Robie Prototype Note that the case is white and that the keyboard case looks more like the the other CPM Kaypro keyboards (The top of the case is inset within the base). |
As far as I can tell a Robie has not been sold on eBay in the last 10+ years.
Disks
"You should buy good-quality, high-density diskettes pre- formatted l7-sector 192 TPI. Specify Brown Disk UHR II or the Maxell equivalent. Each diskette is capable of holding 2.6 megabytes of information." (Robie Manual)
Cleaning Disks
"A drive-cleaning disk is needed to keep the drive heads clean and in proper working order. The following are approved: Scotch 7440, Head Computer Products, Perfect Data, Floppiclene." (Robie Manual)
"Responding to requests from Kaypro headquarters and from the field, Drivetec (manufacturer of the Robie disk drives) has approved four head-cleaning disks for use in their drives. Drivetec states:
The following cleaning disks have been evaluated and are recommended for usage on the Drivetec disk drive when head cleaning is deemed necessary:
1. Scotch #7440
2. Head Computer Products
3. Perfect Data
4. Floppiclene
