A3000 Din -> PS/2 Adapter

[psychoman]

Hi mates, I´ve ordered an Lyra 2 interface to my brothers A3000 and missed out that the 3000 needs an Din to PS/2 adapter.. so a simple question, will an regulary (found to the pc around the net) converter do, or is the pinout different on an amiga? basically i´m thinking of soldering an own cable since i have an female ps/2 and an male DIN laying around here.. but can i follow the same schematics there is for standard pc converter?

The pinout from din to mini din is different, but as long your lyra expects a4000 signals that will be ok, I have been using the cable you need long time to interchange keyboards between various a2000-3000 using a4000 keyboard..

hope this helps..

If the Lyra 2 ends in a mini-DIN A4000 keyboard plug, a simple PC DIN-to-Mini-DIN adapter will allow you to use it on an A3000. I use an A4000 keyboard on my A3000 using exactly one of those cheap PC adapters.

yep simple answer is yes,
they just pass the signal straight through but have a different connector on then end

I use a din adapter all the time, well when I am using my A2000 Keyboard on the A4000 or the A1200
