Thanks for letting us join in your fun

Looks like it was a great event. Very nice shots of some wonderful machines. So glad I could help in my small way.
thanks!

Glad that you've got it going! And yes, I did display the messages out of order on purpose. I'm a software QA guy and that kind of thing is part of my nature
Feel free to re-define any of the 'non-standard' characters (some of them are rather clumsy).
And I'd love to see a video of your demo.

I was able to play with it a bit over the holidays and made a message scroller using Jim Butterfield's scan routine from Wumpus. Here's the source: Hi. This looks like fun. Could you give some instructions on how to use this? I transfered the KIM-code bit into my Micro-KIM and I get a blank screen....

Congratulations!
Vince's Micro-KIM is an awesome kit. Lots of fun to build and use. Let us know how things are going.

Sounds very interesting. Is this something you are going to productize? I had been looking at something like this:

FWIW, I had something similar occur when I was using minicom connected to my Micro-Kim running fig-forth. IIRC, it cleared up when I changed from 8-1-N to 7-1-E. You might try something along those lines.

I realize this thread is _very_ stale, but I am interested in the prospect of using an sd card as a drive for the Micro-KIM. Has anyone actually done this? I would (probably) use FIG-forth as the OS. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Aart, I _really_ like your assembler. Thanks for providing it. I was able to play with it a bit over the holidays and made a message scroller using Jim Butterfield's scan routine from Wumpus. Here's the source: ; kim_msg.asm ; testing lin2c64 6510 assembler ; using J. Butterfield's scan display from...

On the other hand...
The Micro-Kim is a really great kit. Lots of fun to build, looks great, and an excellent 6502 to work with in assembler or even Forth
Vince has done a great job with all of his kits.

Hooray,
I've got figforth running in my minicom terminal.
1200 baud 7E1, been a looong time since I've used those settings

Does anyone have fig-forth in a KIM paper tape format ?

Update, I forgot about the kimpaper utility. After compiling it for my Linux box, I was able to covert the 6502K.BIN to a .pap file and install it.

Looks great! Where's the code

Thanks for the posting guys. I just want to confirm I'm running minicom in linux and have my ascii file transfer set for:
/usr/bin/ascii-xfr -sen -c10 -l200

Just now I loaded the clock.txt prog from the CD and it worked great.

cheers,

Thanks for the info, that sounds like it would work. Think I'll add that to my wish list. You can't believe what a VT 100 goes for on Ebay.
