I still have my original Kaypro New 2, from 1984; 4Mhz Z-80a processor, 64KB
RAM. it's in the basement, hasn't been used for several years. I have
forgotten most of my CP/M and Z-system. Nor done any compiling etc, since
about 1994-1995.

That's when I got the 486-33 with VLB (VESA Local Bus?).
With MS-DOS 3.3, perhaps. That computer is long gone.

Although its case and power supply now house a Gigabyte mainboard with Cyrix
processor, about 166Mhz (maybe somewhat similar to a Pentium II?). Last used
briefly a few months ago.

Thanks,
Sheldon
