![]() Maybe it's because I'm a little squirt, but this gets me to understand what history was like from a computing perspective for systems before my time. It might be neat for someone who just wants to play around with switches, but part of the joy of collecting computers for me is getting old (or replica) gear put together and working like it would have originally. This seems like it sits in a weird inbetween of simply using modern PC-based emulation software, and having an accurate clone. The visual accuracy is really neat, and it would potentially make a really good basis for creating your own replica IMSAI 8080, but I wouldn't buy it. Idk, as a hardware purist pedant, I'd be more interested in an S100 bus clone system (S100 bus was /very/ basic, and iirc, just a standard way to link cards together, usually offering semi-standard ideas on where what connectors should do which and what.). ![]()
