Subject: Found a Kaypro II and Osbourne Executive, no software or books! and I NEED Them!!!
Hello,
This weekend I found a great deal on two computers, and am currently
looking
for any information or software, so I can start using them.
The first one is:
KAYPRO ( says KAYPRO II on the keyboard and on the side )
gray "box" with blue stips, and logo
two 5 1/4 disk drives
looks like one parallel port, and one serial.
and also:
OSBOURNE Exectutive
white shock res plactic case, w detachable keyboard.
two 5 1/4 disk drives
one serial I/O port
one serial Printer port
one IEEE port
both computers have dates on them for about 1981, and they both are
"portable"
computers, ie the keyboard attaches to the main console, both have
two 5 1/4 in
floppies, and the monitor in the main case.
They also both display a screen saying: insert disk in drive A: and
press return.
( so they work!! )
also if any one knows any specs for each machine that would also be
most excellent!
I can't wait to toy around with these!!
Regards,
- Lonnie-
