I'm working with one, trying to get it to work with a palmtop; Having NO luck so far, as the info I have is all about a different model of the Newton Keyboard, supposedly. There are NO wires in the one I have, connected to the pins I'm told to use for the 80x86 driver I have... If anyone can discuss with me, how which wires on which model of the keyboard work, I'd love the help, and then could help others to get the same keyboard on a serial port as a keyboard input device - have a TSR for 80x86en that should be adaptable, if I can get the keyboard to talk to an RS-232 port acceptably. Another possibility is the HP Jornada keyboards - those are low power, and reasonable size-wise; I'll have a source for those, with driver, for RS-232 operation in not too long. I'm making connectors for these <G> Mark Micheal Kelly wrote: > > Hi all, > > Has anyone here successfully interfaced an Apple Newton keyboard with their > wearable?
