That makes sense. I do not know enough about the architecture of MESS to know how easy it would be to create a new input device for it, assuming it even knows about anything other than USB or PS/2 style devices.

==================================
I know even less than you, but you don't have to worry about MESS, the OS (Linux) handles the keyboard translation, right? I mean you would just need an input device driver that would work with Linux. Once Linux recognized the keyboard MESS would automatically. Similar to OS-9. At least I believe that's the concept. I couldn't implement it if my life depended on it! But then all I ever did was a little DECB programming...
