.comment: The Search for a Truly Great Keyboard Still.... Dennis E. Powell

The Ortek's key layout is very close
to that of the IBM terminal "Mighty Wurlitzer" -- so close,
in fact, that I'm inspired to do a little hardware hacking. (Yeah,
yeah, when you hack code you can accomplish things and you can risk
screwing up stuff on your hard drive, but hardware hacking can burn
your house down. Real men have soldering irons.) I may need to try to
cook up a PC cable for the big IBM keyboard and see if I can get it
to work. The "Record" and "Play" buttons on it
suddenly make sense.
If I pull it off, I'll let you know.
If you never hear from me again, it didn't work out as planned -- in
which case the Ortek is the best bet.
