I need to find out what happened to that > machine. KIM-1 from schematics ? And where did he get the 6530-2 and -3 without taking them from a real KIM ? I guess it was more like a KIM alike with 6532's (with a bit of additional decoding, changing two lines and just not using half of the RAM they could work as 6530 without ROM) and a 2716 (also with additional address decoding). I think about a KIM clone since almost two years (the KIM was my second computer, the first I did build myself), but I can'T come up with a solution for the 6530 problem other than building new chips, or changing the design. Also the keyboad might be a problem, together with various discrete parts, that are just look different nowadays. Even if the main parts are placed like in the original (maybe hiding the ROM below the CPU using SMD parts :) it will be a vissible diference, greater than just in the conection layer.

Jep, and if speaking of lean systems for 'low' CPU power PCs just remember QNX - they just have a new promotion running for a 'complete' internet system on a single 1.44 floppy. Runs well on a 486 20MHz and should also be acceptable on a 386sx, but I didn't try it there.

Remember the movie Planet of the Apes ? A set of astronauts stranded on a foreign planet where ape like men are ruling an humen likes are just primitive. At the end they discovered, what thruout the film is just a vague idea - it's the earth of the future. And to enhance this idea the last szene just shows the hero rinding along a beach (into the evening and ... no, not a cowboy movie :), where the Statue of Liberty is burried (just head and torch are visible). A final picture ready made for US viewers. Or maybe you have seen Space Balls ? *g* Hans -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK

Apple I clone (was Re: Apple I Computer For Sale (fwd))

> The Apple 1 discussion reminds me of some (evil) thougts I had a while back. > What do the people on this list think of building an Apple I as a "homebrew" > project? Without much work, I was able to dig up a schematic and boot rom > listing for an A1, and the parts are all (mostly) readily available. Not evil - just fun. And I belive it would be easy to distinguish from the original A1 - at least if you know to see the difference between a 1978 and a 1998 PCB. Also I think it might not be possible to dig up realy all parts (haven't they used a very custom design for the video logic ?). So there replacements have to be. And after all: ICs tend to have production dates ... So, not evil at all, if you don't go for an exact copy of the board and the technologies used and you not remarking the chips (Gee, I have heard of remarking PII-266 to PII-333, but a 6502 4MHz to a 6502 1MHz ?). Althrugh I would suggest to add something that might add an additional distingtion, like Additional text one the board an mayve cuting of an edge. > I know it wouldn't be a real Apple 1, and it wouldn't be worth $40,000 8-). > But it'd be interesting, to me anyway, to live though hand-building a > working computer from just a bundle of wires, as well as having a "manly" > computer -- none of this sissy disk drive stuff.
