Nope, no keyfile needed for Genesis :)
Hmm,... that's a bit odd about it asking you to insert amitcp when starting Genesis. Perhaps a remnant from a previous attempt at installing a tcp/ip stack?
I recommend installing snoopdos and seeing exactly what its looking for at that point and possibly making an assign for "amitcp:" at that path. Not a particularly "clean" solution, but it may work (snoopdos will give you clues here as to whether it will or not). Slight sidebar, but snoopdos is pretty essential in general, so get it if you dont already have it  :)

As for the a1200 keyboards, Im with Cammy and Snoozy here, I really like them. Theyre both nice and "soft" to type on, plus quite sturdy. My only complaint would be that some common multiple key combinations dont work. They definately use springs and not some rubber membrane though. Ive actually lost the spring from my keypad enter key at the moment so have some blutac holding up the little tube switch/clip/whatever_you_call_it thing that the key plugs into (and that spring sits in). :)
Not my greatest makeshift diy fix it job I must admit  :)
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.
