I finally tracked down a Programmer’s Keyboard for my 9100.  I don’t
know how widely it’s known, but there were two different versions
of the keyboard.  The only photos I’ve seen are the earlier model,
which meant that I almost let this one slip away.  It was on eBay, new
old stock, for $36 shipped!

All the info is in the manuals, if you look.  I had always wondered
why the keyboard illustrations in the Programmer’s Manual didn’t match
the photos of the keyboard I’d seen.  It’s because I read scans of a
later (1991) printing, which has illustrations of the later revision
of the keyboard.  I haven’t seen a 1988 printing, but I bet it shows
the earlier keyboard layout.

The various 9100 service manuals list different part numbers:

9100A Supplemental Parts List (May 1988), fig. 5-21, p. 5-53
----
Lists p/n 5-64995-131.  This seems to be the more common version of
the keyboard.  It has a block of (mostly) 2u keys on the far right,
angled RETURN key, and arrows by the SHIFT and RETURN keys.

Here’s what I was trying to share: http://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=6456.0;attach=11160

I’d be interested to know what’s inside one of these, maybe it uses normal switches and could be used to reproduce one.
