Welcome to Kaypro Journal
This is the home for my notes and findings about Vintage Kaypro machines. My focus began with Z80 Kaypros but now I have a numerous "DOS" based Kaypros as well.
In my collection (as of March 2024) I have over 80 Kaypro Machines.

Kugram and ONKUG
Kugram was the Kaypro User's Group Newsletter. It was issued every other month. There are 5 volumes with 6 releases in each (about a year per volume) except for Volume 5 which has 1 regular release. The second release is just a cover over the newly merged with Scroll newsletter (the newsletter of the W/Pug, Word Processing user group). The third is the "Special KUG Bulletin #1". The fourth and last one I can find is the "Special KUG Bulletin #2".

"KUG's receive periodic mailings and ONKUG, The Official Newsdiskette of Kaypro Users Groups. ONKUG, compiled by KUG Manager Jim Durkin, is full of handy public domain software and interesting text files-a great way to get programs without the expense and hassle of downloading."
