IMSAI 8080

Just rescued this from a trip to the dump!

 

 

Hopefully with some work I will be able to bring this and the associated hardware back to life!

 

More pictures here of the hardware I got with it:

Wow! Good save! Talk about a piece of early personal computer history saved in the nick of time!

Sweet. Now your dreams of playing Global Thermonuclear War can finally come true

Incredible! That Heathkit H19 terminal is a thing of beauty too. I've always wanted to own a Heathkit product, but I don't think it's too likely I'll find any in the trash anytime soon

Would you like to play a game?

It was headed for the dump? That's just wrong...

It might be wrong, but that is what is happening. This stuff is worthless to the common modern suburbanite nowdays.

1up!

I don't have a real desire to own an Imsai computer, but I would certainly rescue it from the dumpster if I came across one. That is a piece of computer history there. I imagine it's worth a few dollars too.

Cool find! I once found a huge box of assorted cables (and a Zip drive) in the trash, but never anything valuable.

 

Does it include any additional hardware (e.g. expansion cards) or is it just the bare console?
