	Amiga
		The original Amiga Inc.[?] company was bought out in 1984 by Commodore International, who marketed the Amiga as their intended successor to the Commodore 64.
		The last Amigas to be made were the A1200 and the A4000[?].
		The Amiga chipsets, OCS, ECS and AGA, were more advanced than other architectures of their time.

	The Classic Amiga.
		AmigaOS4 will run on classic Amiga hardware equipped with a PPC accelerator, so there's a bit of a grey area as to whether or not to call this a "Classic Amiga", but the hardware most certainly is.
		The entire computer was inside the keyboard in the style of the Commodore64 yet under the hood it was even more powerful than the Amiga 1000 since it had an enhanced chipset, yet sadly the same processor.
		Amiga responded with the AGA chipset found in the Amiga 4000.

	qdev.de - How to repair a keyboard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		On many old keyboards sooner or later you have the problem that the one or another key doesn't respond anymore.
		Most keyboards work after the following principle: Every key has a attached conductible contact made of rubber which shorteness a contact on the keyboard-mainboard when the key is pressed.
		Such keyboards suffer from a scuff of the conductive coating of the rubber or the main board.

		And because they were also seen as a serious computer, with a keyboard and mouse, parents were happy to get one because they were inexpensive, you could type reports on them, and they were very easy to use.
		Still I chose the Amiga over the Mac for several reasons- It had a color display, more memory, was expandable, had stereo audio, a built in voice synthesizer, and a cool OS with pre-emptive multitasking.
		And Amiga's were also used extensively for producing low budget special effects and appeared on television shows, like Babylon 5 and some Star Trek TNG episodes, but also in several motion pictures.

		Users who have modified their A1200s for external keyboards should note that this feature may not function on their modified hardware, and may even disable the keyboard until a reboot is performed.
		It provides an alternative to the relatively expensive Amiga keyboard; though it may not provide significant savings on the initial investment, keyboard replacements in the future will be much less expensive.
		I won't recommend it as an upgrade for a user who already has a working keyboard, but for those who need to replace their keyboard, or who are interested in the specialized varieties of AT keyboards, it is an excellent choice.

		The Amiga has always had this ability but for PC users it began when Windows 95 was released and is still being refined.

	Amiga Keyboard Garage (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		One of the nicest features of the original Amiga 1000 model (AmigaComputer) was the keyboard garage.
		By making the keyboard small enough to fit under the CPU box, and providing a place for it, the rather sizable (almost twice the footprint of the Apple Macintosh - see AppleMacintoshDesign) keyboard garage let it fit on a small work area without taking up any more room.
		Unfortunately, the keyboard garage was discarded in the 2000 and subsequent desktop and tower models, and irrelevant for the 500 series, in which the computer was built into the large keyboard.

		The good news is that all Amiga keyboards are compatible, so the keyboard from any other Amiga (except the 500 and 600 of course, they're built-in) should work.
		Amiga floppy drives are Amiga specific as well, so they can become a bit pricey to replace.
		If you look at the prices that Amiga's and ST/TT/Falcons are still selling for at online dealers, I'll be way ahead of anyone who purchased one of these classics from a dealer, having only spent about as much as they, but having a FULLY upgraded system for the same price approximately.

		This is one of those 'Ergonomic' keyboards with the left-hand side of the keyboard slightly offset (approximate 10 degree angle) from the right-hand side, and the numeric keypad is more 'sculpted' to fit the fingers in the 'ten-key form' of entry.
		I was looking for support of the additional 'Windows' keys(at the bottom of the 'alpha' keys at approximately the same position as the 'Amiga' keys on a standard C= keyboard).

		The Amiga 3000 did not remain popular because the famous Toaster board would not fit within the casing enclosure of the desktop Amiga 3000 until the arrival of the Amiga 3000T.
		The Amiga remained non-interoperable with other technologies, did not adopt retargetable APIs (device independent abstraction layer), and was non-competitive with emerging hardware technologies.
		Also, the Amiga keyboard is also incompatable with the IBM PC AT or clone as well.

	Vesalia Computer - Lyra PS/2 Keyboard Interface
		A special socket is placed over top of the keyboard-chip of the Amiga, and a cable makes connection to the backplane where the keyboard can be connected.
		A jumper on Lyra can do small changes to the keymap that brings the layout a little closer to a real Amiga keyboard: The ALT and Windows-keys are swapped, so the Amiga keys are located directly next to the space key.
		The layout of the numeric keypad will be a 100% copy of the Amiga keypad: This will only be useful for keyboards that have 18 keys on the numpad (most PC/Windows keyboards have 17 keys there).
