It seems to me that a major disadvantage of the ST is that the CPU
is in the keyboard, resulting in a myriad of cables plugged into your
keyboard.
A local user's group person hinted that it is easy to buy a keyboard and
plug it in so that you can have a detached keyboard. Anyone on the net
have any info on this?

The 520ST keyboard has its own processor that sends scan codes on a serial link to the main processor. So I'd imagine that if you took the current system apart and repackaged it you could get a detachable keyboard. dgc
