Can I use an A500 keyboard with a CD32?
You just need a cable to use an A500 keyboard with the CD32, . If
you wire a 5pin DIN plug then you can use it on an A2000 or A3000,
and add a standard AT to PS/2 adapter for the CD32 or A4000.
The only disadvantage is the CD32 keyboard reset won't work, but
this doesn't matter because you have a reset button on your
console.
The wiring connections required are:
