Rumor has it that David Griffith may have mentioned these words:
>Does anyone here have pull with Sun Microsystems or know someone who does?
>I'm trying to get the right person jazzed up about the idea of a Type 7
>keyboard built like a Model M. I've already emailed clickykeyboards.com
>about it and they'll do the engineering and design work for about $27k. A
>Type 7 sells brand new for around $50. I'm sure people would be more than
>willing to pay twice as much for a "Type 7m".
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,
