that sounds worse than my experience. i have maybe 5-6 keyboards
and they all work with the pi. i wonder if this isn't due to some
small descriptor handling changes in 9atom. you can try them out
by copying the source from 9atom.org
cd
hget http://ftp.9atom.org/other/usbd.arm > usbd.test
bind usbd.test /arm/bin/usb/usbd
cd /sys/src/9/bcm
mk clean; mk;
diskparts; mount /dev/sdM0/dos /n/9fat # from memory. no pi here.
cp 9pi /n/9fat # from memory. no pi here.
you can make this safer by duplicating the pi sd card first, then
replacing the kernel. or, naming the kernel something else on
the sd card and editing CONFIG.TXT to match. then you
can fix with any old machine.
