If I may ask this at this time the topic came up: Is there a manufacturer that sells the "mainframe terminal keyboards" with the two lines (24) function keys and cross cursor control in a PC-compatible variant? I'm talking about something like this: http://www.affirmtech.net/Affirmative_Thin_Client%20.jpg I know Cherry (Auerbach, Oberpfalz, Germany) did sell them many years ago, even other ones with DEC LK250 or POS layout with re-legendable keys (wow!), but they don't seem to be available anymore. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0
