- I explore the Rockwell AIM-65 vintage computer. This is a 6502-based computer from the late 1970s. This computer came with 4KB of RAM and 20KB of ROM, and had some kind of calculation program installed for what I think is a manufacturing company. It came in a nice all-metal industrial case. I build a display board that uses the 6545 CRTC chip to render composite video. I also build a speech synthesizer using the SP0256A-AL2 speech synthesis IC. I also demonstrate using BASIC and Forth languages, and establish a serial connection to the vintage computer. For more vintage computer videos, see www.smbaker.com/
Great video, I learnt 6502 machine code/assembly on one of these versatile robust machines back in 1981. I retrieved my AIM65 from storage to have play and have started to recreate your Display card which really makes the machine more usable.
I love that alphanumeric LED display.
I used an AiM-65 when I was in college to learn 6502 after I learned 6502 assembly on a Commodore 64 in my first job in high school. I just recently purchased one on e-bay with a wire wrapped Video board. I am in the process of getting it functional. I was shocked no one bid on it. I enjoy the diversity of your content. Thanks.
Thank you for a marvelous trip!
I first saw this at college when I was 17 years old (1982) It was used to teach us 6502 machine code programming. This is so nostalgic - Thank you!
Cool. The AIM-65 was my second computer back in the day. I first got a KIM-1 in 77, then the AIM and finally an Apple ][ some years later. After that it was an IBM XT and the "exciting magic" feeling of computers went away and it all became a bit more boring.
Oh man, I’d do anything to get to mess around in forth on that thing! Amazing stuff ❤
Oh yeah, thinking of which - I still need a speech synth for my Microprofessor 😊 nice video, thanks for sharing. We certainly share a common Obsession when it comes to vintage speech synths 😂
Great video, as always. I have a soft spot for 8-bit development systems and an AIM-65 is one I've always lusted after - like a KIM-1 on steroids. I do have a KIM-1 though so I really can't complain.
What a cool machine
Just a few years ago, I pulled one out of a public dumpster. I couldn't believe my eyes!
And it works! It's got BASIC installed and there is a huge circuit board in its "basement" with 36k of RAM (18k battery backed 6116 and 18k non-battery backed 2114 and yes I know 18k is a weird number) as well as a few ROM chips. It didn't come with the cable that connects it to the AIM-65 though and I haven't dumped any of the ROMs yet or tested the RAM, I just removed the VARTA Destroyer Of Boards (TM) battery.
(first thin I did was take it to a retrocomputing expo and wrote a small BASIC program that would scroll "LEGALIZE DUMPSTER DIVING" across its gorgeous bubble LED display - as in Germany, I'm pretty much a criminal stealing antique computers out of dumpsters)

I have an AIM-65 in it's original cardboard box with a bunch of original manuals and guides but no chassis. I'd love to test it someday but the PCB looks really crusty on the back so I think it would be a good idea to go over it completely before attempting to power it. Very cool to see what the machine could be capable of, thanks!
These machines were long before my time, but I love these videos.
Brilliant stuff! Great video, thank you for sharing!
Cool!
There’s your like and fallow good man
that computer is so nice....I love rare hardware..I have never seen this model....very nice.what year 78 79?
ok 79 then..
It would make more sense if the Rockwell AIM-65 was some kind of anti-interceptor missile developed for the Rockwell B-1. Maybe if you type in the right numbers it can 3D print you one?
Thanks Scott. Always love your videos. What do you use to compile for your 22V10s ? Thanks.
