Notes
This was my first vintage IBM keyboard and now the flagship of my collection. In a way, the performance of this keyboard ensured I got sucked into and stayed with this hobby. So sufficed to say, this keyboard holds great sentimental value! This keyboard was also featured in my Differences between and classifications of 122-key Model Ms comparison topic.
