    I went scrounging last week with one of my buddies and we found some
new toys. A Kaypro 2 and a Kaypro II along with a good size pile of Kaypro
software. Both of the Kaypros are in mint condition. I kept the 2 and Bob
kept the II. Upon checking the 2, I found that it has the Micro Cornicopia
Pro-8 ROM. I'm not sure what all it does but it will support up to four 80
track drives in the Kaypro. Now if I can just find that stash of HH 80
track floppy drives!
  
   More checking revealed that it also has the 5 MHz Z-80B speedup from
Micro C and the Micro C enhanced version of CPM 2.2 (CPM 2.2E). It also has
the 88-CoPower card with the 128k daughter board that lets you run MS_DOS
on the Kaypro. All in all, a very nice find!

  Does anyone have the docs on these upgrades? Does anyone have the MS-DOS
that runs on the 88-CoPower card?
