Relive the glory (gory?) days of early computing with these two great sites for vintage computer kits. Briel Computers has kits for the Apple I (Replica I) and the Kim-1 (Micro Kim). And, Spare Time Gizmos has a has a kit for the Cosmac ELF (ELF 2k). These kits are great ways to learn the basics of computer architecture and data organization.

    So, we have gone from KIM to Arduino in thirty years.

    I continue to be amazed that everything is on the internet somewhere. Just on a whim, I followed the link from Briel Computers to 6502.org and found their archive of Micro magazine. Ihey have a pdf of the June 1981 issue that has my article on making a memory expansion board for the Ohio Scientific Superboard, another 6502 based computer. I still think the 6502 was the neatest CPU of any I have owned. Glory days, indeed.
