Hi,

> how do you get these for modern pcs? My bios rejects the good old
>8088 PC keyboards.

I use an original IBM AT keyboard, this one I'm typing on now was made in
1985.

Aside for the fact that modern keyboards are so mushy that it's like trying to
type on a damned "dead flesh" Spectrum keyboard I prefer the original 84/85
key AT layout. For one thing the function keys are down the left hand side of
the keyboard....where they're supposed to be!!!
