Replacement floppy and keyboard

I have just bought a PB3400c and I've been told the keyboard doesn't work. Can anyone tell me where I can get a replacement somewhere in europe?

I would also like a floppy drive for it. Are these easy to get hold of?

I don't know anything about finding what you need in Europe, but generally: The keyboards, floppy modules, and trackpads from PB 190, PB 5300, PB 3400, and PB 3500 (original PowerBook G3 AKA Kanga) are all interchangeable. Here in the states, PB 190's are dirt cheap. You can easily find a complete PB 190 for less than the price usually asked for a PB 3400 keyboard, for example.

In Europe(Germany) PB 190 are not dirt cheap-but you may try an external ADB-keyboard first. I've got a PB 1400 with only the keyboard-connector loose,works again.
For the repair-manual you may look at whoopis.com

The seller is including an ADB keyboard, so I will be able to use it straight away.

Thanks for the link.
