They have been up for about 2 years on the same web site if I
remember right. Even if the NEW cpu is classic they sell some
repacement parts for the original IMSAI.
BTW I remember a old AD for adding a MEG of memory for your
8080 - S100 computer. Did any software ever make use of it?

Today, I noticed a link on Slashdot about the
IMSAI
Series Two at www.imsai.net. Shipping in July. It
LOOKS real, but there are mostly drawings and not
pictures. Uses a Z80 successor CPU. Switching power
supply, though. $995. Still the beautiful front panel
that was as good as most mini's. Frankly, I find this
price hard to believe - too low, given the super
quality of the original machine and the volume this
might be made in.
I was looking at the site myself earlier. Most of the cost looks to be from
the front panel, and aparently that $995 gets you a pretty bare bones
system. I think the disk controller and stuff is extra.
Any idea how legit they are? I'm tempted to order the metal piece I needfor
the front so I can convert my rack mount case to a tabletop.
