There is a really cool 6502 kit on the net.
The microKim is a tiny single board KIM computer
that is code and hardware compatible with the
ubiquitous Kim-1 from way back at the beginning
of recorded time.

Wasn't the Kim-1 (the?) first assembled microcomputer
that could be bought over the counter?



Not too many computers anymore where you can key in the bootstrap loader
program through the front panel switches.
