Any info on pinout for A500 internal keyboard?
« on: February 12, 2006, 06:53:46 AM »
I'm looking for information about the 9-pin single row at the end of the internal keyboard connector in the A500.

I want to replace it with normal keyboard and a microcontroller.

I was wondering if anyone knew what each pin is and what form the data takes when transmitted.

And I super lucky in assumming 9-pins equals 2 for Gnd and Vcc and 7 for ASCII codes transmitted in parallel?

(I don't have a 'scope here to check it out, nor logic analyser).

Thanks,

Nigel

Ah thanks, that is a great start for me.

That begs the question, which other Amigas had the same keyboard (connection and data protocol) as the A500?
