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.

CU AGN,

Holger
