Thanks to those who responded. The Dvorak keyboards that I am aware of are: I. The Northgate Omnikey 102 and Omnikey ULTRA keyboards. The ULTRA has 12 more function keys than the 102. These will support two different Dvorak layouts that differ primarily in the number key layout. A Dvorak keycap set is available for $15 to keep the keys from being all askew (like on my Sun :-) The prices are: Model list best I've found 102 $99 $69 Access Computer @ 800-359-6800 ULTRA $129 $99 " " " " " II. The Datadesk International Switchboard keyboard is supposed to fit both the Mac and the PC and is to offer a Dvorak module. This is based on a magazine article. The company hasn't confirmed this for me yet. List price is $240 plus $50 for each of several keypad modules. Datadesk is at 800-826-5398. I know not how others will choose, but I'm getting an Omnikey 102. -Ed -- ------ Ed Gow ------ uwm!mrsvr!gemed!sakari!gow ----------- My opinions are NOT those of GE.

Just thought I'd stick my two cents worth in. Are you aware that
by "re-mapping" your keyboard via software, you don't have to buy
anything to get a Dvorak keyboard? Try looking at general keyboard
utilities like SuperKey, or check into Public Domain/ShareWare. I
bet there's a Dvorak converter available for the asking!
