The picture was a tiny B/W jpg lifted from the internet, and did not look too
promising.
The actual hardware ?
An absolutely mint, as-new, IMSAI 8080...
from the orignal owner....
with full documtation, including original invoice...
in the original IMSAI cardbox !
Also MPU-A and MIO cards..
24 Kbytes of 2102 SRAM..
all ICs socketed..
with papertape software....
handpulled papertape reader...
Needless to say no further price negotiations took place.
Sometimes the stars and planets align. Great isn't it?
