Updates to KIM-1, AIM 65 and SYM-1 pages

Posted on by

With the help of users on the German Classic Computing forum I have added many manuals and magazines in German about those systems:

– AIM 65 PC100 manuals
– MICROMAG magazines
– KIM-1 manuals in German

I also added books on the 6502 in general and on the KIM-1, SYM-1 and AIM 65 to the Books section.

Reading old magazines is always fun, from the period 1976 to 198x magazines were filled with articles on the 6502, the KIM-1 and other SBC’s.

German, Dutch and English magazine articles extracted here.
Kilobaud, Byte, Dr Dobbs and of course the dedicated 6502 User Notes, MICRO Journal and Compute are valuable sources, but look at the many magazines on this page!

Added some photo’s, a good schematic and user group newsletters to page devoted to the DATAC 1000, a small TIM-1 (6530-004) system, a very early 6502 SBC, as used by the Philadelphia based PACS users, manufactured by Datac engineering.

Data Handler, an early 6502 SBC

Posted on by

The Data Handler is a SBC (actually two boards!) built in 1975 by Western Data Systems Corporation.
One of the first computers based upon the then new 6502, as the KIM-1. Jolt, OSI 300.

Photos and blog about this SBC by Armin Zink, who owns a Data handler.

The following text and scans of the manual are by Armin Zink on his blog.

Datac 1000, a TIM 6502 SBC from 1976

Posted on by

This single board computer was premiered at the club’s August 1976 meeting in Atlantic City, NJ. Once “perfected,” the computer helped introduce many PACS members, and others,to the field of microcomputers. The official manufacturer of this computer was Datac Engineering of Southampton, PA.The computer was available in two models: the $185 “tutorial” version and the fully populated and tested version for $345.In either case the 6502 CPU was included. Computer was instantly usable and featured expansion capabilities, touch sensitive input keypads and a documentation package.The computer was so revolutionary that it was featured in Byte Magazine’s July 1977 edition.

KIM-1 Simulator at version 1.1.4

Posted on by

The KIM-1 Simulator is now at version 1.1.4. Not much news, just some small steps. Windows executable is updated, Linux versions require compiling sources.


– Feedback made me change the behaviour of Run/Stop state when the debugger’s Run facilities were used: the Run/Stop state is set to not running to enable stepping in debugger
– SST switch now tells it is not to be used for debugging.- Use of Lazarus Icons to improve design, Main menu now shows icons:

Junior Computer II

Posted on by

Written by 2021 by Joerg Walke, visit his webiste for the most actual version!
The Junior Computer ][ is an expanded version of the original Junior Computer. To make it more useful, I’ve equipped it with 32KB RAM, 8KB ROM and an onboard RS232 serial interface for connecting a terminal or a printer. For the use with a terminal, I also wrote an extended monitor program thats included in the bigger ROM. The development of the Junior Computer ][ is still in progress, so some other features will find its way to the mainboard.On the picture above, you can see the actual rev. 2 board of the Junior Computer ][.The new revision 3 board has arrived!…all components assembled and soldered…and it works fine!

New SBC: SYM-1

Posted on by

I have acquired a SYM-1 Rev 1.1. Again a historical milestone back in my collection.

It works, so much more advanced software than a KIM-1, with more I/O and 4K memory.

No Basic or RAE ROMs alas.

See the Synertek SYM-1 pages for more info.
