Kaypro "1" update

I decided to return the to the floppy drives.  The half height drives worked much more reliably than the full height drives.

I used the OpenFlops to boot and copy disk images to real 5.25" disks.  Once that was done, I put the real floppy drive back.  Now I have a bunch of working disks for the Kaypro "1".

Then I fixed the video "squeezing" problem.  Just some DeOxyIt and slight adjustment to a video pot.

I also use the 5.25" drive in the NuXT to copy files.  Someone way back in the day, wrote a set of utilities called 22dsk that will read/write CP/M 2.2 disks.  It also works for my kaypro 4/83, but I have to use the same floppy emulator in the NuXT.
