The KIM-1, short for Keyboard Input Monitor, is a small 6502-based single-board computer developed and produced by MOS Technology, Inc. and launched in 1976. It was very successful in that period, due to its low price (thanks to the inexpensive 6502 microprocessor) and easy-access expandability. - Wikipedia

Discovered this very early historic home computer from my morning music "On the Other Ocean the debut studio album by American composer David Behrman,.. Considered a pioneering work of computer music, the album pairs electronics controlled by a KIM-1 computer with live players."

Predictably and wonderfully, we can build one ourselves.
