^G) and the
floppy light is staying on but not spinning. i do get an a:
prompt though. someone mentioned the keyboard controller chip missing, but
it's there. this machine has two half height floppies which i assume
incorrect. would full height pc/xt drives be "correct"? what should i check
now?
Perhaps your keyboard cord is defective? The Kaypro II uses a phone
cord. Make sure the phone cord you are using is RJ14 and not RJ11. RJ14
is four conductor while RJ11 is only 2 conductor.
More preciesly, it uses a headset cord. This is a slightly narrower
connector than
an RJ-11.
As for drives, the 1/2 heighters sound correct, but not original. A pair of
IBM's
should be find, just watch out for the drive select jumpering.
