Does it have any identifying numbers?

There's a bunch of labels and printings inside the board, the pc board says ELE 2001; the chip says NCR '82 and 31960; and a couple labels on the inside of the case that don't make any sense. Do I have any chance of getting term support for this, or getting a new keyboard like this? It seems ideal.

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?

The connector and cable is standard XT-like.

Also, if there are function keys through F20, it might very well be a 3270-emulator of some sort.

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

F1 F2 [...] F18 F19 F20/RESET| ESC [...] TAB |[five direction keys] CONTROL Q [...] }/] CONTROL |CLR 7 8 9 / CAPS_LOCK A [...] ~/` |NEW | - 4 5 6 * [up] |/\ Z [...] [upup] |LINE | + 1 2 3 |NEW [space] | 0_ 00 . |LINE

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.
