Can anyone ID this Cherry POS board?

The reviewer never mentioned which board this is nor responded to an inquiry by another viewer.

I think it's a G80-3190HDU, though the MX8200 pointed me in the right direction and is roughly the same.

you are correct, though it was hard to see if it's doubleshot or lasered with that shaky cam.

That is the winkeyless predecessor to the G80-8200, should have clears and NKRO diodes. I had the chance to proxy one for someone once and prefer it to the G80-8200.

Its a 3190. I have one exactly like it. Not worth buying you cannot program it without windows XP
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Just because you can't program it doesn't mean it's not worth buying for the right price.

I had a 3190 once. That board is cool for 2 things. First, the numpad has row E profile so you can use them on the numrow for super clean look (well you will need to find a 1u 0 key somewhere else like a 1950). Second it's one of the few models you could get a fulltouch black on beige caps lock.
It is a nice board if you don't mind the slightly odd layout and having a magstripe. It is a serious pita to program, but once you set it back to normal (or if you get one NIB it shouldn't even be a concern as it would have standard to match the legends by default) you never have to muck around with the awful dos style programmer again.
