I need a driver for a Fellowes type n go keyboard
model 98084.
Fellowes does have a driver site, but I've never
found ANY of my garage sale devices listed.
This is no exception.

Google searches get zillions of hits, but all roads
lead to a page where your only option is to
download "driver detective".
First, I'm NOT loading that thing on my machine.
and "B", searching my desktop ain't gonna do nothing
to identify a driver for a Palm PDA.

Driverguide used to be a place for free drivers, but
they've been commercializing the site to the point
where you can't get anything without a paid subscription.
Yes, they have a limited free option, they just won't
send me the email they require me to respond to...Grrrrr!!

So, where do we go for free hardware drivers these days?

I had the same lousy experience.
I'd picked up a used Lexmark printer in excellent condition and
stored it. A lady was putting it out on the sidewalk and I took
it away. I recently gave it to my son. I went to Lexmark's web
site and found, to my horror, that they'd become too stingy to
allow people to download drivers (this service appears to be
provided for Lexmark by a third party). Lexmark is happy,
however, to sell ink cartridges for the machine.

Well, I forgot: turns out that I'd already downloaded all the
support files a year ago. Bottom line: hell will freeze before I
ever buy a Lexmark product.

I guess my mention that it was for a Palm PDA was too subtle.
It's for a Palm m500 series PDA. It DOES require a driver.
It does nothing, nada, zero, zip without a driver.

Ok, three more times...

This is a keyboard for a Palm m500 PDA.
This is a keyboard for a Palm m500 PDA.
This is a keyboard for a Palm m500 PDA.

Here's a picture:
http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Fellowes%2098084:1990892375#

THERE IS NO, ZERO, NONE, NOT ANY USB PORT INVOLVED.
This is NOT a laptop, desktop, server or any other kind
of PC keyboard. It's a PDA keyboard specifically designed
to interface thru the proprietary serial connection on the
bottom of a PDA, handheld device. The driver is a .prc file for
PalmOS.
