Thanks! I think I may have some information on the Kay Pro company. A friend
of my grand fathers gave me lots of computer equipment when I was about 15
years old. One of the things he gave me was a KayPro II, the one with the
two floppy drives and the Hercules monochromatic screen. I told him I liked
Kay Pro because of our old 8088 KayPro PC-10 I think it was.. (had an
NEC-V20 processor and the usual XT stuff). He said that the owner of the
company, after slowly losing profits, disbanded the company. He said that he
formed a new company making CB Radios under a different name. I do not
remember the name of the company though.

Todd,
1987 Pontiac Fiero SE / V6
1985 Pontiac Fiero GT
1984 Pontiac Fiero 2m4
1982 Pontiac TransAm V8

Only 100 or so postings a day huh? Well you will soon get used to the
increased volume of email on this list. :-)

Welcome to the list. I and the other three people here besides myself that
are interested in KayPro welcome you. I threw my 2X-84 away in 1995. Wish
I would have kept it. They are selling on eBay now for $35-40. :-)

I have thought of trying to collect some information on KayPro and make a
dedicated Web page. Problem is I do not have any material or knowledge of
the company and can't find any here in the boonies.

A short time ago I remarked how the Coleco Adam still had venders, User
Groups, and many Web pages while the KayPro has almost disappeared.

Welcome Aboard, oh, it is your turn to buy the next round, :-)

The astonishing thing was that the newsperson managed to say "Authorities
*suspect* alcohol was involved" with a straight face.
