Subject: Kaypro 2 info needed...
The following is a message, left on my BBS, from a Kaypro 2 user.
I am reposting here in the hopes that one of the Kaypro gurus
will contact him and offer to help. Take care.

Re: Wow! a CP/M BBS!!!
Wow! That is all I have to say! I haven't seen a CP/M BBS in a
loooong time!! As an introduction, I am living in Fla, and can
only call sporadically... but call I will! I will even upload,
seeing that I have access to several other BBS' around this great
country of ours <snicker>. I am running on a Kaypro 2 with dual
195k FD's, und am communicating using a modified version of MEX
4.1.
I will have questions, seeing as how I am a new CP/M user, and I
will probably drive you crazy with feedback and questions, but,
that's the way I am... To get to the heart of my reason for
contacting anyone I can, I am looking for some way to put a pair
of 360k FD's into a Kaypro2 without killing my computer or
getting LOTS of BDOS errors... is it the BIOS, or my software???
I needs to know!!! If you can help me with this, and carry what I
need, I will purchase said equipment from you!!! I am also
looking for a way to connect a 10 meg HD to this monster (same
question)... I already cut the holes into the case for the FD's
(they are full height) and would appreciate an answer FAST!!! I
also have put off purchasing a Kalok 10 meg HD 'til i could find
someone who isn't ashamed of knowing more about CP/M than the
fact that it is an operating system... I am looking forward to
this, as are a few friends running under 3.0 on commie 128's (I
am on 2.2).
Thank you VERRRY much,
