I ran into a old discussion group post which describes the retrieving of an ancient Cherry keyboard from 1978: the G80-0110.

You can read the post here (it's in italian though): http://groups.google.com/group/it-alt.c ... 8a9037d435

We learn that the keyboard is "small", hosted in a heavy metal housing (possibly a rackmount?) and with spherical keycaps. It's also my understanding that the alpha keycaps sport functions like "WRU TAPE, TAPE [with arrows], X OFF, EOT, FORM".

Googling this model didn't help finding more infos or pics about the mystery keyboard. I tried to contact the guy but his email address is broken – keep in mind that his post dates back to 2007!

Anyone knows more about this?

No, but I found this long ago http://www.sintek.it/ei_004.html. But I was not able to contact them.

That's cool (and probably very expensive if still in production).

These keycaps? Some German weirdo.

Possibly. Too bad no pictures of the actual keyboard are available!
