Seems you are in...Welcome back, Ethan!
Rumor has it that David Griffith may have mentioned these words:

How important are which features you want? If the "control key is in the
right place" feature means a lot to you, you can have that now for only
slightly more than Sun wants:

Not sure if you can get these in USB, but a PS/2->USB adapter should fit
the bill nicely. $70 (and I'll assume plus shipping.)
They do have this layout with an integrated
catstongue/j-stick/eraserhead/whateveryouwannacallit pointing device for $100.
However, these don't have the "extra" keys down the left side of the
keyboard. If that's what's most important to you, then that will indeed be
exceptionally tough to find, IMHO.

Any interest in this? It's very old but outside of my normal collecting
habits. The case is in good shape. It powers up but I get a boot error.
The screen is also a bit fuzzy but I think just needs adjustment. If you're
in the Puget Sound area (or don't mind paying for shipping). Going for the
best offer of cash or trade.
