Greetings. I have great news! I went out a got a fully functional Kaypro 10! WITH all the manuals and most disks. ALL FOR $10 (even includes zipped velcro case)! Anyways, I still would like to get some stuff for the Osborne, but if anyone out there want's one of mine, it's $50 plus you pay shipping. No docs or disks but I might make copies if I get some for my other O1. I have a feeling that the Kaypro 10 is better than my //e :-( It's nice to have a 10MB drive (true, it's slow. Can I just slip in a 40MB and take advantage of the decreased access time? even if I still get 10MB...) It has WordStar, lots of games, Superterm, etc. installed on drive B0: (I'll have to read about it later) and comes with a 5+1/4" floppy. Quite nice. Has a parallel, serial and a modem port so I don't need cards, like in my Apple... Anyways, as for the O1, it's definitely going to be a security system and I'll use the K10 as a "toy" (read:MAC). Take care. P.S. Is the little fan supposed to be on all the time or just when it gets too hot? Also, the POWER led does not light, but everything works....

Karol,
Leave me a phone number and I will give you a call when I get back
in from offshore. I can probably get you fixed up with a boot disk and
some info on the Osborne 1. Merry Xmas from the middle of the Gulf of
Mexico and a Happy New Year.
