Tony,
You want to check with "Sharkonwheels" who posts on
_www.vintage-computer.com_ (http://www.vintage-computer.com) . He is very
knowledgeable on Kaypros "after" 1983.
He uses and has info on Advent products.
I am more involved with the 1982 / 1983 versions and post under GADFRAN.
My website _www.kayprosts.org_ (http://www.kayprosts.org) may give you
some other productive contacts to explore.
He may also know of HandyMan.
You may want to check just what version of K4 you have. Main large chips
on main board will help - e.g. U43 and U47, etc.
He will be asking you about them and other aspects.
He is very familiar with the K10's.
I'm not sure of the dates on the stuff I have...
And perhaps you could say anything pertinent about this eprom I seem to have
sitting on my desk here? Label says "Multi TurboRAM v4.4" with copyright
dates of 1985, 1988, and "Digtial Arts" on it. I *think* that's for a
Kaypro, but am not 100% sure of that.
If it's of interest, I have some pretty complete service data on Kaypro 8-bit
stuff, including the schematics of multiple versions of the power supplies
used in them, though I'm not sure it was necessarily all of them. I
remember California DC (?), Astec, and I'm not recalling the others
offhand, but they're around someplace. _This_ stuff I don't want to sell,
but I might be persuaded to make some photocopies. :-)
