The A1000 keyboard pinouts are (looking at the cable with the clip on the bottom, going left to right): Gnd, KBData, KBClk, and +5V.  Easier and cheaper to get an old PC laptop than an A500 and use the following cable:

EDIT: link is bad.  Working link is:

it will simulate not only the A1000 keyboard, but the mouse and joystick as well and won't draw any power from the A1000.  The A500 keyboard uses a different way to reset than the A1000, A2000, A3000, and A4000.  The A500 keyboard connector has a separate reset signal.  Also, the pinouts given for the A500 in some documentations I have read have the pins incorrectly labelled.  I already went through a whole bunch of Amigas in experimenting to implement the software simulation of the keyboard (included in MPDOS).  

If you want to modify a keyboard for the A1000, use the A2000 or A4000 one.

Okay, I listed an Amiga 1000 keyboard on Ebay if anyone is looking for one and I'm throwing in simulated version of keyboard/mouse/joystick for small amount if you win the auction:

If you just want the simulated one (which also works with most other amigas):
