Should people just list the reserved price as the start price? I see
auctions with reserved price often get 0 bid. This is something I don't
understand. In what situation would this thing be useful?
(I saw the vax 4000 100 auction and got this question)
vax, 9000
can you elaborate a little? To my knowledge, Kermit is
a protocol or set of them. I know Im a little dull
occasionally...

Anyway (thanks for your response btw), the 50-pins connector appears to be a standard SCSI port, at least that is what I discovered after measuring the 'ground' pin layout and comparing it with a standard 50pin - SCSI datasheet... The original Harddrive was a full size 3,5 inch model from a brand named Kyosho (the hardware is dated 1985 so I don't think 2,5 inch was around back then...) It only had a 26pin data strip connector (no power connector) (It's broken btw) which was hooked up to a little controller board (loose hanging in between boards) from SMS OMTI ( a famous name that is often found in accordance with SCSI drives and other datastorage devices (or so I read here and there))
I'm familiar with the 44 pin IDE layout you describe in your message and I regret that probably isn't the setup in this little bugger. After some reading on the SMS OMTI board, i read somewhere that smaller sized 50-pin SCSI drives can indeed draw power from the datastrip connector... whether this could work in my setup is unknown and I will not be able to try since I do not have such a drive...
I've also tried to add a standard ISA 16bit IDE controllercard, but with no luck. The BIOS simply doesn't allow other HD controllers other than it's own... The bios is fairly limited and what little motherboard-jumpers there are, come with no description whatsoever. STUCK... i guess
Unless anyone has any objections, i will put
up everyones suggestions onto my webpage
until I find out for sure what it is.
If anyone wishes to have their suggestions
marked down as "anonymous" then also let me
know.

Scelbal (basic for the i8008) in source form is avaliable on some
internet sites. Google for scelbal and sc.asm
Anyone here sucessfully ran this on a emulator or on the real thing ?

Exactly how old is the IMSAI computer? I
assumed it was from the 80's as I have only
seen it in the film War Games (starring a
young Matthew Broderick). A quick search on
the 'net a few months ago only revealed the
one unit, available in 3 colours (grey, blue
and one other, IIRC).
