Hi guys,
difference. The Colt was Commodore's XT-clone so
no, the
keyboard/mouse from the Colt will not work with the 2500.
Keyboards
If the Colt is identical to that sold in Australia, then the mouse from
it will work with an Amiga. CBM designed the Colt with an unusual
connector (PC wise) that was identical to the Amiga's. We used to sell
the Commodore PC mouse to Amiga customers as a replacement, it was
around $15 cheaper than the Amiga one. I actually ended up using one
myself when my A1000's mouse went berko & died.
Keyboard adapters (PC > A2000) where fairly common once, the hard ones
to fnd are the PC > A1000, although I have a few of these.
Cheers,
Lance

The difference between an A1000 and an A2000 keyboard is one of
the physical connector (DIN-5 vs RJ-11). A pinswabber is trivial
to make compared to a PC<->Amiga protocol converter.
Somewhere here, I have an A2000<->A1000 adapter. I think I paid $10
for it at a show. Given how it's made, that was too much.
