Rumor has it that David Griffith may have mentioned these words:

Hey, found a link on the same site that might get you closer, but you'd 
still prolly have to remap some things:

http://pckeyboards.stores.yahoo.net/122keyterkey.html

It's got function keys on the left and 2 rows of function keys - you could 
get this keyboard programmed in a *nix-like layout as well?

This one is runs $100, it doesn't have a mouse option. Oh, and this 
sucker's really, *really* big. I used these on IBM terminals way back, and 
you'll need a big desk for this rascal. ;-)

Just a thought,
