A3000/A1200 hybrid?
« on: June 04, 2007, 05:24:04 AM »
Is it possible to use an A3000 with an A1200 for the keyboard?  Can they be mixed and matched that way?  A friend just gave me an A3000 and I'm thinking of hardware and case mod projects.  Could an A500 be used as a keyboard for an A3000?

Will they work as a team or separately?  Any ideas?

My friend has hundreds pieces of Amiga kit which he will allow me to scavenge.

Thanks
be seeing you

Man fit the plan, apes are here to prove it.
We can walk like a man, talk like a man, do what humans do.
Yes god made apes but a human supplied the glue.

To all:

I was curious about the possibility.  I have one A2000 and two a3000 keyboards which my friend suplied with the A3000D.  I have two A1200s and 3 A500s and was brainstorming (or maybe brain-fogging) about them.

Why would someone build a heavy wooden tower or a table with an Amiga installed in it?  Why would someone build a pc out of an aquarium filled with oil; a fake meteorite; a manga character; a blob of construction foam; etc?  Probably because noone had done so before.

There are some bizarre case mods out there and I am trying to come up with one myself.  That's all.  That's why we ask, as I recall.

It doesn't sound like this is within my capabilities currently and I thank everyone who answered or will answer.  Perhaps my tech friend can suggest or do something with this idea.

Any more suggestions?

be seeing you

Technoid/Tripitaka:

Interesting.  It appears to use rare but costly hardware.  My hope is to use my existing or donated parts because I don't have much free cash.

I've also thought about building my amigamod in a coffee machine with external devices fitted into empty 2+ lb coffee cans.  I have all that gear here.

It's like I heard a Shakespearean actor told: "You have all the right words, now let's get them in the right order."

Keep'em comin'.
