Hello, I'm looking for a HD and controller for a KAYPRO II. I have no idea what to buy or where to look. I'd like something that would also run in a 386, if thats possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- "In this world you must be OH so smart or OH so pleasant... I recommend pleasant"----> Elwood P. Dowd Lockheed Eng. and Sci. Co./Nasa Larc|J.

Chuck Stafford sells a hard drive kit for the Kaypro. It is the left over stock from Advent and includes a TurboROM. His home phone is (916) 483-0312 (voice) or you can write to him at 4000 Norris Avenue, Sacramento CA 95821. Not very likely you will find a hard drive system that will run in both a Kaypro and an 80386 MS-DOS box. Are you considering pulling the drive from one box and putting it in the other now and again? -- CHRIS MCEWEN - via FidoNet node 1:106/365 UUCP: uunet!nuchat!farwest!601!CHRIS.MCEWEN INTERNET: CHRIS.MCEWEN@f601.n106.z1.FIDONET.ORG

Yes I would like something that could be switched over to the 80386 machine if I end up not using the KAYPRO. From the responses I've gotten A HD for the KAYPRO would be pretty expensive. -- "In this world you must be OH so smart or OH so pleasant... I recommend pleasant"----> Elwood P.

I said this before, but I don't know if it ever got out onto the net, but if anyone prefers to e-mail him, send it to me and I'll make sure he gets it as he's not on the net. Chuck Stafford and I belong to the same user group (I don't own a Kaypro, but I'm still a CP/M freak!) and are good friends. > Not very likely you will find a hard drive system that will run in both a > Kaypro and an 80386 MS-DOS box.

I have the feeling that he means something to the effect of a "Uniform for hard disks" as it were, which there ain't no such thing as yet...
