[HPADM] HP-UX-style kybd for USB?

Dear List,

I have encountered a problem with my "PC-style" keyboard. When using and
administering our old but reliable and versatile HP-1000 system I was used
to the old keyboard lay-out of the HP terminals and the older
HP-9000 systems. When I changed my old 720 for a not so brand new
B-1000 (HP-UX 11i! ;-) it appears not to be possible to connect an old style
HP-HIL keyboard to this system.

What I need are the keys labeled with "insert char", "delete char",
"insert line", "delete line" and "clear screen".

I was already thinking of

   1 a HP-HIL to USB converter,
   2 a USB keyboard in the old HP-UX layout
   3 adding a X-terminal to the mess on my desk.

I was not able to locate something like option 1 or 2. I have plenty
of X-terminals available, but I hate the waste of space and energy involved.

Does any of you have a suggestion for a solution?

Thanks in advance,

Eric
