If I get serious about the Amiga, I'll prolly
invest in one of those in
the future; I *love* my IBM Model 'M' keyboards, it seems the Northgate
I love my model Ms as well. :) I have an A4000 set up right now, right to me, and looking at the keyboard there are
definitely some changes:
Function
keys are grouped F1-F5, F6-F10. No F11 or F12. There
is a DEL and HELP
button
where the normal 6-button cluster above the inverted T
arrow keys would
be.
Numeric keypad has NOT numlock, /, *, - but rather
"( ) / *". So I don't
know
if a regular keyboard will work but you can always
give it a try.

The Omnikey Ultra had some extra keycaps that were use to represent the new
keyboard mapping used on the Amiga. I have never seen or know anybody who
has seen the Amiga keys that were shown in the manual (special purchase)
that would complete the conversion.
BTW Jim, if you run the www.oldschool.org site I have to say thanks for
putting that together, the Tandy 1000 Shrine that links off that page is the
reason I own an expanded Tandy 1000HX now.
