Hi all,

I have build a Solid State Tape Device for the microKIM. It will probably also work on the real KIM-1.

The SSTape bypasses the analoge part of the tape handling hardware (which is not available on the microKIM).

You can save 254 program's on the SSTape device (but if you want you can change the software and remove this limit). Recording a program with the monitor routine on address $1800 is as fast (or slow) as the original KIM-1, but loading a program from the SSTape Device is about ten times faster.

You can find the details here.

I like it. It's a good idea, executed well.
I'd probably try to make something that uses removable storage modules, but that's my preference.

Very nice project and a very intuitive interface and operation. Bravo!

You mention "3-gigabytes" storage on the ESP8266. Is that an error?

Cheerful regards, Mike

I think that in this case, the ESP8266 has as much storage as is on the other side of it's wifi connection.

Is there a software driven UART in conjunction with 6532?

Axel.

(sorry, a little bit off-topic but I reused this thread since I couldn't find better thread for Micro-KIM related question).

Wow! Yes, you are right. It is only 3 Megabytes .. still, more than enough for my projects..

Thanks for pointing that out!

I have thought on adding a SD card but I think I never need more than the 3 Megabytes I have available on the ESP8266.

But it is doable (see this BeeHave project).
