The keyboard does not have a membrane, it has all-the-way soldered pcb. It's probably working, but theres couple of keycaps missing and one cap attachment white thingy missing also... :-/ Oh, and it does have that famous C= key in the left side instead of Amiga -key.Quote:

You and TroelsDK could probably make one working KB together? :)Quote:

there is an 'o' after the name it denotes original:
Championship manager O, Super cars, Nightbreed O, Chaos engine, 1869 O, Pro tennis tour 2, Silent service, Caesar O, Nights of the sky, Realms O, Championship manager 93 O, Heros, The blue and the grey O, Beast 2 O, Knights of the sky O, Centurion, Birds of prey O, Wings, Striker, Lintrack, Days of thunder O, Bedroom Olympiad, Back to the future II O, Super cars, Battle squadron O, Lords of the realm O, Sensible world of soccer, Starlord O, Power longer O, Kick 2 O, Populous II O, Pirates O, Wings of fury, Nitro, Micro maths O, Cricket O, Silent service II O, Hard drivin O, Centurion defender of Rome O, First Samaria O, Amiga the very first English version O, Amiga workbench1.3.2 United Kingdom O, Amiga extras1.3 O, Amiga basic1.2 O, Amiga international O, Dune 2.
That means it's an early revision 3 A500, so that also means you have to get a keyboard from a dead revision 3 A500.Quote:

Was given to me for free, came home, took the keyboard out, and voila, a nice A500 Plus revision 8A with kickstart 3.1 and almost no battery damage :-D
I'm pretty sure that we tested TroelsDK's keyboard and it was working fine on a common rev 5/6 A500, just lacking a few keys.Quote:
