Not sure if it would be possible on a plain A1200. But it should be
possible with the Vampire, right?

Memory protection works on all hardware with MMU that MiNT currently
runs on, with the exception of the Firebee. And that's exactly why I
never use my Firebee anymore, but my considerably less powerful
Falcon/AB and Milan.

All you need is a TTL<->RS232 interface, which I already have. So if you
want to support IKBD devices on the serial port in EmuTOS I can test it
any time :)

Would be very useful for other targets than the Amiga too, like ARAnyM.
Then you could easily use real keyboards on ARAnyM on a dedicated RPi 3
if you like these sort of things.

If you send me an image of your CF-card I can add some eyecandy to it,
no problem. It should work on my Falcon/AB right out of the box, I only
need to add the ATI Rage driver.
