I've got a 5160 here with the XT keyboard -
however it's got the 64/256K
motherboard fitted (with the "early" Jan '86 EPROMs), and Wikipedia seems
to claim that by the time the 64/256K boards came out the machines were
shipped with 102-key keyboards (the XT flavor of the Model M, I assume).
Anyone know if that's true, and so my system should technically have a
"full size" keyboard, or was there a crossover period where systems with
the newer boards shipped with the 83-key XT keyboards?
I thought the 64K-256K board was the older XT one, the later version being 256-640K
(it's the same board with the '158 mux chip added and a link soldered in, just
like the
well-known upgrade).
