The only time I had ANY troubles with kaypros and 3rd party roms boiled down
to a few errors.
1: Mismatched ROM and OS disk
2: Using an eprom that was rated too fast. When I burned out the same rom
image to a slower part it worked. Even after erasing and reprogramming the
faster part, and validating that it was electronically (data wise) identical
to the older, slower part it would hang on boot with the faster Eprom

And that's my point. This is a Classic Computer

list is able to respond to this guy's Kaypro 10 question. Perhaps the
question was obscure, but this is truly the playground of obscurity. I
would venture that 10 years ago Dodd's post would have received at least
a few responses, as there were a lot of CP/Mers then on the list. They
seem to have mostly moved on, and the composition of the list has
changed.
Except, to my way of thinking, his question had nothing to do with
CP/M (I've got a pretty good grasp on that). His concern was with a
rather specific third-party ROM for the Kaypro.
