Hmm, aren’t the ones w/ simplified whites the ones with Windows keys? This is the kind after the layout switched away from having the backslash to the right of the short shift bar, but there’s no Windows key yet, right? In other words, type I from http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/focus2001.html

By the way, there’s another of these (this time without dust cover or box, but in pretty good condition), with bidding currently at $16 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/131095436957

I can confirm that Focus with win keys are simplified ALPS, but the feeling is awesome. I used to have one.
