The prototype evolution of the Kaycomp Machine

	This prototype is unique in that the keyboard has large lettering of "KAYCOMPII" on it. Also the numeric keypad only has 3 columns of keys where the later ones have 4. Likely the keyboard was non-functional since the next version has an obvious ribbon cable connection and this one does not. The contrast knob and reset button appear to be in the upper right corner.
