Heh.  I used to use the 950.  Now _that_ was a keyboard.  If I could
get a Sun type-3 but with the tvi950 feel, I'd be a happy camper.

Are you talking about the tvi keyboard?  If so, there must be different
versions; all the tvi keyboards I have on hand put control at the left
end of the home row (though they do put "ALPHA LOCK" between it and A).
(Admittedly these are 925 and 955, but memory is clear that a 925 and
950 used identical keyboard layout.)

Except that if it's to be "Sun-compatible", it has to speak the Sun
mouse protocol, and it's not clear where wheel events would fit into
that.
