The Design
Two Mac ADB keyboards cabled together in a daisy chain
Keyboards mounted on inverted "V" built of aluminum sheets
(covers for boxes from electrical store, riveted together)
Keyboards attached to aluminum by Velcro
Mouse rests in middle on platform of aluminum
Then mouse and keyboards all sit on small telephone stand
(from furniture store)
Background
Bob Horn's Inverted V double keyboard has been tested under Mac OS 6.5 and 6.8 .
However note: Bob stood up at one of Dr Robert Markison's
talks and described his setup. But after the talk, the Apple manager in
charge of I/O systems approached Bob to tell him that the software
should not allow keyboards to be chained together in this
way. So, beware Apple may have "fixed" it for 7.x and 8.x ...
And since we are talking about consciousness raising, it
is also worth noting that Bob sent a copy of the plans
for his kbd to a well known computer journalist after she did an
article on carpal tunnel, but she did not ever do a
follow up article with Bob's design. So, whatsamatter her?
Gloom, doom, and You are all crippled is newsworthy, but
someone taking his hands into his own hands and fixing
the situation is not?
