The KIM-1 was developed by MOS Technologies 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 made it slightly complicated for e.g. hobbyists to make a clone of a KIM-1.
