Any Idea of what this keyboard is ?

[kilogeek]

Logo looks like the "Bull Micral" brand so it could be a mechanical KB, anyone can indentify it with this pic ?



Thanks

Well I've not seen one in azerty, but most of the "Bull" branded Kbs are pretty unimpressive. I think some are (honeywell) rubberdome.

Let me do some searching.

Is this from Leboncoin, or do you have it in hand?

Edit: looks like the micral 30 used the IBM PC keybaord layout. and the micral 40 and 60 used a 101 key. I suspected this might be a kb for a micral 60. but its' not. Looks newer. Trying more options.

Well, the bull keyboard I currently have is a full ALPS made in JAPAN so I know these to be good stuff, as these PC were only sold between 86 and 89 approx.
Don't know if they sold rubber dome keyboards, I'll search. But these PC were all but not cheap^^, like most first IBM PC XT or AT clones.

An older cherry MX keyboard was a micral keybaord as well, according to a good topic on GH.

Despite some searching, I was not able to find more information on this KB.

Also, it's hard to compare relative computer expenses with keyboard quality. I have a very nice Fujitsu first gen leaf spring keyboard (very linear) from a sanyo MBC 1000 (ca 1982). The computer it came with is always listed as bottom of the line, even though nicer computer hardware often featured a worse keyboard.

Finally found, these were made by Zenith Data System in Mexico, and it's a dome...

FCC grantee GJK is the Honeywell Keyboard Division.

Groupe Bull bought Zenith's computer division though.
