Very sad to hear of this.  My Kaypro 4-83 occupies a place of honour under my
desk.  It has the nicest keyboard I've ever used on a computer (though that is
a very personal preference).  It was also great fun to use, and while Micro
Cornucopia magazine was in its Kaypro phase, was extremely well supported for
both hardware and software hacking.  In those days (I assume a long white
beard) it was still possible to fiddle with the machine at hardware and BIOS
level, modify the O/S, etc, without devoting *all* your spare time to
computing.

Now, I can't even persuade undergraduate students to borrow it to use for word
processing.
