Wanted: Amiga 3000 keyboard and floppy drive bay covers
« on: April 14, 2012, 08:27:49 PM »
I'm looking for an Amiga 3000 keyboard in good condition with little or no yellowing.  Yes, I know an A2000 keyboard will work, but the A3000 keyboard looked a little different and I'd like to get one for my A3000.
 
Also looking for the plastic floppy drive bay covers as well.
 
Let me know if you have either and are willing to sell.  I'm located in the US.
 
Thanks!

I believe the A4000 keyboard uses a PS/2 connector and the Amiga 3000 is the same as the Amiga 2000.


The OP is right, the Amiga 3000 keyboard is different than the Amiga 2000's keyboard.  I think it looks nicer.  But I think the entire Amiga 3000 looks nicer.  :-)

A3000 is my favorite model, followed by the A1000.

The 3000&4000 keyboards looks the same though.  There is an adapter for the connection in the back.

Yes, but I have neither keyboard.  A3000 keyboards have been all over eBay lately but I can't seem to win one. A4000 keyboards seem to be even more rare.

Thanks guys.  I scored a decent A3000 keyboard on amibay this morning.  Still looking for a floppy bay cover or two for the A3000 if anyone has a spare.  It is for a mod.  ;)

I also need a floppy bay cover for A3000. BTW, what kind of mod are you doing?

I've got a card reader in the right floppy bay and I want to mod a cover to be easily removable so I can add/remove cards through the floppy slot.  I have 1 floppy bay cover but am reluctant to mod it in case my plan doesn't work out so well.  :)
