	Actually, no, you can't use the Ergonomic keyboard ("the new 
fancy ones that split up").  In other words, you can, but it won't work 
very well or at all.. From what I remember, on ROM 1 it buffers up a bunch of
characters and spits them all out at once (unpleasant), and on ROM 3 it doesn't
work at all... Even on ROM 1 it had some other problems...  Someone was being
a complete retard and didn't do testing on all machines that do ADB.  I keep
forgetting to report this though.. I got a name out of someone when some
other ADB problems (on Macs, at least) were being discussed locally.. like
typing "top" fast was locking up their keyboard until they typed something
else...
