If he had a KA, I would have tracked him down and beaten him to a pulp to lay hands on it--and we're friends. Nope. They moved to Albuquerque as soon as the deal with MITS was done. (Ed Roberts hired Paul as his VP of software development on the spot.) They rented time from the Albuquerque school district, whose -10 had unused capacity. (Development of the BASIC interpreter was famously done using the Harvard KA-10.) They went from renting time on others' systems to owning their own when they moved from Albuquerque back to Seattle. Their first was a KS under TOPS-20. I have all this not merely from Paul's book, but from another friend who was Microsoft employee #11 (who appears in the famous picture) and others like David Bunnell at our grand opening.
