Ray,
http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?prmenbr=1&prnbr=54G
0441&cntry=840&lang=en_US or call 1 888 SHOPIBM and give the number to a person.
$39 is pretty stiff for just the splitter, especially when you consider there
are people selling the IBM keyboard with the Trackpoint for $35 and it COMES
with a splitter.
Belkin makes one also that I've seen in Best Buy for approx. $20, and I've
gotten generic ones for as little as $12. It's been my experience that if you
find a generic one and the connecters are marked as to which is for the keyboard
and which for the mouse (don't laugh, I've seen some that aren't!) they'll work
just fine.
Regards,
James
