I know that a guy on Ebay sell keyboards adapter for the 1200, so you can use a standard ps2 keyboard (saw similar items on other online store too, altho they are all located in EU); but I am curious to know if I can get something that allows me to use either a PS2 keyboard, or an amiga 2000/4000 keyboard, on a   1200.

The reason being that I am planning to save the original case and port the motherboard in a small desktop case; which will require to put away the original keyboard and use either a PS2 keyboard or one from the Amiga desktops.

PS2 are more common, but I would like to use a real vintage Amiga keyboard, altho I can't find any info about how could you possibly hook it up to the 1200.

Hopefully it won't involve too small solder points...I am quite shaky on that :) So far no luck in an adaptor for the A2000/A4000 keyboard; only the one for the ps2.

Any suggestion about what should I do (and how) ? Thanks!


connecting an amiga 2000/4000 keyboard to the A1200 is easy mod
