Seawell SEA-16 RAM Expansion Board (REV C)
Seawell Little Buffered Motherboard (LBM 4034)
A Dutch company, producer of many 6502 and more industrial hardware, BEM was the name one of their product lines.
Brutech Electronics Microsytems – B.E.M
Gebroeders Bruyn, Vinkeveen. Small company, custom made electronics and standard microprocessor boards and systems aimed at industry and hobbyist.
During my years with Radio Bulletin we often worked with Brutech, and I visisted their office/manufacturing plant in Vinkeveen several times. The BEM-bus became the standard bus for expansion at Radio Bulletin after the first BEM-1 card was connected to the KIM-1 by Dick de Boer. Brutech specialized in the beginning on the KIM-1/VIM/SYM-1 expansion cards, later on they made their own CPU cards and besides the 6502 CPUs like the 6809 were available.

Brutech sold the VIM-1 and SYM-1, with their cards as expansions.
Review in Radio Bulletin November 1978 |
 |
Brutech sold also the PC100, the Siemens OEM version of the AIM 65. Again the expansions could be used, same bus.

MAiS, a system for airtraffic control, developed around the BEM SBCD4 and a custom card.
As editors of the magazine Radio Bulletin we had many conversations with them and wrote articles about their products.
For the KIM-1 and SYM-1 they had many products, some based on the so called BEM bus (DIN 31 pin connector), some as addons to the 22/44 edge connector of the KIM-1.
I stilll own this 4K RAM card:
BEM SBC4 in MAIS box
An example of a 6809 CPU board in a custom industrial application. Bought front eh HCC Forth UG in 2004.
KIM-1, AIM-65, SYM-1 and other 6502/65C02/65C816 related books.
A mix of English, German and Dutch books.
On my bookshelf I have quite a collection of books on the 6502 family.
Note that manuals and books that come with systems are shown on the pages of the corresponding system!

Micro Technology Unlimited produced a lot of hardware and software for the KIM-1, SYM-1, AIM 65 and more.
The company is still in business, now sells Karaoke software.
On these pages I have collected what is known about MTU and the products for the KIM-1 (and the MTU-130/140).
With thanks to David Williams, Eric Wright, Dave Plummer, Jack Rubin and Eduardo Casino.
MOS Technology, as part of Commodore, enhanced their KIM-1 offering with a range of add-on products.
Under the name KIM System Products hardware such a Motherboard (KIM-4), Memory expansions(KIM-2, 3, 3B) and software like the Cross Assembler, the KIM-5 Resident Assembler/Editor, and KIMath.
The Cross-Assembler was used at MOS Technology to create the very first 6502 code, like the KIM-1 ROMs or the TIM ROM (MCS6530-004).
Cross Assembler
KIMath package
See also the KIM-5 page for KIMath provided as 6540 ROM for the KIM-5 ROM baord.
RNB Enterprises sold a range of AIM 65/SYM-1/KIM-1 extension cards, ranging from a VAK-1 Motherboard, RAM and EPROM cards anda prototyping card.
