I'd rather have the exact opposite - an adapter that would let
me use a Sun (unix layout) keyboard with a PC.  (I really like
the Left function keys; and having ESCape in a convienient location.
But most importantly, the idiots at IBM that layed out the original
PC keyboard didn't seem to understand that CTRL is a shift key
that needs to be convienient to the little finger; and that CAPS
LOCK should be off somewhere where you won't hit it by accident.)
