I have an unusual dilema.
I have the HP 2210 Micro keyboard (thumboard) attachment on top of this I have a hacked (bottom connector moved to fit a 2215) benq game pad that plugs into the bottom of most Ipaq's. The problem is the gamepad itself does not fit alot of Ipaqs form and it is sold as only supporting a limited number of modles.
The problem however is not a modle issue its a problem with the thumboard drivers vrs the gamepad drivers. When I have installed the thumboard drivers but have the gamepad attached if I try to enable it I get an error saying the com port is in use (com port?) if I delete out the thumboard drivers I can enable the gamepad with no problem.
I have resulted in keeping the cab on a seperate media and installing it when I need the thumboard and then uninstalling it to play with the gamepad.
Is there anyway to get the thumboard and the gamepad to play nice
