>From a purist's point of view,  the end key should probably not read the 
rightmost word on a line.  the logic to be used for cursor movements that 
do not generate printable chars is roughly the following:

if 
  no_vertical movement & no_vertical scroll
then
  if horizontal_movement > 1
then
  read word starting at cursor;
else -- horizontal movement is of only one place
  read char at cursor;
endif
else -- there is vertical displacement
  do_other_stuff
endif; 

According to this logic,  as the end-key moves the cursor beyond the 
rightomost word on a line,  K1K should announce the word 'blank', or 
'space' or 'endline' or something like it.
The problem of reading the rightmost word on the line is that this 
misleads the user into believing that the cursor is actually at the 
beginning of this word,  which in most cases it is not.
I have used very slight variants of this logic in the designs of the IBM 
Screen Reader for Dos,  for OS/2, and more recently for similar 
functionality in Home Page Reader.

Well they're supposed to provide faster transfers on USB 2 equipped PCs.
I've no idea, how well they work on the PTR1. I'd also like to know that.

Are these PC-card adapters? I've never seen A PC card adapter for more
than one card type.
