Amiga 1000 keyboard question

[roguebeck]

Will a standard telephone cable work for connecting the keyboard to the Amiga 1000? The telephone (handset) cable fits just fine, but since I don't have a kickstart or workbench cable yet I haven't been able to test it.

Also anyone have an idea where I can get a mouse? I see some listed on ebay, but I want to make sure I get the right type for my sytem.

TIA.

yes, standard phone cable should work with A1000 keyboard

Thank you, I had the same question in mind and now got an answer  :-D

Yup standard handset phone jack works fine.

Standard Amiga mouse will also do the trick.

btw roguebeck... On Monday I will send off the stuff you need.

Note that it's the "handset" cable, not the "phone to the wall" cable. Also, any Amiga mouse will work, it's just that the A1000 mouse had a right-angle connector, probably to stay clear of possible expansion boxes.

Excellent, I am on my way to WalMart to get a handset cord (my wife demands that the one I had remain on the phone...geeze).

I'm sure ebay will be the only place for me to locate a mouse.
