Question:
"""
Hi, Sun Managers.
I just bought two X2100 machines with no keyboard. This model uses a USB
keyboard. I thought I had such keyboard in the office, but I failed, and
now I must buy one.
My question is simple: Can I use a "normal" PC USB Keyboard or must I
buy the Sun stuff?. I know that SUN one have more keys, but I guess I
could simulate the extra keys, like in my current keyboard switcher.
The machine keyboard would be rarely used. Only as emergency measure.
Thanks in advance.

The general consensus is that any "normal" USB PC Keyboard should do the
trick. The special Sparc keys are not relevant, since the X2100 is a
"fat" x86 PC.
In fact, I just bought a PC keyboard in a megastore nearby, and it works
flawless. Only 15 $.
Some people suggested that using an USB<->PS/2 adapter could work, but
nobody tried it :-)
