Hey,
I've recently come across a Rockwell AIM 65/40, which
is not the original AIM 65. This is a newer version
that came out a few years later, it seems.
Here are some pictures:

Anyway, I can't find any information what-so-ever on
the web, and it comes without a user manual.
If anyone has any good information that I can add to
my website, please let me know!
Thanks!
Steve.

I've never seen this model, but I don't think it's any different than
prior models. The only physical difference is the enclosure around the
display.

Umm ... Sellam was definitely not looking at a AIM-65 when he wrote that.
I've got mine next to me and there are many differences:
The keyboard has an extra row of function keys and the connector is right of
centre instead of far left.
The display is much wider (40 characters instead of 20 according to the
website)
The PCB is completely different
The printer is different and placed further back.
In fact, it is entirely different!!
I've never heard of this model before and I'd be interested if these were
ever actually marketed, and if anyone has one.

Ah, but there are difference, some big ones!
Here is the original AIM 65:

Here again is the AIM 65/40:

Since I have both of them, it's easy to see the
differences.
The motherboard has a completely different layout with
different components.
Check out the photos and let me know what you think!

Yep, you and the previous poster who pointed out the differences are
right. I didn't pay close enough attention. I blame it on none other
than Jim Beam himself.

'seems to me that those are what I've got lying in the basement, though I've
not
looked at them in a year or so. The schematic (right here) doesn't say anything
about "AIM 65-40" though ... just AIM 65.
