Hello all:
I inquired:
How can I transfer CP/M files from my PC to a Kaypro?
Fred Cisin replied:
There is software for the [DOUBLE SIDED] Kaypro to
read PC 360K diskettes.
Cool -- I'm in the process of obtaining a K-10 and I assume it has
double-sided drives.
There is software for PC to write Kaypro diskettes.
There are many such
programs, some shareware, some commercial.
Would you be so kind as to point a Kaypro novice in the direction of these
programs?
Thanks,
Glen Goodwin

THAT's an easy one:

If you can find an old original copy of it somewhere, I'll upgrade for
folks on this list for free, even from the unauthorized copies from a
certain publisher.
There exist a few others besides mine. 22Disk seems to be the primary one
of the shareware (possibly on simtel?)

I inquired:
I don't know where to find that software, but Don Maslin might know.
MicroSolutions got their start making "Uniform" on the Kaypro. But they
seem to have moved on and abandoned their roots.

In order of preference, I would recommend 22DISK to read/write/format
Kaypro (and many other CP/M disks) on a PC. It is available from the
developer at www.sydex.com as a demo download. Registration brings the
addition of many other CP/M machines as well.
Next would be the software to read PC disks on the Kaypro. This tends to
be slow and cannot handle PC directories.
Last would be the communications package and a null modem. It works, but
is REALLY slow!
The hard drives in Kaypro 10s are likely to be most anything that is at
least 10mb and has at least 4 heads, and 306 cylinders. Any ST-225 clone
is a drop in replacement, but you get to use only 50% of the drive unless
you get a third party ROM such as the TurboROM. TCJ has these and the
relevant software.
Given the choice, take the 10/84. It has somewhat improved graphics
capability over the 10/83. Try to avoid the so-called U-ROM version,
though. They were not the answer to a maiden's dreams as Kaypro hoped.
