[re: problems with multiple keyboards/computers using RF interfaces in ]
[ the same room. ]
I'm not so sure this would be a problem. In the rock bands that use such
devices, you see as many as half a dozen different instruments on the stage
at once, each using an RF device, each using a separate amplifier, etc., and
this problem never develops. I apologize for not being able to furnish more
specific technical information.
I really would like to see this idea pursued at greater length. Just think of
the convenience of having *all* the support hardware interface via RF: hard
disks, printers, modems, CPU's, etc. could be tucked neatly away on a bookshelf
across the room. No more piling 80 pounds of technojunk on top of your desk,
not to mention doing away with that big mess of cables.
