In Reply to: I too, began with a Vic 20! posted by E-Stat on October 25, 2023 at 08:56:32:
The KIM-1 was a single board computer with HEX keypad for programming in machine code and used a Cassette tape for loading and storing programs. I later picked up an Assembler and Tiny-BASIC for the KIM-1.In the early 1980's I was working in the engineering department for Rockwell / Collins General Aviation in SoCal [just behind the OC John Wayne Airport before they moved]. We built several Apple II+ clones along with a clone 80-Colummn card. Stock Apple II+ displayed only 40-Columns of text. Some engineers reverse engineered the Apple II+ and our circuit board designer layed out the PCB for production. Back then it was easy to copy unprotected firmware in ROM to EPROM using an EPROM programmer.
KIM-1 Computer based on MOSTEK 6502 Processor:
Both computers [KIM-1 and Apple II+] were based on the 6502 processor as was the VIC-20.
