Can anyone identify this keyboard?

It's a snapshot from "The Matrix", does anyone can identify the keyboard?

It's the Operator's keyboard.

It's been discussed here:

But only on the first Keyboard in the movie, this is the second one.

The colour and layout match the 20th Anniversary Mac (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twentieth_Anniversary_Macintosh) but the case does not. Perhaps it was modified.

Wouldn't surprise me at all, prop departments do things like that all the time to make things fit.

Wait... Some vintage Powerbooks also have the same keyboard inside their enclosure. That would be a much cheaper option than a TAM. :)

Haha. Pretty sure I saw gaffer tape around the corner, and it looks like the modifier keys (etc.) were drawn on with a crayon.
I would say it was poorly modified.

Do not try to identify the keyboard. Instead, try to realize that the keyboard doesn't exist.

(Looks like a mod to me. Shame too, it looks like it'd have been a great keyboard!)
