For those of you interested in handicapped hardware for your //e you might
want to contact Skyline Elementary in Tacoma Washington (the Occupational
Therapy wing (it may actually be called the exceptional wing)) and ask for
Voski Sprague.  This school uses what is called an adaptive firmware card
which basically runs via NMI's it works with a large variety of software and
can be connected to nearly anything.  Currently there are available a large
oversized keyboard that works via touch pad cells and can be programmed 
for any layout. It works with any binary operator such as a variety of
large switches and a "sip and puff"  it is a truly amazing bit of hardware.
All its internal programming is battery backed up RAM which means that the 
hardware is updated by downloading a disk into it and it will stay there until
you pull the batteries off of it.  

Anyway 'nuff said write me mail if you don't want to call and I'll try to get
information for you myself.
