Hello,

     I am curious to find out whether or not an extended keyboard has been
thought about.  5 more function keys would make VT100 a lot more useable.
Separate pg up and pg down keys would be nice also.  There are probably
a few more keys that would be nice too, maybe an insert key?

     I have just thought of this.  How easy would it be to make an extended
height case for the 3000?  Maybe 2.5 to 3 inches taller. It might look a little
wierd, but think of the usefulness of such a case.  A taller backplane with
more slots would fit.  You could add more drive bays and even design one of
the bays to accept any type tape or bernoulli drive.  I have no idea what the
heat factor would be, but a silent fan could be added if needed.  If one
were available, i'd definitely consider purchasing it.  How much would the
extended backplane be?  Hmmm.  I wonder...
