Just came in today. A bit dirty but not much used.

Seems to have served as a server keyboard:

Near perfect layout, just the bottom row could have more buttons ( :roll: ).

I've plugged it in and ...

ENGLISH AZERTY :?: :?:

Great find, some of those old Commodore-boards are Au-quality !

How much for the huge-ass ENTER ??

You can have the keyboard against a Space Cadet keyboard in similar condition.
:evilgeek:

It is French layout with all modifiers and function keys labeled in English (I assume to reduce costs).

Love Peter Sellers... The pheun, minkeys and of course when he checked for massages... Not NOW KATO!!!

Do you have for me the massage?

You wanna massage, eh?

If you have one for me, yes.

Here – Why don’t you try Tokyo Lil, the end of the block?
Ask for “Passion Flower Shirley”, the Yokohama Butterfly.

And why should I do that?

Well, you want a massage don’t you?

Yes, but I want it from you.

Sir, I don’t give massages.

But you gave me one only this morning.

Where did you find the "HAF"? (or did you make that up?) I could not find any in mine.

Good thing you got just the keyboard and not the boat anchor it was attached to, best part for sure.

WOW!

Was not aware you have one too!
I didn't find HAF anywhere on it, but it has got double shots (H), comes with blacks (A) and is french layout (F).

I think in fact it is just G80-0910, as yours is just G80-0915.

I wonder if the German version would be G80-0900 and which other codes exist. Some day we must ask Cherry for their product codes.

What date has yours?

Let me know if you ever want to sell it.

Actually I would be very interested in seeing the boat anchor, I'm still trying to figure out exactly what system I used to play games on (and what keyboard I'd been using) back in the days :)
I'm thinking probably a PC5 or 10, but memory is a fickle friend..

:lol:

I had a PC-1. In retrospect, I'd wish I had a PC-5 with this dream-keyboard.

What is the serial number of this?
