The PLEASE package was published as two documents: INSTRUCTIONS and LISTING. In 2025 I received V2 of the LISTING and the Instruction. Jeff and Kenneth White received V1 of Vern Graner. All this including sources typed in now available here: retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/kim...

Have you heard of the PLEASE software package for the KIM-1?
Robert M. Tripp created these programs in 1977 by hand, without an assembler. It's a collection of games and tools to help you learning how the KIM works. github.com/jefftranter/...

I had a great time last week at the international plant fair #IPM in Essen. Thanks to all the wonderful people I met, suppliers, influencers, customers & friends. It is always worth a visit!

The KIM-1 was an amazing little machine. It ran a whole universe of programming languages: BASIC, PASCAL, FORTH, FOCAL, VTL02, PILOT, and COMAL.
But it wasn’t just about languages — there were so many practical applications too:

The KIM-1 was designed to be a practical demonstrator board for the shiny new 6502 microprocessor, but became a cult computer system in its own right.

And also availabe on Tindie is the PAL-2, a full 64 kb equipped KIM-1 clone.
Better than the original with a USB-C connector

An original KIM-1 is expensive these days. To get a clue what this computer was all about, you can emulate it - here are several emulators:

The great thing about the KIM-1 is that if you don’t have an original you can build yourself a clone. Here is a PAL-II you can find on Tindie beside an original.
