I am trying to recreate my first computer which was manufactured by Kenitec. It was a standard beige box, 386sx 16 from the early 90s. It had a standard 5 pin din keyboard that was branded with their logo, but I’m pretty sure it was a generic keyboard. Does anyone happen to know the manufacturer they may have used? I’m trying to recreate my to as accurately as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dave

Please specify where this was purchased and when.

Was it similar to this one Kenitec 286 Plus (Suntac 286-12) ?

EDIT: Or perhaps an OEMed Monterey K208 keyboard ?

This was purchased in the US in 1991 from PC Warehouse. It is exactly like the link you provided, just the updated processor.

So you think it could be a Monterey?

If it looked like this https://web.archive.org/web/20240211040510/ht … i/Monterey_K208 , then it likely was a Monterrey K208 .

EDIT: If it looked like this one https://imgur.com/a2CBpVK , I can't really say.
