Kaypro 16 Processor Card 81-1230

[jjandersoj]

Hi Folks,

I'm doing a Kaypro 16 restoration. I have come across a processor card board model 81-1230. I can't find this one discussed in the Kaypro Tech Manuals. The Tech manual was published under document 1484-D,E,F. 1884-F seems to be the "latest" floating around.

The first generation Kaypro 16 came with processor card 81-513.

Anybody have any info or insights on what this 81-1230 board is all about?

I know that these style of cards moved forward into the Kaypro 16/2 and Kaypro PC-10.

Thanks. John-A

I suspect after some analysis, this is from the Kaypro PC, using a NEC V20 CPU and a 4/8 Mhz Turbo switch.

If you can share a picture I can compare it to the processor card in my Kaypro PC.

Also John, Were you ever able to tie down some doscumentation on the Kaypro PC or Kaypro 16?

I'm specifically looking for the MSDOS 2.11 Docs. ... yeah, I know.... "Hen's Teeth", Lol

I've been sick the past few days, I'll open my machine when I get home and see what it says on the card.

I have two or three manuals, I know one is just for GW Basic, I think one may be the owners manual for the computer so that may mean I have a DOS manual, I'll check tonight for that too.

Thanks Phogren. Small world.

The Board in my Kaypro PC is identical to yours, 81-1230 REV A

I have 3 Manuals, GW Basic, MS-Dos 3.2, and my Users Guide

I have this computer, the "Kaypro" "PC" v20 on a card. I think I still have the manuals, there were about a dozen of them, gray covers.
