Possibly -- I don't remember the branding right off. The problem, though, is that this is the only vt100-looking keyboard they have. :/ So if it's not the right one, (my current assumption until I figure out something else), then I'm at a loss as to where to find one.

Mine does that too -- the same flashing 4 I get when the keyboard _is_ plugged in. :)
