Recent Findings

Besides the Kim-1 (which isn't mine <sigh>), I did acquire a few interesting things. I got a Radio Shack Micro Color Computer (the first in my collection!), a Sharp PC-5000 portable computer w/ built in printer and external floppy drive, and a Silent 700 Data terminal WITH manuals! I have several of the Silent 700's but this is the first manuals I have seen for the unit. There are still a number of bankers boxes full of documentation that I will be picking up in the future. Re: the Kim-1, there was also Educassette Computer Aid Digital Data Recorder with docs that is believed to have gone with the Kim-1. It looks like a neat system and the description reads "Uses the industry standard tape saturation method to beat all FSK systems ten to one. No modems or FSK decoders required. Loads 8K of memory in 17 seconds ..." There is a tape in it labeled 8080 software. I suspect the tape at least was not used in the Kim-1 :).
