I never got a lot of response the couple of times I asked about Baydel
multi-function card boot ROMs. I put it down to having obscure

I certainly didn't put it down to disinterest or ignorance or anything
like that. I just assumed that no-one answered because no-one knew.

And that's my point. This is a Classic
Computer list, yet no one on the
list is able to respond to this guy's Kaypro 10 question. Perhaps the
question was obscure, but this is truly the playground of obscurity. I
would venture that 10 years ago Dodd's post would have received at least
a few responses, as there were a lot of CP/Mers then on the list. They
seem to have mostly moved on, and the composition of the list has
changed.
Except, to my way of thinking, his question had nothing to do with
CP/M (I've got a pretty good grasp on that). His concern was with a
rather specific third-party ROM for the Kaypro.
