Since I have no maint docs, does anyone know what
the error
message "System Status 02" mean during a Kaypro 10 boot?
The ROM signs on, CP/m signs on and then it hangs with that message.
ROM 1.9e CP/m V 2.2F
10M ready light is on, Floppy light is on, floppy does not access,
keyboard clicks but no effect. multiple resets return to the same state.
Cheerz and Thanks

According to my Kaypro User's Manual, this error is a "read error". No
more
information than this is given, but I would assume there is a bad spot on
your hard drive on the boot tracks or directory tracks.
If you have a boot floppy, try starting the machine with it, and then see if
you can successfully pull up a directory of the hard drive.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance; I have a fairly complete
library of the original software and documentation which came with the
machine when new, as well as a mostly working Kaypro 10.
BTW, does anyone have a spare hard drive controller card from a Kaypro 10?;
mine seems somewhat flaky when booting up.
