Amiga 500 Question(s)
« on: August 16, 2015, 09:53:55 PM »
So I picked up an Amiga 500 and as expected the floppy drive was TU so I replaced it with a GoTek drive.
No real issues worked great but I don't see me playing many mult disk games anytime soon.

So here is the real question anyone have any experience with the Amiga -> PS2 keyboard Adaptor.

I couldn't find a cheaper way to replace the original keyboard and didn't want to buy a used one.
And I have a stack of PS2 keyboards I am not using anymore.

Any thoughts?

Not sure what a replacement keyboard costs, but the adapter is $60.  I might actually have a correct keyboard, but its with lots of others in storage, and to me, they all look the same.

There is also a YouTube video showing how to make an adapter.

Thanks

I will keep that in mind.

Any ideas on a hardrive solution that can still be bought.
