Hi everyone,

I've come across this advertisement locally, but I don't know too much on pre-386/486 stuff. I know that some Kaypros are valuable and worthwhile, but is this particular one of any interest? It should be a DOS 8088 with 512k of RAM. It has some expansion cards, as well. Would it have any open ISA slots?

Thank you!

Yes $50 is a very good price. For a working unit like that, you will have to pay 150+, maybe 200+. The tube is in very good condition and the exterior and interior are good condition too.

The only thing that works (somewhat but not really) against it, is that it is not a very early model (it is towards the end of Kaypro line). A Kaypro II for example working like that would fetch upwards of $300.

Interesting. Thank you very much for the assistance!
