Non-Linear Systems, Inc. (aka Kaypro Computer) made a great many
different machines. The most collectable would be the early CP/M
systems. Their later DOS-based machines were not all that memorable.
These machines include the Kaycomp, Kaypro II, Kaypro IV, Kaypro 1, 2,
2x, 4, 4x, 10, 12, and the Robie. The Kaypro 16 and 16/2 were DOS
machines in Kaypro 10/12 boxes.

Kaypros are great to collect! Parts are available from most electronics
suppliers. A complete technical manual is avaiable from Dave Baldwin
at The Computer Journal (TCJ). Spares can be obtained from any local
Goodwill or flea market. There is no greater satisfaction than that
gotten from canibalizing an old IBM XT to rebuild a Kaypro!

I'm still looking for a Kaypro 4x that needs a good home!
