Never seen one like that before, anyone have any more info?

edit - Actually, thinking about it I'm pretty sure I've seen a similar looking board but I didn't think it was Cherry and I can't for the life of me remember where I saw it...

Pretty sure that's a WYSE board that cannot be used with a PC.

Indeed it is, silly ebay seller! And silly me for not recognising those arrow keys .

It looks A LOT like a DEC LK201, like this one :

I'd be more inclined to suggest that it looks like the DEC LK201 in Peter's post.

See the post before yours, and yeah, the DEC is copy of the 'board in the OP.

The keyboard connected using a 4 position modular connector over which flowed 12 volt power and 4800 bit-per-second asynchronous serial data.

check the links at the bottom of the wiki ...
Maybe Cherry made a clone ? Or it's the wrong box or something ?

not a WYSE for sure...it reminds me a lot of my transtec kb mc420

I am pretty sure it is a cherry oem with mx blacks.
I think there is a definite chance it is a board made on order by cherry...the product code surely points in that direction.

"Made in West Germany"

did you buy it or was that pic from the seller?

Yes .
Was in urgent need of a 'Compose Character' DS-key and a manly sized Spacebar

Congratulations !

Glad it went to someone here! Now time for some more pics .

Now, you must clean up the keyboard and upload XXL pictures to the wiki!

---> Cherry G80-1306 <---

ps: What do you mean by 'urgent need' and 'Compose Character'?

Seller just listed another one with the same stock pic but listed as G80-1300.

Wonder if he's got anymore...

Sounds like you're starting a group buy!

I thought about it but I don't really have the time to organize it at the moment; you're welcome to ask the guy though after the success of your Wyse group buy .

I want one!!!

Count me in as well

Called their number and nobody's picking up. I'll drop them a line in the morning and see what we can arrange.

I've got that random auction on the way that we won today so if they've got a few of these I'll pass them on to the usual suspects

Everybody :
I bought the first one, haven't received it yet,
and got contacted by the seller, asking if I was interested in purchasing the remaining stock ?
I told them 'yes', but haven't heard from them yet .
They did however disclose the minimum amount they have left !

UPDATE :
They just answered ..
Be back later, when I know how this ends

Great! Is there any ANSI layout available

This is a strange special order terminal keyboard so no.

Wow, also interested!

I would be in for one.

Summary:
1 HzFaq (discoverd them; wonders if he's got anymore...)
2? Jim66 (made sceptic remark; seems not interested)
3 Peter (got one already, organises group buy)
- rodtang (doesn't like special terminal keyboards: no.)
4? Ascaii (did not say he wants one, but ...)
5 7bit (would have bid on it, if it were closer to his home; definitely wants one)
6 kbdfr (wants to be counted in)
7 dirge (contacted seller ; wants to be put down!)
- nntnam (complains that it isn't ANSI=> he's no collector)
8 Half-Saint (sell one, buy two more ...)
9 fruktstund (is wow-also intersted)
10 fossala (is in for just one)

Assuming similar price per unit, and that it has some sort of usable interface like AT or PS/2, I would be interested in one.

I've seen one that had 'US' layout, but was still the exact same ISO board physically. Seems they only changed keycaps for localized variant.

I'm out of this one thanks lads, I've promised myself I'm only going to buy keyboards that I'll actually use from this point on now!
