Jolt/SuperJolt/TIM Simulator now has serial input/output
Of course there are much better terminal emulators, like Teraterm, Putty, Coolterm, Minicom etcetera.
And a real VT100 type device is really fun! Or a real Teletype …
A local terminal emulator on the same PC can also be used, with a virtual null modem like, com0com on Windows, socat on Linux

Windows with com0com and teraterm

Raspberry Pi with Coolterm

Jolt pages extended
The Jolt by Micro Associates, Inc, is one of the first 6502 systems. A small SBC with a 6502, 6821 PIA and the RRIOT 6530-004 also known as TIM. 512 byte RAM, a serial Teletype and RS-232 interface. The DEMON software (also known as TIM) is the 1K operating system.
Expansion cards were available, such a 2x PIA card, 2K EPROM card with 1702, Power Supply and a 4K RAM card with 2111 SRAM ICs.
As application software Tiny basic and the Resident Assembler Program RAP are available.

AIM 65 other hardware page added
For the AIM 65 it was not only Rockwell that produced hardware like video,serial and FDC cards, others also amde hardware for the AIM 65.
I have a page devoted to AIM 65 hardware with new photos, updated and cleaned up documents:
– Comelta S.A. Spain RAM and ROM cards
– Cubit
– Rhines and CRT2 Video
– MTU Micro Technology Unlimited expansions for the AIM 65

And some modern expansions:
SM Baker remakes of video and FDC and bus cards.

KIM-1 Marquee
This has been waiting some time to be published.
Udo Juerss wrote in 2024 a program KIM-1 Marquee to display running text wit a near complete alphabet on a KIM-1 or clone LED display.

Jolt replica by Scott LaBombard
Scott LaBombard started many years ago on a replica of the Jolt. Quite a challenge, since only photos are known.
He succeeded in finishing a working replica as shown on this page.

Alternative Junior Monitor
Udo Juerss minimized the original monitor written by Alois Nachtmann by removing the socalled “assembler”.
And added Intel Hex and MOS Technology papertape upload.. Furthermore some routines can be use in own programs like: TTY_INIT, TTY_PUTC, TTY_PUTS.
Here an archive with the source, binary and documentation.

Rockwell AIM 65 additions
The Rockwell pages on AIM 65 have had some updates.
There is a new page on AIM 65 hardware produced by others, like video cards, dataloggers and more.

KIM-1 Simulator 1.5.4 published
A fresh version of the simulator.
New functionality
1. The audio tape routines interception can be switched off and on in settings. So no more popups if browsing in the -003 ROM
2. The console window stays open untouched when the LED display is chosen. When switched back to the LED display, the LED lights up again. More close to the KIM-1.

Testing my 6530 collection
I have a small collection of the MOS 6530 RRIOTs as made by MOS Technology.
Mask programmed, ROM and also ports can be used as chip select. See the 6530 pages!
I have tested my 6530s with the excellent Backbit Chiptester Pro V2.
6530-002 black all tests passed and ROM dumped OK, confirmed to be the 002 ROM, main KIM-1
6530-002 ceramic all tests passed, ROM test fails
6530-003 black all tests passed and ROM dumped OK, confirmed to be the 003 ROM, audio cassette KIM-1
4x 6530-004 all tests passed, except the PORT B and no ROM dumped, TIM
3x 6530-005 all tests passed, except the PORT B and the ROM (which is to be expected, the 005 has no ROM)
2x R6530P/R3004-11 all tests passed, except the PORT B and no ROM dumped, pinball
2x 6530-24 all tests passed a except the PORT B and no ROM dumped, Commodore diskdrives
I also tested a 6530 replacement, built with a 6532 and some glue logic and an EEPROM, both 002 and 003 variants tested OK.
SO I suppose all these 6530’s except the ceramic 6530-002 are all right. The Port B test fails, since the 6530-002 and 6530-002 use pin PB6 for a chip select and the others may have this as I/O pin. Now waiting for an answer of the Backbit Chiptester Pro to my query about Port 2 testing.
