Im using the retronet adapter on my kaypro 2x machine, works well at 1200 baud, im also using an hxc floppy emulator in this setup, however since the terminal setup uses kermit, its limiting on BBS files I can actually get on this machine looking to see if I can overcome that problem.I had a Kaypro when I was 13, but when I got a 386 pc three years later the kaypro was taking up major space in my room. I ended up giving it away to someone.

I have a Pet 2001-8 that needs the belts for the tape drive. I see there's mods to move it up to a 32k machine, butnot sure I'll get much use out of it to justify it.
