Re: [iPAQ] Stowaway keyboard with dual sleeve

derrell

not sure how much luch you'll have here.
i pursued the same a few weeks back. in
brief, i was unable to find a commercial
'extension cable' [that's how i thought
of it] to attach the ipaq && keyboard.

my second effort was to purchase
connectors && wire them up. these
connectors, however, are a bit expensive
for me [even if i could use some thousands
of them], so that avenue too was blocked.

afaik, you have to cobble together your
own connector/wire. let me know if you
have any luck here. i decided to wait
for a bit and give it a second attempt
later.
