Tony, You want to check with "Sharkonwheels" who posts on _www.vintage-computer.com_ (http://www.vintage-computer.com) . He is very knowledgeable on Kaypros "after" 1983. He uses and has info on Advent products. I am more involved with the 1982 / 1983 versions and post under GADFRAN. My website _www.kayprosts.org_ (http://www.kayprosts.org) may give you some other productive contacts to explore. He may also know of HandyMan. You may want to check just what version of K4 you have. Main large chips on main board will help - e.g. U43 and U47, etc. He will be asking you about them and other aspects. He is very familiar with the K10's. Hope this helps some.

Anyone remember how to use a HandyMan for the kaypro? This was an add-in board, piggy-backed between the Z80 and socket, and had a TSR-like pop-up Borland SideKick wanna-be. Trying to find some info, as a K10 I acquired came with a handyMan, and Advent 1MB RAMDisk, and K4 came with an Advent Clock, RamDisk, ProGraphics board, Personality module, and 5mHz turboboard.

But I suppose we are learning a bit about you... m

VCF East 5.0 just two weeks away!

by evan＠snarc.net

Now that the list is running again, I want to invite everyone to VCF East 5.0, Sept. 13-14, at the InfoAge Science Center, in Wall, New Jersey. As usual we'll have awesome exhibitors. This year we also have two special events: Vince Briel's replica creation workshop, where you can build a replica of the Apple 1 or the KIM under Vince's guidance, and we'll have a ceremony and tours for the "beta" opening of our computer museum. (We've been in "alpha" for the past two years.) Sign up for Vince's workshop at http://www.vintage.org/2008/east/workshop.php?action=select <http://www.vintage.org/2008/east/workshop.php?action=select&id=104> &id=104. We'll also have some cool guest speakers. Most notably, on Sunday, we have Bill Mauchly. Bill is the son of ENIAC co-inventor John Mauchly. We also have a lesser-known engineer named Watts Humphrey, who wrote the proposal for the military's "MOBIDIC" computer in the 1950s; it was an early example of client-server architecture. And we've got Claude Kagan, who spent 30 years at Western Electric and Bell Labs and who worked to get our museum a first-generation PDP-8. Tickets for one day are $10, both days combined are $15, and anyone younger than 18 is free. Parking's free too. - Evan
