and the second one, which looks more like a normal keyboard (with the

The "Chicklet" style keyboard (my friend had a PCjr with one) are very
rare, as IBM quickly realized its mistake in actually making that type of
keyboard (and was one of the worse keyboards (for touch typists) ever made
by IBM) and came out with the new style keyboards.

When I first broached the idea of making my
palmtop talk to a PC JR keyboard,
someone on this list mentioned they knew where to find the keyboard codes the
Peanut keyboard generates. Since I've had no luck finding this data in web
searches, could that someone please let me know where to find this info?
Jim,
What are you referring to as a 'peanut' keyboard? The only PC Jr. keyboard
I've seen in use, and I have one here though no PC Jr., is the one that has
the two IR leds on the rear, an RJ-11 type jack, and a space for 4 'AA'
batteries. How many different keyboard types were there for the Jr.?
