Hi guys, I've got a small handful of big box Amiga's that I acquired with no keyboards! I really don't want to use PC keyboard adapters, so I'm looking to see if anyone has any old Amiga keyboards, working or not, which I can then adapt/fix for the relevant box it will go with. I don't expect...

I hate it when companies impose the classic password criteria of eight characters and a capital. It makes the password so difficult to remember. My last one was HueyDeweyLouieDonaldDaisyGoofyMickeyMinnieSydney! :D

The older version of the 1084s uses a 6-pin DIN RGB lead. I've got one of them myself. The SCART version has those DIN ports missing/covered. The pins are essentially identical - it's just a different plug. You could make an adapter to go from DIN to DB9 or vice-versa easily enough. Click on...

Interesting how much smaller the US packaging is to the Australian packaging (same artwork, but the box is much longer and slightly narrower - C64 on one side, PSU on the other side, not in front).

Keyboard arrived today, well wrapped and in great nick. Many thanks! Positive feedback ensues... Had a fun time comparing the UK keyboard layout to the Aussie one a few minutes ago too. :)

Forgot you guys have that weird system of licensing TV, but isn't that for watching broadcasts, not for using your own systems? Can you get SCART-enabled PC monitors in the same way you can get HDMI-enabled monitors? I tell you what though, I wish we had SCART-enabled TV's in Australia - you...

I'm using one of these devices with my Amigas. It accepts RGB from the SCART input and does a very nice job converting it into a number of selectable output modes ranging from 640x480 all the way through to 1080p (though there seems to be some lag at this level). I use it in 1280x1024 mode to...

We got a more world-generic keyboard in the Aussie-delivered A1200 with the smaller Enter key, but the extra key that it made way for was simply left blank and does absolutely nothing on the US keyboard map that we use. Click on the image for full size! Yeah, if I look at my C64's keyboard...

In Australia, we use the US QWERTY keyboard. Click image for full size! Not too different to the UK keyboard.

Ouch. Speed and tracking is not that important in this case - how about the Royal Mail? I've received stuff in good time that way before at a reasonable price.

Welcome aboard! We need more Aussie's here. :)

Definitely interested - how much do you reckon it'd be to send to Australia?

Welcome aboard!

Power led, HDD led and front panel key lock (just follow the wires). You can't break anything if you connect them incorrectly.
