Cherry G80-2550
This keyboard is a clone of the IBM 3270 Emulator and connects to PCs using either the PS/2 or the AT protocol. With the IBM 3270 it shares the same style of labeleing, for both the connecting PC and the mainframe omputer it connects. Key caps are doubleshot and pad-printed.
Features
The black legends are mosstly double-shot, wheile all blue legends are pad-printed. None of the LED window keys are double-shot.
This keyboard is not programmable!
It is possible to use it with either AT or PS/2.
It has no n-key rollover.
Although under the 4 removable blindcpas there are 4 key mounts and PCB traces, closing the contacts does not cause the controller to send any key codes. This might be due to controller programming (see also sister-model G80-2551).
