LOVE YOUR MOS TECHNOLOGY SWEAT SHIRT !!!
outstanding. thanks!
For anyone wanting to connect a Kim1 to a slightly more modern Commodore like you did, the VIC 1011A is not cheap to get hold of these days. There are modern clones available, like the GGLABS GLINK-LT, which you can find on E Bay for $50. That’s not exactly cheap either, but expect to pay at least 2x or more for an original. There are also TTL to RS232 adaptors available quite a lot cheaper than that if you have some soldering skills and a Commodore user port connector to wire to, but you need to be careful that they actually convert to 0-5V to full -12v to 12V RS232, and not just 3.3V to 5V. Many of them don’t work with actual RS232 voltages.
Very interesting! Great video!
Very cool.
This was a fun video if you want to connect your KIM-1 to an old VIC-20 and are using that to connect to a Commodore 1702 monitor. However, it is much easier to connect a KIM-1 to a monitor using the Corsham Board and a USB to Serial adapter and connecting that straight up to your computer and running a terminal program like Tera Term.

I notice with Vic20 in terminal mode KIM-1 startup memory address was 00C but on the C64 it was 004. Question What is setting the memory address on startup for the KIM-1.
WOW I have had the VIC-1011A since last May. I got it with a very nice working SX-64 along with some business software and a few Micropose games. I bought it from the son of the man who had owned it. I wish I know what he used the RS232 for, but seeing you video and the business software packages he had maybe he used it to turn his SX-64 into a terminal. Thoughts?
So I finally can remote control my kim1 from my IBM mainframe and run Crysis on it.
Why such a big side-board on the Kim1, I thought it had a UART right ON THE BOARD?
