RE: [iPAQ] Twiddler2

If the twiddler you have plugs into a ps2 keyboard port it is not
rs232 serial nor is it ascii. PS2 keyboards use a synchronis (sp?)
transfer protocol and send keyboard scancodes which are nothing like
ascii. That is the purpose of the hardware to convery the twiddler to
the ipaq. The microcontroller does both sychronis conversion and
scancode lookup and conversion to the stowaway keycodes.
