Introducing . ..the world's lowest cost computer system TM JOLT@) is the new, fully-tested microcomputer with the exclusive on-board DEMON@) debug monitor. You can build it, plug it in and talk to it in three h.ours or less .. for a price of just $249! The basic JOLT@) card includes an 8-bit MOS Technology Model 6502 CPU, which requires no clock, can directly address 65k of memory, has two index registers , 58 instructions with 11 addressing modes , two interrupts and includes both single step and address halt capability. And that's only a part of it. JOL T' s@l CPU card is avail able I MMEDIATEL Y* in either kit form or as­ sembled ($249 fo r the kit in single quantity and $348 assembled). Either way, the JOLT @l CPU is completely teste d prior to delivery . It comes complete with a termi­ nal in terface (TTY or EIA) and a unique software DEbugger/MONitor called DEMON@l, for which fu ll documentation is provided.
