The keyboard has everything you want (usual typewriter keys, numeric pad, soft keys) and sits comfortably in your lap. The interface is a five-pin DIN connector; the keyboard has a processor in it that handles auto-repeat and does some limited typeahead buffering. You'll have to get used to the left-hand shift key being in the wrong place, but it doesn't take long. I believe the keyboard unit is available separately from IBM; if not, why not get the whole PC and sell the Apple? (Just a suggestion). --Bernie Roehl ...decvax!watmath!watarts!bernie
