IMO, >if you're going to emulate a DEC terminal, you should do DEC-ish things. DEC terminals don't have both a DEL key and a BACKSPACE key. A related question, does anyone make Sun-style keyboards (the good ones, like on the SS2 with the DEL and BACKSPACE keys adjacent) for the PC? Also, anyone know where I can get a PC-compatible sun-style optical mouse? I have one for my Amiga, but I haven't found one for the PC.
