Congrats man on your find!
I deeply respect first Amiga model, so I too have one sittin' proudly on display in fully working condition. In few years past I had even four of those at one time,

Anyway, about your missing keyfile... Maybe really you need to check startup-sequence lines
as soon as you get your keyboard rescued. Maybe you should consider similar A500 keyboard hack I did some time ago if no luck with original keyboard.

Otherwise your system seems function correctly so congrats again dude!
Oh yeh, plese clean her up real good!
And one more question, can you please post pix of bottom of case so serial number would be visible? Just curious because of these "boingball" logos intead of usual "checkmark"! Could be late add ons, but who knows, maybe some early unit in question? Seems your keyboard controller chip was made in August 1985 (week 34) so it's early all right!
