No, I was actually made by General Electric...I'm a bit of a pack rat 
but it was jettisoned a very long time ago.  The Altair and the SWTPs 
went on the last move along with all the Flex and OS9 stuff and the 
serial terminals...the garage was looking like a museum.

Ahhh, the KIM-1...now there was a fun little machine...I still have a 
fondness for computers with real I/O...7 segment LEDs and a keypad. ;)
I sorta snicker at the 4k stack problem...remembering the fixed 128 byte 
stack pointer on the 6502...which didn't seem much of a limitation at 
the time.
