I don't think the "Cheap Video Cookbook" would survive the scanning
process (or at least, mine surely wouldn't - the binding would fragment
and I would have a stack of loose sheets - easier to scan, but kinda
messy for later).
The guy who gave me the pile of S-100 stuff this week had "Son of
Cheap Video", but he kept it.

The KIM is one of the items on my list from that era to aquire (got a
SYM-1 and an AIM-65). I'd love to see a website about a clone. Was it
this -
http://home.hccnet.nl/g.baltissen/kim-rb.gif - you were thinking
of? A schematic, but no board layout (I can generate schematics all day
long with OrCAD, but for a variety of reasons, I've never been able to
successfully migrate one of my designs to a layout package, which is why
the Elf99 project stalled).

They do - custom 6530s - 1K ROM, 64 bytes of RAM, I/O and timer. Handy
if you are trying to make a reduced-part-count machine. I think there's
been some effort to imitate a KIM-1 6530 with a daughter-card, but I
don't know if anyone has ever successfully emulated one.
There's a *nice* KIM-1 page at, surprise, surprise,
http://www.kim-1.com/
as well as Ruud Baltison's page at

(Ruud is a frequent poster on the cbm-hacker's list)
