I'm not complaining really. I'm just doing some role playing. If my keyboard dies my Amiga is useless. Can't use the mouse for everything you know. Yeah, there might be an adapter to use an IBM keyboard. I don't know where to find it. And what about Amiga specific keys? Only the Northgate that I am using now has those. ..DonovaN

And what about Amiga specific keys? it's the KA-1 Series II keyboard adaptor by Top Secret Device (606.276.3779), lists in AC Guide for $54.95 and it was also mentioned in AmigaUser. only downside, it requires an XT keyboard for some reason. i am using it with a Keytronics keyboard that has an xt/at switch. as for the amiga keys, all you have to do is remap them. there are plenty of keys on an ibm keyboard. 🙂 the ka-1 remaps the follwing alt=amiga, ctrl=alt, caps lock=ctrl, home=help. bob – 1:226/600.3@fidonet.org – zooming by in his TIE Interceptor on AutoPilot
