Need help identifying this Northgate 101-S Keyboard
« on: Sat, 17 September 2016, 14:48:29 »
So first off I will apologize for how filthy this keyboard is  :eek:, as I just found it today at a yard sale. I came across this guy today and I had heard of Northgate but didn't know much about them. So I figured I would take a shot because for $2 why not. When I got home I looked for a while trying to find this odd model number of 101-S on  a Northgate keyboard. I also found it strange that is doesn't say OmniKey anywhere, nor is it made in Taiwan. It this a knock-off? Is this older than the Omnikeys? Please let me know if you have any insight, or if you would like more pictures that could help solve this. Thanks -Nick

It's the Honeywell Rubber dome board. It's not older than the OmniKeys, probably younger actually.

It's also really not THAT filthy, trust me :)) .
