A friend of mine wants to sell me his Amiga 2000 so that he can buy the
new Amiga 3000....

So as a person who has designed IBM compatibles but has never used any
Amiga hardware here are a couple of questions that I would love to know
the answer...

1) I would like to connect the A-2000 to a TV monitor that I have from
time to time... It has two inputs (composite and S-video (Y/C)).  Is
there an adaptor for either of these modes and what does it cost?

2) Can I use my PC/AT 101-key keyboard on the A2000?  I would like to
keep a uniform keyboard for all of my computers.  Would the Amiga key be
the same as the "alt" key on a PC/AT keyboard?


Thanks in advance!
