I just "won" this item:
Memorex Keyboard Model 88 Key MRX: 96345194 EC Level: 50167 5-Pin Cable
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300643954246
As Memorex was mostly not manufacturing things by the time these keyboards were being made, and Burroughs bought Memorex, this could be anything! Anything at all! I'm not even sure if it as an AT or Terminal connection. No clue what the key switches are. The layout suggests an IBM 3270 terminal keyboard.
After extensive Web searching I wasn't able to find any more information about this keyboard.
But for $35 shipped I decided to take a chance. I just hope it's not rubber dome. Or, if it is, that it's awesome rubber dome, like the Coleco ADAM keyboard.
I strongly suspect it is rubber dome after seeing http://deskthority.net/photos-f62/four- ... t2204.html (second post, a "spoiler")
I say this because the legends look extremely similar. Hopefully I'm wrong!

There was an NMB Memorex Telex board here that got my hopes up:

...but those are clearly different key caps.
Ah well. Sometimes rubber dome keyboard have nice domes and behave better with some Extreme Fluoro.
