A program to convert between hex or binary files for 8 bit systems with a 64K address space. V2 adds the Wozmon Apple 1 format and allow multipart Intel Hex, MOS Papertape and Motorola S records.
After years of (I admit, intermittent) restauration work from paper, the whole package is available again to load on the KIM-1, now including a cross compiler.
While I was working on my KIM-1 emulator, I did a lot of research in my own archive and the internet and found this website was not showing all I have offline.
So lots of updates, enhancements, scans, software, magazines added, before the programming continues on the emulator! Read More →
The KIM-1 design inspired many designers of 6502 systems, mimicking either the unique LED and keypad setup or by having the same application/expnsion connector
Notable are:
– SYM-1 Application and expansion connector, LED and keypad display, tape format
– AIM 65 Application and expansion connector, tape format
– MCS Alpha 1 LED and keypad display, tape format
– Elektor Junior LED and keypad display, tape format
– KIM Uno emulator LED and keypad display
A KIM clone developed by Paul Lamer for track testing at races. The Super KIM was sold us board also, as advertisements show.
A true KIM clone with both 6530 RRIOTs, 4K Bytes RAM (8x 2114), 8 bit latched priority interrupts, 4 6522 VIAs, 16K Bytes EPROM (4x 2732), Power supply on baord, tri-state address and databus buffers, KIM-1 edge card connectors. Read here about the background of this kind of track testing (from this site
Found this photo in a Facebook group, no more information known. Looks like a standard KIM-1 with 2114 SRAM ICs.
Prototype KIM-1
On team6502 I found a photo of a prototype KIM-1 at MOS Technologies, Terry Holdt has this in his office.
The layout is different from the final product, everything seems to be present on this prototype.
A KIM-1 clone build by Bob Applegate of Corsham technologies.
Somewhat inspired by the microKIM by Vince Briel, who was inpired by Ruud Baltissen! The idea is replace the 6530’s with 6532 and by careful memory decoding have the I/O, timer and RAM of the 6532’s appear at the same locations as the 6530-002 and -003. ROM is added with an EPROM.
Not an exact copy, the ROM has been changed/enhanced with a KIM Monitor by Bob, though the original KIM-1 ROM should work also.
Available assembled and tested or as a kit. I have bought the PCB and plan to build it! And also bought the assemnbled version 2 with expansion connector
Here a selection of interesting 6502/KIM and general RB electronics/computer articles, written by me and others, (in Dutch) in Radio Bulletin in the period 1977 to 1987. Note that some articles were reprinted in the CB specials, see the RB Specials page.
