This news item should be of interest to many of you. Chad and I at OpenRPN have received a donated set of 49G+ internals. We are already in the process of designing a piggyback PCB which will modify the keyboard layout and provide a double width ENTER key in its' traditional location.
From there the electronics will be mounted in an OpenRPN enclosure fabricated from ABS and neoprene. In addition it will be given a new set of tactile domes, double shot key labels, and voyager style keys.
Updates will be posted regularly (openrpn.org is down for maintenance at the moment), and will include plenty of pictures, CAD renderings, and prototypes.
Questions and comments are welcome.
Best Regards,
Hugh
