Hess Can't say that I think that's unreasonable price ($1400). I am sitting here at a Kaypro and would rather have the extra drive on my main machine. Another available diskmaker is for the IBM P.C. from the Vedit person, Compuview products. I don't remember the price, but it was outrageous too. And why not? As a business, if I needed this thing, I'd be willing to shell it out for a program that did disk transfers instead of RS232 style. And how many sales can there be for something that requires hardware hacking. Only a few commercial disk-downloading outfits really need the higher reliability. And wait until you actually SEE the program running on the Kaypro.
