I plan on trying to remove the marker from the back of
the film with
isoporpyl alcohol. My backup is that I can replace the film and I will
store
the old one in the packaging that the new one is sent
in.
The new film, although computer-generated, was derived from original
photomask by Todd himself or by one of his team working with a local print
shop. I'm pretty certain that it will be indistinguisnable from the
original
as it's being sold as a "new replacement part
for the original IMSAI".
For $20, it's worth it. I also plan on ordering the replacement 3/16"
Plexiglas front for $8. The existing one is in great shape, but it can't
hurt having a spare. The red filter looks to be in good shape.

It's great having Todd available, it's the only original S100 manufacturer
I'm aware of with this level of support.
The only other original S100 manufacturer doing any support is Alpha-Micro
and I think the only support they have for their S100 customers is providing
copies of manuals that are already available for download. It's nice that
they don't just hang up on them. Cromemco is interested in having their old
stuff on my site but they don't support the S100 stuff themselves.
