										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Eduardo Casino has done a great job <a href="http://retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/jolt-and-super-jolt/jolt/jolt-replica/">replicating the PCB of the Jolt</a>. And he proved the PCB was OK by building a Jolt and setting it to work.</p>
<p>I have populated a replica PCB with as much as I have in my junk boxes &#8216;time period correct&#8217; parts. It does look good compared to photos of the original Jolt.<br />
I am waiting for a &#8216;white&#8217; 6502 to arrive, the purple one is already period correct.<br />
This Jolt is meant to be a &#8216;museum&#8217; part and will end up above my desk next to an original SuperJolt.<br />
The next Jolt I will build will be a functional one with &#8216;black&#8217; ICs and less attention to perfection. </p>

<p>Hardware specifications of the original R65 Computer:<br />
&#8211; 6502 8-bit microprocessor<br />
&#8211; 1 MHz clock speed<br />
&#8211; 17 kByte, 33 kByte, 49 kByte RAM (expanded 2 times between 1977 an 1979)<br />
&#8211; 2 kByte graphics RAM<br />
&#8211; 10 kByte ROM<br />
&#8211; 40 x 16 char monochrome display<br />
&#8211; 224 x 118 dot monochrome graphics display (switchable with char display)<br />
&#8211; 2 floppy disk drives. Formatted capacity 199680 bytes each.<br />
&#8211; Interfaces: Teletype, RS232, parallel printer, audio tape, golf-ball typewriter, tv</p>

<p>A perfect solution for an unexpanded KIM-1. Quite popular in education. Add a power supply and you can start using it without exposing the electronics. The LED display was behind a red plexiglas cover, so that improves readability. </p>
