy one fo the A1200 I haven't even bought yet and keep it in my PC until I get the a 1200 in a fit state to accept one.

Edit: Can anyone confirm/deny that this thing fits *inside* an A1200 or is it designed to fit a tower cased A1200 system with that clockport cable?
