I have a board that sounds like what you described. The company
silkscreened on the board is "Norcom".
The Model I case has part of the back plastic hacked out for the
additional connectors. The keyboard is one of the later-model
Model I keyboards with keypad.
It works with the exception of one column of keys, which should be
easy to fix when I get a chance.
