I bought this ADC branded at clone cherry board about a month ago, i would not have suspected it was a g80 when i bought it, and i mostly got it for the f keys and the control key and expected it to be a generic keyboard that used cherry caps and switches, but today i finally got around to opening it up, and to my surprise, it was a g80-0647, something i have not seen in the past! as a cherry collector this minor discovery made my eyes light up

Strangely, The case very closely resembles a kimtron made keyboard, the back side is nearly identical! (did not have time to take a picture of ^^;) The case and other components may very well be made by kimtron but the pcb being labeled as a g80 intrigued me. I do not often see vintage g80s with a plate in them but this thing is built to last!

sorry if the formatting is bad, and sorry if i wasted your time, but i felt like showing this find I got!

Nice find. These true at-style boards are fairly rare, we've seen quite a few of xt-style boards recently but not too many at ones.
