WTB: Solbourne computer

I talked with my friend who worked at Solbourne longer than I did.

This isn't quite right. The connectors are different, but the signalling is the same. You need a custom adapter, though, so you get the right signals on the right pins. Solbourne specifically made their keyboards incompatible with Suns at the connector level to force people to buy keyboards from Solbourne, but used the same basic parts as Sun keyboards to save on development costs. While the big battleship keyboards have extra keys, the scan codes for the basic keys are the same (though he cautioned me that was only his memory, but based on how fanatical they were about being Sun compatible). After he told me that, I recalled that I found an odd cable a few years ago in my big box of cables that could have been such an adapter, though I don't have it any more. He suggested using the SE guide that was on bitkeepers to make an adapter.
