IMSAI 8080 computer, a clone of the MITS Altair 8800 microcomputer, with the manufacturer's label applied to the rear reading: "IMSAI 8080, San Leandro, CA, Serial Number 003376." Its distinctive design features a futuristic front panel with blue-and-red toggle switches and LEDs, enabling users to manually enter machine code and monitor operations. Untested and in very good to fine cosmetic condition. Accompanied by a 1977 IMSAI 8080 Microcomputer System User Manual, offering descriptions of the system and software, kit assembly instructions, and extensive technical details.
The IMSAI 8080, released in 1975, was one of the first personal computers and a landmark in microcomputing history. It was built around the Intel 8080 microprocessor and initially sold as a kit, allowing hobbyists to assemble it themselves. The computer became popular due to its expandability and compatibility with the emerging S-100 bus standard, which allowed users to add peripherals and upgrade their systems. It played a significant role in the development of the personal computer industry, paving the way for future innovations.
From the personal collection of Roger Wagner, an early pioneer in personal computing.
