Hi,
Does anyone here have any info on this old hard
drive I bought at "Weird Stuff"?
It's a Memorex model 214 - weighs about 50 lbs, has
4 6" platters I think.
I'm interested in it origin, use, size, etc.
Thanks!
Steve.

When I received my VIM-1 it included the 'MCS6500
Microcoputer Hardware Manual', first edition, dated August 1975. It
has a blue cover with white text. With the KIM-1 I just picked up I
received the same manual, 2nd edition, dated January 1976 and it has
a white cover with blue text. So far, other than some modifications
to a few drawings and diagrams, I've found little difference between
the two. Is there a signifigance to the color change to the cover?

The VIM-1 one is an entirely different computer from the KIM-1, having
been designed by Ray Holt, who was later forced to change the name of it
to the SYM-1 when Commodore got pissed at him.

Yes, but the two manuals are both written and published by
MOS and I can see few differences between the two.

Back in the '70's I gave away my blue cover manual when I decided there was no
significant difference. Note that this newer manual, the one I kept, has a
pretty thorough description of what appears on the pins of the CPU during
every clock phase of every clock cycle of every instruction. I've seen no
other manual that does that so thoroughly.

No, they just changed the color twice. I have no Idea why.
The first edition Covers are Blue with a marble like texture
and white Letters. The Second edition was plain white with
blue Lettersx, all while later issues where blue (on 'bumpy'
cardboard paper) with white letters. AFAIK all later blue
ones belong to the Commodore age.
