Nice!

I worked in an IBM shop back in 1990-1993. We had System 38 and AS/400
midrange computers, and the IT department had all microchannel PS/2s
running OS/2. Microchannel was nice when you were multitasking or
running the box as a server, but for DOS, ISA is even better.

Best keyboard ever made - I still have a Model M from that company
that I use.
