Subject: The guy with the Osborne1...
Greetings. I have great news! I went out a got a fully
functional Kaypro 10! WITH all the manuals and most
disks. ALL FOR $10 (even includes zipped velcro case)!
Anyways, I still would like to get some stuff for the
Osborne, but if anyone out there want's one of mine,
it's $50 plus you pay shipping. No docs or disks but
I might make copies if I get some for my other O1.
I have a feeling that the Kaypro 10 is better than my //e :-(
It's nice to have a 10MB drive (true, it's slow. Can I just
slip in a 40MB and take advantage of the decreased access time?
even if I still get 10MB...)
It has WordStar, lots of games, Superterm, etc. installed
on drive B0: (I'll have to read about it later) and comes
with a 5+1/4" floppy. Quite nice. Has a parallel, serial and
a modem port so I don't need cards, like in my Apple...
Anyways, as for the O1, it's definitely going to be a
security system and I'll use the K10 as a "toy" (read:MAC).
Take care.
P.S. Is the little fan supposed to be on all the time or just
when it gets too hot? Also, the POWER led does not light, but
everything works....
