Hello Kaypro fans,
I'd like to put a Kayplus83 rom into a Kaypro II so
I can add double sided
drives and have all the other nice stuff that the >rom provides. It's the
early model with an 81-110B1 motherboard that needs the wiring for the
floppy side 2 added. The >Advent Turborom manual has the wiring mods
needed for side 2 access. The Kaypro II comes with a 2K eprom and the
is,
should the movcpm program from another >Kaypro model work on a II or are
they all specific to 1 model. TIA.
Kayplus83 is an 8K. Again the Turborom manual
tells how to access a 4K
rom and adding access to the A12 line should >make the
8K rom work. I
think that I've got that part all worked out. To make the Kayplus boot
disk, you have to have a >system size of 62K or smaller. My Kaypro II disk
has a 64K system. When I run movcpm.com to change the system >size, the
program hangs. I also tried the version of movcpm that comes with the
Kaypro 4 and that hangs also. So >question (1) is, has anyone gotten this
program to work or is there another easy way to do this? There's a blurb
on the net >about the Kaypro 1 movcpm not working !
right but I didn't see anything about the Kaypro II version. Question (2) Ralph
I was using a boot disk made from a downloaded image. After a long search,
I found a copy of the original SBasic boot disk that I got when I bought the
Kaypro II. Movcpm worked properly and I was able to sysgen a 60K system so
the KayPlus configuration program worked. Thanks for all the help.
Ralph
