Start with a Kaypro II.

It has a modification to run at 5.0 MHz as well as the standard 2.5 MHz.

One of the floppies has been replaced with a hard drive, partitioned as 
drives A/B/C/D.  The remaining floppy is drive E.  I have the original 
floppy that was displaced by the hard drive.

It has been modified to have a fan.

It has a RAM disk installed in it as well.

It sports the Advent Turborom. 
Sounds like my 4/84!  Rather than a hard disk I used a 3.5" floppy
internal and one in the 5.25 slot via an adaptor along with the HH
5.25 48tpi for compatability.  I alsohave the Advent turborom with
the personality card so it knows 96tpi 80tr DSdd. Plus mine has 
the handyman rom/ piggyback board with RTC.  Sweet machine to use
and tote around for effect.
