A colleague of mine is looking for a boot disk for a Kaypro 4 '84. He
says :
"I have a Kaypro 4 (83), Kaypro 4(84), and a Kaypro 10.
The boot disks for all three are mutually incompatible.
What I still need is a boot disk for Kaypro 4(84)."
(These are 5.25 inch floppies, of course. An actual disk would be great,
but he says that if somebody wanted to send a disk image, he could work
with that, as long as he knew what program was used to create it.)
Can anyone email me images of all boot disks or direct me to appropriate
web site? I will reimburse postage/disk costs if someone wishes to send
physical disks instead of emailing images.

Did anyone ever set up an archive for cpm disks?
There was a lot of talk about it a while ago when Maslin's archine
went away. Anyone attempting to re-create it yet?

It looks like I'm about to embark upon such a project... :)

I've been waiting for word back on the new classiccmp.org design, putting
the pieces in place would be no problem.

Gary, I set up space for you on the classiccmp server to put up the cpm
archive back on 6/15/05. There's no reason to wait on the new classiccmp.org
website design. Back on 6/20/05 I had said "You can start uploading any
files you want now, making directories, html
content, etc. Enjoy."
Let me know if you ran into any trouble I'm not aware of!

Alrighty, I was just wanting it to all match up =]
Now people need to send me stuff! Last time I put out a request I got a
whopping one response!
Email's good, gmail can hold whatever you throw at it :)

Perhaps because you haven't advertised this well enough. Not many people
are going to respond to a message entitled "Re: Kaypro boot disk." by
sending you disk images ;)
I suggest a formal campaign to solicit system disk images, with e-mail
messages, usenet postings, etc. I'll even post a news item to the front
page of the Vintage Computer Festival website if you'll send me details of
the project and the plan. You might also get Evan Koblentz to add a note
to his next Computer Collector Newsletter.

Poke me with information about what all you can do, and help me work with
the whole 'formal' thing

New subject: HP TV adapter of some sort
Jay,
I started found this item that HP'ers may be interested in. It didn't
have a photo attached to it last night, but does now. dont know much
but it does seem to be the correct vintage for hp21xx type box.

I had a fair number (maybe around 8) of these tv interface cards for the
21MX machines. I think I gave most if not all of them to Bob Shannon, didn't
figure I'd ever want one. I have the datasheet on them somewhere....

Seems like it would be an interesting interface. I wouldn't mind
having one to add a bitmap display to my HP 1000. Might try to grab
one of these.

Looks like you need 2 cards to get grey scale or limited color and 3
cards to get multi colors.

Correct, but a single card will give you a black and white bit-map.

These boards are very easy to drive from a software perspective. They even
take the same
X/Y point-plot data format that is used by the 12555A dual D/A converter
boards.
