at the heart of it. My job was to analyze and fix problems found by other engineers working in the field with our main product, single board computers. (Putting an entire computer on a single circuit board had only recently been made possible by Intel's invention of the microprocessor.) I published a

. The differences between the KIM-1 and the Altair computer illustrate a split in design philosophy within the computer world. The KIM-1 was a single-board computer, with all components mounted on a single printed-circuit board. It had room for expansion, but there were no slots to insert adapter cards. This

.” With a third, stable source for the 6502, hardware makers were more likely to use the 6502 in their products. Rockwell released a “KIM-like” single-board computer called the AIM-65. The 6502 system was similar to the KIM-1, but contained a 20-digit LED display and a tiny thermal printer

to bringing his company’s high-end 3D printers to market for just $399 within the next five years. Another example of this trend includes single-board computers for robotics and education, where the open sourced Raspberry Pi platform has proved transformative. The same is true of single-board controllers, where Arduino has
