Some possibilities for trade include: - an A-520 RF modulator - (nearly complete) UK layout Mitsumi keycap set for the A500/A1200 - retrobrighed - A500 keyboard (restored and in great shape, but needs a new membrane as the Ctrl key is unresponsive)

Post New Years bump.

Still looking for NMB + Cherry caps for "æ" & "ø". (at least no-one can say I give up easily.) ;) If anyone is willing to part with these, have some lying around from a prior project or defective kybd -- or exchange for SE/FI ä & ö caps - let me know.

Still looking for DK/NO "Ø" and "Æ" keys for NMB/Hi-Tek in case someone has these lying around as spares (or harvested from a defective board.) Let me know. :thumbsup:

Aha, really(!):picard From looking at the picture of the A1200 mainboard it seemed like it had pins underneath (solder-through). Obviously this would make the whole effort simpler for sure; and I also have spare CIAs and other chips in this format – thanks @drbrain. (Now I feel stupid!) ;) - -...

So if anyone has chips they've desoldered as part of an upgrade to socketed chips, do let me know. It would help tremendously, as I do need to use a wireless keyboard with this A1200. (I assume there are no NOS stock for these with contact pins underneath and will have to be fresh working pulls...)

Exactly. :) (and again, this was primarily due to the seller of the keyboard adapter indicating it would mount over U13 (mpu), not U7, otherwise I would have kept the CIA-A as-is)

@Sveta, thanks for the offer and your help, but I feel we're talking past one another here. The only reason I wanted to replace the chip was to use it with an adapter, which is impossible when it sits in a socket (hence the reference to the original CIA chip and the first picture in the thread)...

Just to further clarify, as all the chips I am seeing for sale are for use with mounting in a socket; I need the type with pins for soldering onto a PCB. I.e, *not* this: In other words, an identical chip to what is on every unmodified A1200 mainboard (first picture in this thread), as...

Hi, (disregard the title for this as it is misleading, thanks @Sveta. It should more accurately say "not PLCC socket") I am looking for an original (to be soldered) CIA chip (391078-01), with contact pins, for an Amiga 1200 motherboard. This is in order to use an adapter over the chip to...

Bumb

Still looking for the other variants of the DK/NO localized keycaps (Cherry + NMB/Hi-Tek). If anyone has some to spare, let me know.

Thanks for the info, @Dr_Pyst. Then at least I know that the adapter works with an ISO-layout. It'll probably work with the '#' key as well. Obviously, the Ctrl+Alt+Del combo (or similar; such as Ctrl+L_Win+R_Win) is crucial though. The reason I asked about the internal kybd working at the same...

Sounds good @Dr_Pyst. :) I do have some quick questions: - Do all the keys on your external keyboard work? I assume you have an ISO-layout kybd as you are in the U.K. On mine for instance the key to the left of the "z" did not work (normally produces ">" & "<"), and the two keys to the left of...

Keys arrived today – blazing fast transatlantic shipping @Niezgodka! Also like the creative packaging ;) Now to retrobright them... Still on the lookout for localized NO/DK caps (primarily Æ & Ø) for the Cherry A2000 board and the NMB/Hi-Tek "Space-Invaders". Can exchange with other keys if...
