How can I connect A2000 (DIN5) keyboard to PC (PS/2)?

How can I connect A2000 (5 pin DIN) keyboard to PC (PS/2 port)?

Due to my horrible disabling pain I cannot use PC keyboards.  A2000 keyboard much less painful.

Anyone know of any KVM switches with a manual switch on them?
Or any KVM switch that would somehow work with an A2000 keyboard?
(A2000 keyboard lacks a scroll lock key so it won't work with my current lovely KVM switch)

I cannot get back to writing Amiga software until these problems are solved.

Thank you for your assistance.

Ideally what I need is a keyboard that uses springs with zero-impact.
However I do not know how to find such a keyboard.

Most keyboards these days are made in China and very high-impact.
Especially the ones that claim to be "Ergonomic" seem to be the most painful ones of all.

The A2000 keyboard is not perfect but at least it uses SPRINGS.  Springs are shock absorbers.  They greatly reduce my pain.


p.s. I can't use an A1200 or A600 keyboard.

Hey Kolla,

Years ago (1996-2003) I used to chat with you all the time on IRC.  First on my A3000 with an A2000 keyboard then on my A1200T 060 with an A2000 keyboard.  Those were good times. :)

Then my horrible pain started and I had to ban myself from IRC. :cry:
