Hi Howard, (01)
My friend helped me build the adapter cable last weekend, and I was able
to get the keyset connecting successfully to a PC. (02)
I also finished writing a driver for the keyset, including the event api
(it's very similar to java.awt.event.KeyListener). The driver is now
loaded into the AugTerm code you wrote, so I can use the chord keyset to
interact with the Augment backend. (03)
The code is checked into the subversion repository if you want to take a
look. (04)
Also, if you're interested, I think it would be great to get together
for lunch and I can show you the chord keyset. (05)
