I always love the term "Power Up". About all that means
is that some light will go on and there is little or no smoke.

Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1 with PerSCI Dual 8" Drives
This is an S-100 bus systems, commonly used for running CP/M, of late 1970s
vintage. I think that the PSU in the drives has failed, so I'm unable to
boot or test the system further, however all das blinkelights seem to work
properly. In the system are the following cards:
Cromemco ZPU
Info2000 Discomem
Cromemco IO Card (2xserial, 2xparallel)
32K memory card
Collection from Wirral, preferred. "

UKP50 for this is a steal. I'm sure someone will end up with it. These
are among the rarer S-100 machines from the 1970s.
