A4000 keyboard solutions?
« on: May 21, 2008, 06:24:20 AM »
I have an A4000 with no keyboard... I'm wondering if there are any options other than waiting for one to turn up on ebay. Can a 2000 keyboard be hooked up with an adapter of some kind, perhaps even something as simple as a PC DIN-to-PS2 adapter? I've got 2 or 3 A2000 keyboards, so this would be easiest. Is there a way to make a PC keyboard work? I think I've heard of some kind of adapter that lets this work.

Are there any non-ebay sites that have good prices (or even any prices) for A4000 keyboards? None of the Amiga shops I've used seem to have them.

On an unrelated note, whats the best way to get more RAM in one of these than the max 16MB of SIMMs? I assume some sort of Zorro card is the way to go. I know of some Zorro II RAM boards, are there any Zorro III ones and is there an advantage to using them? My 4000 has a Commodore-made 68040 CPU card in it with no RAM slots, and I'd prefer not to have to hunt down and pay for a fancier CPU card if there's a good Zorro solution.

Getting a keyboard on it is much more urgent, however.

Excellent, the DIN-to-PS2 adapter worked great. Saves me some money and effort.
