A2000 keyboard jamming in some games
« on: November 23, 2009, 08:32:35 PM »
Hello all!

Does anyone know, is there compatibility problem with model A Amiga 2000 keyboard, when used in model B Amiga 2000? I recently stumbled to problem where my keyboard jamms after one input in certain games. I was trying to connect my A500 keyboard to A2000, but I can't hook it up right. So anyone out there, please tell me how to connect A500 keyboard to 2000. I have electrical diagrams for both machines, so I connected;

A500 pin 1 (data)  to A2000 pin 2 (data)
A500 pin 2 (clock) to A2000 pin 1 (clock)
A500 pin 4 (+5V)   to A2000 pin 5 (+5V)
A500 pin 6 (ground)to A2000 pin 4 (grnd.)

Machine boot up normally, but keyboard prints just " ' " letter without my assistance. Caps lock will go on and off normally when pressed. So what did I do wrong, or what should I connect to make this puppy work?

You were right, thank you! I indeed somehow managed to crossconnect clock and data wires...Now keyboard doesn't jam in games with A500 keyboard connected.
