Of course. There are many such examples of homebrew kits with tape and TTY; I routinely use a serial port connection as TTY over the 20mA current loop with my briefcase KIM that also has the tape lines brought out to a 1/4" TRS jack, though uploading binaries over the serial link is more handy for testing. The TVT 6 5/8 was an easy to assemble video board, or the cool kids had an MTU 8K RAM expansion that emitted the contents as a 320x200 composite image.
In fact, the AIM-65 was basically a heavily expanded KIM with a LED screen, printer, keyboard and tape all in one box from the factory.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoYou like the word 'handy'. It's in the blog post twice and once in your comment here.

- jgrahamc 3y agoI suppose I do, but to make you happy I've changed one use of handy to nifty.
- TedDoesntTalk 3y agoTrivia: handy means 'mobile phone' in Austrian German
- whartung 3y agoTrivia bit. For those that don't know, the Cal Poly Universities at Pomona and San Luis Obispo collaborate on the annual Rose Parade Float. Back in the day, they would win awards for their motion control and animation work. Much of that work was done down at Pomona. And the computer they used as the control computer in those early days was the AIM-65.
