That and the Osborne I (which came first). They were 'luggable' and resembled medium-sized suitcases.
The Osborne 1 had better software, but the Kaypro II had the much larger screen. I wrote my first published porn novel on it. I then later graduated to the 'Fat Mac' - a Macintosh with 128K of RAM! - and my whole world was transformed. Last edited by Dr. Drib; 10-26-2022 at 05:29 AM. |

Complete WordStar for DOS 7.0 Archive
I still use WordStar for DOS 7.0 Rev. D — the final version, released in December 1992 — and have written all 25 of my novels with it.
I've created a massive archive for it. Included are not only full installs of the program (as well as images of the installation disks), but also plug-and-play solutions for running WordStar for DOS 7.0 under Windows, and also complete full-text-searchable PDF versions of all seven manuals that came with WordStar — over a thousand pages of documentation. I've also included lots of my own explanations on how to use and customize WordStar, many WordStar-related utility programs, and numerous other goodies. You can get the archive here: https://sfwriter.com/ws7.htm |

Quote:
I think this "release" probably deserves its own thread. I agree, nothing better than WordStar for writing. For the kind of writing I do, the Jstar flavor of JOE comes pretty close, but not nearly as many features. |
