SW1 – SST 

This enables the single-step option for the 6502 processor, but it requires a 
capacitor be added to the bottom side of the board on U16 between pins 7 and 8.  
Please reference the KIM User Manual for details. 
 

JP1  

This selects whether E000-FFFF are connected to RAM or EEPROM.  If you wish to 
use the extended KIM monitor in the Expansion EEPROM socket, this must be set to 
the EEPROM position. 
 

JP2 – AUX IRQ 

Installing this jumper connects the interrupt line from IC9 to IRQ.  This is normally 
not installed. 
 

JP3 – MAIN IRQ 

Installing this jumper connects the interrupt line from IC9 to IRQ.  This is normally 
not installed. 
 

JP4 – 6502 

If you are using a 6502 processor then this must be installed.  If you are using a 
65C02, this must be removed. If installed, pin 1 of IC1 (the processor) is grounded. 
 

SV1 

This connector is used to access the I/O pins on the 6532 chip at IC9.  It is meant to 
be used along with our 

SD Card System

 to provide mass storage for the KIM Clone, 

but can also be used for general purpose I/O.  Be aware, though, that there is no 
buffering between these pins and the 6532 pins so care must be taken not to draw 
too much power or exceed 5 volts on these pins. 
 
Pin 1 and 2 can be located from this photo of the board; the pin numbers are no 
longer visible once the connector is installed:
