I think that a type-7 keyboard is USB, so I don't think that will help

Does anyone here have pull with Sun Microsystems
or know someone
who does? I'm trying to get the right person jazzed up about the
idea of a Type 7 keyboard built like a Model M. I've already
emailed clickykeyboards.com about it and they'll do the engineering
and design work for about $27k. A Type 7 sells brand new for
around $50. I'm sure people would be more than willing to pay
twice as much for a "Type 7m".
Note that there are conversion boxes that turn PS/2 keyboards + mice
into Sun Desktop Bus devices. these used to go for roughly
$100-$200. Might be easier to get a Model-M keyboard + your favorite
mouse hooked up to one of these.
