Keyboards:
   Datahand keyboard		     E15-368B	           testarne@media

         Works with any workstation that has PS/2 style PC keyboard
         (SGI, RS/6000, Dec Alpha, HP (with adapter), and of course, 
	 PC's running UNIX).  Acts like a keyboard/mouse.  Reports 
	 of obscene typing speeds.  Most sophisticated of keyboards.

   BAT (left & right) keyboard	     E15-368B	           testarne@media

	 Supposedly does the same thing as Datahand, but I've had problems.
	 Known working with Linux/x86 workstations.  Problems with some 
	 Pentiums/Windows combos, but is probably OK on anything you'd try.
	 Keyboard only.  45 wpm reported (believeable)

   Comfort keyboard		     E15-368B		   intille@media
   Twiddler			     E15-368B	           testarne@media

	Twiddler has Linux (best), Windows, Mac drivers, but basically
        works on anything with a serial port.  Linux driver should be 
	trivially compilable on Suns and easy on most other platforms.  
	What the wearables folks use.  Keyboard and mouse replacement, 
	but don't use the mouse if you suffer from rsi (my suggestion).  
	50+ wpm, though I haven't tested myself in a year so I don't 
	know what the + is.
