Actually, the keyboard thing is something I've been meaning to try out for a while ... the Palm/Stowaway keyboards are just serial connections ... I *THINK* they could just be rigged into the serial port (and powered somehow) and, if they're nice they'll just be sending ASCII codes through serial. If not, I'd imagine it'd be a relatively trivial task of rigging up a PIC 16F84 to translate (especially since they use so little power you can power them off the DTR line of your average serial port). I do wonder if you could directly tap the serial line on the docking connector though ... the line driver might well be in the docking bar itself given I can only see the E232C line mentioned (although I haven't looked *TOO* closely). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
