Build a Piece of History: The KIM-1 Replica Build!
Join me on a nostalgic journey as I build a replica of the iconic KIM-1, a single-board computer that paved the way for the Commodore line. Discover the history of the KIM-1 and the 6502 CPU while following me through the entire soldering process.
This amazing replica will be auctioned off on October 19th to raise money for the Befriending Scheme. The auction will also include a ton of other Commodore computers, peripherals, and more. There will even be a 12-hour live stream with special guests!
With huge special thanks to @RetroBytesUK John for his amazing contribution. You are a legend sir.
Also even bigger and huger thanks to Devilish Designs Dave Williams for his incredible generosity and brilliant help along the way. Simply amazing.
