Wade: I got a USB Mac keyboard from CompUSA, in the Apple section of course, think it was about $30. You can use a regular USB keyboard (peecee) you just have to remember that the control-option-apple keys are now control-windows-alt keys. I used the Mac USB keyboard on a PeeCee and it worked great except the windows key was the apple key or something. Don't remember who the maker was tho, it's in the basement (i.e., bottomless pit).
