Picked this 540 up for $10. To my surprise it has a non-us keyboard. Can anyone give me specifics? Is this a generic European keyboard, or does it have a more specific region?

It has no power supply, so I don't know if it works.
Thanks,
Nathan

That would be the French/Belgian layout.
Great find!

It is, as funkytoad writes, an AZERTY keyboard rather than a QWERTY. It also uses symbols instead, eg of 'option', for some modifier keys. I have a German keyboard from my PB160 with a German-localized System 7.1, as it was received, which could be called by analogy a QWERTZ keyboard. It also has symbols instead of lettering for caps and some modifier keys. Both AZERTY and QWERTZ have only four keys to the right of the space-bar.

I'd love to have an otherwise-US-English keyboard that used the symbols on the function keys instead of words. Heck, I'd like it if Apple used symbols on all keyboards, since the symbols are used in menus, but not on the keys.
