Not sure if this URL will share properly but this is one item I'd love to hear if
anyone knows about. Definitely one of my most unusual prices however I bought it from a
fellow collector and he got it from a friend's pawn shop find so not much on the true
origin other than speculation.
I haven't had time to fix it, but even the molecular connectors for the power are a
but unusual.
I brought it to our VCF South/Southwest a few times for showing early Portable computers.

That brings back some KIM-1 memories! I recall a KIM-fan friend who
ordered up a complete KIMSI S-100 adapter, as well as a standard S100
case and PSU from Integrand, complete with 5.25" floppy cutout. I took
on the task of helping him out getting the floppy (a Shugart SA400)
going. It was a bit of a nightmare with the big power transformer
living in the same box. We had to work up some shielding for the drive.

Anyone ever heard of the GTE IS1000?
