I have 3 kaypros [ a 2, II and a 4/84] and all were pickups for free.
Good machines all and the 4/84 has Advent turborom, handyman rom,
1mb ramdisk, and the Advent personality board. All that in the 4/84 makes
it the most useful of the group and the fastest.
I still use the 4/84 along with my AmproLB+ and the hot rodded NS* S100
machine.

A fellow has a Kaypro II here he wants an offer
on. There are manuals and a
modem, cables, works, floppies and high expectations.
Any idea what to offer him?
I see numbers from 50 to 600 on epay, but figure this is a the low end.
He was asking 400, and is possibly the first owner. If I find out it is an
estate sell out I can probably handle it, but if it is an original owner, I
figure i should have a good idea what to offer with some backing.
Looking at "completed" epay sales Kaypro IIs are selling for about $60
with Software or free shipping. Non running ones as low as $1. I
always search "completed" sales to see what things are actually
bringing. I ignore asking prices.
