From the project
STM32 Usb Based firmware microcontroller for any Amiga internal keyboard adapter
STm32-to-Amiga-Local-Keyboard adaptER =====================================
The STALKER adapter board enables connecting USB HID keyboards to your Amiga 1000, Amiga 2000/3000, Amiga 4000/CD32, Amiga 500, Amiga 1200 and Amiga 600 and it is based upon 32-bit STM32 microcontroller.
The STALKER provides built-in USB stack which enables USB HID keyboards support without the need for installing additional AmigaOS software drivers. The whole installation process comes down to simply connecting a STALKER adapter and plug to the keyboard port of your Amiga 1000, 2000 or 4000 externally, or…
