Found a Datadesk Mac101E

http://www.datadesktech.com/desktop_base.html (direct link: http://www.datadesktech.com/desktop_mac101e.html)

It comes with double shots apparently, I really don't know any better, but the data sheet says so: http://www.datadesktech.com/desktop_mac101tech.html. It definitely comes with clicky white/clear ALPs switches. I think I like them better than cherry blues.

I found this at a recent electronic recycling day and took it home. It's a little dirty, but the keyboard feels solid. I haven't gotten a chance to test it either as it uses a ADB connector (which I could not find), but chances are good the previous owner couldn't figure out how to connect it and tossed a perfectly good keyboard.

If I have time, I'll upload pictures but I really just wanted to share for now.

Complicated or simplified switches? And if simplified, what type?

Hmmmm... not sure at the moment. I don't see the 'ALPS' lettering on the switch casing so I'm leaning towards simplified. I'll read the Wiki on it and update this weekend.
