My Type 7 keyboard has a PC layout. For at least the Type 6 keyboard there are at least two layouts: PC layout and UNIX layout. The UNIX layout has the capslock and control keys switched and I believe the Escape key was also moved. Another difference is that the power key was changed to a standby key (same keycode, but different icon printed on the key?)
