Yeah, 16 function keys and next to that "setup" and "break". Line

Not a bad layout, and it seems like a nice keyboard, but I just don't have
any use for it.

While I'm at it, I also have a keyboard here
marked "Wyse Technology 1983"
with a really odd 10-pin plug on the end of the cable. Nice individual
keyswitches if anybody wants that for salvage, or can use the cable.
Can't get you the Wyse part number, but Altos (AFAIR) OEMed these terminals
as the "Altos III" terminal. Have one in the garage, gives good service.
ANSI and TVI-910, with a block-mode option. Haven't had to open it yet for
any reason (already had a battery go out on a late '80s WY-150, so the
Altos seems to be pretty bulletproof). Unusual key layout, though. (not DEC
VT, not PC101).
