I believe that the converter is the same as the type used on PC keyboards
(i.e. DIN -> micro DIN). I'm not 100% sure though (anyone know?).
BTW, I use an A3000 & an A2000 keyboard with my A4000 - depending on which one
I've spilt the least coffee / beer on recently :) If you really wanted to you
could adapt an A500 keyboard too.
