Plain A1200???

[Piru]

So can't I just use A1200 keyboard and make/mod case for it?

It's possible, but not easy.

@DrValkyer

Did you grab that circuit from the motherboard?

It's from A500 keyboard... In fact, the metal part of the keyboard and the keyboard matrix (the thin green thingie inbetween layers) is from A500 (that is, only the keys themselves are from A1200).

This way the the only thing I had to do was to solder a connector to A1200 (with wires going directly to the mobo, and disabling the onboard keyboard controller).

Full instructions are available from aminet hard/hack (somewhere, can't remember the file name right now).

Oh {bleep}. Just realized you're from Finland..

Ok here we go, my article on Finnish Amiga User club mag: Iso torni - A1200 torniin 650 markalla
(It's in finnish)

A quick note: This is just one way of doing it, there are other ways aswell.

What about the AmigaOS, is it possible to pre-install it into HD? (If no floppy-drive)

I guess it should be possible with WinUAE and modern Windoze. Haven't ever tried it myself though.
