“A hardware engineer has managed to sucessfully connect a full sized PC keyboard to the Sony PSP handheld. It looks as if the hardware modification has done with several different xlink cable connectors and modified to interlink with each other. Obviously, the software side of things are not complete but this is still a very interesting modification.” [via] Link.
