Does it have any identifying numbers? NCR OEMed a line of ADDS Viewpoint terminals for a while, and while the numbers no longer come to mind (unless they're like 2920), they might look familiar if I saw them. This keyboard sample doesn't look quite like them, though. Most of their keyboards like that were for terminals, not for PCs. Are the connectors even PC-like? Also, if there are function keys through F20, it might very well be a 3270-emulator of some sort. At 01:52 PM 6/6/96 -0700, you wrote:
Oops. I wrote that just looking at the keyboard. Picked it up at Seattle's Ex-Pc for $3. It's so old, I think it requires a non-PC BIOS. No manual, labels etc.
Anyone have a clue as to what this is:
NCR

It was designed for easily customizing your keytable, being an actual flat terminal with square keys easily pulled out and interchanged.
The back of the keyboard has three switches for the boolean selection of languages: US English, UK/Int. English, French, German, Swedish/Finnish, Danish/Norwegian, Spanish, Italian.
So, where to get a NEW keyboard like this:
FLAT, with a full set of SQUARE, EASILY pulled out keys.
