Anyone got a good tutorial how to connect a a4000 external keyboard to a a1200? I been checking out aminet but didn't find anything useful. Or if there is any keyboard adapter for a4000 keyboard.


It is fairly easy to connect an A4000 kbd to the 1200.

Easiest way is to make connections on the underside of the motherboard, plus 2 small trace cuts are required.
Considerably easier than trying to solder to the PLCC pins of the keyboard controller  :-o

Check out:

Text is Spanish only, but the pics are quite easy to follow.

Done it to several machines here, no probs.
