[geeks] IBM laptop keyboard?

Okay, it's a long shot...I don't suppose any of you has an IBM laptop
keyboard suitable for a ThinkPad T43p looking for a home?  Not for a
T43; the two are mechanically incompatible.  I'm looking for the one
that uses three, not four, mounting screws.  I've got a T43 as well,
and would happily swap keyboards, except the T43 keyboard has too many
mounting posts and two of them are positioned wrong - and I don't know
whether it's compatible enough to work even aside from that.

The T43p keyboard I've got has been damaged; it's missing all of the Z
key and much of the right-arrow key.  But the machine is otherwise
relatively nice (well, for a peecee); in particular, it's got a lovely
crisp 1600x1200 screen.  I asked my usual computer supply house and
they said that through them, if one is available at all, it would cost
multiple hundreds....
