You need an Amiga keyboard, or an adapter box for the keyboard. The
mouse should be the same as used on the C128, c64?
Sorry, they look similar, but the 8 bit Commodores used a 1350 mouse,
and the Amiga is a 1351. AFAIK, they are NOT interchangeable.

Hi. I'm looking at an Amiga 2500, with a
5M hard drive, unknown ram,
a lot of boards in it (the owner knows as little about it as I do), and
no keyboard, mouse, or display. He wants $30 for it. He has a display
from a Commodore Colt hooked up to the composite video port, and the
2500 will boot to a screen with hand holding a WorkBench 1.3 floppy shown.
Are keyboards as hard to find as it seems? That's the showstopper so
far. Is $30 reasonable for a partially tested A2500? Will the
kbd/mouse from the Colt work?
Aquiring minds want to know. :)
