Wow.  So if it emulates Kaypro will it run the Rembrandt graphical software
that I seem to recall came out for Kaypro near the end?  (I might be mistken
about that).

We used to have these shoebox-sized tan boxes called Alspas that had the
ubiquitous Z80A at 4MHz and 64K or ram that was so popular at the time. 
Late late 70's to early 80's, I think.

They came bundled w/ CBASIC and WordStar 3.3 (why I use and love Joe/jstar
to this day).  Did not have Supercalc or any spreadsheets.

The boss ran his small business on a handful of these things and I wrote
some of the housekeeping software for billing, lable printing and reports.

Ah, those were the days.....
