Does anyone know if a keyboard that has function keys to the left and no

comfortably with a mouse, and have always found function keys on the

of an 'AT'-like layout.
Thanks, Mark.
I'm looking for a good action, high quality
keyboard of the same
action/type as an IBM Model M or the really great Cherry keyboards of
'the day' to use on modern machines to code with and work at a
terminal.
It looks like the CVT Avant Stellar is no longer available. It was a
clone of the Northgate OmniKey Ultra-T.
The genuine Model M technology went from IBM to their spinoff Lexmark
to Unicomp:

them:
