Sun have moved to the type 7 keyboard now for their Opteron & SPARC
Systems. This makes the mouse Optical and provides a USB hub in the
keyboard section. Unfortunately where the Type 6 was available for free
the type 7 is now chargeable and it's a bit over the top at ~€48 + VAT.
As the type 7 is designed for the Opteron Workstations/Servers which
support Red Hat, SuSE, Windoze and Solaris it should be a bit more
useful. There are two types, std layout and UNIX layout. I would just go
out and buy the cheapest USB keyboard for €10 and ditch the Type 6.
