It was a pain for me to find a good quality photo for one of these, so I figure I should take some. I didn't take any pictures of the bottom of the case mainly because the case isn't original and is from the Chinese dyesub variant, but anyways...

Enjoy!











Oh yeah, here's the KLE to those that are interested: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/# ... 0%9F%95%AA

Awesome pics and an awesome keyboard, thanks for sharing. Can you use it on a modern computer as is, or did you need to convert it?

You do need a converter, yes. I've heard it uses Set 3 with a weird pinout, but I'm not entirely sure. The board acts weird with break codes though, so it wouldn't have been very useful.

The actual 5556-001 has PF labels, just a note:
