Hello All --
A friend brought a Kaypro II by the house for repair. It would not boot.
I got it going, but was surprised to discover that it has single-sided
drives (something around 190 K per drive). This is the first time I've
ever touched a "real-live" Kaypro. Can this be upgraded to DSDD?? A
DSDD Kaypro is not a bad machine, but this thing would seem to have limited
usefullness. Anybody know if the ROM upgrades sold by MicroC/Emerald (were
they MicroCode??) will work on a machine like this?? I have applied their
upgrade to a Xerox 820-1, and really like it. Is it worth thinking about
for this machine???
