It seems to be in >good working order but I have no system software. I'm in the same boat. A friend gave me a Kaypro 4 several days ago, sans any diskettes. I have the manuals for the box, plus those for CP/M 2.0 (addendums to 2.2), CBASIC, S-BASIC, MS BASIC, Kaypro WORD, and Microplan. >I'm also looking for applications software. Me too. I am not sure of the legalities involved, but I would like to acquire the software for which I already have the manuals. I am familiar with the process of FTP to obtain public domain programs, but they don't do me much good w/o the o/s to run them. >No, I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. Me neither. I also got a quite nice daisy wheel printer (which is currently being put to use off a spare serial port on my PC/AT) so I (or my sister) could use it for word processing, and I have a spare 1200 baud modem that I can plug into the Kaypro's serial port. I'm sure I can find a PD VT-100 emulator. It's certainly a curiosity that will remain on the shelf next to my old Apple ][. >Any OSBORNE owners out there who can help? Any KAYPRO owners out there who can help? Thanks in advance for all those E-mails I expect to receive! ;-) Peter Johansson ac999303@umbc3.umbc.edu ...uunet!umbc3!ac999303 EE240133@umbc2.BITNET
