Besides the Kim-1 (which isn't mine <sigh>), I did acquire a few interesting
things. I got a Radio Shack Micro Color Computer (the first in my
collection!), a Sharp PC-5000 portable computer w/ built in printer and
external floppy drive, and a Silent 700 Data terminal WITH manuals! I have
several of the Silent 700's but this is the first manuals I have seen for
the unit. There are still a number of bankers boxes full of documentation
that I will be picking up in the future.

Re: the Kim-1, there was also Educassette Computer Aid Digital Data Recorder
with docs that is believed to have gone with the Kim-1. It looks like a
neat system and the description reads "Uses the industry standard tape
saturation method to beat all FSK systems ten to one. No modems or FSK
decoders required. Loads 8K of memory in 17 seconds ..." There is a tape
in it labeled 8080 software. I suspect the tape at least was not used in
the Kim-1 :).
