Cherry G80-2000HAD teardown

[photekq]

I got this board a while ago.. It had always been one of those boards I wanted ever so much, but I thought it would be impossible for me to get. Thanks to sixty and tinnie (and kbdfr, indirectly) I was able to get it.

It's a truly amazing keyboard. It's also a huge pain in the ass to take apart and put back together due to the card reader, screen, and the seperate F keys

I won't link all the photos here since there are quite a lot.. For all the photos please look at the flickr album here.

Somehow, that's even more of a battleship than the IBMs it was up against. The back is really curved like that?

[seebart]

wow what a battleship, and those keycaps

NICE !

I never stumble across stuff like that

[Medowy]

The PCB looks cool :O

Cherry's Star Destroyer.

Looks like the EPROM sticker is missing in the last pic? In the long run UV light could erase the EPROM. Inside the case, I know, but if there's a gap somewhere...

Wonderful but I can't help but wince at the thought of how far you'd have to reach to get to the mouse..

There's even a Jesus (or Die?) key!
