Mikronik Infinitiv 1200 tower and A4000 keyboard
« on: June 19, 2005, 01:47:16 PM »
Is it possible?

During this week I'll receive one of this tower for my A1200 and I'd like to use an original Amiga keyobard.

Since I already own an A4000 keyboard, can I use it?

Thanks!

Yes, that's sure... but a PC keyboard is not good on Amiga  :-D

Otherwise, excluding the Micronik controller, is it possible to put a PS/2 connector on 1200's motherboard to connect directly the 4000's keyboard?

Yes... but is it possibile to add a simple PS/2 connector to the 1200's mobo to link directly a standard external Amiga keyboard like the A4000's one?

The A4000's keyboard has its internal chip to control keys activities while the 1200 has it directly on the motherboard, so I don't know if it can create a conflict between them. But I'm pretty sure that we can find a way to solve this little issue!  :-D

I want try to explain me better: my idea is to exclude the Micronik keyboard controller and add a new one. And, I think, since I should use an original Amiga's keyboard, it'll not require a controller but a simple connector.
Now, the problem is: where do I have to solder the wires of PS/2 female plug?  :-D
