IMSAI Series Two

Posted by Hemos on from the get-your-legacy-on dept.

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."

    That might be fun to play with, beings as I was not even around when those things were "popular".

    Please reread the subtitle of /.: News for Nerds. The vast majority of the target audience does know about the S-100 bus, first designed for the Altair and common to most of the 8080/Z80 CP/M microcomputers of the late 70s and early 80s, and about the IMSAI, one of those computers. (Besides, the linked site has the background information; one need only follow the link.)

    Just out of a general sense of curiosity - since you obviously know next to nothing about the history of (personal) computers, what are you doing on Slashdot?

    Add to that - why are you whining 'cause you don't understand the story? See the blue text up there? Click on it - now read the page that just opened up and be enlightened. As enlightened as you can get anyway.
