First post so I dont know if those will show up right.

Yeah its got a weird badge on it, and a weird connector, but it works just fine in a soarer's converter and I'm using it right now. But beyond that I dont know much about it.

You need to add .jpg to those images, the urls currently lead to imgur pages with the image.

Is this from that recent eBay auction? Very neat, especially since only 3500 were made.

@webwit, thanks that got it working!

@emdude, yup! Thats why I want to know about it. It feels and sounds a little more crisper than my old broken normal f XT(maybe it was used less, I know I was the second collector to own the other one). I'm hoping to learn more about it.

Looks like a variant of the System 9000 keyboard

It certainly looks similar, but I do wonder why the badge was changed. Unless the latter model ones where just like that.

'IBM Instruments' was probably a separate division like 'EduQuest' that operated for a bit releasing products infused with some of the regular line, ultimately being dissolved when it wasn't profitable anymore / or just a flat out bad idea.
