- My a1000 keyboard seems to slowly be dying (I have already had to
- replace one of the keys, and it looks like another might be on the way
- soon). Is it possible to build an adapter to use the a2000 keyboard
- with it (I would probably by a Northgate Omnikey, which says that it
- works with the a2000). This one just doesn't have the life left in it.
-
- Also, has anyone ever tried remounting the a1000 motherboard into a
- larger case? I bought an old baby-at case as an expansion unit (to hold
- a full height hard drive), and was wondering if I could just put the
- whole amiga in there (it would be nice to not have three cpu boxes on my
- desk (a1000, expansion box, and a 386).
-
- Finally, has anyone tried the bynery hack, and had good luck with it. I
- am considering using it to get an old mfm drive working in my a1000.
- Does the guy who designed it still sell the extended drivers (so that
- you can get more than 10megs out of a disk), or will I have to hack his
- free drivers.
