USB keyboard and mouse on A3000

[amigadave]

I figure this has probably been discussed before, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway!

Is there an adapter to convert the 5 pin DIN keyboard plug and the DB-9 mouse plug to USB?

The reason I ask is I have a KVM and would like to integrate my newly acquired A3000 into it when I get it up and running.

Thanks.

Hey Curtis,

Yes, there is a way to connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your A3000.  It is called a Deneb board and it fits in any Zorro slot of the Amiga of your choice.  It has been highly praised and though I have one for myself, I have not had the time to re-setup and reconfigure my own A4000 so I can install and test mine.  It should be a good solution for you if you have any empty Zorro slots you can put it into.

I may use mine for the same reason, as space is a premium and multiple monitors, keyboards and mice are a hassle to deal with.

Good luck with your search for a solution that works for you.

For the mouse, I use a USB-to-PS2-to-Cocolino adapter.  I am using a logitech optical mouse with this solution and the scroll wheel even works using the cocolino driver.

Is there something similar to the cocolino that adapts a standard PS/2 or USB keyboard to the 3000/4000/4000T ?

Might be, you could try a 3000 to 4000 keyboard adapter which I think is ps2 style and ps2 to USB?
