Identification of EPROM Programming board - AIM or KIM or ???

Hi Bill,

  I don't have any information on your board but The S-100 & Other Micro
Buses by Poe and Goodwin talks about a KIM-4 board that is an expansion
board for the Kim-1. The Kim-4 measures 11 x 11.5" inches and has two
sockets that mate to the two expansion connectors on the Kim-1. The Kim-4
has six "expansion module connectors" on it that look similar to the card
sockets in an IBM PC. The module connectors have 44 pins and the
connections are *ALMOST* the same as those on the Kim-1. The Kim-4 also
has one application connector on one edge and one bus expansion connector
on the end opposite the Kim-1 connectors. The book says that the Kim-4 was
made by MOS Technology, Inc.

  The same book also shows a "KIMSI" expansion board for the Kim-1. The
KIMSI has eight >> S-100 buss << expansion connectors.

   FWIW,
   Joe
