On the subject, is there such a beast as an Amiga keyboard -> PS/2 or AT port adapter? Just curious - it'd be kind of fun to have.

Maybe he wants to use an original Amiga keyboard while he is running WinUAE, or AmigaForever to get a more Amiga like feel for his emulation.
Actually, my theoretical intent was so's I can use a KVM switch between my tower PC and my Amiga, now that I'm getting a machine with VGA out. My new 3000 is coming with a PS/2->Amiga mouse adapter, and while I know there are PC keyboard->Amiga adapters, it'd be fun to do it the other way around :)
