Hey, *I'M* under 35!  I resent that...  :-)

I've got three manuals sitting here: "KIM-1 USER MANUAL", "HARDWARE MANUAL",
and "PROGRAMMING MANUAL".  I'd be happy to loan you these in return for
assurances that I'll get them back within a month or so; I've had bad
experiences loaning things over the Net.  My KIM-1 is nowhere near
operational, but it's still a neat relic to have (and fits in very nicely in
my museum  :-)
