I still haven't unpacked the keyboard that came with my Zeos machine;
since I was unsatisfied big-time with the 'AT-style' keyboards (too
accustomed to having the function keys on the left, I guess), I
ordered a Northgate OmniKey/102 keyboard when I ordered the Zeos 386
system. I'm really happy with the Northgate keyobard, even though
it's taking some time to get used to the new positions for the INS,
DEL, HOME, END, PgUp, and PgDn keys. And I've got to build a new
keyboard template for _F-19_; the AT/XT layout mix isn't covered on
any of the templates provided.
