Finally found it, on eBay, and not as part of some other auction. Made an offer of $128.84 over the offer of $189 and the seller accepted. I'm not sure if sellers always notice the especially relevant numbers in my offers but I'd like to think it makes a difference. Arrived decidedly sooner than I expected. Just tested the thing and it works; numpad keys work fine, vertical movement on the trackball isn't working the way it should but should be fine once I open this thing up and clean it out. (Boy, does it need to be cleaned...)
The only thing which isn't quite working is the regular keyboard when it's connected through the numpad. After a bit of keymashing I managed to get in a keypress or two for several keys including A and ], but they repeated nine or ten times, or continiously until I pressed another key on the numpad. I'm not exactly sure what the problem might be; it could be the contacts on the keyboard cable port need to be cleaned, or maybe there's something burned out on the circuit board. I'll post another picture of the inside a little later when I have time.
