ADVENT Products (1-800-821-8778) (1-800-521-7182 in California)
offers a Turbo Rom, 20 megabyte hard disk and mounting hardware for slightly
over $800 (maybe less by now). The 20 meg mounts internally and your
present 10 megabyte plus the 20 megabyte add-in format to 33 megabytes.
If your Kaypro 10 has the 50 pin cable running to near the center of the
main board, instead of the edge of the board you will need a kit costing
8 or 9 dollars additional. If you have a Legacy clock you will need to
run one wire from the Legacy chip to the Turbo Rom chip. Installation
is easy, according to those I have talked to that installed. Mine is
on order. The Turbo Rom includes ZCPR1, lets you format diskettes with
256 directory entries rather than standard 64, lets you interface
directly with several other types of diskettes, including XEROX, Epson, etc.,
and also does much more, like write to disk 6 times faster, etc.
Advent also offers a 10 meg add-in, or a 32 meg replacement.
