Amiga 1000 Keyboard

[amigaksi]

The Amiga 500 keyboard does use a separate RESET line to do it's reset (CTRL-A-A).  Amiga 1000 uses the CLK line for its reset.

Where are these RJ## parts listed?  I know the phone line going to the wall has a different RJ## than the handset which happens to be the same as the A1000 KB connector (and usually a cheaper solution).

I meant where you do look up the ## for a particular device.  For example, what ## is the phone line that connects to the wall (RJ10, RJ11, RJ12, ...)?  What is the ## for the phone handset (RJ10, RJ11, etc.)?  What is the ## for the Atari Mega ST keyboard (RJ10, RJ11, RJ12, ...)?  What is the ## for the PC ethernet connector (RJ10, RJ11...)?

Here in USA, those handset-based phones are pretty much being thrown out so that phones cost less than the wire.  I saw a price for the cable in Office Depot for 9.99 and the phone with the cable was $5 with $5 rebate.

The company that manufactured the cables that I sell told me that the A1000 connector was RJ10 and the phone line going to the wall was RJ12 so perhaps they have their own standard since their RJ10 did work for the A1000 KB (simulation).

I guess they have to fix that FAQ.
