[DuoList] 2400 w/USB Keyboard-dvorak layout problem

[Susanna]

Hi,

I recently got an external keyboard for my cardbus-enabled 2400 (OS 
8.6; using a Macally USB adapter)  It's a "Happy Hacking Lite 2" 
keyboard, which I had chosen because I needed it to fit into a small 
space; this keyboard doesn't have a number pad and is very compact.

The keyboard works perfectly in the regular US keyboard layout, but 
when I choose Dvorak in the keyboard layout  control panel, the 
keyboard doesn't type in dvorak.  The Keycaps Desk Accessory shows 
that the layout is dvorak and the 2400's own keyboard types in 
dvorak, but the external keyboard continues to type in the US layout. 
I tried adding some alternative dvorak layouts to the system, just to 
see if any of them might happen to work -- but none of them will 
budge this keyboard from the US layout.)

  I tried connecting the Happy Hacking keyboard to my imac (also OS 
8.6), and with the imac the keyboard _does_ type in the dvorak 
layout.  What might be the reason why it won't type in dvorak when 
hooked to my 2400 via USB adapter? Any idea how it might be made to 
work?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
