[net.micro] IBM PC alternative keyboards.

Keytronic makes a passable keyboard substitute. Check their frequent add
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.
