The situation I was thinking of was using a mono evolver to expand a
PEK, though it's starting to sound like such a configuration may be
somewhat impractical for other reasons too (e.g., the PEK's "dumb
keyboard" split model; maybe if the mono gets the rumored "unified OS
upgrade" it will be expanded to handle splits on the receiving end
like a polyevolver...).

In general of course, it's always a bit dissapointing to see this sort
of miscellanous feature left off in a rack-to-keyboard transition or
vice-versa, especially when the cost of the associated physical
hardware is extremely low (the design cost is already mostly paid).
