	I have also considered the possibility of using an IBM keyboard on
an Amiga.  Unfortunately, it seems that there is quite a difference in the
way the data is sent and acknowledged.  It might be possible to pull the
ROM on an IBM compatible keyboard and reprogram the keyboard ROM to emulate
an Amiga keyboard, but I have not been able to obtain enough data (i.e. I/O
addresses/timings/matrix layout) to make this feasible.  With enough data and
an appropriate cross-assembler, it should be possible.  Any helpers out there?
