PS 2 Keyboards on Amiga
« on: June 22, 2008, 01:48:05 PM »
Been using a PS 2 KB with adaptor on my A3k.
I just found that the Back-Slash key isn't reconized.
I tried another KB with the Back-Slash key in another
position. Same thing, not reconized.

Do I have a couple of falty KB's and keep trying until
I find a KB that works, or is this a common problem ??

Hi Mel

The keycodes generated by the PS2 keyboard should be independant of key location.  I think the adaptor remaps the codes to Amiga standards.  Mine has a jumper inside, I believe, to choose an alternate mapping.  I've been toying with re-housing the adaptor in a box with a switch so I can select them on the fly.


Hmmm..... it seems to me I've seen a prg. that remaps
the KB to what you want but can't remember where.
I've checked Aminet but didn't find anything.
Anyone know of a prg. to remep the keyboard ?
