Thanks, it was just a regular buy of course. Quite cheap too. Notice the layout, no enter or return key rather it has 1u "repeat" keys of either side of the spacebar. It was for some word processor I believe although I don't know.MrDuul wrote: ↑Nice man, great find.

Sure, but what makes these so nice is the quality grade of the plastic, not sure how a reproduction would hold up.MrDuul wrote: ↑Is it possible to 3D scan a key then 3D print a reproduction?

If you want one you could rob a museum, as I have said before.
Anyway beautiful keyboard, I would love to see the system that ran. In all its 70's glory

Four years later, I can answer that question
Just received the Azerty variant of that keyboard
And it came with a little instruction sheet
The KDS series were Key to Disk Systems.
Link with a bit more infos in French on the system

And here's the only good quality picture I could find of a KDS (sometimes called KDU)Key-to-disk systems were systems that took data entered by users from keypunch-like keyboards and held the information on a hard disk. The information was then transferred from disk to 1/2 inch tape for processing on the user's mainframe equipment.
