Hi there, I have a Kaypro 4 running the native TERM program for terminal emulation, and I've setup a Raspberry Pi 2 to act as a Linux computer. I can terminal connect to the Pi no problem and that is great. I'm running IRC (Weechat) on the Pi and hence using my Kaypro as a dedicated IRC client through terminal.
I would like to do some word processing on my Kaypro. I love that keyboard and being a touch typist, it would be my preferred machine for writing. The only problem is that I'm not sure I feel all that comfortable saving my work on floppy disks. I believe a better way would be for me to use X/YMODEM to create the document locally, then send a copy of it to a Linux machine or use some cloud backup via my Pi for the files.
This is where I have a problem. I don't have any X/YMODEM software (e.g. Kermit) for the Kaypro. The disks I have seem to have everything BUT that. Since I can't download it from the Internet and I don't have any other computer here with a 5.25" drive that would be able to create one (or at least not one I can setup easily for this), I was wondering if a kind soul here who might have a floppy disk with Kermit and/or other serial communications software would be willing to make a copy and mail me the disk? I'd be more than happy to pay for it.
I'm in Phoenix, so this would be relatively simple for anyone in the US to assist.
If you can help, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
