Safe Harbor sells an adaptor that lets you use 2000-type keyboards on
a 1000.  I'm currently typing on a Northgate OmniKey/PLUS using said
adaptor.  I suggest getting the more expensive keyboard if you get a
NorthGate, as it is better than the PLUS (the clear-out price pf the
PLUS was too good to pass by...).
