The Twiddler1 is purely serial, with power via the keyboard port. You'd
need to write a driver (or port the existing linux driver) which is fairly
simple.

The Twiddler2 is PS/2 based, but is converted to serial for the palm
pilots via the "happy hacker" cradle, which does a basic PS/2 to
serial conversion. You could probably open up the insides of the cradle
and make a PS/2 to serial cable from that.

I intend to do this when I get my twiddler2 (they ship in December).
