Lexmark or Key Tronic made 84-key keyboard assembly for the Tadpole SPARCbook 3 series and SPARCbook 3000 series SPARC-based portable workstations. The core assembly is derived from the IBM ThinkPad 700-series & 720-series Keyboard Assembly and likewise has an integrated TrackPoint II pointing stick, but it has three mouse buttons instead of two. The SPARCbook 3/3000 keyboard also retains green Alt and SysRq legends and a dull blue overlay numeric keypad legends from the 700/720 keyboard, but no longer has golden modifier, lock and utility key legends. It is closely related to the IBM RS/6000 Notebook N40 Keyboard Assembly.
