I saw an article about the StowAway folding keyboard in a magazine today. They make a variety of models but all are for PDA's. Too bad they don't make one for a PS2 connector.
anyone know how hard it would be to convert a Palm docking connection into a PS2 connection?

I had the same idea for the ePods :)
I was told it would be difficult to do, but there we only had USB for a KB.

However, we now have a usable serial port.
If any of the PDAs have serial HotSync ports, we may be able to wire an adapter for the serial port.

I don't know anything about the signaling of the kb or how it works though, so this is just hypothesizing.

This is backwards from what you asked, But I thought it might be Incouraging to see it.

Gives you the power to type directly to your Palm organizer with any PS/2 keyboard.

Also, some pretty cool stuff. All this "stuff" is not inexpensive, though.
