From the 5155 Portable PC, although its listed as a 5150.
Don't see many of these.

That's the first model of keyboard I ever typed on! I still remember the Portable PC it came with.

Shame it doesn't ship to the UK :( .

Not as far as I can remember. Then again, it's been twenty years or so since I used that xD .

The beige cover is plastic, while the top cover (http://www.flickr.com/photos/110684646@N05/13269036244/) appears to be plastic.
