A1200 as keyboard????

You can. I did exactly that with my A1200 custom built tower.

I used the keyboard MPU circuit board from a A500 keyboard, and hacked that to my A1200 keyboard. Then I wired the keyboard signals directly to the A1200 motherboard (mobo kayboard hack), +5V and GND are taken from the floppy connector.

Here are some pics of the finished keyboard:

"TimO" sounds like a finnish name to me (sorry if I am mistaken), anyway, if you are a finn, check this  article (in finnish) I wrote to SAKU about my tower hack.

That's a pretty sweet hack there great job

Actually I have the above mentioned Micronik A1200 keyboard case with included PIC right here.

You're welcome to pay for the postage and have it =). Although if you happen to have an spare IDE harddrive lying about I'd be happy to relieve you of that :-D.

BTW I offered offered this housing a few months ago but then nobody wanted it...

If you still have this I will take it off your hands and pay the postage
