Yes, the speed is low enough, it doesn't use flow control.
But the keyboard needs an inialization signal before it starts sending
keystrokes to the PDA. I used a hardware flow control line from the newton
to give this signal to the keyboard. It's just a high-low-high state change
the first time you want to use the keyb or after five minutes of inactivity,
so I suppose that you could use the tx line from your pda to implement it.
