[de] ICL keyboard NIB

Does anybody know what this is? I only found out that ICL used to be the British computer industry. Looks kinda interesting, but I've no clue what's inside, or if it can communicate with a PC.

Looks like a compact terminal tenkeyless board + the tenkey part.  I'd want to think rubber dome, but I'll not presume it.

As for ICL's machines, I can't say other than that some of them were PC-like (such as a UNIX server built around a 486) but may/may not have been actual PC's.

My disappointment is the lack of international shipping.  I can get all the junk from China in 2 weeks time, but going between Western countries for things seems to be like pulling wisdom teeth.
