Hi Bryan,
Welcome to the list. I'm fairly new here, myself and I lurked a while before
posting.
You have some very nice equipment. I am particularly fond of The Digital
Group machines. I had a friend years ago that built one with dual
Phi-Deck's, the TVC (TV readout & cassette), and the Z80 CPU. It was VERY
NICE, ahead of its time. Expensive, too!
The Kim-1 is another favorite of mine. I had one back when they were new and
mounted it in an aluminum chassis with breadboard sockets on the top. I
wire-wrapped an expansion board, adding another 1K of RAM, and extended the
cabling for the cassette I/F to micro jacks on the side of the chassis.
Then, with it all fixed up, I sold it. I've been kicking myself regularly
since. I have a VIM and a SYM-1, but am still looking for a "reasonably
priced" Kim-1.
I tried to access your web site and couldn't get to it. ??? I'll try again
tomorrow.
Regards,
Stuart Johnson
