I had no idea Kaypros were so valuable.

I think that this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracor is the tracor, inc
that made the test rig that kaypro was part of, possibly something for the
military.

the guy who listed it didn't do his logic right.  A Kaypro II s/n 3
is arguably worth some amount, maybe more than a pedestrian
one is, and if it is primo I agree, I'd pop a couple of hundred
or so in a good mood.

But the s/n 00003 he is gaga over is for the test set the Kaypro
was part of.  Probably some specialty house who had two lame
attempts as s/n 1 and 2,and this might be the last.  Nothing to
do with anything special at kaypro.

total miss by whoever listed it.  I agree $50 or so on a good day.

where is dk these days, he needs to drop a few thousand on
this one.
