448.0. "Extra keyboards?" by ECC::JAERVINEN (May all your loops be infinite) Thu Apr 09 1987 12:39

    Does anyone know where one could get an extra (US) keyboard for
    the Amiga? Commodore Germany doesn't deliver any...
    
    Or even better, to find an Amiga-2000 keyboard (are they compatible)?

    according to the usenet, the A2000 keyboard is compatible, just
    not plug-compatible.  It has a DIN plug instead of phone jack.
    You would need an adapter or just change the connector.  The trick
    is to find an A2000.  Has C-A started selling them?
    
    I suspect you need to find an Amiga repair shop - they must be
    able to order "replacement" keyboards from C-A.

    I haven't seen one in the shops yet - though everybody is advertising
    them and they're supposed to start shipping this month here (I hope
    it wasn't an April fools' joke).
    
    Trying a repair shop might be a good idea - I hope Commodore doesn't
    use same pricing structure for spares as the car manufacturers,
    though...
