IBM-made 122-key terminal emulator style keyboard for the IBM 4456 TEMPEST PC III (aka, TPC III or TPC3), a TEMPESTed version of the IBM 3270 Personal Computer. This keyboard is based on the [IBM 3270 Personal Computer Converged Keyboard](directory?id=KZyW1nTL). Its controller electronics are shielded and it uses a male DE-9 plug instead of a 5-pin DIN plug. Over the base keyboard, the physical layout was slightly altered to include a 1-unit backspace and an ANSI-style left shift key. Its 24-key function key bank has "PFxx" nomenclature legends.
