Well, I was hoping it'd be a little more interesting, to somebody else if

parts from a operable machine.

I'm looking for info on one of these.
I's some kind of XT clone, with
an eight-bit passive backplane and an upgraded V20 on a CPU card. It
runs MSDOS, and currently boots into dosshell. A little googling
turns up numerous resumes containing Kaypro PC, and a number of old
classiccmp posts regarding them, but no real info. kaypro.com seems
to be down ATM. I'd especially like to know what the switch and
pushbutton on the back of the CPU card do. IIRC it's not a reset
button, but I might be mis-remembering.
There's not much more to know than you already do. It's an XT clone. No
magic. I don't know what the button on the CPU card does. Have you
booted it up and tried pushing it to see what happens?
