Check out the Northgate Omnikeys. Northgate is gone but someone else took
over their keyboard production I believe. It is configurable to a certain
point. It might be able to talk Sun Type 5, I think it could talk PC
standard, Amiga standard, possibly Tandy 1000 standard and others. It was
wierd. It even supported Dvorak mode, IIRC. They were nice, but $$.
