This is the keyboard of my father's old "portable" PC. I found it on the attic along with the PC.
Seems to have original white ALPs. The cable is AT.
I screwed up the Z key as kid... sry

Did you know that as a kid, I used that keyboard on my father's pc to play Hitchikers Guide to the Universe (the Adventure), KIng's Quest, and use Wordstar to make cassette tape inlays for my ZX Spectrum tapes full of, uh, demonstration software? Aaah, the mists of time. Now get off my lawn!

It's just a variant of the model F AT layout:Daniel Beardsmore wrote:That is one weird layout!
I guess this must have been designed when the first IBM Enhanced keyboards came around because they thought they could include F11 and F12 as a bonus.

I think I have seen similar layouts more than once before. Same as Model F but with the function keys moved up.
There is an older type of Dolch keyboard that has this layout also - old, before the Cherry OEM keyboards.
