Kaypro announced its decision to discontine manufacturing and marketing the CP/M line in November 1987 in order to "focus its sales and marketing efforts on a smaller group of mainstream technology computers."

The announcment also stated, "The company will continue to provide technical support and will maintain available spare parts to support out-of-warranty needs of [CP/M] end users."

Although there frankly are not a whole lot of Kaypro dealers who still service CP/M Kaypros, the ones who do are quite commited to the CP/M user.
