Profitplan were bundled with the system. Later WordStar was also available.
As usual with Kaypro, the model names logic is quite dramatic to resolve. Several
Kaypro "2" were marketed :
- In 1984 a new Kaypro 2 (refered as Kaypro 2'84) is introduced. It has two SS/DD
half-height floppy drives, a Z-80A running at 4.0 MHz, 2 serial ports and
rudimentary graphics (through graphic characters).
- The same year, the Kaypro 2X is released. Very similar to a Kaypro 2'84 but with
DS/DD half-height drives.
- Still in 1984, in order to be compatible with IBM software, a special version was
marketed with an Intel 8088 CPU instead of the Z80A. It was called the Kaypro II
Plus 88!
- In 1985 another Kaypro 2 refered as "New 2" is sold. It is basically an old 2X
motherboard, with one or two DS/DD floppy drives, but no 300 baud modem
previously found on the 2X. It comes with just CP/M and Wordstar for software.
- And to spice up a bit things, Kaypro decides to rename its Kaypro 4'84 as Kaypro
2X (sometimes also known as 2X MTC), thus dropping the previous 2X model!
