My keyboad is querty on the top-line (below the function row). Looks like a standard 102 key IBM keyboard (Model M) with Norwegian layout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:102-key_Model_M.jpg Lastly I also found the needed "|" (pipe) on the English layout (mode) as "*" (star) on the Norwegian key to the left of the Return key.
