This is entirely possible, provided a computer has two free serial ports. It just makes the driver a bit more complicated. If you wanted acquire the second Twiddler only when you wanted to sit down to some serious typing, as someone mentioned, you'd have to figure out if you wanted the second twiddler to be completely redundant, or have some sort of mode button on the second Twiddler that puts both in a two-fisted mode. Since the Twiddler just puts out keycodes, you could write a driver that accepted chords across Twiddlers, i.e., L00R with the left hand and RRRR with the right - this effectively squares the number of available combos, which is certainly more than my poor brain can handle (what's that, up around 9 million?). What is completely ambiguous is what the second mouse input does, if anything. Then again, on implementations like the Pilot driver, this is ignored anyway... Alex Feinman
