I have a MicroSCI Havoc that uses a Cherry brand keyboard, and Multitech
also made a generic external Apple II keyboard that would work on both the
MPF II/III. I also have an Orange 2 that I believe also uses a Cherry
keyboard. I also have a couple of plain external Apple II keyboards but I'm
not sure who made them. I would assume that an Apple II/II+ keyboard would
also work if you could add one of the 9-pin adapters in place of the socket
plug that the standard Apple II uses but I haven't tested that.
