Thanks Gene, I think it's kind of a moot point though. While I was working on getting
the remaining working floppy drive setup for an image write, one of the caps on the power
supply board went POW! and everything went dark. Guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Anybody need any Kaypro II parts? (less the power supply and the bad floppy drive of
course...) I'm done messing with it.
No no no, caps are cheap and easy to obtain! Go to
Digi-Key or Mouser and find one of the same dimensions
with an equal or higher working voltage and capacitance.
Should take you maybe half an hour of work, and the
actual replacement is super-simple.
