So... 'fess up. Is this the 'door prize'
IMSAI?
Once this puppy is all restored I'll be sad to see it go. I've had the
case powder-coated (even better than the original...powder coating is
scratch resistant!), I've had the dual disk drive unit I'm including with
it powder-coated to match, it'll have a nice terminal spray-painted to
match both of those. It's totally cleaned up and almost sparkling.
Providing the IMSAI CPU still works, it'll have that, plus 64K of Godbout
RAM, and a Thinker Toys Disk Jockey. I haven't decided what I/O board to
use yet, and I'm thinking about throwing in a Godbout RAM17 (static) and a
System Support 1 (real-time clock/calendar, interrupt controller, math
corprocessor...) for good measure. The bus is the original IMSAI so I'll
probably put a California Computer Systems bus terminator in there help it
out.
In eBay dollars this system would be worth $2000-$3000. Some luck VCF
attendee will go home with it for free. What a steal.
