Pocketop and 2003! When?

smeg36 · 08-11-03, 12:28 AM

I have a Pocketop keyboard, and I have read that it isn't compatable with 2003. Anyone know when it will be? That isn't cool at all!

There hasn't been any word from them about updated drivers...

...but just to clarify, the driver itself for the keyboard works but doesn't appear to be "tuned" for 2003... it will only operate within a 4 inch distance... not long enough to operate properly in portrait mode...just landscape. However the display rotational software for landscape mode, NYDITOT is indeed flat-out broken under 2003.

i installed pocketop keyboard driver for 2002 onto 2003 and it works just fine either in portrait or landscape mode.

Is the display actually rotated to landscape? If so, you are the first to get it to work on any PPC 2003 device.

I installed the latest 2002 drivers on my basic WM2003 and nothing worked. When I try to switch to the Pocketop keyboard I get a message that the COM port could not be found, so I guess there is something broken in the IR driver. I emailed pocketop and they said that 2002 drivers SHOULD work, but also that they are working on the 2003 drivers now. No ETA was given.

Thanks for the info guys. I don't really use my Pocketop that much, so it shouldn't be that big a problem that it doesn't work with 2003 yet.

try removing it and doing a soft reset before installing it. I got it to work on my wife's a04.

I spoke with tech support at Micro Innovations today and was told that the PPC 2003 driver is expected within the next two weeks.

Well, that turned out to be a bogus piece of advice from Micro Innovations. A subsequent call resulted in total denial that there is any forthcoming driver for PPC2003.

I went with Nyditot Virtual Display.
