I thought about doing something like this with an amiga 500 I have.
 
What did you use to get the amiga keyboard working with the pc motherboard?
 
This is a great idea, because even though its an emulator, you have the look and feel of a real amiga like you remember, but without all the hardware problems and upgrades it would take to get that kind of functionality, great job!

Oh yeah thats good to know, I was just wondering recently if the a1200 keyboard would fit in an a500 case.
 
A500 cases are very common and its a bit roomier for a project like this, you could fit 3 or 4 hard drives, cd-rom whatever inside that longer case.
 
I think the trick with this is finding a motherboard that the kxlight installation of aforever works with well, that is video and sound thats
built into the motherboard working well. I can't say I've had much luck with the kxlight install, opting instead for windows xp hosted but with windows shell removed, replaced with os3.x
 
Its very cool to do a project like this and get to use an amiga case and keyboard still, I'd love to build one some day, but I have several other projects brewing already.
 
Still, if anyone has an old amiga 1200 keyboard, or an a500 case you'd like to part with for such a project, feel free to pm me.
