HI! Im new to the list...

My roommate has like 5 Timex Sinclairs, he has more classic computers than I do. Im the Kay Pro enthusiast though. I think the real reason why I became interested in KayPros was because of the 8088 that we bought. It was in the Summer of 1984. I was 6 years old. I can even specifically remember the old Kay Pro advertisement. They showed three models they were selling. We ended up buying the medium one. I also remember that they bragged about having an internal clock that memorizes the time after you shut it off. The one we got was the PC/10 I THINK.... NEC-V20 13Mhz Processor Herchulese Monochrome KayPro Monitor with CGA card. Huge case 20mb ST-225 RLL Hard Drive 2 Teac 360k 5.25" floppy drives AT Compatible keyboard 640k base memory 128k "Extra" memory that to this day I haven't figured out how to use. man that computer was awsome! I remember the very first REAL game that I bought for that system. My parents got it for me for christmass, it was StarFlight. A mid 80s space flight game. Next was Sentinel Worlds, and then I got all the old AD&D Gold Box Series games. We ended up getting a SVGA monitor shortly after Starflight. Guess what brand it was..??? LOGITECH!!! Thats right, my monitor was a Logitech, the mouse company!! It was a .49 pitch monitor, 14", and it weighed around 20 pounds or so. My parents paid like 1,500 bucks for the darn monitor.

I bought a Kaypro 10 recently (after seeking advice from people on this list) and I like it! Shame, shame! of Don't feel bad -- I'm in the giant megalopolis of Orlando Florida and there's no abundance of information here, either. Likewise with the Sinclair and Timex/Sinclair machines I collect -- there are many active user groups around the world who share software, as well as hardware groups who have made available devices such as disk drive interfaces, data transfer to/from IBM-type pcs, etc. But nothing for the Kaypro. Perhaps this is because the Kaypro computers weren't "hobbyist" computers -- they were designed and marketed as "business" machines. As far as I can tell there was very little third-party hardware sold for the Kaypro, and they were not exactly designed to be modified (people on the list, please correct me if I'm wrong ;>) Glen Goodwin 0/0
