@mcbone

If the question is: Will a PS/2 to DIN adapter as (commonly used on PCs and Amiga work) to convert an A2000 keyboard to a CDTV, then the answer is no.

If you mean this:
http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=42&products_id=230

Then that's the "no". Also, linking to the product directly would have been a lot easier to understand

What you would need is a DIN and a mini-DIN connector, plus 4 wires and a soldering iron. Plus the pinout tables.

This weeks pet peeve:
Using "voltage" instead of "potential", which leads to inventing new words like "amperage" instead of "current" (I, measured in A) or possible "charge" (amperehours, Ah or Coulomb, C). Sometimes I don't even know what people mean.

@olegil

AmigaKit can probably make a suitable cable for him.
