Converting Amiga keyboards to USB

Wouldn’t it be cool to use a big-box Amiga keyboard, such as one for the A3000 or even a CDTV keyboard, with a modern computer using USB? Maybe even use it with a next-generation Amiga, like a Pegasos II running AmigaOS 4.1 FE? Well, that’s exactly what I did, and it works great. In fact, I’ve currently plugged in a CDTV keyboard into my headless Synergy server’s USB port, along with a mouse, to share a single mouse and keyboard across multiple machines; namely, an Amiga 1000 and a couple of Pegasos II systems running AmigaOS 4.1 FE and MorphOS.

Headless Synergy setup using an OrangePiZero

If you’re like me and have a collection of retro machines that only support the Synergy client, not the server, and you don’t want to run a Synergy server on a bulky machine (or simply don’t have one nearby), then a headless Synergy server on a tiny SBC like the OrangePiZero or a Raspberry Pi is the perfect solution. It’s a slick setup that lets you share a single mouse and keyboard across all your machines with ease.
