Home: Rosewill RK-9000V2, MX-Browns, my first mechanical Work: Model M

I started a new job about 6 months ago. We're an analytical testing company, so we have a lot of old tech laying around. I immediately set about scrounging the storage areas to replace the flimsy $2 rubbadome board they gave me when I started. After a few days of searching bins upon bins upon cabinets of old peripherals, I struck gold. She was in bad shape, but with a little TLC she's like new. The 0 key is a bit sticky and takes more force to activate than the rest of the switches, but everything still works. The feels, man.

Serial # checks out. Happy belated 25th.
This board was definitely manufactured to ship with some other company's product, whose logo conspicuously sits where IBM's should. And no, IBM's logo isn't printed underneath, I checked. I'm guessing the board shipped with a piece of analytical equipment, judging by the "DATA ANALYSIS" and "INSTR CONTROL" labels, but after quite a bit of digging I have exactly 0 ideas about it's origin. I can't find that logo anywhere. If anyone has any insight, I'd love to hear about it.
Anyway, because my office is ridiculously quiet, I'm being kindly asked to retire the beast (they're letting me keep it, at least). As of this Christmas, she'll be replaced by a WASD V2 with MX-Clears.

nitrobackflipDude that's a seriously awesome find and I know how you feel about the board being to loud I get some dirty looks with my mx greens during classes.
