I've got a Lite-On SK-7500 that I bought on eBay at least two years ago. I 
don't know of any current source for these, but it's conceivable you could 
find one on eBay or by doing a Web search. It works quite well, and my JP-1 
remote emulates it quite nicely (I needed to use a JP-1 cable and program it 
that way). It's handy to be able to grab the keyboard from beside my sofa and 
type stuff -- either command-line commands in a text-mode console or show 
titles, etc. in the MythTV user interface. Mostly the JP-1 remote is 
adequate, though.
