hi,
the original query:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
we have a 19 inch wide rack with all the servers placed on the rack.the
keyboard is connected thru a switch to all the servers. The problem is we are
unable to use the Sun keyboard shipped with the system.

please let me know if a keyboard is available which is 19 inches wide.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The first summary:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looks like very few people have faced this problem.
Thanks to Jason Marshall,John Sutton,Rich Casto for their responses.

No one could give me a vendor who can supply such keyboards, so i guess there
isn't one.
A work around could be to use the older Sun4 keyboard which is narrower.

After the first summary I recieved responses from the following.

Gene Rackow

Thanks for your help.

Summary:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
While some of the solutions pointed out a Sun Express product item no.
X465A(list price $ 75) some others suggested using the keyboard of the old
Voyager systems. One of the suggestions did advise repackaging the Sun 5
keyboard itself to fit into the rack.
The Sun Express product item no. X465A is a device that allows you to connect
a PC keyboard and mouse/trackball to the Sun keyboard port.
