Hi Ken (of 1:2215/300),

I opted for a Northgate keyboard when I ordered my first XT clone (approx
cdn$110 in 1990 dollars).  It resembled the IBM version in weight and feel,
but it had a large L-shape "Return" key, and the Caps-lock and
Shift-Keys were reversible to suit touch-typists.  It was much nicer than
the keyboards they offered for clones at the time at almost the same price.
