Robie

"Kaypro produced less than 500 of the tardy, touchy Robies before taking a staggering $3-million writedown on the machines." (The Executive (Southern California), August 1987, pg 21)

	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).

"The Robie has two 2.6-megabyte floppy drives for a total of 5.2 MB of disk storage. In addition, this computer has a real-time clock and an internal 300-baud modem.

Software included with the Robie is the same as for the 2X, plus Kaypro's Master Menu program. MasMenu is a menu-driven front end for CP/M that lets you operate the computer without regard to what programs are in which user areas. MasMenu already knows what is in each user area, so all you need to do is select a program from the menu on your screen."

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
