KIM-1 and Radio Bulletin
SALE! 6502! Junior, KIM-1 Elektuur cards here
The dutch magazin Radio Bulletin (RB, RB
Electronics) has a long history, way back to the
beginning years of electronics long before the second
world war. The name was derived from what electronics
meant for amateurs then: building radios yourself.
It was published by Uitgeverij de Muiderkring, a
publishing company in the Amroh group of companies.
The magazine was published in large
volumes in the years 1970-1990, due to the popularity of
do-it-yourself electronics and audio. Also the beginning
of the microprocessor revolution was adequately covered
and the great years of the hobbycomputers 1980-1990 were
contributing to the success. Besides the magazine
Uitgeverij de Muiderkring published many books on
electronics. After 1990 the success faded and the
magazine left the mass market and stopped in 2003. The
publishing company Uitgeverij de Muiderkring, together
with Amroh went bankrupt in 2002 (i live closely to the
last location and see the empty offices when passing by).In 1977 Dick de Boer joined the staff of
RB and introduced the readers to microprocessors and in
particular the 6502 and the KIM-1. Also the KIM
Gebruikers Club and the HCC were founded that year and RB
started to write articles about all this exciting new
developments!.
I was then already a freelance writer
about electronics but Dick made me enthousiast for the
microcomputer such as the KIM-1 and made me join the KIM
Gebruikers Club and the HCC (member 760 and still a
member).Dick de Boer, his successor Paul de Beer
and me (Hans Otten) and others wrote many articles about
the KIM-1 and related 6502 based systems for Radio
Bulletin. Especially Dick wrote good introduction
articles and developed sophisticated hardware and
software like a grahical display. After leaving the
magazine he became a software engineer and helped me also
to my first job as software engineer in 1980. Me and Paul de Beer concentrated more on
expanding 6502 systems like the KIM-1 with memory (RAM,
ROM) and I/O cards like PIA, VIA and ACIA and
mass-storage such as the MiniDigitalCassetteRecorder. The
bus of this expansion system was the socalled BEM-bus, a
31-pin DIN41617 connector.
All these articles are downloadable here,
as they describe my KIM system and many others since the
prints were sold quite well. As you can see in the
following long list the KIM and the 6502 played a major
role in the microprocessor revolution starting in 1977
and lasting untill 1985 for Radio Bulletin.
See my RB page
for the other articles I have written for Radio Bulletin.
This is the list of (dutch) articles.
Note that some articles were reprinted in the CB specials
(see below) so some magaizne scans are from the CB
Special. Also some multipart articles are combined into
one document.
