This is a Kaypro II emulator that runs on a Linux terminal. It can boot and use disk images for the Kaypro.
Uses the iz80 library. Made with Rust.
The Kaypro II computer was a luggable computer from 1982 capable of running CP/M 2.2. It was considered "a rugged, functional and practical computer system marketed at a reasonable price." (From Wikipedia)
It's a typical CP/M computer of the early 80s, built on a metal case with standard components, a 9" green monochrome CRT, a detachable keyboard and two disk drives. Main features:
- Zilog Z80 at 2.5 MHz
- 64 KB of main RAM
- 2 KB of ROM
- 2 KB of video RAM
- 80*24 text mode (no graphics capabilities)
- Two single or double side double density drives with 200kb/400kb capacity
- A serial port (not emulated by izkaypro)
- A parallel port (not emulated by izkaypro)
izkaypro does not require installation, you just need the executable. It has the ROM embedded as well as the boot CP/M disk and a blank disk. You can provide additional disk images as separate files.
Run the executable on a terminal and type the CP/M commands (you can try DIR and changing drives with B:). Press F4 to exit back to the host shell prompt.

You can provide up two disk images as binary files to use as A: and B: drives. If only an image is provided, it will be the A: disk, B: will be a blank disk.
The images have to be raw binary images of single sided disks. The size must be 204800 bytes. See disk images.
