Okay kids, here goes (!) : A while ago a friend of mine and I designed an
interface that allowed one to put an AT keyboard on your Amiga. I got some
replys and before I knew it, my partner got greedy and wigged out. Now I 
have redesigned the board and will give out the plans for free (soon to be
released on the internet as freeware) or I will make you a board for a paltry
amount of money (around $20-25) plus shipping. It's extremely simple, takes
three chips, some wire, and a few capacitors. The software is long and
tedious and you will either need a way to get the source code across to
an eprom burner or a way to assemble 8051 code if you don't want me to make
the board for you.

My board is by far the superior of the previous board we made up and will
support both XT/AT keyboards for interface to either a A500/1000/2000.

It includes nice features like "one hand computer reset" and a nice logo
display key. :-)

Let me know if you are interested. I will reply to anyone who writes me.
