An excellent idea! Sign me up! Hmm... what info? Name, location,
collecting interests, etc?

I have the following CP/M hardware for sale:
************************* K10 ******************************
Kaypro 10 v1.9E (1983?)
Boots: KAYPRO 60K CP/M Version 2.2H
Occasionally returns BDOS errors when writing to the hard
drive. I suspect it needs to be replaced (but maybe a good
low-level format would help?)
Does not have system disks (I bought it "as-is" with system
installed on the hard drive). I do, however, have a copy of
of the Kaypro Technical manual (the real McCoy, used by the
technicians...) and the padded carrying case. Will sell all
three and ship anywhere in the lower 48 for $70.
************************** K4 ******************************
Kaypro 4 (semi-cannabalized)
System was plugged in when a lighting strike hit power lines
System no longer sees the keyboard -- the keyboard is good
and worked on another Kaypro. As I recall, the following
subsystems are still good: keyboard, monitor, 2 half-height
diskette drives, and most of the motherboard. (no pwr supply)
Will sell and ship anywhere in the lower 48 for $35.
Send email to: 72530.1626(a)compuserve.com
If you're conveniently located in the Southeast Michigan area
or Northwest Ohio (or willing to drive there), we can set up
a local pickup and dispense with the hassle and expense of
shipping.
Thank you.

I personally would like a printer for every machine in my system if one was
made for it and it works.
Sinclair1500, Atari, 400,800xl, 1200xl, C64, TandyColor/2 Tandy Model4, and
almost every apple made.

I know where you can get a BioRythm, but not if you want to pull the
chip out...

This seems like an excellent suggestion. Put me down for Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. USA.

I don't have the app note but I do have the data book and it has a partial
of what the coco1 might have been.

If you're speaking of the venerable HP2645 terminal, I know it had a Z80 in
it. (And some people did rig it up as a crude CP/M machine.) Dunno about
the 8008 though...
