Kaypro II . . . A "Blast From The Past" !

"The Kaypro II has a 2.5 MHz Zilog Z80 microprocessor; 64 kB of RAM; two single-sided 191-kilobyte 5ΒΌ-inch floppy disk drives (named A: and B: ), and an 80-column, green monochrome, 9" CRT that was praised for its size and clarity (the Osborne 1 had a 5" display)."
