A3000 keyboard question
« on: January 10, 2008, 01:25:03 AM »
I managed to pick up a A3000 yesterday (for a measily $50AUS!), and it has a strange cable coming out of the side of the keyboard.  It is a ribbon cable, with what looks like a 50 pin header on it.  I popped the back cover off and the ribbon is spread all over the the pcb, connected to little resistors.  Also, on the top of the keyboard is a GVP sticker over the function keys (I presume for a Genlock).

Any ideas?

(BTW, the motherboard is clean as a whistle inside.  No battery leaks whatsoever!)

Right, got a picture.....




I did finally get the 3000 going this evening.  I seemed to have scored one with 2meg Chip ram and 4 meg Fast Ram.  Absolutely nothing on the hard drive bar WB 2, so i will have to hunt around for a couple of disks to start transferring files over.  I'm guessing a 3.1 ROM and WB 3.1 would be a good start too :-)
