If you look at the propeller on the Superboard III you will notice it is connected to the bus. I use the Prop for video RAM and the 6502's system ROM. It would be easy to make a board that connects a propeller to the expansion port with SD card access to act as a drive. You would be able to read/wri...

Hey Jeff, I thought of making an 3.3V <--> 5V connection with the 610 options onboard with the option of disabling the onboard 32K RAM so the board could be used by both Superboard III and OSI 600 Superboard II users. Do you have info or a page on how you connected the 610 to your disk drive and how...

Parts shipped on the 4th due in Monday. Email me if you have a question about an order. vbriel@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Mouser part number 611-7105-002. Just cut the third pin off carefully.

I'm going to try and go, not that I'm not busy enough catching up on orders but I thought I would take a weekend and drive up. Here's a link for anybody thinking about going.

I'm playing with my 3D printer now to see if I can't make something.

From Patrick de Zoete I wanted to let you know I've converted all the KIM Kenner/6502/uP kenner magazine scan's I have to pdf. The OCR stuff still is taking a while.. I understand they are in a foreign tongue, but the code isn't and maybe it can be of some interest or use to your Micro KIM buyers/us...

coming soon. i have the design finished

The clock program was written only to output time to the 6 digit display. BASIC for the KIM-1 was compiled to use the KIM-1's TTY interface for I/O. You can't just port the hex display to the serial port, it has to be written to go there. That would be convenient though! There are samples in the boo...

Thanks, lol good to be back. The way the KIM-1 works is you had to choose between the I/O keyboard and hex display, or you could disable it and use a TTY interface. The uKIM is mostly the original KIM-1 so this protocol is the same. It uses some of the I/O that would be used for the display/keypad f...

There is a built in serial port of I/O if you want to hook up a terminal or a computer with a terminal emulator you have full screen I/O. This was built into the KIM-1 and many people don't know it.

In case of a problem with the USB drivers connecting to a Windows machine, use this driver as FTDI has built in clone detection that if a chips is a clone it won't communicate with the machine.

Michael Sternberg stepped up and did what I just don't have time to do, make a file transfer program for the MP3 player. Featured article is on a2central and is a great read with video's included.

Yes too soon. While I have a prototype, it is not the final prototype and I still want to start from scratch on the disk drive emulation.
