A1200 Keyboard to PS/2 or other interface..

@DrDekker
You don't know what the keyrah is, do you

If you look a couple of post up you'll see a picture of an open A1200 case (mobo gone) and the Keyrah sitting in the top right-hand corner.

Your Amiga Foo is dropping hard - that's a C64 on the picture.

@Kolla, Plz produce a clear picture with A1200 keyboard and Keyrah wired together in the same picture of suitable pixel size..

I can do that next week when I'm home from holidays (only brought the minimig with me). In the meantime, you  can enjoy this..


The connector for the A1200/A600 ribbon cable are the stripes in the upper left of the board.

But why would anyone want to use a creaky old amiga keyboard instead of a really nice Microsoft/Logitech one?

Because some of us grew up with those "creaky old" amiga keyboards and do not find anything "nice" about the microsoft/logitech ones?

For example I pretty much _need_ to have the ctrl on the correct location. On the Minimig that means I have to hack the minimig code myself to map ctrl to capslock for every release, for MorphOS Tokai's been kind enough to build caps2ctrl functionality into nocapslock. For OS4 I don't even know if there is a solution for this. For Linux, *BSD, Windows etc there is no problem, as remapping keys on keyboards is rather trivial.

Besides, this discussion started with people wanting to build FPGAArcade into old A1200/A600 cases, using the "native" keyboard.
