Digital Group added information

The Digital Group made computers with Z80, 8080, 6800 and 6502 as choice.I found a article in MICROTREK magazine 1977 with a review of this computer.

I have added some photos from a Seawell Little Mother Board and Seawall SRAM card on the Seawell page. KIM-1 SYM_1 and AIM 65 expansion boards.

Now with the manuals scanned by Clayton Seale, thanks!

TECMUMAS museum


In Bad König, Westenwald, Germany, Matthias Schmitt and his wife have developed a museum dedicated to Technik called TECMUMAS. Mostly retro computers from the early days to the nineteens.

Here some photos of my visit in June 2025, when I was given the opportunity to see and photograph MOS Technology KIM-4 and KIM-5 devices and the Synertek MDT 1000.

Besides those systems TECMUMAS is home to about 1400 computers and what comes with it: manuals, books, monitors and more.

The museum has a large room to display a part of the collection, regularly refreshed with objects of the collection absed upon a theme.

See the page with photos of TECMUMAS. And the following updates to pages:

Synertek pages update: SYM-1, SYM-2, KTM

New information added to the Synertek pages:

SYM-1s, KTM/2-80, expansions, books, manuals, ICs

SYM-1 Manuals
VIM-1 Reference Manual May 1978 scanned

SYM-1 Technical Notes

Manual of KTM-2 and KTM-2/80February 1981 , high quality

SYM-2 manual, photos, source of monitor and ROM dump

SYM-1 and SYM-2 updates

Paul Schroeter gave me the dump of the SYM-2 ROM and photos of the backside.He also scanned his photocopy of the SYM-2 Reference Manual.


More about the SYM-1 and SYM-2 on the Synertek pages

Sources of SYM-1 and SYM-2 Monitor ROMs

Many years ago Paul R.Santa-Maria (who sadly left us in 2012) gave me the listing of the source of the Monitor ROM in the SYM-1 1.1
Delivered as a listing, with the comments from the listing in the SYM-1 Reference manual and formatted close to the printed listing.

This is the heading of the listing:

SYM-1 SUPERMON AND AUDIO CASSETTE INTERFACE SOURCES
COMBINED AND CONVERTED TO TELEMARK ASSEMBLER (TASM) V3.1

0002 0000 ;
0003 0000 ;*****
0004 0000 ;***** COPYRIGHT 1979 SYNERTEK SYSTEMS CORPORATION
0005 0000 ;***** VERSION 2 4/13/79 “SY1.1”

Since the ROM of the SYM-1 1.0, 1.1 and the ROM of the SYM-2 2.0 are available:

  • Converted the listing back to source format (TASM32, standard MOS format).
  • Created separate source for the SYM-1 1.0 ROM, the SYM-1 1.1 ROM (the original listing) and the SYM-2 ROM.
  • Typed in the audio cassette interface sources from the 1.0 reference manual.
  • Changed the SYM-2 source to the different hardware (a 6532 at AC00 instead of a VIA) and other (minor) changes.
  • Binary output compared to the original ROM dumps as proof the sources match the dumps.

In this archive sources of 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 listings, binary output.

Another KIM-5 located!

I have found a second KIM-5, also in Germany of the KIM-5.

Photos of a KIM-5 board with the Resident Assembler/Editor 6540 ROMs in a KIM-4 motherboard. Photos from the TECMUMAS, dem Technikmuseum (Matthias Schmitt)

Siemens Personal Computer PC 100 Bedienungsanleitung, Ausgabe 1981/1982

A contribution by Michael Steil of the scan of ‘Siemens Personal Computer PC 100 Bedienungsanleitung, Ausgabe 1981/1982’

The Siemens PC 100 was a version of the 6502-based “AIM-65” SBC in a case and with slightly modified ROMs. Siemens offered a set of German-language manuals, which included translated Assembler (MOS Resident Assembler) and BASIC (Microsoft BASIC) manuals, but also a general manual (“Bedienungsanleitung”).

See the PC100 page for more information like manuals and ROM dumps.

EMUF M50734

Thanks to F.J.Kamerewerd, DL6OE, I have a photo of a EMUF 65XX with a very special CPU, the Mitsubishi M50734.
This CPU is from a family of 65C02 cores with enhancements.
Around this M50734 the EMUF M50734 is published in MC Magazine 11 1911.

See here for the information available.
