If you use a PS2 to din adapter for the Amiga keyboards, are the clock/data pins in the same place? If so, we can do it.
The A4000 keyboard pinout, A3000/A2000 keyboard with adapter and PS/2 keyboard pinout are identical. Data on pin 1, clock on pin 5.

I presume only the protocol is different.

Thanks Alex.
Should be easy then. I'll ask around the Amiga users here in Stockholm and see if I can borrow one to play with.

All I know is I have an external keyboard adapter in my A1200T and I can plug in a real PS/2 keyboard or real A2000 keyboard with adapter and it just works(tm).  I think I used my A4000 keyboard on it for a while too, many years ago.

Maybe all that is some sort of clue.


> What is the name of your adapter?

If I knew that don't u think I would have told u? :D

I'd rather have Megadrive controllers work as a CD32 gamepads, but it's good to have options.

Maybe one could add something to the verilog code to handle the DB9 atari style ports as PS/2 ones with a suitable connector adapter?

no, just static input delay is not good enough for normal device variation.


What kind of input delay do you mean?

What makes it impossible to have both possibilities using the same hardware ?

Different connectors?

Both are DB9 and the wiring doesn't really matter when you can so easily replace the controller.

@MikeJ: this "two weeks" has become an Amiga joke, don't take my quote seriously! :P


You bastards... every time someone says "Two weeks" my brain goes into an Arnie TOTAL RECALL bootloop for an hour or so.... Now you set me off again!!

You've got a Lyra or other such hardware adapter.

Should be possible to implement the same detect logic inside the FPGA Replay Board. It is probably uber simple.

I want in as well :)

No need to keep upgrading the old amigas when the FPGAArcade can be bought.

Just to clarify: my keyboard adapter is not external.  It sits inside my A1200T doing its job.  I have never actually seen it or know what it is but I prob have the docs for it in a box somewhere.

I just meant the adapter lets me use an external keyboard instead of the silly A1200 one. :)

Hi,
I don't often check the PMs but I do respond to all email.
There was a bit of a forwarding problem recently.
There's a couple of you here on Amiga.org who mail me regularly. I am hoping to get the current stock out to you guys shortly. Please keep being patient!
More are on the way.

The day this is released with all sources for building it yourself I don't think I'll be able to hold back from ordering any longer...
