Yup - I have one! It's so buggered it won't operate on batteries for more than a fraction of a second. So chances of me playing Revenge of Shinobi on the toilet still limited till I get a new one!

Luckily the bits are in the right places, (e.g. RRRRRGGGGGGBBBBB versus RRRR-GGGG--BBBB-) so you only need to write 565 and you support 99% of Pocket PCs out there (apart from 3130s)

Someone had their thinking cap on when they designed that!

By the way, I saw a Nomad the other day, someone in the office brought one in - they are really big chunky devices: more like a toaster than an Atari Lynx! Still, great to see one!
