<h2>The version I use</h2> <h2>The version I use</h2>
<p>I have the <a href="https://www.eiffel-uno.com" target="_blank">Eiffel 3 for Mega ST, Mega STE and TT</a>, bought directly from Olivier Gossuin in 2021 for 18 EUR. This version connects to the keyboard port (RJ12) of an Atari Mega ST(E) or TT, and includes two joystick ports alongside the PS/2 keyboard and mouse. It's plug and play, comes pre-programmed with the latest firmware, and needs no drivers. It connects via an RJ12 (6P6C) straight cable, and works with a native PS/2 keyboard and mouse or certain PS/2-compatible USB devices via a USB-to-PS/2 adapter.</p> <p>I have the <a href="https://www.eiffel-uno.com" target="_blank">Eiffel 3 for Mega ST, Mega STE and TT</a>, bought directly from Olivier Gossuin in 2021 for 18 EUR.

<h2>Why use it</h2> <h2>Why use it</h2>
<p>Original Atari keyboards are getting rare and expensive. The Eiffel is a cheap, modern alternative that brings a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse to the machine, along with the two joystick ports the original keyboard had. It also gives a much better typing feel: I use a Cherry PS/2 keyboard, which is far more pleasant to type on than the original, and a Logitech PS/2 mouse that tracks noticeably better than the original Atari STM1 mouse. It makes the workstation far more practical to use day to day. The older Eiffel versions were originally built and sold by Lyndon Amsdon, with the design documented on the <a href="https://hardware.atari.org/eiffel/index.htm" target="_blank">Atari Hardware Guide</a>, and the project history is covered in the <a href="https://wiki.newtosworld.de/index.php?title=Eiffel_Interface" target="_blank">Atari Wiki</a>.</p> <p>Original Atari keyboards are getting rare and expensive.
