Scarce PolyMorphic Systems Poly-88 computer, with the manufacturer's label applied to the rear, reading: "PolyMorphic Systems, Model Poly 88, Serial No. 2075, Santa Barbara, Ca. 93111." The front panel of the compact computer boasts a power switch and reset button. Announced in April 1976, the Poly-88 was an early Altair clone, based on the Intel 8080A CPU, and earned the nickname 'the orange toaster' due to its size, shape, orange top cover (absent from this unit), and heat thrown from the S-100 bus cards. With a footprint of just 17˝ x 7˝ x 4.5˝, the Poly-88 is much smaller than most microcomputers of the period and lacks the front panel indicators and controls of the Altair 8800 and its ilk. Untested and in fine cosmetic condition.
