On the Apple //e, there is simply a solder pad that needs to be shorted
together to get the DVORAK key arrangement. ON the IIgs, the DVORAK may be
selected from the control panel. If anyone wants details on the //e,
e-mail me and I'll send you the info.

Is it really that hard to learn Dvorak? Does anyone know of a
program that would teach Dvorak (a la Typing Tutor)? I would like to learn,
as I have heard of people typing at speeds of 90wpm (?) using Dvorak?????

After a month I was the same as QWERTY, but now I'd guess I'm at about 80 wpm. I've never timed myself, so I don't really know, but I am much faste on Dvorak. If you have an Apple IIgs or //c you can easily switch to Dvorak by a (soft)switch. The IIe requires a hardware mod someone just mentioned a couple of days ago. So, any typing tutor will work since they only know what key is coming over the bus; you just have to change the keyboard map. Changing keyboards is not that hard, but I can no longer type QWERTY on _my_ keyboard. On my Sun, I type with a QWERTY with no real hang-ups. I have also written a Basic program with an short assembly getkey routine that helped me learn; if you want it I'll send it to you. It's not anything fancy, it just helps you learn the keys.

Dvorak, or more usually ASK (differs from Dvorak primarily in that the digits are arranged in order in ASK), is used by the fastest typists, such as the ones who set world records (I think the current record was set using an Apple //c). The state of Oregon requires that office workers be allowed to choose whether their equipment will be QWERTY or ASK. The Dvorak alphabetic arrangement is no harder to learn than the QWERTY arrangement, but instructional materials are hard to find. I think there is a Dvorak users group; you may hear further from a member.

Just set your keyboard to DVORAK (if you have a GS or //c) and put the DVORAK keyboard layout in front of you and try typing. It only takes less than an hour to -start- to get the hang of it. A person that hasn't already learned the QWERTY layout and had it burned in their brain (like myself) would not be as well of as someone who hasn't learned the QWERTY layout. Just pick up any typing game (like TypeMaster) and type away.

I started to learn how to type on a DVORAK and since I had already learned on a QWERTY keyboard, I kept making mistakes by typing QWERTY keys instead of DVORAK keys. When I'd go to a QWERTY keyboard, I made the opposite mistake. I would suggest sticking with one or the other. DVORAK is faster, but QWERTY is everywhere. If you learn DVORAK then go use a QWERTY, you'll probably go reeaalll sssllloooowwwww and make many mistakes. You have to decide whether or not it's worth the extra speed advantage. >-------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Lyle H.

I've been working with it for about three weeks now and I'm up to about 35 wpm. I'm using Mavis Beacon GS. The only real problem is that the program maps the keys over to the Dvorak layout in _software_, so you have to have the control panel set to the U.S. layout. In general, I like the layout. It makes a lot more sense than the Sholes arrangement. You can tell _immediately_ that your fingers aren't doing as much travelling around. Ray

Where do you get a Dvorak keyboard layout? Do you just put it over your
keyboard? Isn't that kind of clumsy? Is it better to just buy a Dvorak
keyboard, or don't they make those for ADB (I didn't say Apple IIGS,
because I'm sure the manufacturers don't even know they can be used with a
GS. "What? The Apple IIGS can use ADB products? Yah, but you need to make
a modification to the computer, and that voids your warranty, and makes all
your other perihperals incompatible.")? Also, can you have two keyboards, a
QWERTY and a Dvorak, attached to each other along the ADB line?
By the way, did that obnoxious computer guy, John Dvorak, create the
Dvorak keyboard?

I type dvorak, and have encountered sevral problems not (due to society, no the Dvorak arrangement.) One problem is that it's different keyboards have slightly different locations for for some keys. On my IIc, I just use the switch on the keybord. On my mac startup disk, I took the KCHR resource from a Dvorak FKEY and edited it to be the same layout as the IIc. (I suspect the IIc's layout is slightly wrong.) On the DECstation at school, I had to unearch xmodmap. The big problem is at work I use sevral machines used by other people and switching from sholes to dvorak is not transparant enough. Ah, well, without computers I wouldn't get to type Dvorak at all.

In-Reply-To: message from andy@pro-palmtree.cts.com I would assume that you would only have to buy a cover for the keyboard (maybe similar to those protective skins) to use the DVORAK keyboard layout. If you were really serious, you could pop the keys off and put them in the right layout (probably voiding your warranty). And yes, you can connect two keyboards (or any ADB devices) in the ADB line. I think there's a limit though because of power consumption. I have a friend that bought a Mac keyboard for his GS (I don't see what's wrong with the GS'?) and chains them together. It's quite convenient if 2 people use the computer at the same time. You can also connect two mice at the same time! Speaking of ADB.... does anybody know where you can buy ADB connectors (not cables)? I found that Super VHS connectors are the same as ADB, but It's hard to get a hold of those, too. _________________ / Steve \__________________________________________________________ | | | 1.

I am not positive of the following, but I am pretty sure that you CAN have two ADB keyboards connected to the same GS. However, they are electronically considered to be the SAME keyboard.

This means that only one mouse is capable of being attached without some sort of custom-built "Y" connector in the daisy chain. This can be done on a Mac, since it has the two ADB ports.

To put your keyboard in Dvorak, just pop out the keys & replace 'em. Assuming of course that you have set the hard/soft switch to make the keyboard bus return Dvorak keys. Anyway, I would also have to argue against this, as some others have. One of the main reasons for my learning Dvorak was to get out of my bad habits of looking at the keyboard. This alone has increased my typing speed. Anyway, you may connect another keyboard to the ADB. There are 3 predefined devices for the ADB; a keyboard, a mouse, and a graphics tablet. Each device gets its own address, so in the case of a collision (in my case two mice) the last one polled gets another address. There are 16 addresses, but 5 are reserved, one is preset for each of the three types of devices, and the rest may be allocated to any type of device. So the max is 11 devices but you can only have 9 keyboards, or 9 mice, etc. Doesn't there exist an ADB modem for the mac? Also, it is possible to connect more than one mouse to the ADB because 3rd party vendors have 2 ADB ports on their products. I don't think that a Y-connector is 'legal'. It would work until a collision occured & then the bus would probably get confused. But with only 3 devices this should not be a problem.

I did try it on a Mac SE (I think the only one of two macs that have 2 ADB ports) and the reason I did it _was_ to confuse my friend. It's pretty funny. Could you make a Y adapter for the ADB port (just connecting 2 female to 1 male directly)? or do you need special circuitry like an isolator? _________________ / Steve \__________________________________________________________ | N | | 1.

You might also want to look in a Mac mag since the ADB is an Apple Standard and there are more ADB devices (or so I hear) available for the Mac, which may make something like that a necessary add-on. BTW: Why don't you just tack the second keyboard onto the first and then hook up the mouse to that one? It is my understanding that the ADB will work with up to eight (?) devices, and it doesn't matter where they are hooked up, since it is one big bus. Sure, the Mac has two ports, but I think it sees devices hooked up to either on as being hooked up to the same bus. Mike

The Apple IIGS cannot connect more than one device to the keyboard if
one is using the Apple mouse. But, if you own the TurboMouse ADB by
Kensington, then you have another ADB port free, since it has two ADB
ports. Also, I think there is some sort of an adaptor which allows you to
connect two ADB devices to it. So, the limit is not with the Apple IIGS,
but rather with the mouse you choose.unknown@ucscb.UCSC.EDU (The Unknown User) (06/26/91)

(I'm kind of tired right now too, so I may sound a little harsher than I mean to) There most likely are more ADB devices --ADVERTIZED-- for the Mac, but there is no such thing as more ADB devices being -AVAILABLE- for the Mac. ADB is ADB.. Mac/GS it doesn't matter.. (except maybe drivers in the case of a scanner or some other weird thing that might be ADB).. but the HARDWARE PATHWAY is -EXACTLY- the same, so the ADB device doesn't care whether you're using it on the GS or a Mac. The same idea is 99.99999999% true about SCSI. SCSI is SCSI. Apparently there are fairly rare circumstances where something won't work, but you can be pretty certain about buying a "SCSI" drive and it working with your Mac or GS. >BTW: Why don't you just tack the second keyboard onto the first and then ^^^^^^^^ He said two mice. quantum leap week this week. -- /unknown@ucscb.ucsc.edu Apple IIGS Forever! unknown@cats.ucsc.edu\ |WANT to help get ULTIMA VI //e or GS written?-mail me.
