The only keyboard I've found with enough keys is Northgate's OmniKey Plus. How are you planning to map the two Amiga keys? I would chuck the Amiga keyboard without hesitation if a decent alternative were available. Please post more details since there are many keyboardless A1000s now, A500s longing for an extension, and A2000s suffering with the stock keyboard. Now that there are quality mouse alternatives a new keyboard is sorely needed for those who spend all day at the keyboard. -- Jimmy Liberato ...!amdahl!drivax!liberato
