RE: Ok, palm keyboard, last time

Thanks.  Not the answer I was hoping for, but thank you.  Alright, forget this.  I can't believe that no other companies manufacture
foldable keyboards for PC's.  Maybe L3 would get into this if asked.  How many would be interested in a foldable pc keyboard that
would connect to a standard ps/2 or AT port?

You definitely need a driver.  The keyboard doesn't send ASCII, but
just raw key up/down codes.  I know of a Linux driver or two, but
not a Windows one offhand.

Additionally, the keyboard has an annoying behavior of needing to be
reset before use, by twiddling one of the handshaking pins after
power is applied.  The driver needs to do this.
