Just learned of this via a tweet from a former colleague:
?
The KIM Uno is a small "open-source hardware" project to build a
replica of the classic 1976 KIM-1 computer. It doubles up as a 6502
programmable calculator. It costs about $10 in commonly available
parts (board & parts without case or power supply), but provides a
faithful KIM-1 'experience'. An atMega328 (Arduino Pro Mini, actually)
mounted on the back of the board contains all the logic and memory.

I've seen it (I was next to Oscar Vermeulen at VCFe and VCFmw this
year). It's pretty slick and quite inexpensive.

I've got one; amazing what Oscar managed to put
together to sell for $10.00, not to mention the
firm/soft-ware.
He's also the guy behind the bitchin RasPi-powered
PDP-8/I replica:

Funny thing that this gets mentioned... I spent a couple of hours last night putting a
Kim-Uno together from Oscar's kit. (I had bought it way back in the spring)
Works like a charm - only had time to go through some basic testing - no programming yet.
Nicely done project on Oscar's part. Everyone should have one!
I ordered an RS232 to TTL board this AM - it somehow does not feel 'right' to
connect it to a computer via USBserial. I'd like to also figure out what to do/how to
work the expansion connector, so I can hook it up to a breadboard and do some I/O. Which
probably means a bigger case...
I have Oscar's PiDP 8 kit as well, which is awaiting assembly...
cheers

Oscar is already working on another very promising product.
In December he is coming to Holland to visit family. He will
also pay a visit to my "museum" to take a few measurements.
Sorry, can't say more, I'll leave that up to Oscar. Perhaps he
want to stay "below the radar" until that project is finished ...
