This is the Interact Model One computer based on an Intel 8080 design which is quite late. It is a later model that is not very widely available as the normal Intact Model One computers had a chicklet keyboard. The gallery below has pictures of this later keyboard consisting of the ITT ETL18 key switches that I posted about earlier here: photos-f62/itt-etl18-horizontal-spring- ... 15019.html

You will notice a big no-no with the space bar (one switch on each side). You can press down on either side of the space bar and without a proper stabilizer it works. An otherwise excellent keyboard.

Here are some pics:
