Welcome to Kaypro Journal
This is the home for my notes and findings about Vintage Kaypro machines. My focus began with Z80 Kaypros but it has expanded to include "DOS" based Kaypros and Non-Linear Systems units as well.
In my collection (as of March 2024) I have over 100 Kaypro/NLS Machines.

I was in Bend, Oregon in 2026 and stopped by the place listed as the business address of MicroCornucopia in it's business listing with the state.
155 NW Hawthorne, Bend, Oregon 97701
Micro Cornucopia, Inc. is a Domestic Business Corporation organized under the laws of the State of Oregon. The business was filed on November 2, 1984 and is currently listed as Ina: Inactive with the Oregon Office of the Secretary of State. The official file number for this entity is 204655-14.
The principal office address is located at 155 Nw Hawthorne Bend, OR 97701.
The Registered Agent on file is C.E. Francis, located at 1199 Nw Wall St Bend, OR 97701.
The company's leadership includes David J Thompson, who serves as President and is associated with an address at 1259 Nw Iowa Bend, OR 97701 and Sandra S Thompson, who serves as Secretary and is associated with an address at 1259 Nw Iowa Bend, OR 97701.
(Bizapedia listing 2026)
Note that the home address for David and Sandra has sold at least once since then so it is no longer valid.
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."
