A couple more questions for my A500T project..

[SamOS39]

1. External Keyboard:
On the amiga 500 keyboard the is a separate little board with the LEDs and the main keyboard is plugged into that with a ribblon cable, the same width cable as an A1200/600 keyboard.

What would it work if i plugged an A1200 keyboard into this (pre interface?) board?
And if so would i be able to use an A1200T keyboard adaptor?

2.Zorro2 busboard:
I have found a guide on aminet for making a zorro2 slot out of the 100pin A500 slot. The guide can be found HERE.

/\ This is the schematic which comes with the guide, the only problem is i want to make a busboard with at least 4x zorro2 sockets. What chips and components would i need and well how would i do it?

3. Would THIS work with THIS?

oops i think im starting to think too far ahead  :-)

Cheers
Samm.

Ill have a look!
Ive already been on that site but i got lost, its a big site and its all in German.  :roll:

[SamOS39]

where can i get buster chips and where do i put them?
one between each slot..?

also. i have 3 amiga keyboards (a4000 i think) and they have a  normal keyboard din conector. are you telling me i can just plug it straight in? what pins go where..?

[SamOS39]

thanks, found a couple things already!

babble fish eh .. ill have to remember that one  :-)

[SamOS39]

I still havent found much  :-(

I suppose i could just pick at the schematics of an A2000 while comparing the A500 .. It looks like the people who have made these boards have used the A2000 for reference ..? :-?

[SamOS39]

Cheers for the link!

Right! I want to make one of THESE!
No schematics ?! wHAT A SHAME

Ill just heve to eyeball this high res image! :insane:

[SamOS39]

For example.
I had one of these in my A1200T.

I used an A4000/2000 keyboard with it and it worked just fine.

Is there anyway i can get this adapter working with my A500?

cheers
Samm.

I think the Amiga 500/2000 technical reference manual has a design for a Zorro II Buss board. It's been a long time since I've read through it though as my copy is in storage. Perhaps somebody has this information for you.

Wheres amibench when you need it  :-(
