I'm thinking of purchasing a Kaypro 10, but first I'd like to know
if there were any good terminal programs for it? I just want to have
one which is capable of handling at least 2400bps, but speeds like
4800 and 9600 would be almost necessary also. It should be
vt100-compatible also, so, some kind of a vt100 terminal emulator. I
don't need any download protocols or such stuff, because there's
always MEX for things like downloading, redialing etc.
Please e-mail me if you have such a program (it should be
PD), or know where I could get one. Otherwise that Kaypro'll be
almost useless...
PS. Any experiences of having a 30-70 Mb hard-disk installed on
Kaypro 10? How to do it and are the costs reasonable?

I just want to have E-mailing you did not seem to work, so I am posting instead. I am not sure about GOOD terminal programs for the Kaypro 10 and 84 series, but I used to use a home-brew one which emulated VT100. (This was before I made a termcap entry for the Kaypro 2/2x/4/10 on our un*x system.) It's quite stupid in that all it does is talk to the serial port, exiting via two ^_ if I remember correctly. Baud is set via the command line at startup. If this is what you are looking for, let me know. In addition, I believe that simtel20 may also have one for the Kaypro on-line already. Keith would know more about that. >PS. Any experiences of having a 30-70 Mb hard-disk installed on >Kaypro 10? How to do it and are the costs reasonable? Well, you can't do it without replacing the ROM that came with it. There are two aftermarket ROMs that are decent: KayPLUS by MICROCode and TurboROM by Plu*Perfect. Both have the capability to support up to two 64M drives (the limit of the WD-1002 card). The format/install programs are included in the KayPLUS package and are available for an additional fee for the TurboROM. I can tell you where to get either of these, but I suggest comparing them first to see which suits your needs better. I have a table put out by CTM (?) in an article some years back comparing four ROMs for the Kaypro, which I can post if you like. As far as the cost - assuming the K10 already has a 10M hard drive (as it should) - you only need buy a hard drive which has a standard ST506 interface (besides the ROM). -Mitch

If this is what you are looking for, let me know. Sure that's better than nothing, and my current vt100 emulator isn't much better; as far as I have understood the SVI X'press's vt100 is quite machine-dependent. Any sources available etc? Please mail the program and/or sources to me if you find either of them. >In addition, I believe that simtel20 may also have one for the Kaypro >on-line already. Keith would know more about that. How to connect or receive files from simtel20? I've got an access to both unix and vms-systems, any possibility to reach simtel20 by earn, in real-time? Does receiving files/directories/other info work via uucp mail in unix-systems? >Well, you can't do it without replacing the ROM that came with it.

I'm working in the university's computer store so ordering the roms won't be difficult, but a telefax number etc would be of great help. That CTM-table could be very helpful, so if you find it please enclose it in mail. As the capacity of those two 64mb drives seems to suit fine for me, that rom replacement thing seems to be the ideal solution. >-Mitch In theory mail should come here when using jjj@hupu.hut.fi as my mail address... -- Joni J{rvenkyl{ " Menu - lastenruoat " ) Mul on niin mielet|n ik{v{ ( Perustie 21 A 1 " -Laulava lasagne " ) en edes istua jaksa ( 00330 Helsinki " -Viekkaat vermisellit " ) etk| s{ n{{ et mul on niin ( 90-484378 " -Uljas uunikala " ) mielet|n ik{v{?
