I got a chance to take a look at the Kim-1 computer
today. It does have the
number "0001" silkscreened onto the back of the board near the edge of the
board near the connectors. I took a look at one of mine and it had the
number 36?? screened at the same point, and the third Kim-1 doesn't appear
to have a number screened on (or the light was bad enough I couldn't see it
without removing it from the chassis. Anyone else with a Kim-1 have numbers
screened on? If so, what are those numbers?
I'lll check mine when I get home, but it sounds like a serial number to
me. What's the latest date code on the chips?
I might add this is the MOS Tech board and not the
Commodore board. At this
point, I don't know if this is a serial number or what, but I'll keep trying
to find out. The 0001 machine also has a plastic case for it that looks
like it was designed specifically for the Kim-1.
I've heard about the case being available, but I've never seen one.
Picture please. Or should I wait for it to show up on ebay? :-)
