The picture was a tiny B/W jpg lifted from the internet, and did not look too
promising.
The actual hardware ?
An absolutely mint, as-new, IMSAI 8080...
from the orignal owner....
with full documtation, including original invoice...
in the original IMSAI cardbox !
Congratulations! This time you were not too reluctant :-P (remember my first
H316?)

Oh, I want such a
device! Can you PM me a picture?
Needless to say no further price negotiations took
place.
No??? I'd have asked for a discount because of the missing floppy.
About the only minus is the MDC-A4 floppy controller,
which requires more
difficult to find hardsectored disks.
( Original diskdrive and disks were scrapped a long time ago )
I will also need to find some extra s100 connectors to complete the backplane.
I
probably have such a drive and some floppies. PM me if I should dig for it.
