I was under the impression that ASCII was just a specific layout for the keys to correspond with music instruments, rather than a type of keyboard?
I thought the driver may be a stumbling block, but I'll check out the one e9000k suggests. I've also done some research and found there are quite a few USB keyboards that don't require drivers, just need to buy them from somewhere who'll allow me to return if it does work.
More so than a fast DVD drive, a keyboard to that has some mobility and doesn't get caught would be a great addition to the 4000. Regarding the other thread about speed of navigation, I think it is a case of learning the OS and being able to use the block cursor effectively but naming tracks and doing a few other tasks would be infinitely better on a keyboard.
Edit: Just looked at the keyboard e9000k linked to and I don't think it'd work as it's USB 3.0. Make's me wondering whether the USB on the front is 2.0 or 1.0 like the back. Anyone know?
