  Northgate 102, runs on XT or AT by a switch. Has the function keys
where God intended, too. I have three of these, luckily all the old
style. The only thing wrong with the new one is that there is only one
Alt key, and there is a * key next to the spacebar. That's fine for DOS
users who type *. a lot, but for UNIX I want the \ and ` one the right
hand, thanks. My old ones all have it there.
