amiga keyboard and e box key v 2.0

[3246251196]

amiga 1200 tower with this interfave http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=541.

interface works with old pc ps2 keyboard.

I got this item http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253244310443
http://www.bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=648

and it does not seem to work. serial mt 9308 model kpr-e94yc part 365266-02.

There does not seem to be any life at all. even the caps lock light does not appear or flash on boot.

is it the keyboard for sure ?

Thanks mj,

I have tried a pc ps2 into the adapter (using the ps2 to din) and it works so I guess it is the amiga keyboard. I known it seems obvious due to the process of elimination but I just wanted to see if anyone knew any other reason. I guess I will have to get this resolved with eBay then.

Thanks for the response. The only way I can think of doing that is actually soldering wire to the cia pins and I think that would be more hassle than its worth.

I am quite tempted to trash the idea of getting a proper external keyboard and just getting an a500 kb and do as you suggested with the pins. I would need to extend the cable though.
