  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. :-) 
 Thanks for the offer. For the most part, I think MOST necessary parts of
 the Kaypro service manuals are out there - 1484-d, -e, and -f versions.
 Can;t hurt to check against what you have, though. 
 
I recall getting some back when somebody (Micro-Cornucopia?) was selling them,
and they didn't happen to include the power supplies.  Though in much of what
I encountered resoldering at the connector usualy took care of the problem.
I remember sending a couple of sets of them out to people,  like Jack Brown
at FOG,  when they were still a going concern.
  On the EPROM, never heard of THAT one, but I can hunt
around in my
 Pro-Files magazines and see if any ads pop-up, and any info. I HAVE found
 ads for the HandyMan, but that's about all!
 If you have the ability, dump the EPROM, and I can take a peek. 
It would take some doing,  I think,  particularly since I don't know what chip
it is without peeling back the label.
  Is it a 24-pin, or 28-pin EPROM? 
It's a 28-pin part.
