Thanks, I'd be very interested in a keyboard and further info in the form
of data..... Please keep me posted....

Peter et al--
I'll have a nose around- used to be an awful lot of APC-IIIs here- the
Telecom NZ fixed network is NEAX based (a line in electronic switches from
NEC) and the APC-IIIs were all over the place in the early days (15 plus
years ago) in use as terminals. But it's only recently the last of them
have
been tossed out (probably still the odd one in service
in reality!) in
favor
of standard pc hardware. Those in use here all had CGA
screens and either
dual floppies or (marvel of marvels!) 10/20Mb HDDs-- still probably some
docs about but only ever saw operating handbooks. Fairly sure I know where
there is still at least one keyboard---maybe two....

PS- Guess what was supplied for use as a portable terminal-the 9801--used
to
be lots of them about as well- I have one or two
salted away-complete with
cassette tape units etc.
