Do you have the little adapter piece with your Targus? We used to use a
Dremel tool to sand down the curved parts of the adapters that fit into
the Targus keyboard so that other models of iPAQs could connect to it. I
am not sure about the H4155 though, because we ditched that keyboard a
long time ago. So it may work or it may not. But the sanding down of the
plastic never prevented it from connecting the old iPAQs once it was
completed - so the only risk is in the appearance of that little adapter
piece.
