   Hi Tom and All,   
      
   RN> EV> Do You remember the Function Keys were on the Left of the Keyboard   
   RN> EV> in two vertical rows of five keys each instead of at the top where   
   RN> EV> they are located now-a-days.   
      
   I remember having seen such a keyboard in the Ham clubs station room.   
      
   RN> RN> No.  The keyboard I used at that time had the Function heys at   
   RN> RN> the top.   
      
   The keyboard I used with my AT 286 PC was the usual one today but sans   
   the WIN keys.   
      
   RN> EV> A relative used a keyboard that had those keys on the side on his   
   RN> EV> DOS 1.25 box.   
      
   I do have a smaller keyboard that probably stems from a luggable   
   computer. It has all the 12 function keys at the top but lacks the arrow   
   keys. Instead you have to push the Num Lock button to use the ones on   
   the numeric keypad. I did use that with this PC for a while placed on   
   partway open drawer.
