Yes, 5 VDC and plus and minus 12 VDC. The -12 is only used for a comm

run it without the plus and minus 12 VDC but you'll lose the comm port and
printer. You MUST have the 5 VDC.
I don't know. Maybe it uses the keyboard connector or the expansion
connector. You should be able to trace the KB-TTY switch out if nothing
else. BTW some of my boards don't have the switch. The traces are there and
there's a jumper soldered between two of them.

Found an
AIM-65 at a hamfest today (at the Amana Colonies near
Cedar Rapids, Iowa) for $1.00. It's got the cheesiest brown,
plastic case I've ever seen, a cut little printer built in,
an ascii keyboard, a funky led display and not much else.
Geee, what a neat beast - I'm searching a cased AIm (or an AIM
case) for years.
I haven't powered it up yet since it seems to
want 12 and 24
volts and I don't have a 24 volt supply handy.
Wasn't it +5 and +/-12 ? It's a long time ago. Does anyone have the pinouts for the expansion
and application
connectors on this little guy?
Try Richards page - he did a good job and scanned a lot of the Manuals.

There are two edge connectors - one supplys the system (extension)
Bus, the other offers the 'user' port, including a 20mA TTY (like
the KIM)
Mine say "J1 Application" and "J3 Expansion". The keybaord
connects to
"J4". "J2" connects to the printer. I don't know where the comm
port is.
Have you looked at the stuff on Rich's web site yet. The manuals there
should tell where it is and how to use it.
BTW Richard, I haven't forgotten about the PROMs. I got my burner out to
use it and found that I misplaced the software when I moved the burner to a
new machine. I spent two days looking for it but haven't found it yet.
