Hey Duoistas,

	I haven't tried it yet but am going to do it real soon.  I recently 
heard of an extension that allows one to use the excellent little 
newton keyboard with a mac via the serial port.  May be a good way to 
put off servicing the duo keyboard or hoping to come up with the fairly 
decent "f" version of the keyboard.

There's also some great info on cleaning the keyboard around on this 
fine site:

Enjoy that 280c, it's my favorite duo with enough ram and 680x0 native 
software , it's often faster than the 2300 with ppc native software.

good luck,


Randy
