Here's a point I was never quite clear on... Are
disks readable
across different machines? For instance, take a disk that was
formatted and written on using a Kaypro 10. Is that disk readable on
a Kaypro IV or Kaypro 4? How about reading a single-sided Kaypro II
disk on one of the double-sider machines?
Natively, it was highly ROM-dependent as others have noted. However,
I seem to remember a version of one of the interchange programs
(Media Master?) for the Kaypro that could be used to read a wide
range of formats. If you had a 96 tpi drive, the possibilities were
even greater.
Fred might remember...
