Is there a PS/2 Keyboard adaptor available for the X50v? or is it posible to build one?

The reason I would like one is so that I can plug a barcode scanner in. This would allow stocktakes and other jobs like that much easier

You can get software that scan barecode fromthe IR of the Axim. I remember seeing this but can't find it right now. If I find it I will post again unless you get the answer from the Internet.

Lol...yeah, and I have software to make the CF cards automatically eject from my x50v. I've seen some bluetooth scanners out on the web before, but they were kinda pricey.

for a barcode scanner you should probably look at the symbol site... I bet they have some rather expensive CF or SD barcode scanners and maybe even a Bluetooth one.

You can theoretically hack and connect a serial device to the bottom of the X50 but I dont know anyone who has attempted nor done that sucessfullly.

Get one of these x50 serial cables: http://www.gomadic.com/dell-axim-x50...ata-cable.html and tell us how it works out
