Prepare to get lots of PMs.
I'm not actually sure if you can soarers a Nixdorf board, if they're just a standard PS/2 then yes, there is a chance that they run some strange Nixdorf protocall though. Photekq has one (clicky)so it might be worth asking him.

Good luck getting it working, keep us updated. Do you have a picture of the connector? That might also help decide if it's soarer-able.
Is the layout Portuguese AZERTY? I mean, clearly it's AZERTY, but I can see some Portuguese characters on the right hand side of the alpha block as well.

my father in law has a small import/export company, and they were moving from a huge warehouse to a much smaller space so a lot of stuff got left behind.. in the last day in the old warehouse i went there scavenging for stuff and found this in the middle of a bunch of crappy 5€ keyboards..

People want to tear it apart for those clear "Nixdorf black" switches inside. Don't let them! Unless they pay €1000. It really is worth a small fortune to those scoundrels!
I'd just use the keyboard too. Caps are cool. Looks a nice layout. What's the connector?

Yeah, let chzel have the useless case and I'll just take the PCB with switches. It's useless without a case so I'll just pay for shipping.

Can't see the pins. Needs better picture!
I'm not well versed in Nixdorf computers. If you're lucky it's simple AT. If not, well, could be better to sell to one of these guys and buy a few Topre Realforces with the takings, to console your disappointment!
Each of those switches is worth several dollar/Euros.
