The Advent and several other replacement ROMs allow you to use very large
hard drives, up to 120 megs or so. I have a 10 meg that came in my K10
and a Microscience HH-1090 80 meg (of which I get 56 megs due to a
limitation in the Advent rom).
Most people I talk with think the Advent rom is the best. They have gone
out of business, but Jay Sage (who might just be listening here ;-) is
supposed to be getting set up to sell them for Bridger Mitchell.

I have 13 messages in the last 2 days, Phillip. It may be your feed is
down, in which case you might not get this message either ;-)

At least I am here, still looking for a working copy of the VT-52 emulator
(kp-vt52.lbr) for Kaypro 10, or other high speed VT-something emulator for
it. Have been quiet because of the lack of a good (or 'good') terminal
Most of the floppy varieties I have seen are jumperable to allow the
MOTOR-ON signal to control the motor without also using DS. That is,
MOTOR-ON turns ALL motors on. This should eliminate any problems
with motor spin-up delays when moving from drive-to-drive.
In some of the older 8" systems we have about, I set the 8" drives
to all load the head at the same time (whenever head-load was asserted)
to eliminate head settling delay when moving from drive to drive.

Subject: Replacement floppy drive for Kaypro 10?
Message-ID: <1991Feb20.082251.18143@santra.uucp>
What kind of floppy drive should I put to my Kaypro 10 as a replacement,
will a standard 360 kb Teac (as used in IBMPC world) do?
PS. I changed the K10's standard superslow harddisk to a Seagate 225
yesterday, the speed is just superb, and the 225 is even a slow one. I
really must admit that the K10 is a hell to open. Does anybody know the
function of a small circuit board between the monitor and disks, attached to
the disk system? There are just 2 chips and 2 cables, one going to the cpu
board and one going to the disk controller board - it looks pretty weird, as
one definately could have integrated the 2 chips to cpu or controller
