A week or so ago I received my Kenbak-1 replica (if I understand the back plate correctly, it is # 0011 - but I'm not sure if that means 9 or 11...), and I've finally had a little time to start figuring it out.
It works nicely, though it does occasionally reboot or freeze up. Is this a common issue with these, or should I be looking for a possible loose connection or something? It isn't a huge issue, but can be frustrating if it happens at the wrong moment. (I have learned to love the serial interface for backing up and quickly reloading memory when necessary.)
Also one note: in the manual, the section on Serial Communication points us to the CH-340 serial driver. I suppose this is a carry-over from the source documentation maybe? I found that I needed the CP210x driver from Silicon Labs.
Anyway, here is a "hello, world" program; I could provide more detailed notes and explanation, but for now I will leave it as a mystery:
