Also, any of you know how to hook up an Amiga 3000 keyboard to an Amiga 500 motherboard?
Aside from getting the circuit diagrams and looking there for ways of connecting an Amiga 3000 keyboard I do only know of an (theoretical) way to connect PC keyboards to an A500:
It could be a solution to get hold of a clock port expansion for the A500 (I have a weak remembrance that once there was a hardware add-on for the A500 offering an A1200-compatible-clockport, but can't remember the name a.t.m.. There you could (in theory) connect one of
E3B's USB cards for clockport(Algor/Subway), that can be operated with
Anaiis USB stack for low-spec Amigas.
Now you can connect USB-keyboard and USB-mouse. Possibly also a 10 mBit network interface card works? That should allow for the fastest possible file transfer with old, low spec Amigas...
But I never tested the USB solution - therefor I wrote "in theory". I don't know for sure if a network card works with Anaiis - but you could ask Gilloo:

Enjoy USB on old classic Amiga.
And remember: Only Amiga makes it possible!
Oh, and I want to hook up a reset switch. I do not want to Control-A-A. The Atari ST computer has a reset swith, I wonder if something like that can be hooked up to my Amiga 500 tower?
Perhaps you prefer the new Microsoft keyboard (see attached)?
