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

>The keyboard works perfectly in the regular US keyboard layout, but

>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

	Have you tried an adb keyboard?  If it works, then the 479-8081
keyboard from the IIGS is a beaut, and probably smaller that the HH, or
certainly no larger.
