Kim-1 Computer

My boxed KIM has 6502 dated 4875, and latest onboard date 0376. My Users
Guide is dated March 1976, the Cross Assembler (preliminary) manual August
1975, and wouldn't you (&%^% know it, the machine-postage-stamp on the box
omits a date :(. There's a white inkstamped number (078) on the back of the
KIM. Leftmost digit, if present, is under rubber foot. Digits look the
same (slightly messier) than the 0001 in the URL Marvin supplied.
Looks fairly safe to say that the number on the back IS a serial number, and
my copy, board #78, was manufactured around March/April 1976.
Cheers
A
