I know that there is generic keyboard recognition software written for
the Palm OS in order it to know when a Newton keyboard is attached, but
is this really necessary for the Newton? The Newton keyboard wasn't
released after the original couple of versions of the MessagePad, and it
just plugs and plays. Is keyboard support in a MessagePad relying on code
embedded in a certain version of the Newt OS?

Can anyone on the list recall the name of this person? Any additional
information will be useful. We _are_ going to get this puppy to work...
