Being one of those weird types who thinks that IBM's keyboards are heaven
on earth, I've thought about interfacing an IBM keyboard to the Amiga
quite a bit.  While not (at all) directly compatible, it wouldn't be
too terrifically hard to build an intelligent interface, using something
like a 6803 or 8051, which would accept IBM keyboard input and produce
Amiga keyboard output.  You would have to build and program the sucker,
though - as far as I know, no one makes such a product off-the-shelf.
