PC KEYBOARD ON A4000?
« on: May 15, 2008, 09:53:09 PM »
I was wondering if it is possible to buy an adapter to use a PC keyboard on an A4000.  

There are EZKEY devices available for the A1200 and A600 which privide a PC AT keyboard socket,but will either of these work on the A4000?

Cheers.

I don't know about the EZKEY adapters, but Vesalia (and probably other companies) sell adapter for A4000 too. Search for Lyra.

OK, I just bought an A4000 without a keyboard and that adapter.

I've decided to downsize my collection as I have so many machines gathering dust on the floor and I only have so much room to set them up.  I figured that I needed a big-box Amiga and AGA would be handy too so this A4000 should do the trick and I can transfer the Cybervision 643D and SCSI card from my A2000 and the internal SD/FF from my A1200T.  I'll add the USB2.0 card when it arrives plus an Emplant card.  My Minimig should take care of the rest.

So, next month I'll be putting the following items up on eBay for sale:

A2000 with original keyboard, ECS, PAL/NTSC switchable, single FDD, SCSI card with (I think) 4MB RAM, HD and CD ROM, 3.1 ROMS.
Zorro 2 8MB RAM card
Zorro 2 Amber SD/FF
A1200T with PC keybaord (Elbox), NTSC, EZKEY, IDE HD, PCMCIA Right Angle Adapter, Squirrel SCSI Adapter, FDD, 3.1 ROMS
A1200T with PC keyboard (Elbox), NTSC, EZKEY, Power Flyer Gold, HD, 5.25" ZIP drive, IDE CD ROM, FDD, 3.1 ROMS
A1200, PAL, FDD, HD, 3.0 ROMS
68030 40MHz card for A1200 with (I think) 6MB RAM
68020 28MHz card for A1200 with 4MB RAM
Squirrel PCMCIA interface
A3000, NTSC, ECS, fully populated mobo for RAM, 2xFDD, HD, 3.1 ROMS - leaking battery removed.
Keyrah fitted inside A1200 casing (allows the A1200 case to be used as a PC keyboard, great for UAE)
A1200 motherboard, PAL, dead, missing KS ROMS (can provide 3.0 ROMS)
CD32, PAL.

I guess my wife will be pleased.  :)
