Default WTB: non yellowed A2000 keyboard/case & PS2 adapter
I know keyboards can be had on ePay, but thought I'd try here first. Really just need the shell for one, but would take the whole thing if need be (must be in excellent shape and not yellowed). Also, would like a male XT <> female PS2 adapter so I can use a PS2 keyboard on my A2500. Will IBM keyboards even work? I've got an old IBM keyboard with the tactile clickety-click (nice feeling) keyboards I'd like to use. Course, not sure about the Amiga-Amiga key workaround...

IBM, if not all PS2 keyboards will work with a suitable adapter. The Aming-Amiga-Ctrll gets remapped to Windows Left-Windows Right-Left CTRL

Be advised though, you might have to press a key on the PS2 keyboard before the miggy accepts input from it. You can tell if this is so by no CAPS/NUM/SCROLL lights being lit on the keyboard when booting up.

Thanks for the tip ZeBeeDee.

BTW: the vintage keyboard I am talking about (one of the last ever to be constructed as well) does NOT have the Windoze buttons. That's why I was wondering how the A-A keys would be handled...
