> be helpfull. Do you have some, ode do you know
someone who does ?
Yes. Don Maslin, who reads this list, will send you
CP/M and a bunch of
other disks. He has almost every CP/M disk format known to man -- he does
a great job.
Do you have his eMail address, so I could mail him ?
There were a couple different models of the Kaypro 4
(Kaypro reused their
model numbers even after making major internal design changes -- I detest this
practice of reusing model numbers; so far Kaypro is the only company I've seen
that does this). I think each needs a different version of CP/M.
I think this is better then just anounce every other month a
'new' model, while they changed only som screws.
Take the case off, and look for a number like 8x-xxx-x
on one or more of the
chips on the motherboard. The last x may be a letter (probably A) or a number
or might not be there at all. Kaypro's part-numbering system was rather
erratic, it seems.
81-240 original (1983? maybe 1982) Kaypro 4
81-232 1983 Kaypro 4
81-184 1984 Kaypro 4 (a.k.a. Kaypro 4'84)
81-292 1984 Kaypro 4 (newest ROM version for this machine)
81-296 Kaypro 4X (with super-high-density floppies)
81-146 character ROM
81-187 character ROM
81-235 character ROM
On the Backside ther's some type number: 81-015 (if I remember
right) I don't know if it's for the whole machine or what and
can't see it fiting in your sceme.
Thank you
Hans
