Kaypro for sale near Sacramento

The Kaypro II, a beloved 1980s computer, was famously used by Arthur C. Clarke to write "2010." It featured a Zilog Z80 processor and 64KB of RAM. Though marketed as portable, its 13 kg weight made it more suitable for desktops. Popular in the U.S., it ran on CP/M and was known for its sturdy design and large display. 💻✨

I purchased this #Kaypro 2 CP/M computer from a fellow student when I was in college (and hauled it home on my #stegosaurus) with the caveat that if I didn't need it, it would be returned to him.
Well, I don't need it.
It's had some failures over the years. Most I was able to fix, but now it has an issue in the #display circuitry, and I don't have the necessary tools left to troubleshoot it.
The owner was happy to take it home, however, and I'm happy it went home.

I worked at a music store that used a #Kaypro 10. I knew nothing about it but they hired me for data entry. I asked about a pile of disks that was collection dist and they said they didn't care if I took them. So I acquired C/PM SBasic, CBasic, some word processors, spreadsheet software and more.
Computers went downhill after the #C128 #Commodore128
Zilog is retiring the #Z80 CPU after 48 (!) years. I had no idea it was still in production. This was the first processor I learned to code on (via a Timex Sinclair #ZX81), and used later on Intertec (no one remembers this brand) and #Kaypro computers. Ah, the good old days of non-segmented RAM and memory-mapped video. 🤓
