I guess the next things to try are an ordinary USB keyboard, and the Alphasmart with a powered hub. The Alphasmart Neo has its own power supply -- you can use it to write an entire novel on one set of AAA batteries without ever connecting to a computer (so I can't imagine it drains much power form anywhere), but I suppose I can't rule out that it might take power from the USB as part of a signalling convention to determine that it's talking to a host. > >> Does that driver have to be installed specially? > > No, nothing needs to be installed in Chinook and Diablo, it just > "works". Too bad. If something did need to be installed, I could install it. > >> -- hendrik > > _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list > maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx > https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
