Shades of reinventing the wheel here - I already did the Linux keyboard layouts with sensible key code returns to Linux (IMHO). I'm about to bugger off home for the weekend but if someone gives me a nudge on Monday you're welcome the to files I have already (I spent AGES trying to come up with the best layout and it'd be a shame to see this go to waste!) By the way, if you want a good belly laugh, I'd highly recommend folks watch Jonathan Ross at 10:35pm, BBC1 tonight for an interview with Alan about The Apprentice and a quite "interesting" piece of Atmel AVR ATMega16 based electronics I threw together!

Sure. It's not like I haven't tried to get hold of the original source. ;) I think there are possible 2 different layout types that are going to make sense though: *) The keypad setup as a device, with the keys being used to invoke applications and so forth. I assume this is what the Amstrad layout is like and in the long term this is the right approach I feel. *) The keypad setup as a primary input device, with the aim of being able to use it for the console. Personally I'm doing most of my prodding over the serial port at present, but I get the impression this is what a number of people want? J. -- Barndoors. Barndoors. Barndoors. Profile. Profile.

WHAT IN THE HELL!!!!?!! ;) quality......
By the way, if you want a good belly laugh, I'd highly recommend folks watch Jonathan Ross at 10:35pm, BBC1 tonight for an interview with Alan about The Apprentice and a quite "interesting" piece of Atmel AVR ATMega16 based electronics I threw together!

Err...Beautiful! PS, why is the E3 used on The Apprentice? Unless you've hacked one up, it can't do digital switching/multiplexing, so its not very useful for office use, so Alan and his secretary use it??
