Title: DataDesk International PC 8700 (for IBM PCjr)
Post by: jacobolus on Tue, 29 March 2016, 15:09:19

I doubt anyone wants to buy this, but I thought it was interesting, so I’m making a page here and rehosting the images so they don’t disappear when the ebay listing dies.

This keyboard has IBM AT layout, but apparently you get a choice of PCjr or XT protocol. Seems like some kind of spring over membrane switch, with nice Cherry-like doubleshot keycaps.

The same seller also has a PCjr wireless keyboard, which I believe used infrared: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322054288795
