Hi. I understand that C Ltd. was selling replacement AT-style keyboards for the A1000 at the Chicago AmiExpo. I would be EXTREMELY interested in hearing the details of this and especially how to acquire one. All replies will be greatly appreciated! Thank you! David Czaya

Thats right, Its a AT style 101 keys, with built in macros. It will work on the 1000, or 2000. Should be available from you local dealer, If not and he doesn't want to get ya one, give me a call. Thanks for asking! Charlie

Thanks! It's just what I need. I have been to my dealer and he apparently wants nothing to do with it. He told me simply "It not available yet!" What number do I call and should I ask for anyone in particular? Thanks… -Dave

C Ltd, This replacement keyboard I've hard about, is it "campatible" with CBM's newer A2000 keyboard. I have the "Cherry" keyboard (the one with the small function keys) and am having some problems with a couple of programs which I have AN Immediate need for. BTW, How much are the suckers. ..Mike D.

Yes, it will work with the a2000, and the a1000, and the a500. It takes some hardware knowlage to install it in the 500. the keyboard is around $130.00, sorry I don't have a price list around. Charlie C ltd.

Charlie, My main concern is if it work with things that my "cherry" board will not work with due to some developers taking shortcuts to reading the keyboards. EG. Transformer works with the A1000, A500, but not the A2000 with a "cherry" board but with an A2000 with the newer keyboards from CBM. Mike D.
