I don't think this is particularly hard, the palm exposes a whole bunch of
APIs to help you add Ir protocols, and you already have Dag's excellent code
to start with. I'd be willing to help or do the lowlevel stuff, but writing
printer drivers with the restrictions on palm code that there are would be
a pain, anything other than text->Courier8 or Screendumps is going to be
hard work.
I don't agree that Linux PDAs will kill the palm, the palm won not because it
was flashy or had '000s of applications but because grafitti worked and because
it does a month between battery changes, this is why the CE machines have made
almost no inroads on the palm market which is mostly of not particulary computer
savy people. A linux PDA if it's going to run main stream code will suck power
fine if you brought your charger and your US->telefunken adaptor &tc. That's
what my libretto is for.
James.
