Help identify this keyboard, can't read japanese.

Can someone who can read Japanese help me decipher this page?

I stumbled across this keyboard and I can't really find any information on the types of switches or what kind of keyboard it is. It seems that it's some sort of "NCD" keyboard, whatever that means.

Here is the page

It's a UNIX array board. The guy got it new. (It directly translates to "unsused", so I suspect it might not be NIB. He also mentions that it's dirty.)

It uses NMB switches, which he says feel like cherry blacks. He also brings up some similarities to ALPS switches.

Also, It's an AT keyboard, and was meant as a replacement for the SGI keyboards of the past. Apparently, this is a gaming keyboard.

That's just my ****ty translation. Sorry if anything is wrong.

I find myself often using Google Translate to read Sandy's articles. Very far from perfect translation, but you can still get a lot of information. Paste the original URL into the left field (original) and click on the link that appears in the right (translated).

NMB Hi-Tek "Space Invader" switches. Never tried them myself.

I looked over the google translate, but I figured a member here might be able to provide a more accurate translation.

Can someone explain what a "Unix Array" is?

I had another look. It's for UNIX based operating systems, so Linux and OS X.

Again, I'm not totally sure, as my Japanese is kinda ****ty.
