Hi all --
I finally have procured enough hardware to get my IMSAI 8080 running
again, albeit in a very barebones state. I currently have only 16K of
working (and compatible) memory and am trying to get an additional 32K
static RAM board working again (It's an IMS board, see:
http://www.s100computers.com/Hardware%20Folder/IMS/32K%20Static%20RAM/32K%2…)
Mine is missing a number of memory chips; these are 5257 4Kx1 (I believe
from my research the TMS4044 is equivalent). Can
anyone suggest a
reputable place to pick up half a dozen or so of these for a
reasonable
price? There are a few on ebay for $6 each, which seems a little steep
(but perhaps my expectations are out of order...)
I'm also looking for a manual for a PSS RAM65. I believe this is a 16K
DRAM board. It's the only S-100 board in my collection that I haven't
managed to find a manual or schematic for...
Once I get the memory situation resolved I hope to get a floppy disk
system working. I currently have a Tarbell 1011D in unknown condition
-- is this a decent card to work with (and can it be made to work with
5.25" drives?), or would I be better off finding something else?
Thanks as always,
Josh
