I have an Apple Keyboard II, an M0487. The layout is kinda braindead,
though good enough for its purpose, given that I only have the Mac it's
connected to because I need a host for the //e card.
I prefer the actual //e layout. That's pretty close to the M layout, but
~` is on the bottom about where Left Windows is on modern keyboards, and
ESC, Ctrl and Caps Lock are where you guys would probably expect them. ;)
But I don't really mind Ctrl in the corners.
