Name this keyboard from 1983...

This is sitting in our display cabinet at work, from one of our first systems we offered to customers in 1983. Custom built by Southwest Technical Products.

(Sorry for the crappy photos. Don't want to look like I'm casing the joint, so I did a walk-by snap.)

Also, note the Jolly Roger Button top right. :) In an adjacent case we have a few NIB Model M's. And a 122 key Model F. I'm drooling. We're still using a few F's and M's on some old IBM servers we use for testing...

It's probably a custom keyboard too. Pretty much every non-IBM compatible PC of the late 70s/early 80s had their own quirky keyboard design/layout.

Nice, are they AS/400s or something of that ilk? (the servers, that is)

Yes, well, one of them, and some desktops.

Just looked at another. NMB PS/2 Keyboard Model PC1ZZ. We still have customers that run SCO Unix, so we have to support many iterations.
