The sticker says 81-478.
The mainboard is assembly #81-809, and has quite a few unstuffed
components in the upper right corner
According to this site:
http://ripsaw.cac.psu.edu/~mloewen/Oldtech/Kaypro/Kaypro1.html
It uses the Universal ROM and must run CP/M 2.2U1
It's unclear to me which of the images on Dave's site would work. I
suppose I can try all of them (the system disks from the KII, the K3*83,
the K4, and the K10), but I'm not sure if I'll know whether the issues
is an system mismatch or a drive issue.
Jim.
