Yes, I thought that would be a way but I haven't found any mention anywhere that something like that is supported. Partitioning probably needs support from the flash itself too. Another way would be to store them in RAM but I suppose a lot of these microcontrollers used on keyboards are really limited on the amount of that. And they'd be volatile then and RAM probably isn't accessible from USB directly so that'd need some support at both ends of the USB cable. Then again, in this day and age volatile storage has an appeal. I kinda thought macros are a popular feature. My particular interest is in putting wifi passwords into things that support a USB keyboard but aren't really computers. I thought online gamers might use text macros too since some keyboards have this macro feature but I guess gamers mainly use voice. --- PyGate Linux v1.5.1 * Origin: Dragon's Lair, PyGate NNTP<>Fido Gate (3:633/10) .
