I'm wondering why you're wiring up your L100's MB and >running them out through the IR window to run an external PS/2 mouse and >keyboard. Why no use the EPR? The problem with the EPR is that its got a lot of functionality that I won't use on a daily basis and its really too big to carry around in my backpack when I'm at uni ... as I got the libby second hand, I didn't get a docking bar with it so this was the next best alternative. I can carry a little mouse around quite easily and my next project is a serial to PS/2 converter using a 16F84 so I can use my Palm folding keyboard with my libby for when I need to take notes ... I chose to take the wires out the IR window because that reset hole that has been suggested is really too small for 6 wires (2 each for keyboard and mouse plus 5V plus ground), and if you take the top off the libby and forget the wires are there, you'll rip something off the motherboard (notice the reset hole is in the TOP half of the case whilst the IR window is in the BOTTOM half of the case). I'll post up a page explaining this once I get round to it (I'm coming up to university exams so this will be something that I'll get done between frantic bouts of revision ...) ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
