Well, thanks to everyone with good suggestions, and

for providing the boot disk image, I've been able to get the kaypro 4/84 to
boot! It came up in conversation that there were later versions of teledisk,
and after some heavy web searching I found one on a page for synthesiser users
that works with my computer in a dos window, even. I guess I'll have to
register it now. For reference, it's version 2.16.
You can not. Sydex took TeleDisk off of shareware in about 1992 IIRC.
There was too much abuse usage, I gathered.
So now it's off to Oak for nifty apps, I guess.
:)
I do have another question: the image on my kaypro's screen is somewhat
cockeyed. Is there an easy fix for this?
With the power off and some time passed to let everything discharge,
loosen the clamp screws and rotate the yoke on the CRT neck. Check it,
and repeat as necessary. When it is right, tighten the clamp screws.
Please be careful, as there are very high voltages in that area that
linger for a while after shutdown.
