I don't know anything about this. May not work with a PC at all. But it's looking absolutely identical to a Model F, except, as lowpoly pointed out, it's missing the knobs to the left and right to flip out the feet.

I think the keyboard is from the P3100 or P3105:

also note that there are status led's in the caps lock and num lock keys.  this is very unlikely to be a buckling spring keyboard.  if i had to guess, it's probably a rebranded keytronic.  lots of non-ibm keyboards back then looked like the model f because that was the standard layout.
