So Rust was not my first choice either (I'm a C guy), but since this 
project was an extension of another GitHub project, I figured it was a 
good excuse for me to learn the language, and I have to say it's a 
pretty robust language once you get past the fiddly code-safe requirements.

On the building, there are binaries for Windows, Mac and Linux in the 
repository if you don't want to build it yourself.

To build the project, you just need to install Rust.  It's pretty 
straightforward for any OS. Go here and follow the instructions: 
https://rust-lang.org/tools/install/

Note that Linux has a few additional apt-get items to install (see the 
readme.md).

Once Rust is installed, do this:

1. git clone https://github.com/eneilson-zz/izkaypro.git
2. cd izkaypro
3. cargo build --release
4. Run the newly created "izkaypro" binary in ./target/release/

The default machine is a Kaypro 4-84 with two disk drives, RTC and a 
serial port.  You can launch different machines with the --model 
directive.  Here are some examples:
- izkaypro --model kaypro10
- izkaypro --model ultimate
- izkaypro --model kaypro_ii

I hope this gets you up and running.
