Keyboards are about $50 each and very rare, as
they are not the same as PC keyboards. Look for 10 function keys
instead of 12, and fewer keys in the area between the QWERTY and the
numeric keypad.
Speaking of A1000 keyboards, does anyone have a destroyed one they
can let parts go from? I am repairing an A1000 keyboard for a friend
(two or three of the keys are shot from playing the same game over and
over) and I have no parts. I was going to pull a switch or two from an
uninteresting place (like "HELP" which never seems to get any use) to
get his letter keys functional.
What I _should_ do is give him an A500 in exchange for his A1000. It'll
play the same games and he won't miss the A1000 (not that I need another
one - I still have my original one from 1986, massively expanded). I
just figure it will be easier to support him if he has an A500.
If he _had_ a PeeCee, I'd get him an Amiga emulator.
