Alex;
How about parts from some of the newer models that have gone for transplant, 
from HW.  You might find some inturnal parts that would be helpful.

Subject: [Braillenote] sorry...


To all of the List:

Sorry for writing the email about shrinking a BrailleNote.  It 
was just a question that carried too far, and I sincerely 
apologize if I offended anyone.  My point was not to say that the 
existing BN's are bad; on the contrary, I love my MPower and 
think it is the best device I have ever used, even preferable to 
my PC with Jaws.  I understand that people still use the built-in 
modem, but cards are available for that just as they are for 
wireless, and no one complains about there being no built-in 
wireless.  I was just taking out anything that is replaceable and 
takes up a lot of room.

As far as one-handed operation, the standard one-handed mode is a 
great idea and there is no reason why a smaller unit, whose keys 
would be about 1/2 or 3/4 inches wide and spaced about 1/2 
inches, or a bit less, apart, could not use it.

Again, I am sorry if I rubbed anyone the wrong way.  As far as 
"putting my money where my mouth is", I am looking online for 
sites from which I can buy raw parts--processor, keys, 
motherboard, USB/CF/SD readers for integration, WIFI/bluetooth 
chips...  Not much luck so far, but I'm trying.

Have a great day all,
Alex
