Hi Bill,
I don't have any information on your board but The S-100 & Other Micro
Buses by Poe and Goodwin talks about a KIM-4 board that is an expansion
board for the Kim-1. The Kim-4 measures 11 x 11.5" inches and has two
sockets that mate to the two expansion connectors on the Kim-1. The Kim-4
has six "expansion module connectors" on it that look similar to the card
sockets in an IBM PC. The module connectors have 44 pins and the
connections are *ALMOST* the same as those on the Kim-1. The Kim-4 also
has one application connector on one edge and one bus expansion connector
on the end opposite the Kim-1 connectors. The book says that the Kim-4 was
made by MOS Technology, Inc.
The same book also shows a "KIMSI" expansion board for the Kim-1. The
KIMSI has eight >> S-100 buss << expansion connectors.
FWIW,
Joe

To All,
I just obtained a board which I think is an EPROM programming board for the
AIM or KIM or ???, and I'm trying to find some information on it. It is not
an RM65 board, the connector looks like it would plug right to an AIM. Here
is a description:
Measures 4-7/16 (4.4375)inches wide by 6-1/2 (6.5) inches long, including
edge connector, lengthwise insertion.
44 pin gold plated edge connector with a 44 pin socket mounted immediately
behind and parallel to the edge connector, on the component side of the PCB.
24 pin ZIF connector in the upper LH corner, viewing with the edge connector
facing me (all descriptions below assume this position).
10 position DIP switch immediately to the right of the ZIF socket (no
labeling), and another 10 position dip switch about halfway up the RHS,
labeled 1 to 7 and B, C, D (probably address selection since one row of pins
is all tied common and most of the pins on the other side of it go to a
74LS154).
One LED, immediately to the right of the first 10 position DIP switch
mentioned above, at the edge of the board.
Two trimpots about center of the far edge of the board, to the right of the
LED.
Two jumper blocks, one with 2 pins, labeled W1, and one with 3 pins, labeled
RO and RA.
Two Toshiba 24 pin TMM2016P-1 RAMs left of center in second row of DIPs on
the board.
One 2516-45 EPROM to the left of the RAMS, with a label on top "6517A".
On the solder side the only markings (in etch) are CUBIT INC, 1981 and the
numbers 10362 and 6583. Most of the date codes on the ICs are between 8037
and 8203. There is no other model number, manufacturer, or other ID marking
on this board.
If anyone has any information on this board, please let me know (through the
list).
Thanks all,
Bill
