I recently acquired this S-100 computer.
It says "Micropolis" on one of the PC cards
and on a nameplate on the front of the
floppy drive. It carries a tag inside which
says the manufacturer is INTEGRAND - Visalia, CA.
and the model is 800D-4E.
Can anyone please tell me more about it?
Here is a link to photos I have uploaded...

Bob

Bob, that is one sweet machine. The neatest thing about it for me is
where it was made. Visalia is this middle of the nowhere town in central
California. There is nothing out there except for cows and lettuce
fields. And a state prison. So its surprising.
Nice pictures but I can't really make anything out. Are all the cards
branded Integrand or are there any Thinker Toys (Morrow) or Godbout cards
inside?

Micropolis is the name of the floppy drive and controller maker, one of
the first 5.25" drives out, I think. I've got one from circa 1977 in one
of the IMSAI's I dragged home today :-)

If none of the cards or motherboard has this brand name on it, then
chances are that Integrand just manufactured the chassis. I have a
similar no-name S-100 box with a nice wood cabinet.
BTW, the IMSAIs I nabbed today were the 2nd and 3rd of the three (!) this
guy had for sale. Unfortunately, somebody from Texas swooped down and
grabbed box 1 along wth *all* of the IMSAI docs and the CPU card from one
of my boxes :-(
But that just means I got a better deal, and makes my upcoming IMSAI
projects that much more fun :-) So, who has some IMSAI docs they'd like
to trade away? Who made CPU cards that have a plug for the front-panel
header? And where can I get the plastic IMSAI toggle switches? (One of the
IMSAIs is missing most of the switches).
BTW, I also got a SBC as part of the deal (in addition to some other cool
stuff). Anybody familar with the Advanced Digital Super Six?

I can probably help you, Doug, as I have a couple of them floating around
here.
