Several years ago I wisely snapped up several at a ham radio swapmeet. 
I have also stashed several from work of the classic IBM PS/2
keyboards.

I have a bit of trouble with mine and the PS/2 to USB adaptor at work. 
Upon a cold boot I have to unplug the cable from the rear of the
keyboard and plug it back in.  If the laptop has been in suspend, XP
will never see it again.  :-/
