Under linux, yeah. The only odd behavior is that
every now and then I'll hit a
key and nothing happens, but that may be the keyboard, I dunno (and yes,
it's a Model M).
Funny you mention that. I'm using an older keyboard, AT-style,
running the AT to a dumb PS/2 converter, then to a mouse-and-keyboard
PS/2 to USB converter of today's $5 variety. Mine does the same thing
now and then. It seems to eat four-five chars or just stop sending
once or twice a day when I'm moving fast. Maybe it's due to weak
handling of rollover. This is under WinXP.
