Those are seriously nice looking. I really really prefer 101 key designs to the silly 104 key keyboards. Since I remap caps to control, and the bottom controls to windows/command (depending on system), I don't lose any capabilities.

I might have to actually think about these...
HHKB Pro 2 -- Custom UNIX layout Unicomp Customizer 101 -- IBM Model M 1391401 (modded to UNIX layout) -- IBM 1397000 (also UNIX layout) -- SSK in UNIX layout -- Model F 122 key in UNIX layout (Soarer USB "native")

What's the key printing technology on those older boards?  It looks higher contrast than dyesub.  Doubleshot?

Yeah, seriously. If I had known they would go for that low, I'd have snagged at least one of them. Ah well, I suppose.
