Unobtanium 6502 based KIM-1 part now obtanium with FPGA
- djmips 2y agoPaul Sajna with Dag Lem have created a beautiful 40 pin FPGA replacement for a oft needed part at the heart of a Kim-1 board that hasn't been made for decades.
- bnly 2y agoThis is a very niche kind of cool. There's something purely fun about reviving old tech and it's not a simple feat. I think it would be cool if you did a follow-up article on the "why" part — what inspired you about the KIM-1, why you thought it was interesting to revive, etc.
- dboreham 2y agoIt's the original machine in the microcomputer lineage.
- ted_dunning 2y agoWell, the JOLT [1] predated the KIM-1 [2], I think. At least, I had a JOLT before I had a KIM-1.
