[comp.os.cpm] Need Kaypro 2 Boot Disks

curt@hoptoad.uucp (Curt Mayer) (02/26/91)

I have been given a Kaypro portable without boot disks.
It says on the back panel, Kaypro 2, with an X on a sticker
after the 2. It has 2 half height 5.25 floppies.

. what is a kaypro 2x? 
. can it be expanded with a hard disk? 
. how about 96tpi drives?
. Would a turborom do me any good?
. is this one with the slow video (software scroll)?
. Does dosdisk work on this thing?
. can bios source be gotten?

answers, pointers, etc, will be greatly appreciated.

I hate to do this, but ME TOO!  A friend got a Kaypro 2 from his church,
and all it has is WordStar on a bootable disk.  No FORMAT, no PIP, no 
NOTHING!
My day phone is (402) 291-8300 x 150, and evenings (402)553-4389

Thanks for ANY responses.
Marc
