Here is a brief document showing commands available and an introduction to using the assembler: github.com/DavidJRichar...

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.

MCS6530 and MCS6532 – Retro Computing

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...

I did not say that. The RRIOT KIM 6530-002 was designed in 1975. The KIM-1 with 6530-002 and 6530-003 shipped in 1976. The User manual is dated January 1976, advertisements and magazine articles appeared in the first quarter of 1976.

New project, cleanup and restore this KIM-1 . Poor thing still works but had a rough life. KIM-1 collection complete now ..

The RRIOTs 6530 -004 TIM and 6530-002 KIM were developed at the same time in 1975. The computers JOLT and KIM-1 shipped end 1975 begin 1976 based upon these.

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...

Since 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.

What 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.

Perhaps 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.

i 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.
