After many months, my Kaypro 2 is finally up and running! Weighing in at around 30 lbs, with a 4 Mhz Z-80 processor, 64kb of RAM, (upgraded!) dual 360kb floppy drives, and the rock-solid CP/M 2.2 operating system, this box is a lean, mean computing machine. NYCR-BBS, anyone?
This brings back the memories! I used to love to get my copy of Micro Cornucopia and try the hacks they explained. I over clocked my Kaypro and even added extra RAM that could be banked in to be used as a fast RAM drive with an assembly RSX.
My Kaypro is long gone but thanks for the bringing up the memories.

Oh man, time to call up Julie Stiles.
[…] Update: Despite this new rig, I’m still kind of jealous of NYCR. […]
Lovely! Kaypro. The “pro” is for professional.
It’s so beautiful… it brings tears to my eyes
So, will there be a Vintage Computer Group as part of NYC Resistor? It would be great to meet up with other vintage computer hobbyists..
That is SO high tech!!!
