i've been using a Sun layout pc keyboard, with 2 columns of five keys
at the left hand end and 6 x 4 at the keypad end. The computer thinks
is is an Apple Extended Keyboard, but really like the progressive key
response and action. The later usb Sun keyboards all have the same feel.
That after using lk... ps2 kbd on an Alphastation for over 10 years.
Never failed, but crude feel in comparison...
