Hello all! I'm new at this, and having read all the archive articles I could find, I am somewhat more informed and confused at the same time. Would you pls kindly answer the following questions so we can all have a definite up to date information: 1- Current latest state of play regarding interfacing PALM and also POCKET PC keyboards to a windows pc ( serial, ps/2, whatever); hardware wiring and drivers availability etc. Would these solutions work for any and all keyboards or specific ones only? And do you miss any functionality as compared to a normal pc keyboard when going this route, ie any keystrokes that are impossible etc? Closest thing I could find was this: http://www.tapspring.com/omniPPK.htm 2- Ability to use the IR kbs for PDAs ( http://www.pocketop.net/ ) with a pc equipped with an IRDA port? Is there a driver available? The manufactures sent me a one line email back saying " we dont do that!" Would have thought its a very simple thing for them to do, and just provide the drivers. 3- If you pull out the keyboard from a laptop or palmtop, is it easy and straightforward to wire the matrix to the circuitry from a normal ps/2 keyboard, or a logitech wireless transmitter? IE are the wires in the flex cables standardised? The smallest wireless keyboard i found was the gyration one, which looked good. If only it had a pointer stick thingy in the middle of the keys it would be almost there. 4- What do you use instead of a mouse? And finally: Check out the last item: http://www.bluelogic.co.kr/english/keyboard.htm Sounds ideal, if we can get the drivers etc, ARGHHHH!!! Thanks for your time and info!
