Thanks for the reply.
The original keyboard is Sony part 148793541. I didn't find the
number in keyboards on ebay.
My search found two keyboards claimed to work in the machine.
112044239367 lacking the frame or bezel surrounding the keys and this
one with the frame.

I bought the 2nd, visible here installed in the machine.

The failed original keyboard is below. The two Enter keys and a few
adjacent keys differ in shape and position. The original keyboard has
some unusual markings on keytops, lacking on the new keyboard.
The machine has Debian 11 installed with X and default keyboard
support. No problems with function of the new keyboard.
Thanks again, ... Peter E.
