I can helping you wih at/ps-2 protocol.. but I lost in a hard disk fucked devastation all my project: "keyboard encoder with PICmcu".

I have all information that you can need well.. only some obscure points about keyb responses.. nothing impontant..

some tool can remote control Palm from PC ..
and keyin data to Palm

but if you want to use PS/2 keyboard connectot to
Palm .. I think it have problem on interface
Palm only IrDA & RS232

google find protocol
panda.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~achapwes/PICmicro/PS2/ps2.htm

and some PPC PDA have USB host (acer N20 ??)
can access USB keyboard/HD from PPC PDA

but Palm is USB client not host

Hello Alek66..
I can tell you how to control your Palm with PS/2

you can connect the Keyboard (PS/2) to the micro controller (AVR)
and very simply you can get the charecters from the Keyboard and resend it
to your palm using RS232 then you can program it to receive these chars and
do what you want ....

the attached program is written in Bascom AVR to get the keyboard characters
and send it in RS232 ....

here is the program

You can translate PS/2 to RS232 protocol, just two lines, Tx & Rx!
