All I an tell you here is that acc to our japanese customers what they
type seems to be very easy to do on an English/USA keyboard.
I asked that as well as we sold a few multibooting
Japanese/English/Thai systems and essentially acc to them it wasnt
worth it getting a japanese keyboard. They seem to type more or less
the way it sounds with ABC letters and out pops japanese... So I was
told!
On the other hand I would PROBABLY be able to get you a normal PC keyboard
layout if that helps. Asuming Ms got it in one of their japanese
manuals.
if a MS keyboard file for Japanese helps, just let me know.
I happen to have those...
By the way there are 2 types of keyboards in Thailand. But I have
never seen one of them...
