This is the Basis 108 complete with keyboard consisting of [[Cherry M8]] key switches.  The Basis 108 was an [[Apple II]] clone computer from West Germany; it ran CP/M, and had both a 6502 CPU (for Apple software) and a Z80 CPU (for CP/M). It is a beast of a machine with solid cast aluminum case.

The keyboard is [[Cherry article numbers|Cherry article number]] U01-0114, with uncovered [[Cherry M8]] low profile switches. The keyboard has three varieties of uncovered M8 switch: typical, used for 1 unit keys; black SPST-only, used for the [[stabiliser|non-stabilised]] wider keys; and an LED switch for Caps Lock (with circular LED recess and shell clearance). Each switch has a [[diode]], to provide [[N-key rollover]].
