I don't know of any with just those keys, but one of the xkeys controllers might do the job. www.xkeys.com The sell USB keyboards that you can customise to do a keypress/ series of keypresses for each key that you press. I got the 58 key one and I've set it up with the shortcuts I commonly use. It's quite handy. Note: When I bought it (3 months ago) you had to program (quite a simple process) the unit using OS9 as they hadn't written a driver for OSX at that time. Also, you would have to be a bit clever about programming the keyboard as usually you program it by i)tapping the key you wish to program, ii)pressing keys on your original keyboard, then then iii)tapping the key you are programming again. Part ii) of this process might be problematic unless you know an alternative key sequence for those keys that you don't have on your iBook (or you could always program it on another Mac if you have one) Once programmed it works by USB in OS9 or X(no extra software required)
