Dear Bob,
You're in luck; I was just looking through the Jameco catalog
yesterday, and noticed the following:
http://www.jameco.com/cfm/viewdesc.cfm?part_num=166975
It's an 84-key keyboard, with the function keys on the left F1-F10.
AT/XT compatible, but the feel is probably lighter than what you're
used to with your old Zenith. Yours for the exorbitant price of
$15.00 + s/h.
Picture on the link above.
