In 1976, MOS Technology unleashed a box on the world, and, much to their surprise many tried to open it.  While the KIM-1 doesn't have the fame of the Altair or the Apple I, it had quite a following in the mid 1970s.  It's the first computer to use the 6502, and it's the first computer that Commodore shipped.  It's a pretty important piece of computing history.

This should just be the first in a small series of videos about the KIM-1.  At the very least, I plan to collaborate with another local KIM-1 owner to create a video that compares Rev. D and Rev. F boards.

Here are links to a few of the things mentioned in the video:

The 8-Bit Guy video "Rare Commodore Systems Found at Electronics Recycler."  It looks like this system is a Rev. A board.  The chips on his board appear to have early 1977 date codes.  I saw at least a few week 7 chips.  Most of the chips on my board are also 1977, but they are mostly around week 40.

This is a like to the same video, but it starts where he begins to dig into the KIM-1.  My power supply is quite a bit lest sketch than his!

Finally, if anyone has one of those SKE1-1 enclosures, I would love to see more detailed pictures of it.  From some searching on the Internet, the only evidence this thing ever existed is images of a couple advertisements for the device. This definitely represents a gap the historical record.
