aim! MANUAL CORRECTIONS Jody Nelis K3JZD 132 Autumn Drive Trafford Pa 15085 I have had a Rockwell AIM 65 for three weeks now and I can only bay one thing: Fantastic ma- chine!!! The AIM is following a one year session with a KIM-1. The 8K monitor in the AIM takes care of a lot of the things that the KIM monitor needed additional software to handle. The text editor is slick especially for we typists who make a lot of mistakes. Entering a program in mnemonics is a step up from all Hex Op Codes The user's guide shipped with the AIM was hur- ridly put together since it held up shipment of the hardware. To help others who may have an AIM 65, I'm passing along several items that I believe to be incorrect in the user's guide (October 1978 is- sue). Page 2-19 A step is missing in the program entry for this example. Between the "AND #0F" and the "BRK" there should be a "STA #41". Page 2-25 At the top of the page, the display reg- ister format should read: PC P A X Y S Page 3-20 There is a problem with the form given for the (indirect),Y addressing mode. See the separate sheet: that discusses that subject. Page 3-23 Under using the K command: 1. Type K. AIM 65 will repsond with: *= 2. Enter the starting address in hexa- decimal. AIM 65 will respond with: *=0300 3, Type return. AIM 65 will respond with: / 4. specify the number of instructions, ETC. Page 9-11 The syn test pattern program has multiple errors in it. This is liable to have a lot of people wearing out VR1 or spending a lot of time trouble-shooting an OK tape recorder. I have included a corrected program disassembled from the AIM 65 on a separate sheet. Page 11-3 The Olivetti type no. 295933R35 thermal paper that is refered to can't be lo- cated in the Pittsburgh area using that number. In fact all of the Olivetti Dealers I talked to were unable to come up with any 2¼ inch wide paper at all. I have found that Texas Instruments #TP- 27225 thermal paper is the right size and price (3 rolls for $3.69) and is avail- able anywhere that TI calculators are sold. I haven't tried the SEARS paper yet but the catalog at least says it ex- ists. In a pinch, Radio Shack sells 3 smaller rolls for $2.79 that will work also (Cat No. 65-706). Page A-1 There is a problem with the form given for the (indirect),Y addressing mode. See the separate sheet that discusses that subject. Page K-10 The disassembly listing on this page and the next have been interchanged. Hopefully these corrections will aid any oth- er new AIM owners get aquainted with their machine.
