Natively, it was highly ROM-dependent as others have noted.  However, 
I seem to remember a version of one of the interchange programs 
(Media Master?) for the Kaypro that could be used to read a wide 
range of formats.  If you had a 96 tpi drive, the possibilities were 
even greater.

Fred might remember...
