Keytronics makes a passable keyboard substitute. Check their frequent
ad in Byte or PC to see how you like the layout. My biggest gripe
about it (not very big) is that there is no tactile feedback. Also,
they had no good suggestion, when I called on behalf of a large number
of users, as to what I might do with the OLD keyboards. But if you
haven't bought your "system unit" yet, note that you CAN get a system
unit without a keyboard.  Most IBM dealers deny it, but the item
number is 5150X14, 5150X64, or 5150X74 (according to disk(s): 1 SS, 1
DS, or 2 DS). Our (rather old) price list shows each of these as $270
less than the corresponding with-keyboard model.
