This is very easy to do. Buy a PS/2 end and a battery holder from Radio
Shack, or wherever, and connect the two together. I run my Twiddler off
of 4 AAs (it doesn't seem to care that it's getting 6V instead of 5V) -
lets me use it with my Pilot, etc. I get about 400 hours per set, maybe
(it's hard to tell, cause I don't use it more than about 5 hours/week).

I don't remember which pins power is on - 2 and 4, I think, but the web
site at HandyKey has all the information necessary.
