I stand corrected! I just pulled a key stem off my PC-102 (has 24 function 
keys) and it IS a two-part key.  I'd looked at the Model M I got from 
Unicomp years ago and I could've sworn it didn't have the two part key. 
Maybe I thought that because the cap is much more firmly attached on their 
keyboard than it is the original IBM Model M.

Does anyone other than Unicomp make different key caps?
