Good Day, my fellow geeks.
Its time I release a prisoner from the "pit" (my overcrowded basement)
It's not that the unit holds no interest nor do I have any connections to that family of machines...
But I actually feel bad for keeping a perfectly good working machine down there, all alone and unloved... some collector somewhere might give it a good home.
Please... think of all the lonely kaypros out there, you can't save them all, but you can adopt this one...
Ok, enough sillyness. Well, probably.
Up for grabs is a Kaypro 1, seems to be fully working, pretty clean.
As title states, it is working and has manuals & disks & transport enclosure.
I am the second owner of this machine, I acquired it from the original owner whom had originally used it as her portable travel machine for work. Then it sat in her basement for ~20 years. I did have the original reciept but think I threw them out.
