IMSAI News? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

  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.

...
  Does even discussing this violate the 10 year rule?

Not if the "so cool it's already classic" rule is still in effect :^)  Sort
of like a BeBox is more or less ontopic or NeXT HW was a few years ago :^)
