Sorry to ask this but I'm not a Palm user. Who are the developers of this
keyboard? Maybe the first place to have a look is at their site.

Cheers,

Rob:

If your keyboard is from ThinkOutside (thinkoutside.com to check it
out), then it will work fine with any PPC. The keyboards for the Palm
as well as the PocketPC are identical in mechanism; the only
difference is the color of the keyboard as well as the logo.

Anyway, if it is this brand, then you can head over the website and
download the appropriate driver for your PPC. Works like a charm; I
use it every day.

That worked like a charm! Thanks. The keyboard is a palm branded version I
guess. Only problem is that the IR slot is on the bottom left instead of
rigth at the top of the device but that just saved me $100CAN.

Thanks again folks!

If it's a Palm Wireless keyboard, then it works just fine with Pocket PC.
I know because I am typing this post with a PWK on my HP 2215! Go to
www.thinkoutside.com and download the drivers for the Stowaway.
