That brings back some memories. The first computer I had back when I was in the 7th grade was a KIM-1 that a friend of my father gave me. Eventually I bought an 8KB RAM expansion board and a SWTP terminal kit so I could run BASIC on the KIM-1. The SWTP terminal kit I had looked about the same as your pictures, except it included a full beige plastic case. The kit must not have been too difficult to put together since I don't remember having any problems getting it built and working. I later managed to blow something up on it once though when I somehow plugged one of the Molex connectors in backwards, but a local computer club member was able to repair the damage for me at the time. After a couple of years I traded the KIM-1 and the SWTP terminal in towards a brand new Apple II+. That's one trade I wish I never made. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
