Re: IR on a pismo

I'm going to kill 2 birds with one stone here... I get the same errors. And no, I actually don't have any IR devices to test out. Maybe I'll get a Visor soon, but right now all the IR port does is shoot at the wall... Marshal Michel Dänzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes

Hi everyone, I just updated console-data from testing, and I followed the instructions, but it foobared the keyboard. BUT, no worries, I was able to boot off a rescue disk and everything is fine now, except for one thing... I'm running a PowerBook Prismo, and I have a Japanese USB Apple Pro Keyb
