IMSAI Series Two
Dino writes "You can actually pre-order a new IMSAI here. These folks bought the rights to produce the IMSAI in the late seventies, and provided the unit used in Wargames. It has a genuine S100 bus, but also has modern features as well, the most interesting being a driver that will allow you to access an ATX motherboard via the parallel port as a disk drive."
it's a cluster of computers that wanders off into the mountains, kills an ice monster and then later gets killed by that monster's relatives. i've never known what the big deal about it is, really.

Any cat can be chown'd with a sufficient supply of tuna.

Does it play "Global Thermonuclear War"? That looked like a great game.
With a 20 MHz CPU and the expanded instruction set of the Z8 processor, it should also be able to spool hundreds of biorhythm charts out to my daisywheel in seconds and run Hunt the Wumpus really fast. This is nice!
I wonder if they're going to update CP/M to support all that RAM transparently. That would be sweet.
You know, there might be a reason why such programs are called "WAR" dialers.
What Linux port? I'm hoping they offer CP/M 2000 or CP/M XP.
Your geek and nerd cards are revoked immediately. Someone who doesn't know what an IMSAI or S-100 bus is just cannot be a geek or nerd.
