Use A500 Keyboard as USB PC/Mac Keyboard
« on: March 24, 2016, 10:26:09 AM »
Hello all, I happen to have an old A500 keyboard, just like this:



Is there an easy way (like buying online) an USB adapter so I can use it on a regular PC?

Technically A500 keyboard is identical to A1200, if you remove logic board from it. Only has
 shorter connector ribbon. So theoreticly will work with keyrah board a1200 interface.
