That's correct. Now, the interesting thing is that
according to pinout
charts, the keyboard cables are the same (clock, data, not used, ground,
+5). However, the keyboards are not compatible. Does anyone know what
the difference is?
Off the top of my head it might have something to do with the layout of the
keys, and a different number of keys. I do know that they are
incompatible, although you can get a device to allow you to connect a PC
Keyboard, I believe it costs about as much to get the adapter as it would
to get a keyboard (go figure).

NOTE: The Amiga 2000 was released in 1987 and is therefore a valid topic of
discussion as it is 11 years old. The Amiga 500 was released the same year.
