 > be helpfull. Do you have some, ode do you know
someone who does ? 
...
  Yes.  Don Maslin, who reads this list, will send you
CP/M and a bunch of
 other disks.  He has almost every CP/M disk format known to man -- he does
 a great job. 
Do you have his eMail address, so I could mail him ?

  There were a couple different models of the Kaypro 4
(Kaypro reused their
 model numbers even after making major internal design changes -- I detest this
 practice of reusing model numbers; so far Kaypro is the only company I've seen
 that does this).  I think each needs a different version of CP/M. 
I think this is better then just anounce every other month a
'new' model, while they changed only som screws.

...
  Take the case off, and look for a number like 8x-xxx-x
on one or more of the
 chips on the motherboard.  The last x may be a letter (probably A) or a number
 or might not be there at all.  Kaypro's part-numbering system was rather
 erratic, it seems.

  	81-240		original (1983? maybe 1982) Kaypro 4
 	81-232		1983 Kaypro 4
 	81-184		1984 Kaypro 4 (a.k.a. Kaypro 4'84)
 	81-292		1984 Kaypro 4 (newest ROM version for this machine)
 	81-296		Kaypro 4X (with super-high-density floppies)
 	81-146		character ROM
 	81-187		character ROM
 	81-235		character ROM 
On the Backside ther's some type number: 81-015 (if I remember
right) I don't know if it's for the whole machine or what and
can't see it fiting in your sceme.

Thank you
Hans
