I want to install a harddrive in my Kaypro 2000+ laptop.
Still looking for Kaypro 2000+ DOS boot disk.
Any guesses on what type and size harddrive to look for? I assume it gets installed in the B drive bay after I remove the second floppy.

Anyway, about 12 of the keys do not work. The are Cherry key switches. They are black. They have a spring, copper contacts and a diode. Only other markings are an "A" on the lower left of the switch housing top; a "80" on the...
Hoping you might have an idea here.
