LOW  PROFILE  KEYBOARD  FOR  THE  IBM  6580  DISPLAYWRITER SYSTEM
ANNOUNCED
The  optional  Low  Profile  Keyboard  for  the IBM Displaywriter
System  is ergonomically designed with operator adjustable slopes
of  5 degrees and 12 degrees.  With the 5 degree slope, height of
the  home  row  keybuttons  is only 30mm (1.2 inches).  Keybutton
arrangement   and   functions   are  identical  to  the  standard
96-character IBM Displaywriter keyboard.
HIGHLIGHTS
o Plug compatible with the standard IBM Displaywriter System
  keyboard.
o Key arrangement and function are identical to the standard
  IBM Displaywriter System keyboard.
o Keyboard slope adjustable for individual operator preference
DESCRIPTION
The  optional  Low Profile Keyboard can be used on either new IBM
Displaywriter   Systems   or  on  existing  systems  and  can  be
attached/detached  by  the  operator.  Keyboard slope is operator
adjustable  at  5 degree and 12 degree settings.  At the 5 degree
setting,  height  at  the home row keybuttons is not greater than
30mm (1.2 inches).
The  Low Profile Keyboard utilizes an electronic shift instead of
the mechanical shift and shift lock mechanism on the standard IBM
Displaywriter  keyboard.  With an electronic shift mechanism, the
operator  cannot  determine if the shift is latched in upper case
by physical position of the shift lock key.  Case position can be
determined only by the character appearing on the screen.
FIRST CUSTOMER SHIPMENT: June, 1983
PLANNING INFORMATION
The Low Profile keyboard attaches to the IBM Displaywriter in the
same  manner  as the standard Displaywriter keyboard.  Desk space
of 521mm (20.51 inches) by 222mm (8.74 inches) is required.
