It is a Kaypro II, and I am told it used CP/M. 
<http://oldcomputers.net/kayproii.html>

I found it in the trash, cleaned it up a little, and turned it on. All I 
got on the screen was a blinking BIOS cursor. Even if I got it booted 
up, what would I do with it? I think it has all of maybe 16 K of RAM and 
no hard drive.

Thanks for the offer, Dick, but I think it will just sit up in the attic 
of the barn until the Smithsonian says they are looking for it or my 
heirs pitch it into the dumpster with all of the other Stuff I have 
saved over the years.
