Thanks Gene, I think it's kind of a moot point though. While I was
working on getting the remaining working floppy drive setup for an image
write, one of the caps on the power supply board went POW! and
everything went dark. Guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Anybody need any Kaypro II parts? (less the power supply and the bad
floppy drive of course...) I'm done messing with it.
At least I have one working CP/M machine, my Xerox 820-II. That's enough
to keep me occupied, along with all my other old toys. :)
Maybe I'll do something constructive and turn it into a 'retro-modern'
computer with a small flat screen in place of the CRT and grab a
micro-ATX board and stick in it. It's not like there's not enough room
in that big aluminum case to do most anything. :D

Yep, found that out. Thanks Terry. I checked your site and found the
link back to Dave Dunfield's for the floppy images. I tried
mrynet.com, but their FTP seems to be down at the moment. I'll
probably try to image a couple of disks later tonight. :)
Dave, don't forget to check out the Kaypro section of the Don Maslin
archive over at http://www.retroarchive.org - there are a LOT of disk
images.

jumper
setting on these old full bay 5 1/4 floppies to select the drive
ID? Any ideas?
In my Kaypro II, the Tandon M-100 drives use an IC-type jumper for
drive select, not the cable. Remember to swap the terminating
resistor too.
