I've got processor, memory and a planar board from a Kaypro PC and I've worked
on a bunch that a certain homestudy school included with their course material
around 1987. It wasn't NRI, they gave out a crap Sanyo silver demon. I think it
was ICS.
Anyway they are more closely related to the Zenith planar type machines of the
same period. Made for sure by Kaypro but not very well supported by them.
