That's a rather broad question.  What are you trying to do?  What
requirements do you have that *aren't* met by the stock Belkin driver
or Igor Nesterov's replacement?

I use an OS5 device (a Tapwave Zodiac 2) with an external keyboard (a
Palm branded folding keyboard based on the Think Outside design.)  The
Palm driver isn't stellar, but is adequate.  (I got it mostly for use
in WordSmith, and there are a few keys that are documented in
Wordsmith but just don't seem to work, which I think is a driver
issue.  It seems to work quite well in pEdit.)

Tell us a bit more about what you need to accomplish, and we can
pro0bably provide better advice.
