Both the keyboard adapters i own can use a standard amiga keyboard with automatic recognition. They are:

- the Ateo adapter:

- the Elbox PC-Key 1200:

Grab one of those and you can use A2000/A3000/A4000 keyboards flawlessly, including Ctrl-A-A reset.

I got the impression that the original question was how to connect an external keyboard to an A1200 as an addition to the original keyboard, not as a replacement. But I cold be wrong.


In that case, the only way is to get a Subway.

Then, my fellow countryman from amigaimpact.org Pulkomandy has made some USB to Amiga keyboard adapters, basically to use A2000/A4000 keyboards on a PC, but they are also recognized by Poseidon.
I own one of the prototypes. Still buggy but promising. It is possible to update the microcode of these devices.
