Thanks for the info.
I just wanted to affirm that the $6.00 USB adapter I purchased in fact works fine. As an experiment, I unrolled my old rubber USB keyboard, plugged it into the adapter, and typed away in xterm without a problem. (This successful use of a USB keyboard has recently been reported in another thread on this forum -- which I hadn't seen until I'd already successfully tried my own keyboard.) Now if only we could figure out how to get a digital audio feed through the N800 USB port using this device.
