  What?  And risk one of my precious IBM keyboards?!  They're getting harder
and harder to find nowadays (didn't find *any* at the last Ham fest [1]) and
what ones I have left I'm not willing to experiment on.

  But I've gotten a few solid leads on some adaptors (and yes, it's worth it
to me to buy the adaptors---nothing more dangerous than a software guy with
a soldering iron and all that.

  Also, I've found a source for the IBM keyboards (AT or PS/2 style) still
being made (although without the IBM logo)

  but they're *expensive* (although well worth it).
