Hi, FYI-- I couldn't see what your were doing in Drive A, but first of all, the disc you insert must have CP/M v. 2.2 on it (ie, must be a bootable disk).. Then after you insert a bootable disk, just closing the drive door should make the computer read the disc and boot. If not, try running a wet-type 5.25" drive cleaner disk through for a minute or two, then try again. if still nothing, the drive may need to be aligned, or the disk drive controller chip (#1793) may be defective. Good luck!

The Kaypro II had SSDD floppy drives. That is 191k. You could make a floppy disk a "flippy" by notching the other side. Then you could get 191k per side. . Also, you can't just "boot" on any diskette. It needs to have the OS on it (think of old MS Dos days when you had to format with /s to make it bootable).

Hey. A lot of times the microchips oxidize over time and it doesn't work any more without reseating them I have my Dad's 2x from 85. Unfortunately, the drives are going on it.

"A lot of times the microchips oxidize over time and it doesn't work any more without reseating them "
That doesn't seem to be a problem here in the southwest - at least, I've never seen it.

You scared me at 0:28 with your "HEY" nonsense.

Sorry man. It wasn't intentional.
It made me laugh listening to it again - I didn't realize it was such a shock.
