Kaypro

The Kaypro computers are CP/M compatible, so the same base library can be used, but extra functionalities are available.

Kaypro II (and other 83 models)

Example compile line:

zcc  +cpm -subtype=kaypro83 -create-app program.c

A .dsk file in Kaypro format is produced. This can be loaded into an emulator or transferred onto a physical disc as required.

The 83 models support primitive graphics, two graphics modes are available:

• Mode 0: 80x24 solid characters. Though borders are visible around each "pixel"
• Mode 1: 80x48 pseudo graphics. This mode takes advantage of the weight characteristics of the Kaypro font to provide a slightly higher resolution.

The generic console is available on the Kaypro-83 machines.
