Thanx. > it's not hard. the apple ][ puts out ntsc, so you just plug in a small tv. camcorder viewfinder, at baseband. i presume you have an 80 column card? if so, you need a good viewfinder, if not you can pretty well use the lowest quality viewfinder you might encounter. use a 6820 or 6822 PIA for the keyboard, that gives you 8 or 16 inputs, and microswitches will work fine for the "keyboard". 7 switches (4 fingers, 3 for thumb) will work quite well. then you just need to write a program to check for the switches and enter text into a buffer, or initiate commands as per the keyboard input. mount in an external pack. steve http://wearcam.org/wearhow/index.html
