I wish, but it's not. It's more like a much improved version of the
VDP-80 if anything. It doesn't use the same voice-coil drives that were
in the VDP-80, and it has a larger display I believe. It's a different
beast.
But oh yeah, it is an S-100 bus machine! It has an internal card slot
with CPU, drive controller, display, etc., S-100 cards.

But it was
made by Pertec Computer Corporation, the same guys who bought
out Altair. It's a huge beast: an all-in-one desktop unit with an
integrated CRT and two 8" floppy drives. The keyboard is almost a yard
long.
The description sounds for all the world like the Imsai VDP-80!
