The closest thing to the real IBM keyboard in the non IBM world is the
OmniKey by NorthGate Computers in Mnpls / St. Paul area (P.O. Box
59080, Minneapolis, MN 55459-0080).  

They run about $100 or a bit more if you want a set of function keys
both to the left and above of the regular letter keys.  Also, noisy
(clicky) but excellent tactile feedback, exceptionally durable, can be
programed to do a few neat things.  A long time winner of "BEST OF..."
competitions.  You should be able to call them at 800/526-2446.  I
have one on both of my computers.
