What really held the Amiga back was the lack of an easily added on hard drive. SCSI was too expensive. A simple built in IDE interface on the A1000 would have made it a killer.
My first was IMSAI 8080, too. Built from a kit with 4K of static RAM. Entered programs 1 byte at a time by setting switches on the front. Later, a cassette deck, stringy floppy, and then dual 8" 250k single sided floppy disks. Spent $1000's on it and finally sold it to a neighborhood kid for $5.
