Thanks for all the information that was given to me on ADB keyboards a
while ago. Now I have another one. Can I plug an ADB keyboard into the
ADB cable while the power is on? I know this is a no-no for disk
drives. My reason for wanting to do this is that I use the Dvorak
keyboard layout rather than the Shoales (or QWERTY), and it would be nice
to have a keyboard where the keycaps match what the keys actually do.
If I can plug in a keyboard with the power on (without damage) then I can
hook up "my" keyboard when I am using the computer, and the standard one
when I am done.
On a related note, is there some easy way to switch between Dvorak and
Shoales on a GS without getting into the control panel? Might there be a
NDA or something that would do the switch easily? We are currently using
IIc's in the office, which makes it really easy to change. All you do is
hit a switch on the case. I'm thinking that learning the whole control
panel procedure might be a bit frustrating for my staff.
