CH's First Axiom:
   
"If a keyboard was designed before 1981, and doesn't have an IBM logo on it, it's linear."

Well, there's an exception to every rule like this IBM 5251 keyboard from 1978, the grandpa of the Model F.

It was in fact made by IBM. It was the first keyboard to ever use the 83-key layout.

These IBM 5251 Display Stations were manufactured between 1977 and 1981.

I'm either dealing with a bad troll or a retard. Either way, I'm dealing with a retard.

Those connectors look nasty... Probably require some HP-UX machine from back in the day to use it.

The far right connector looks like an Ethernet AUI connector. The middle could well be a parallel given that it's HP... I think you're right about the leftmost one being a SCSI.
