Kyocera 6035 question

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Does the Kyocera 6035 use a standard Palm interface -- or is it
proprietary?

I'm wondering if I could use a standard (III, V or Universal i/f) Palm
Portable keyboard with it.

I've looked all over to find the answer for this and haven't had much
luck.

Thanks. I've seen the "Kyocera" Stowaways and see that the 6035 needs a
cable to connect to them. I'm curious if the keyboard they are
connecting to has a standard Palm "connector" and whether that cable is
available separately.

Probably not and probably not.

Thanks for the response, BTW.
