Hey chimera15, so glad to see you were able to ID that board! I wish I had noticed sooner, I guess I missed my notification email. Oh well.

Nice work! Really appreciate it, I will have to pick one up ASAP. That's interesting that they did indeed cut off the entire back for the movie. That seems rather drastic, I wonder if there were few choices in mini keyboards at the time (1997)? In any case it would explain the lack of a cord in any of the pictures, I had thought it was probably wireless, but I suppose this means the one in the film was in fact only a prop and not practically usable. I wonder if it would be possible to modify one to remove the back while still retaining the usability. I will have to make this my project. :happy:
