	The KIM-1 was developed by [[MOS Technology]] to prototype and show off the abilities of their CPU, the [[MOS 6502]]. It was sold as a fully assembled SBC, announced at $245 in the May 1976 issue of Byte magazine. The SBC included two [[6530 RRIOT]] chips, which due to their masked ROM makes it slightly complicated for e.g. hobbyists to make a clone of a KIM-1. But there are some clones out there which work quite well. ~~Emulators~~ have the same problem, but there are some emualators available anyway.
