Hello,

i have found this keyboard in my old parts collection - but i can't identify it and it is so long ago i got it (1990s) so i don't remember anymore. Maybe Apple or Apple Clone related.... the chip is a Toshiba TMP8048P.

Based on the TMP8048P controller and the early 1990s timeframe, this is very likely not an original Apple keyboard. Apple typically used their own custom controllers by then. The 8048 was widely used in PC XT and early AT style keyboards and in many Apple-compatible clone keyboards. Without seeing the PCB layout or switch type, my best guess is a generic PC or Apple clone keyboard rather than an official Apple model.
