In 2019, I responded to an advertisement for a KayPro 4 computer way out on the eastern edge of Wisconsin, not too far from Manitowoc. Thankfully the machine was in good cosmetic shape, so I bought it and hauled it back to Point. A couple weeks later my life got kinda crazy and remained so until earlier this year. The KayPro had languished in storage until the summer of 2021, when it finally came home.
I knew that it powered on, but lacked a boot disk for it. Likewise, I knew it had RIFA caps on board that were bound to explode if left unchecked, so I never ran it for long. My last effort to work on it was before the last show, but I came up short on that one so it was cut from the roster, as I didn't want to bring anything to the show that "might" set off the smoke alarms.
So, here it is!
...and inside!
