"We just started shipping the KAYPRO 4 which has double sided floppy disks for more memory."
(CommuniKay, June 1983)
"Like the Kaypro II, which competes directly against Osborne computers, the new Kaypro 4 contains 64,000 bytes, or characters, of internal memory and is powered by an 8-bit microprocessor. But the new model contains twice the memory capacity in its disk drives, which transfer information for permanent storage on floppy disks. The new drives have a maximum capacity of about 800,000 characters."
