I got to use CP/M briefly on a DEC Rainbow machine in the 80's. It was very similar to DOS but IIRC there were quite a few differences at the detail level. I remember seeing some ads for Kaypro's but I don't think I ever saw one in real life... What sort of issues are you having with the serial port? You might need to jumper the flow control pins if you can't disable flow control. I'm sure the pinout is documented? I had to deal with lots of oddball serial ports way back when, I might even have some breakout/jumper RS232 adapters lying around.
- jimmaswell 2y agoI finally figured it out today, I needed to use the modem port and a another different pinout. I'd been reading about the wrong kaypro before I think. I checked the pins with an oscilloscope and read the manual to figure it out. Pretty satisfying that it's working and it's also nice to finally close up this breakout connector and wire I got a while ago to make the "Kaypro cable".
