Kaypro 10

"The Kaypro 10 has been shipped in limited quantities since April (1983) and bulk shipments are soon to come."
(CommuniKay, June 1983)

"As of this writing (late March), 25,000 people have bought KAYPRO Ils, and NLS president Andy Kay expects to sell another 50,000 (including sales of the next computer, the KAYPRO 10) by the end of August."
(San Diego Magazine, May 1983)

"There are no changes here. The Kaypro 10 still has a 10-megabyte Winchester hard disk, one 392K floppy drive, an internal 300-baud modem, and a real-time clock.

The software package for the Kaypro 10 is the same as for the Robie, plus software for backing up your hard disk onto floppy disks."

"Unfortunately the climate-hardened Kaypros referred to in that article were especially manufactured for the purpose. They were Kaypro 10s without any ventilation slots in the chassis, no floppy drives, and special sealing gaskets around the communications ports and CRTs.

Without floppy drives the only way to introduce new programs and download data is through the serial ports. Only a small number of these computers were made as an experiment by Kaypro. They are not available on special order."
