Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1

Functional front panel and z80 board. Pictured running the port FF test program testing input and output to port 0xFF. Note the corresponding programmed output LEDs to the Address-Programmed Input

See the clear vinyl bubbled up? I'm not sure if that was part of the shipping that you peel off, or a protective layer meant to be a permanent part of the system. Needs attention RSN.

I have a Intersystems Model 950 set of disk drives working too. I've got a bit of RTFM to do first before trying to boot any media I may have.

Intersystems Model 950 disk drives

Byte Magazine January 1982 Vol 7 no 1

I removed all the boards and the front panel (FP) board before testing the power supply. It was rock solid.

Detail of key lock (in case I rekey)

The chassis has threaded attached standoffs. Quite a lot easier to reassemble this FP than the Imsai FPs. Rock solid power supply voltage tested with my EEVBlog meter.

Lot's of options on this FP
