A recent acquisition delivered me a system, in excellent visual condition with
- KIM-1 rev B ceramic white CPU and 6530, grey 6530
- ASCII display
- ASCII keyboard
- Brutech 4K RAM
Now the KIM-1 has no secrets for me, this is a beautiful example with these withe IC’s
The Brutech 4K RAM card just fits on the expansion connector, I have seen these cards before in the 70ties!
The ASCII display card, about the same size as the KIM-1 is unknown to me, the only information is ASCII Display TTY compatible v.s. 13 .
No documentation but some properties can be deducted from the IC’s on the board. It is without doubt a simple TYTY replacement serial ASCII display terminal.
There is a video output on the bottom right, serial input/output on the left connector and on the left connector one can attach a ASCII parallel keyboard (see below, it is in the package). Read More →

Until now I only saw an advertisement for a 6530-005 in an 70ties magazine. But today I found an ebay advertisement selling these IC’s. A Rockwell variant, date code 8114. Without any description, so the function is still unknown. But a photo is now found!
I also found more 6530 variants used in the pinball industry:
6530-12 or 6530-13 were used in the Gottlieb System 1 sound boards
6530-14 was used in the Gottlieb System 80 series sound boards.
In my boxes with electronic parts I have many IC’s. Partly new bought, lots also rescued from obsolete boards. The 65XX parts present a large part in the microprocessor corner! Recent inventory revealed some unique and older types. So here I present photos of unique 65XX IC’s in my collection, duplicates left out.
Some older ceramic IC’s are from photos from other sources, like the Jolt archive.
MOS Technology dated the IC’s with the number string WWYY, where WW is weeknumber padded with zero, and YY are the last two digits of the year.
Example is my oldest part is 6530, date 1476 white case, stamped week 14 year 1976. The youngest parts are Rockwell R6522s from 2007! And the 65c102 dates 0843, which means 2008?
Other manufacturers reversed week and year, like the 6507 8222, year 1982, week 22.

A 6530-005 (TIM without ROM program) as sold on ebay, obviously rebranded since the SY6530-005 text is still visible. Hard to see, but the Synertek date code also seems not to be 8114.
