Been looking at some IBM Model Ms and the Unicomp ones available here http://www.pckeyboard.com/

But I really can't justify spending $80+ shipping on a desktop keyboard. :/
Does anyone have one they'd be willing to give up? Thanks

without trackpoint i'm guessing..
if so i probably have one or two really old and big and clunky keyboards downstairs..
birger petterson gave me some of his old stuff a year before he died..
i THINK he was anticipating shuffling off this mortal coil and was lightening up..
so i'll go look now and if one is sitting in plain view i'll edit this reply with a big YES..

edit:
yes, I have a couple of older IBM keyboards with large keys with long movement..
and the older style connection..
small, round with about 5 or 6 pins..
