You should realize that you can still buy every part in the IMSAI 8080A
and associated boards and peripherals. You could build your own from
scratch for a few hundred $ (+ your time making the PC boards and
doing the sheet metal work.) I've done this, and it's called
[drum roll...] the TIMSAI. See my past posts on comp.os.cpm for
more details about "the original" and "the improved" (aka
"IEEE-696
compliant") versions.
Does this mean original parts? Also does it include the front
plexiglass overlay? When I got my Imsai about 10 years ago (it came
with a business I bought), someone had modified the Silkscreening to say
"Zenrad Northstar Z80A". It would be nice to have the original front
overlay!
