This is my prized possession. Ever since watching Wargames when it first came out in 1983, featuring this computer as an evil protagonist, I've loved this machine. Brings back memories of the earliest days of personal computing.
TheIMSAI 8080was an earlymicrocomputerreleased in late 1975, based on theIntel 8080(and later8085) andS-100 bus.The IMSAI is largely regarded as the first "clone" microcomputer. The IMSAI machine runs a highly modified version of theCP/M operating systemcalledIMDOS. It was developed, manufactured and sold byIMS Associates, Inc.(later renamed to IMSAI Manufacturing Corp). It was produced from1975 to 1978.

-Imsai 8080 computer. This is in immaculate condition cosmetically. Not a flaw. No scratches on the face plate etc. Just beautiful. See the video of my limited test. It turns on, and when stepping through the program you see the lights change. That is the end of my testing. While this worked up to that point, and as of May 16th, it is sold as is. Please read my standard disclaimer below. It will be carefully packed.
-From the photos you will see the following installed boards -IO board hard wired to the connectors on the back.

My standard disclaimer, intended for those new to collecting vintage computers and software:
Please keep in mind that vintage computers and software are delicate and may not always perform consistently. While I accurately describe any recent testing I have performed, there’s no guarantee it will function exactly the same upon arrival, as factors such as shipping and handling can impact its condition. Additionally, further testing may uncover issues that were not previously evident. This item is sold as-is, with no returns accepted, except in rare cases where damage occurs due to insufficient packing on my part.
Enjoy!
