Seems to be a good number of the older IBM keyboards for sale on the 
bay.  If you get a PS/2 style you're all set.  If you get an older AT 
style keyboard you'll need a PS/2 adapter plug.

I still have two extras stashed away in the attic in case they're ever 
needed.  But the one I'm writing on has been going strong since about 
1987 as best I recall.  Originally came with my PC-XT-286.
