Hey! I've been looking for a foldaway keyboard for my e-200,i didn't care if it was "wired" or "wireless". i bought the jk-744cv (20 pin/USB adapter) as the casio accessories catalog suggested i did for use with the keyboard. i ordered one from provantage, and another from cassio direct with the keyboard. (after waiting for about 3 months, i forgot about the jk-744cv i had ordered from provantage), next thing i know, i get two adapters and no keyboard. then i get a letter from casio informing me that my credit card didn't go through, (i've been using my card fine, these guys can't even figure out how to enter a cc into the keypad, i also had another adventure with the backlight problem with my device, this is my third e-200 i received from them, with a surprise, i opened the mmc slot and the door shot out, everything else workes fine, in order to avoid any more delays and stress, i kept it and fixed it myself with superglue, the whole deal took about 4 months, but that's another story). so i went to the radio shack and bought a micro innovations wireless ir keyboard. It does claim "universal compatibility", i did ask the guy if i could return it if it didn't work, he said fine. I tried all the drivers on the enclosed cd, jornada, ipaq, even the palm, none of them worked. I was about to go and return the thing, and as a last resort, i went to their website: www.mi-products.com there i found a TOSHIBA driver, i tried it and it works! The only buggs i've found so far is placement, you have to rotate the screen to reverse, in normal, you have to place the keyboard, about 10 inches away, and if you turn off your device, next time you turn it on, in order to start typing, you first have to switch to a different imput method, like transcriber, then switch back to pocketop keyboard, and the "apps" and the "menu" buttons on the keyboard don't work, they return and "application not found" error. If you can live with these buggs, i advise you to get it. hope this helps. FYI: i posted this message from my e-200 using the keyboard.
