SNKB-M2013-EGE-101
Notes
The GE Healthcare Model Ms feature some remarkable keycaps, with sharp and well-aligned dye-sub legends that contrast beautifully against other Unicomps of this time period. When connected to a home PC, the keyboard acts as a standard 101-key keyboard with no unique scancodes or macros (at least, as far as I can tell). This leads me to believe any functionality for the keys' legends were purely software side.
