Sorry, the software was *just* spoken for. Just missed by about 5 minutes. William

Offered free to good home, my 5.25" floppy collection of MS-DOS software comprised mostly of MS-DOS system disks, Turbo Pascal, C, debuggers, and related along with Microsoft C and QuickC. This is a non-specific list but the collection contains the 1987 Turbo languages release including Turbo...

No, not directly. What you saw was one of their subsequent "marketing" efforts that was generated by God knows whom. They will often do such things to stir traffic. For example, if you click on some items common in nature, you sill get subsequent emails offering similar items that hype similar...

Folks, Heartily sorry that I could not hook up with anyone who might have wanted these. I waited and waited and got no response so I turned to eBay. Turns out they went to some Canadian guy who was much less appreciative than you all are. Oh, and the use of "RARE" was eBay's marketing -- not...

Will ship media mail CONUS (i.e., lower 48) and should be about $17 anywhere. W. Phinizy Southern California

Just a note to let you know that the "first" buyer will be taking the computer. Thank you all for your interest and patience.

I am making space and have a very clean and functional Kaypro One that I wish to will to a collector who would appreciate it. I also have a lot of CP/M and MS-DOS software and documentation and floppy diskettes, etc. I want to see these get into the hands of those who appreciate it. I ask that...

Gentlemen: THESE HAVE BEEN SPOKEN FOR. I regret to say that one of my friends locally expressed an interest in my two Kaypros and will be taking them off my hands. I appreciate the inquiries and am sorry I was unable to consummate an arrangement witythat we could not get them to you. Thank...

I am in Fountain Valley which is next to Huntington Beach. To further help you zero in, I am off the Brookhurst exit of the 405 Freeway just above KSNA (John Wayne Airport). Go to Google Maps and look for Mile Square Park and I am just below that on Warner between Ward and Euclid. ..aw hell...

Flippers would be MORE than welcome. There are a lot of good parts in these machines and, if they can go to people wanting to revive other Kaypros, then that's fine with me.

I have two Kaypro 2x units who would be classified on eBay as "for parts or repair". Neither function. On one unit, the A: drive will not boot with a system inserted. The second WILL boot but will not log onto the B: drive. Otherwise they're in decent shape with only age scratches -- BUT NO...

*sigh* I give up. Sorry for the dual response! The latency and caching on this site are a mystery to me.

I guess my previous response didn't get applied. Yours is a good idea, however my interest in maintaining the authentic appearance of this beast is second to being able to get back to the land of the living. There's a history with this machine involving my tracking down the problems to the PS...

Actually, that is a terrific idea! although it robs one of the option of "organizing" that nasty wiring harness in place of the rat's nest it was/is when it came from Solana Beach! Thanks! I'll give it some thought!

Firstly, hope you are feeling better. Wonder if you got around to finishing this up as yet? I have a 2X that was failing and have tracked it down to it's power supply. (Well, I am 99% confident that's the problem.) I encountered this thread and another that recommended the Mean Well T120B...
