KBK update for Sunday, 27th September

An interesting conversation with Peter Cherry (Cherry founder Walter L Cherry’s son, and former Cherry president) has cleared up much of the mystery surrounding UB80-01AA. It seemed logical to assume that these keyboards were made by Cherry using switches provided by Hi-Tek, on the basis that Hi-Tek originally did not produce complete keyboards. However, these are instead Cherry-produced Hi-Tek keyboards, produced at the behest of DEC. The reasons behind this are no longer known.
