AIM-65

The Rockwell AIM -65 computer was a training and development system based on an 6502 microprocessor from MOS Technology and was introduced in 1976. The AIM -65 was like a sequel to the KIM-1 computer and a brother of the Ohio Scientific Superboard II as additional hardware existed a floppy disk controller and a rear expansion connector. In 1981, Rockwell an improved model, the AIM-65/40, 40-character display. The Siemens built the AIM -65 under the name PC 100 in license after.

Software

The available software for the AIM -65 contained a monitor program with assembler / disassembler, a BASIC interpreter, assembler, Pascal, PL/65 and a FORTH development system. The standard software gave the system its name and contained the monitor program in ROM, the so-called Advanced Interactive Monitor (AIM ).

Technical structure

  • Built- English QWERTY keyboard
  • 20-character alphanumeric LED display ( 16 segments)
  • Integrated 20-character thermal printer
  • Serial interface 20mA current loop ( TTY)
  • Cassette interface with its own protocol or " KIM -1" - mode
  • Application plug with VIA 6522 chip by MOS Technology
  • Internal RAM memory of 4 KB
  • 5 Socket for 4 KB ROM or EPROM chips. Two base for the operating system (monitor ), two for BASIC, one for Forth, PL/65, 2-pass assembler, etc.
  • General Expansion Slot ( "expansion" )
  • The " Application " or " expansion plug " is largely compatible with the KIM-1 single board computers from MOS Technology and SYM -1 from Synertek.
