IBM Model M Keyboard

[christo930]

The Model M IBM KB is one of the best out there and I just to own a few of them. One unique thing about them is they have a detachable cable. Does anyone know if there is a relatively easy way to use one of these keyboards with an Amiga 1000 or 2000?

PS/2 to Amiga adaptors are cheap and plentiful on eBay. If you have a very early Model M with the AT connector then you need an AT to PS/2 adaptor and the Amiga adaptor.

You need this adapter to use PC keyboard in Amiga http://amigastore.eu/en/360-pc-keyboard-adapter-lyra-3-bigbox.html, plus DIN to miniDIN adapter on A2000. For A1000 little bit harder, you need custom miniDIN to RJ11 adapter.

I actually do have an A2000 keyboard, but not an A1000 KB (but I do own an A1000). That store is in Europe, do you know of any places in America that sell such a cable/converter for the 1000?

AmigaKit is in EU, but they sell to USA
