Motherboard
While I haven't seen an actual Kaypro 386 machine, I have the User Guide for one. I saw on The Retro Web a reference to the Intel 301 motherboard also as the "KayPro/NLS 386 E". After close investigation of the jumper settings referred to in the user guide and comparing them to the motherboard it does appear to be the same board.
