Back in the '70's I gave away my blue cover manual when I decided there was no
significant difference. Note that this newer manual, the one I kept, has a
pretty thorough description of what appears on the pins of the CPU during
every clock phase of every clock cycle of every instruction. I've seen no
other manual that does that so thoroughly.

Subject: trivial KIM question
When I received my VIM-1 it included the 'MCS6500
Microcoputer Hardware Manual', first edition, dated August 1975. It
has a blue cover with white text. With the KIM-1 I just picked up I
received the same manual, 2nd edition, dated January 1976 and it has
a white cover with blue text. So far, other than some modifications
to a few drawings and diagrams, I've found little difference between
the two. Is there a signifigance to the color change to the cover?
