Well, if you've got some of the chips and want to do some wire-wrapping

Somebody else pointed me at that a few posts back, and I'm downloading as I
type this. I'd be real surprised if I needed to buy any chips...

I vaguely recall running across something of the sort but don't know if I
still have it -- it may be photocopied pages or something, I don't know. My
stuff isn't nearly as well-organized as I'd likeit to be.
How adaptable is the KIM-1 monitor? IIRC it had both
the keypad and
a TTY mode where it would use the UART. I used KIM-1's but never got
too much into poking around everything the monitor could do/did do.
I always thought that'd be a nifty machine to get a hold of and play
with, but never did, somehow. Last one I saw for sale was way up there
in price, not something I was gonna spend... Big question
for either of these, though, is source available?
The Apple II monitor had a complete commented listing in the back of the
book that came with it. (for a II it was the "red book", II+'s come with
a listing too at the end of the hardware manual.) I'm sure Rich Cini's site has the source to
the KIM-1 monitor.
Yup, got it...
