I am looking for an Amiga 1000 keyboard to replace my existing one that does not work so well. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks you Robert

My Amiga dealer does not carry Amiga 1000 keyboards. Robert

Robert, No, probably not in stock, but he can order one. Or I believe they can still order them. Have their service tech check for you. Don

The new CDTV from Commodore offers a keyboard as an option which is the same as the A1000 keyboard in a different color. So if your dealer is insistant, he'll be able to get an A1000 keyboard. THol() { cout << "Sir, I exist." ;}

Robert – Get yourself an A2000 keyboard for that A1000 of yours! With the addition of a simple conversion plug you can use the A2000 keyboard. (IMHO-> a better kboard). Besides, it may be easier to get these days than the A1000 ones. Also – There was a thread around here last month that mentioned a IBM third party Kboard manufature had a model that worked with the Amiga. I don't remember the specifics of Name?Model?Price?Quality? but I'm sure someone will pop in here with that info. This Kboard would need the same adapter plug for you 1000. – Roy Pahnke – Crazy Mountain Software Casper, Wyomin' – 1-800-76 AMIGA

Hope someone can give me more information on the IBM third party that you mentioned..The Amiga 2000 keyboard sound like a possible way to go… Robert

Northgate makes an Amiga-2000 compatible keyboard. I think they advertize their PC line in every issue of InfoWorld, and they probably have a listing with 800 Directory Assistance. Ask the Northgate operator for a keyboard salesperson, and make sure the one you get knows about the Amiga or knows someone s/he can ask. THol() { cout << "Sir, I exist." ;}
