I have an Amiga 4000 with no keyboard .

I want to buy either an A4000 keyboard or else a Lyra adapter so that i can use a ps/2 pc keyboard .

I would prefare something from europe if possible , simply because of the postage costs . But if postage from outside europe is not expensive i will consider it .

Thanks

I use a PS2 adapter and PC keyboard with my A4000. Check out Amigakit as they stock them:

Works fine for me.

Thanks

I decided to go ahead and buy that . A4000 keyboards are expensive , and if i buy one and it breaks i will be quite unhappy .

On the otherhand pc keyboards are worth abs nothing

The first one is an A2000 keyboard . Don't think its compatible and the 2nd one i tried to buy but it didnt let me since i didn't "meet the buyer requirements" , prob cause im not in the USA .

Thanks terminator anyways though but i ordered a Lyra 2 from Amigakit :-)

the A2000 keyboard also works on A3000/4000 with proper adapter. ;-)

Dougal,

I have seen a number of used Lyra interfaces on eBay lately, and they have been sold for "almost new price". This is especially funny, as Lyra2 has been out since october and it offers some nice new features, such as soft-configuring and multimedia keys. I am a big fan of the original keyboard myself, but they do fade away, and a new keyboard (preferrably in combination with an optical mouse) does help bringing the fun back to computing.
