From the project
A replica of the Junior Computer (a KIM-1 clone) published by Elektor in the 80's
The Junior Computer is a 6502 SBC made by Elektor in 1980. It looks a lot like a KIM-1.
This is a replica PCB I made with KiCAD.
The best source of information for this computer is Elektor Magazine from 80's , but you can find a lot on this website : http://retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/elektuur-junior/
This board is not a 100% accurate replica, because I have added directly on the PCB a few updates published later by Elektor : a fix for memory decoding needed for the expansion board the main decoupling capacitor C2 was on wrong side of S25 (activate display) which could reset the computer *…
