I have released a new Kaypro emulator on GitHub.  This all started 
during an ice storm and my desire to verify my archived Kaypro 4-84 
disks were properly archived.  I extended a publicly available Kaypro II 
emulator on GitHub, but I went a little overboard.  Now you have support 
for Kaypro II, Kaypro 4-84, TurboROM, KayPLUS, and Kaypro10.  There is 
hard disk support for the Kaypro10 and TurboROM, and RTC and serial port 
for 4-84 variants.  You can run the program in terminal mode or natively 
using the chargen ROMs. NZ-COM is also installed on the TurboROM_nz.hd 
image with ZSDOS and date/time stamping support.

Runs on Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and even Windows now.  The default mode is a 
standard 4-84 - Just run "izkaypro".

If you want to run the "ultimate" Kaypro, do "izkaypro --model ultimate 
--chargen"

That will give you the TurboROM version with HDs on drives A and B and 
drives C and D as floppy drives - plus NZ-COM on drive A (type "nzcom" 
to activate).

Other ROMs will probably work, I just haven't tested them.  You can use 
a custom ROM via command line --rom. Do "izkaypro -h" to see options.

The software is here and README.md has all the details.  Compile with 
"cargo build --release"

Enjoy,
