The KIM-1 is one of the first computer systems build around the 6502 microprocessor, somewhere in 1975.
The hardware and software concepts in the KIM-1 were reused in a number of systems created later.
- Application and expansion connector
- KIM-1 monitor software in ROMs 6430-002 and 6430-003
- RRIOTs in 6530 (equivalent to 6532)
- Bitbanged serial interface
- 6 multiplexed seven segment LEDs and hex keyboard
- MOS Technology papertape format load and save
- KIM-1 audiotape format
Over the years I have collected a ‘family’ of small computers with one or more concepts of the KIM-1, as shown in the figure above.
