PC to Amiga 1000 Keyboard adaptor
« on: January 04, 2003, 11:48:45 AM »
Since my old Amiga 1000 Keyboard is practially dead, does anyone know where i can get an adaptor so that i can use a PC keyboard instead?

IF not, does anyone know how to make one? i don't mind soldering stuff together.

I'm in Australia BTW

Looking at the socket on the Amiga, tab down, you get this

pin1: +5Volts
pin2: clock
pin3: data
pin4: GND

Would just wiring the relavent pics from the PC keyboard to the Amiga one work? I recall that oen of the pins on the 5 pin DIN isn't connected
