I remember Kaypro (Non-Linear Systems, wasn't it?)
going up in flames when
I don't remember ever seeing a desktop PC coming from them. Anybody know
how rare this box is? Sounds like a keeper.
Well, I'd thought Kaypro PC's were fairly common ~1986 time frame. One of
the local Computer dealers was Kaypro only. My Mom bought a Kaypro PC in
July of '86 right after I went into the Navy, and about a year latter I
bought a
Kaypro 2000 laptop (V20 based DOS PC) from the same dealer, and later a
base unit and Kodak Diconix printer.
IIRC they made both XT and AT clones, and were normally bundled with a
whole suite of productivity software the main piece being Wordstar. Pretty
good systems.
