curiosity, anyone know how many IMSAIs were produced?
I would guess a few hundred thousand, if you include the
industrial and turn-key S-100 systems without a full front panel.
Many of the boxes were rebranded by various manufacturers (i.e.
the Cromemco box mentioned here a couple days ago.)

So what about the "replicas" everyones been talking about? As someone who
will probably never find a "real" IMSAI, much less afford it if I did find
it, I'd be interested in building a replica.
I don't think they're THAT hard to find. With "a few hundred thousand"
in various implementations floating around, you're bound to run into run
sooner or later, even if its not the vanilla type.
