The KIM-1 had 1K of RAM and a hex keypad. No screen. No keyboard. No storage. And yet people wrote chess programs for it. In hex. By hand. We were not okay.

The Jolt shipped in december 1975, see the Micro Associates newsletters. All about 6530 RRIOTs, it is a large family on my website retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/653...

Royce Taft has a MACH-9 MMS Inc 6809 CPU Plug-in for AIM 65 and reverse engineered it.
He sent me his design to be published here.

Troubleshoot a 6502?

The PLEASE package was published as two documents: INSTRUCTIONS and LISTING. In 2025 I received V2 of the LISTING and the Instruction. Jeff and Kenneth White received V1 of Vern Graner. All this including sources typed in now available here: retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/kim...

01.02.2026 14:40 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Since this has only meaning with games and such the speed of the CPU also has to match 1 MHz. To run all First Book of KIM programs the timers also have to work.
01.02.2026 14:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0What I am thinking about is having the hardware level update a virtual display in memory and having a timer/separate thread copy that virtual display from memory to the screen as static led segments.
01.02.2026 14:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0Perhaps I could match 1 MHz. I do count cycles already. Might also help to implement timers of the 6532, as now it makes not much sense.
01.02.2026 14:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0i failed also to add that to my emulator. Bit banging visual objects without flicker fast enough, that is hard. So I cheat, and only have hexadecimal via the patched KIM-1 monitor entry.

You know the KIM-1 by now, but what about the SYM-1?

I do use Facebook and Google groups though for interesting groups but no personal data, no real alternatives.
Twitter/X has crossed a line, that is beyond evil.
The tech devils Meta and Google are both evil! They want to know all about you without you having any control over it, so they can target you with their money hungry acts. . and their political obedience to the fascists in charge.
