« on: July 22, 2009, 12:20:14 PM »
Is it possible to use a CDTV keyboard on the A3000 desktop ?

Yes, I've done something similar, it required opening the keyboard and flipping the keyboard cable connection (reversing it) where it connects to the board, and then you'd need an AT to PS/2 adapter on the keyboard plug.

That, or you could mess with the wires in the adapter (if it has a length of cable with it as some do.)  Cleaner to open the keyboard though.

Thank you for the quick answer :)

Would'nt it be easier to replace the PS/2 plug with a new AT plug  (din 5 pin) ?
