"Kaypro now has four variations of the high-performance 286i, an IBM PC AT work-alike. The "A" model comes with 512K of RAM and a single 1.2-megabyte drive. The "B" version adds a second high-density drive and the software bundle. The 286i-C has 640K of RAM, a 20-megabyte hard disk and one high-density floppy drive but no software. The top-of-the-line 286i-D has 640K of RAM , one highdensity drive, a streaming tape drive for hard disk backup and the software bundle."

Note: While the marketing shows a black case the versions of the machine we see in the market are white/beige.
