Hey there,
I am currenty working on a project which consists of fitting my good old amiga 500 into a table, cover the motherboard with a glass pane (to show off my good friends called Denise, Gary, Agnus and Paula), with 2 arcade controllers and a touchpad fit into the table...
While working on this i ran into two problems:
1. the video output (as i can't put some old huge monitor on top of the table, it would cover the glass window)
2. the keyboard (since it was integrated into the A500)
So...i've got a couple of questions:
About the video output:
I read some things about RGB to SCART cables and such.....what i was wondering: does it work? And if so, does it need a specific type of TV or just anything with a SCART input?
Second thing i was wondering is the quality of the video output (i seen what lousy things the RF converter does to my good ol' Sensi Soccer fella's...), so is the quality any good?
About the keyboard:
I've already figured out how to connect a regular Amiga keyboard (say A2000) to the A500, but al the keyboards that are available are goddamn huge and ugly as well....
Does any of u know a place where i can buy an Amiga keyboard that would fit my needs (as small as possible, and preferrably black, to match the table color)...
This might be a long shot but: is it possible to connect a regular PC-keyboard to the Amiga, given the fact that those have different keys (more even
) than the Amiga ones?
Thats about all the questions i've got for now, hope any of u can help!
Wait...one more thing:
I want to connect a 2nd (ext) floppy drive to the A500, is there any software needed to get it working, or is it just plug-n-play (hate that windoze-style phrase, but what the hell, u'll know what i mean)
Thanks,
Magerusz
