Same here, too. I'm actually typing this on it (black logo,
detachable HIL cable).

If I may ask this at this time the topic came up: Is there a
manufacturer that sells the "mainframe terminal keyboards" with
the two lines (24) function keys and cross cursor control in
a PC-compatible variant?

I'm talking about something like this:

I know Cherry (Auerbach, Oberpfalz, Germany) did sell them many
years ago, even other ones with DEC LK250 or POS layout with
re-legendable keys (wow!), but they don't seem to be available
anymore.
