Actually, the keyboard on the Macintosh Portable is identical to the Apple
Standard Keyboard with a few exceptions:
1) Does not come standard with a numeric keypad. (One is available optionally)

2) Does not come with the Mac II Power-on key.

3) In order to make room for the "enter" key in the main keyboard, the
return key was shortened and the backslash key was moved from next to
the space bar to above the return key (to the right of the "right bracket")

4) The enter key was placed in the spot vacated by the backslash key next
to the spacebar.

Otherwise the keyboard is identical in key layout to the Apple Standard
Keyboard.
