The problem may not be hardware.  My Kaypro used to run the drive 
motors until a character was read or written to console, I don't
remember which.  For instance Perfect Writer would start them spinning
when it swapped and they would stay on till I typed something.  Then
last spring or so our user group got an updated CP/M and-- voila--
the drives turned off after use.

So-- find someone with a newer Kaypro, and have them format/sysgen
a disk for you.  (Have them copy the whole CP/M disk-- some of the 
utilities have improved a bunch.)  Maybe it will work, maybe not,
but it's worth a try.

(If you don't find someone handier, contact me and I'll mail you
a disk).
